It's A Satisfying Feeling.

I'm shrinking!! ...or something like that.  I ordered my uniforms through work... last year I ordered 30 inch length... and they were a bit long... so much so I had to take a couple of inches off the length. ...this year being the proactive person that I am... ordered 29 inch length.... and they arrived today... even longer than last year's pants.... I actually don't think I'm shrinking... or my current pants wouldn't fit... but it goes to show how cheap overseas labor doesn't have much quality control... Is the Domincan Republic "overseas"?? I got them in just in time for a visit to DC on Thursday... I am supposed to have a few important meetings and the timing coincided with the arrival of my new uniforms... at least the shirts should be all fresh and clean...
I had a dream about my aunt passing away the other night... she's in really, really bad shape.... in the hospital now with low blood count.... 4.1. I'm not sure what is normal.. but the way everyone is talking that's not good.  My uncle has said something to my dad about moving in if something happens to her.... even though they're brothers... I think that would be a horrible idea... they are both control freaks... and neither of them really know how to live alone... after all this time.. my dad still struggles from day to day... so that might be good if they don't kill each other first. When asked my opinion.... I simply stated "Weigh your options and then make whatever choice you think you should make" ...I'm not about to get saddled with the responsibility of that decision... that's like stepping in front of a speeding locomotive.
I'm being productive at work... not with all the extra bull-ony that the center assigns outside of my scope of work... but with actually structure of my class. I have needed to get focused back in on that for awhile.... I'm hoping things will take off... I get along very well with my co=instructor for the computer tech trade... from the beginning people seemed to think we had known and worked together for years... but now it's only been 2 years... and he will retire in 2 more years.... he's over 65... of course something could happen to change that... but I like working with him.... I respect him for his experience... as he respects me in turn... I think it would be nice if people would get along like he and I do... but unfortunately it doesn't work that way.
I still don't have much of a social life.. but that's by choice.  I choose to be where I am... when I am... and how I am... I have never felt more in control of my life than I do right now. It's a satisfying feeling.

Not In My Lifetime.

It's 1:15 am.. I just got back from my niece's wedding.. and it was.. different .. not what I was used to.. but nice all the same..  I only have this to say about the reception... WTF!!! l guess I should give a bit of background information... my spouse wandered off doing her own thing.. as I prefer it that way... so when I happen to come into close proximity of her by accident.. she motions me over.. and has been talking to the head of the catering company... they have been talking for awhile.. and in a short period of time.. they have been getting to know each other a bit..   as I approach.. this woman.. who's name is the same as my spouse.. is saying.. "I just seem to know him.. he looks like John.. somebody"  My spouse then starts with a sales pitch of how great of a guy I am.. and what I do teaching computers.. and this woman starts striking up a conversation with me in front of my spouse.. she even talks about how handsome I am...   she mentions that she i...

Something I Have Learned Well.

It's odd how we interact with others on so many levels... one would assume by my wide range of references that I have a large assortment of friends.. In all actuality, the people in my circle of friends could be counted on my hands.. and close friends... well..  easily on one hand. I'm not what I would consider a social butterfly... but to be honest.. I sometimes like crowds.. I enjoy having groups of people around me.. I don't stick out like a sore thumb.. and sometimes getting lost in the rest of the world... isn't such a bad thing. How often do you go and "people watch" ....and then think about those people once you're gone... not very often, I'm guessing.. not unless one did something completely out of the ordinary.  I just like having the feeling that I'm normal.. an ordinary person... I just sat here in this chair for most of the weekend.. not really accomplishing anything.. nothing constructive by any means... I feel as though maybe I'm...

Stay Out Of Things Where I Don't Belong.

I am starting to get used to the hours... I think... who knows.. one day I feel like I was drug out of my bed kicking and screaming... other days I feel like I've been poured full of coffee and energy drinks... I've cut down on my morning coffee by the way... Oh... I didn't blog about that... after first moving here, I started drinking flavored coffee in the mornings... but I've decided I don't want to get dependent on that.... I still have the occasional coffee... but as I've said before... too much of anything is a bad idea... so I cut back.  I also decided to give up something for Lent... I might have blogged about it... but I tried to think of something that would be a sacrifice.. so I gave up masturbation.  I know that's not really in the spirit of Lent... as far as giving up something like that... but hey... I can't think of many other things I enjoy more... especially with my sex life as it is... I sorta don't have the inspiration at this poi...
