Most Can't Speak Their Mind.

 It's been a few weeks... and I've been out on another fire assignment ...for 21 more days... plus 2 travel days... it's good money... and other than my mortgage, I'm pretty much debt free now. That makes me pretty happy. I am also enjoying my job... I'm fully qualified now on ITSS, so I can take students out next fire season and get them qualified. Officially, I have to wait until they process my paperwork.. but it's a done deal. I'm staying super busy trying to catch up at work now... and there's so much to do.  I am still teleworking 2 days a week... and I am taking most Fridays off to get all my annual leave in.. I'm also taking the week of Thanksgiving... and the last 2 weeks of December off.. it should get it all burned so I can carry over my maximum of 240 hours.  I like to keep that bank in case something should happen. I'm hoping they hire someone full time for at least one of my other 3 positions... maybe even all 3.. but we'll have to wait and see.  I'm still on M&F ...I enjoy the interaction... plus.. its nice to be free to say stuff without the fear of judgement... not that I'm concerned with judgement of most people, but most I interact with is on a professional level. I have to watch that for fear of my employment. I wonder about what most people think a lot of the time... but I also don't worry about things that people don't want to share... I'm a strong believer in being open... and honest.. and I love communication. My problem is most people tell what they want you to hear... that's okay for casual conversation, but I don't look to ever form a strong bond until a person can overcome that and be able to call me out if they disagree.. I don't look to argue.. but I like the fact that there are people that can say things without regard to trying to just be agreeable. Most can't speak their mind.

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...
