Music: Out of your Mouth - I'm Ugly & KMFDM - A Drug Against War
Whats been going on lately around here, apparently so much stuff has gone on that I don't have time to do anything any more. Which is a total crock of crap but I'm use to lying to myself about these things.
I spent part of the morning in a meeting learning about software that I'm supposed to be teaching in the coming months. Not only did it make little to no sense but the person who wrote it didn't explain the purpose of the software and the things that I'll need to know. The morning was spent learning what happens when I click a button that says "Add Group". (I could have figured that out on my own.)
To make matters worse, I have to spend the better part of this afternoon dealing with a project that was thrust upon me when I returned to work. The bulk of which will be the software that I spend time learning this morning. Oh yeah baby, hear me screaming.
The weekend was pretty great, spent the better part of Saturday in my wife's hometown hanging out with her mom and Step dad. We also got to see friends of ours who are getting married the end of March to discuss their wedding photos. Did I mention that I agreed to be their photographer? Probably not, but its good reason to buy a new camera. Now, if only I could find some cash to do that.
Apart from that I spent a good portion of time playing fetch with our new kitten. He did it for like an hour the other night, I'd throw it to make him go away and stop chewing on my toes, then he'd bring it back. The cycle continued until I got fed up and let him chew on my toes.
The only sour note of the weekend was that my wife spent the better part of Friday poking her finger to determine if it was broken or not. There was an accident in the office which caused her to fall on her chair, which then fell on her hand severely bruising her ring finger.
She tells the story a little different, when she tells it there's some tilting, laughter, falling, yelling and blame being directed at me. (Which I wouldn't deny as it was kind of funny.)
She's doing much better now though, which is good because I'd hate to be responsible for her having a hooked finger, though it would be good for scaring children later in life.

Funny things....
that I find amusing.
music: The Shins - Turn on Me & Holy Fuck - Safari
Three funny things that have happened since I started back at work:
1. I realized how neglectful I've been of this blog. I will attempt to rectify this in the near future.
Why is this funny? Because, everyday when I show up to work, while I'm surfing the internet on my break at lunch I think of really important things that I need to share with people. I formulate exactly what needs to be said and how I need to say it and then I completely ignore putting anything down. Its like I'm thinking that everyone will just read my mind and assume to know what I'm talking about and thinking. Yeah, if only I was so lucky. Wait, that would be a bad thing....
2. That we're actually going to my sisters wedding in Mexico. Not really funny, but its important. I'm still undecided on whether or not we'll tell people or let them find out on their own. Its funny because I called my sister, which I never do and should call her more, to tell her but she was out having some food. So, I left a message. She gets home and hears that I called and immediately telephones.... her twin. Why? To find out if I called her because she swore that my wife was pregnant. Why not call me to find out why I called? Though, I can't say much, I'd have done the same thing.
3. While driving to an AWESOME holiday vacation in Cape Breton my wife decided to have fun with me in the car. She began demanding that I call her by a special name that I had called her once before. Now, I call her many things, Sweet Pea, Honey Muffin, Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie, Jerkhead, Ass-Munch. Basically whatever I'm feeling like at the time. She had something in mind that I had use about a year and a half ago. I don't remember what it was anymore.
We spent 6 hours in the car driving to my mom's house and an hour of that trying to guess what she was thinking. I gave up and decided that she needed a new pet name that would be special and NEVER EVER used for anyone throughout time. I took two things that I was looking at and called her "Road Tree". She looked at me kind of puzzled and continued to sing to the music.
About 20 minutes later I asked her if she wanted to do something maybe stop for a bite to eat or I could have been tickling her, she looked at me sternly and said, "Road Tree says NO!" I near killed us I laughed so hard.

Wishing upon a star....
Did you ever have one of those realizations where suddenly everything that was in your life finally made sense; where you can close you eyes and suddenly see a solution to a problem that has been plaguing you... I wish I had one of those realizations right now.
Things would seem so much clearer if I could suddenly see past the hurdles in life. Although I suppose that if I had such realizations other people would want me to help them out with their problems so that I wouldn't have such an unfair advantage against them.
At one point or another there was something important that I had to say regarding this post. I really like the tricks that my mind plays on me at 3am, working nights is the greatest thing on the planet next to actually sleeping.
My mind has been playing terrible tricks on me lately, waking me up after only getting 4 hours of sleep during the day. Telling me that I'm hungry when I'm really just tired. Its not fair.
I really should work on making a coherent entry at some point or another..... aaahhh screw it.

Can you tell... ?
That I'm bored at work? They say that sleep deprivation makes people go crazy. I'm almost willing to test that theory, the only point that I'm not looking forward to is the fact that I actually have to utilize part of my brain for my job. I only say part because most of the time I'm barely conscious while I look at the screen to begin with.
Its now 3:30am and I'm quite content with my progress to this point. I've had one can of RedBull and I'm not feeling the effect quite yet, maybe if I shotgun the other can I might be able to stay conscious on the way home in the morning. Although, I'm doing better than a colleague of mine who has been napping off and on for the better part of 45 minutes. For some reason I just can't bring myself to sleep at work, I'd end up snoring a lot.
... some other stuff happened.... your guess would be as good as mine as to what it was. For fun lets say it involved juggling, scissor kicks to the groin, swine, and automatic machinery reinvented. That could make for an interesting story if I had capable mental powers.
5:16am -- some of my coworkers are attempting to solve a problem concerning a dozen questions sent in by one particular user. I have knowledge in this particular area and have been speaking with them offering them suggestions and answers. There is one member of the team who I'm not sure really enjoys my involvement in answering questions of this nature as he has been deemed the expert in this area. Its kind of frustrating to see your answers fall on one set of deaf ears only to be systematically reworded and branded as a fresh new answer. I feel like I'm in marketing and a colleague just stole a pitch for a billion dollar ad campaign.... I should stop watching so many movies.
5:49am -- I have come to the realization that my previous statement regarding not sleeping at work is a total crock of sh*t. I'm just too proud to sleep at work thats it. Plain and simply put, damn me and my pride.... also, the aforementioned colleague who was napping is full on sleep at the moment complete with snoring sound effects. That reminds me of something that I heard on the radio this morning, did you realize that of the 4 people running around screaming in my mind at the moment, that there is only one of them who is capable of using a pen?

Let the mind f*ckery begin....
This is my first actual night shift while in posession of this bemusing site of wonderment that I call a 'blome' (my new made up word for 'blog home', and since thats not really a word either.... ). What I'm starting to say before being wildly interrupted by my other inner voice is that the writings here, however frequent tonight, may be a litle crazed and off topic. I've been awake for about 18 hours to this point and must survive another 6 hours of being awake and smarter than the people I talk to.
This should be entertaining considering I'm not feeling particularly smart at the moment.
Normally, I'd come up with some sort of creative musings about the world around me and how if you stare at the corners/sides of the monitor long enough you can actually see the refresh bar going down the screen. But none of that interests me at the moment, I'm more concerned with getting my eyes uncrossed and having some of the pain in my knee dissipate so that I can walk properly.
Again, with the wild tangents from my original topic, not that there was much of an original topic to begin with. Speaking of which, has anyone seen my orange?
By the way, if you see my friend Denise can you tell her that I'm mad a her for thinking about going away for work before I can get a chance to go home and see her for the first time in 10 years. It would be nice if everyone could gang up on her... I'd give you her email address but its too complicated for my mind at this stage in the game...

What the F....
cuk!?
I opened my eyes this morning after my nice refreshing sleep, I glanced over at the clock to see what time it was. To my utter horror I had discovered that time is mocking me. Every now and then, without realizing it, Mother Nature and Father Time get together to frolic in the bushes. When they do that the whole world goes to hell. Disco? Their fault. 80s Hair bands? Their fault. My last girlfriend? Their fault.
If you notice any bizarre occurrences happening in your life, things that normally otherwise wouldn't happen. For example, a lapse in judgment causes you to buy purple socks to go with your brown pants, something that you normally wouldn't do; you can totally blame that on their fornication.
Back to this morning. What I discovered this morning was that not only was I a little chilli, I also discovered that it was 6am and I was AWAKE. Normally, this is the time I get up when I go to work for 7. But today is a special day, it was my day off, and I'm up!? How the hell did that happen? I lay there watching the ceiling, listening to the cats run around the apartment chasing each other, listening to the annoying clicking noise that the ceiling fan makes as it spins on it pre-determined cycle, and counting the minutes down until it was a reasonable time for me to get up. One last look, after what seemed to be an eternity, to check my progress is when it happens. I glance over and see 5:58. What the hell!? Time didn't go backwards did it. I squint my eyes hard and try to focus on the the digits. To my relief Father Time had finished in just enough time to set the correct time, it was really 6:12. Phew. I still had a lot of time to go.... and many more annoying things to listen to.
