What a crock of crap. The alarm sounded at 7:00 and it could not be ignored. I thought about getting in a quick work out but decided to lie in bed watching Imus in the Morning until 7:30. This caused me to switch into overdrive with the shower and application of Gold Bond Nut Powder.
If my life didn’t mimic George Constanza’s enough, my first day at work was surreal. When I arrived, I was told my boss was out of town this week. They gave me the big office with my own bathroom. I was just waiting for someone to plop the Penske file in front of me.
I was asked to follow up on some quotes sent out recently. Recently meaning 2004. I spoke with one person all day and they informed me they had bought the same software from another vendor. Sweet.
I can’t even begin to explain the commute. 50 minutes there and 55 home. Why do people turn into Dale Earnhardt, Jr. in the morning? I found myself chasing cars that cut me off only to find the occupants to be gang bangers who probably had been up all night committing car jackings. On each occasion, I flipped them The Van Buren Boys gang sign and dropped back into traffic at a comfortable 60 MPH.
If today was any indication of days to come, I am going to be pushed to my limits. I made a personal goal to make it at least through the Festivus Holiday.
Enough complaining (for today), there were some serious news stories on the wire today. For example, Al-Qaeda in Iraq already named a successor to Abu Musab Zarqawi. I just hope the Al-Qaeda congress can get a quick up and down vote without stringing this process out too long. I’m sure the new guy is eager to kill innocent civilians but there’s always going to be a loose cannon insurgent who wants to hear his stance on global warming.
Do you think there are two mothers of insurgents having coffee in a Baghdad cafe, sharing photos of their sons? I can picture one of them gazing at her friend’s pictures, shaking her head and saying, “Boy, they sure blow up fast.”
Be sure to check out the updated Photos page. Click on the thumbnails and the picture should load. Don’t get alarmed if it seems extremely large at first. Once it is fully loaded, it will re-size to your screen. I could probably find a way to fix this but I’m not Bill Gates and don’t have the time anymore to figure it out. Imagine what I could do with no job and Photoshop.
By the way, my emachine windows 98 is running out of memory with all of the pictures. You can help by donating a new Dell Computer from my Sponsorships page.
I don’t want to work. I just want to bang on the drum all day.
