Procrastinating

Well, I'm here looking to procrastinate a little from doing the more important activity of studying. Today has not been much of a study day anyway. Filled with chores and such. You know - that living thing. There was no studying yesterday either. See these wayward travelers from Finland are here again assisting us [at work] in commissioning this new tool. They have been here since Tuesday and will leave Tuesday morning. There have been a number of problems for which most have been worked through. We worked all day yesterday. From 8:30 to 7:30. And no lunch break for me. Total disaster I tell you. If you are like me, food MUST happen on a regular basis. There is flexibility on the specific time that that happens, but it must happen several times a day. Oh well - I lived. Very nice people I tell you. I think I may have angered them in doing something earlier than expected yesterday. High probability that it was a communication misunderstanding. Disappointed I am, but oh well. Things worked out.

I'm listing to a radio program that just ended called The Prairie Home Companion on the local Public Radio station. The host was telling a story [unknown if it is true or fictitious] about a couple at an airport in which the husband was preparing to fly to visit the wives sister. An argument broke out regarding whether the husband was really looking forward to seeing her sister. The wife expected a truthful answer on the spot. The announcer inserted the following comment: [regarding relationships] from a mans perspective, seeking the truth is a lifelong quest. How funny - and probably rather truthful.

Well now time for little surprise. I almost didn't think I was going to be able to post this little tid-bit as I was having difficulty in signing in to Photobucket. Anyways, I stayed late to do a favor for a person at work on Thursday. When I showed up Friday morning . . .

THIS little surprise was on my desk.

How nice of him. First one to have done something like this. I've done many favors of this nature and most seem grateful on the one hand, but on the other hand, seems as if the mental attitude is like "about time" if you know what I mean. Again, a very nice gesture indeed.

Well, time to get back to it. I just finished some popcorn and will now down a half PB-n-J. Should set me up for the rest of the night. And if you are out there Chris, I got your phone message. Sorry I'm a bit reclusive at the moment. On the plus side, only two more weeks of regular classes and then finals. Will have finals on Monday and Friday the week of May 13. Both running from 7:30 - 9:30 . . . A.M. Dear God. Pray for me . . .

Sleeeeeeeep

Rock-a-bye, baby
In the treetop
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall
And down will come baby
Cradle and all . . .

Ten Hut SCHOOL BOY. No more SLACKEN! No more CRYEN! Get your SHIT in gear BOY. Programs to write, reports to write, mathematical pages to sleep, uhh, lull over. No caving in now SCHOOL BOY. Only a few short weeks to go. Fight off that BURN OUT boy.

It will soon be over.

IBS:
To quit is to admit defeat. Even in the face of adversity, move forward with conviction.

Tired

Hello there. Long time no speak, write, whatever - Well the little fuckers have evolved more.





When they fall off, hit the ground, then dry to a crisp, the good times will really roll. Well still very busy with work and school, although I did take a break last night. After work, I did homework for about an hour, then headed out to a bar for another Meetup event. My original plan (you can see where this is going, - right) was to head out for a couple of hours, then head home for the sack because I needed - note keyword, needed - to get up early this morning for for class. NOW! Fast forward to 4:30 am, yes, 4:30 am, hit the sack at some other persons house. Initially wake up just before 8, then passed out for another hour. I held up mentally pretty well this morning through class, but started a fast downhill slide after 3pm. This is a laundry weekend, so I bailed study for less mentally demanding activities.

Now here we are. Time to hit the sack early tonight and get back into the swing of things tomorrow. Watching Nascar racing on t.v. now. I've got a co-worker who is at the race in Phoenix. He's a real car racing buff. Hope he is having a good time.

As for me, time a little surfing then examine the back of my eyelids.

Good Night.
Mighty
