I know, I know, I haven't posted anything in a while. Yes, a lot has happened but at the same time, not much has changed. I've moved out of my parents home, and into an apartment. My girlfriend and I are mostly settled in, though there are a few things we have yet to move. My work schedule just hasn't allowed it yet but hopefully soon.
Work sucks as work tends to do. The heat sucks, the rain sucks, the customers suck... all the usual.
Oddly enough I don't have all that much to say, which is why I haven't posted anything in a while. Oh well, thought I would let people know I was still alive. More when there is more.
Another year, and all that
Well, a few hours ago my 30th birthday ended. I am a 'thirtysomething' now. I'm even less able to get away with being 'silly' now or at least I will be when people realize how old I am. So far I've not managed to look much older than 25 but I'm sure that will end soon enough.
Oh well... this old body needs its sleep...

From the mouths of babes
My son just uttered the words 'I don't like cheese on my cheeseburgers'.
Why me?
Why me?
Weekends... wasted time?
I'm not sure why but it seems that no matter how much I look forward to the weekend, I never actually have reason to. Sure, it's a few days off from work; which with my job is a nice thing. I don't actually do anything though.
It's not as though that's abnormal for me. I haven't really done anything other than eat, work, sleep, repeat in a long time. Only when I go to see my girlfriend is that any different. I suppose it's logical to assume that when she moves down here, which she will be doing in a few weeks, that I'll actually get out and do things, but there's something in me that wonders about that. Am I really that boring that I can never think of anything to do or is it just that I don't like doing things alone that keeps me home all the time?
I really don't have much of an answer for that, though I suppose I'll find out very soon. I'd like to think that it's just my lack of companionship that keeps me homebound but I'm a little worried that I really am that boring.
Any thoughts? Or am I better off not knowing?

Getting out, going deaf
Ran into a guy I used to work with a few weeks ago and he invited me to see a showing of his art at a local café. I'd seen his stuff before and thought it might be cool to see what he had out on display.
Well, looking at what he's done over the last year I really think he has a future with his photography. His other work is quite good too but the way he sees life through a viewfinder is truly inspired.
Decided to stay a while and sample some of what the café had to offer. Why I picked cheesecake I don't know but it's actually quite good. Starting to think that maybe I've just had bad cheesecake in the past.
Wish I could say the same for the band though. Now it isn't so much their playing ability as it is their total lack of understanding of the size of the room they are playing. Amps were not needed.
Did get to meet up with the guy whose work I'm here to see, so all is not lost. Except maybe my hearing.
Suppose I should wrap this up, finish my cake, and get going. Bad Christian music is one thing, really loud bad Christian music is quite another.

A few days off
It's the end of day two of my three days off. I suppose I should enjoy it while it lasts as starting May I only get two days off. I kind of feel as though I've waisted these last two days, though. Just sat around and more or less did nothing.
It's time I crawled in bed, though, I suppose. Else I'll never be able to get up early enough to get on schedule for Wednesday. So g'night world, I'll catch you later.

Been a long time
A lot has happened since my last entry but at the same time, things are pretty much the same.
I finished the formal training at work and come Wednesday I'll be set lose upon the world with nothing more than a ladder, a bag of tools, and a head full of things that made sense when I was in class.
I'm currently in NY spending the weekend with my girlfriend. Apparently, I was actually supposed to start my new shift Saturday but do to some communications problems I wasn't aware of that until I was halfway through Pennsylvania. Since I wasn't the only one that was under that impression (which I was under because I was told that by one of the training supervisors) the only repercussion will be that I'll be short a day on my next cheque. Not great but a lot better than it could be.
I think I'm going to start looking for something to eat now. Didn't have much for breakfast, and I'm starting to feel a little icky.
Later...
