New Post

This past Friday I started feeling sick. I have this horrible cough and my sinuses are all jacked up, and then this morning my voice sounds like a bullfrog. I know. It's weird. Every time I try to talk you start feeling like you're in the swamp. Anyway. To go along with this lingering cold, if that's what you want to call it, I told some of the guys from lifegroup that I'd meet them at Jim's aka an even cheaper form of Denny's. I get up early, get ready and head out. My voice was horrible this morning, but I figured like yesterday, the frog thing would eventually go away. Well not so much. I get done with the guys and go back home to get ready for work, just hoping I'll feel better. Blah, blah, blah more rambling, drive to work, clock in an hour passes, now we are caught up. I just keep coughing all over the place, my voice is jacked up, so I go and talk to the supervisor and let her know that I'm sick. I explained that I knew it was my first week on the floor and that I was horrendously sorry for having to go home sick, but you know, for the good of everyone else I should not stick around and spread my germs. With the look I got and the snide remark from her, I should have stuck around and coughed all day in her direction. Eventually I spoke to the head manager and she let me go. She even switched around me schedule so I can make up my hours on my scheduled day off(Thursday). Long story, not so short, I really hope I am better by tomorrow so I don't get fired from this sweet temp job. I mean really.
OK, so in other news, did y'all catch the Academy Awards last night? You didn't? Nah, me either. But you'd think they were a big deal, considering even the talk news guys were going off about it. I mean really?

I Passed!

It's been a long hard road. Stress, fatigue and worry have racked my mind for a grueling week. I have endured listening to more unprofessional conversations and sad ghetto stories to last at least 1 lifetime, and maybe an eternity. Yet through it all I buckled down and passed the excruciatingly difficult test to become a brand new temporary ILD customer service representative. I have never in my life felt more successful or challenged. What a happy day!
On a side note I'm thinking to myself, How long can I keep up this sarcastic tone?
Well it's over. Now I will just say that I have one full week of work and then we get to come/go see Z&B&E! I haven't been this stoked since.......well....... I don't know. Maybe since moving back to the motherland. Anyway, I'm stoked and that about it.






This is lamp. I love lamp.

To be a working bum

I went to work. It was not fun. It was work. What did I expect? Hilarity, excitement, a good time had by all? Crazy!

So what else do you want to know? The West won the NBA All Star game. Charles Barkley beat the old referee. I still can't stand Dwayne Wade or LeBron James. I wish I actually still golfed. The Dallas Mavericks are still the best team in recent history. I live in Texas. So does the maker of the best roast in all time history. I really love my family. It's not cold outside. Although I wish I was cold, but night skiing at Shasta. My niece is due in mere days, hopefully. Being late though in this case would be okay with me, probably not so much for her mom. I love you anyway Marla. Bean my wife, is still the coolest person I know. And the most studly.

Not sure what other random thoughts may come out of my brain, but maybe I'll make that my new theme of my blog. Oh the randomness that would ensue.

Stinkin Titles

Really. I mean, who really needs a title. At some point I am going to run out of titles to begin my blog. And today is the day.
So I got another temp job. I'm very very excited about this one. It should actually be the best job in the history of the "American Dream". There should be an advertisement for immigrants. Hey you, no the other guy, Hey, Come to America and you can have this sweet job. No more back breaking work. No more callouses, no more early mornings. Yeah, come answer the telephone and we will pay you money. Sound to good to be true? It isn't, yes folks this is the American Dream.

Okay, okay, I'm being just a bit sarcastic, but what can you do. I have to leave soon, so maybe I'll post some more about my day after I have my day.

Oh yeah, we're back from Dallas. It was fun. I ate tons of roast. Nanny is the bombdiggity. Yup you heard it here first. BOMBDIGGITY.

Kayla and her dang sandwiches

Or should I just say, I'm hungry. This past Sunday we went to Firehouse Subs with some homies from church. I had this corned beef and pastrami sandwich, something to do with New York. I can't remember exactly the name but New York and (insert Homer Simpson hmmm gooooood line here). Anyway, instead of enjoying a tasty sandwich, I shall cook up one of creations finest pizzas. Delivery you ask? Nope, and it's not Digiorno either. Freschetta, Red Baron, Tombstone? Nope, none of the above. Oh Totinos you ask? Nope. Have you got it now? Yes, I have stepped down the ladder to everyone's favorite, Jeno's. Oh man, my stomach is turning..... uh growling for the scrumpiousness of the best 79 cent pizza on the planet. Only five minutes until it's ready.

Oh and could you tell, I'm bored and jobless again. I just realized that my posts are most insightful and wise when I'm unemployed. Ok that joke would only be funny if my blog actually was insightful and wise at other times. Riiigghhtt. So anyway, I'm going to go eat my pizza, hopefully talk to some folks about getting a job and then probably do absolutely nothing.

You talkin' to me?

Anybody watch the Pro Bowl? Yeah, me either. It seems that back in the day All Star games were cool, and now, not so much. For me, it used to be that all us friends from the neighborhood would throw and Super Bowl party with tons of bulk candy from Giant and then a Pro Bowl party the next weekend. And I'd always root for the NFC because that's who the 49ers belong to. And now, my niners stink so there's no shot at the Super Bowl and seeing as I'm only a fair weather fan, I haven't followed the niners since Steve Young retired, there's no point in watching the Pro Bowl. Man that was a ridiculously long sentence.
Anyway. Am I the only one that thinks the Pro Bowl is useless? Ok, now tell me who watches the NBA All Star game? Seeing how I find that the NBA has gone down hill ever since Larry Bird and Jordan retired I don't really care about watching the All Star game. That and all the new players seems to have egos entirely too large for how good they are, or not good. I mean, they are obviously talented as they are in the NBA, but until they play for ten or more seasons with good averages consistently, they need to settle down. LeBron, Carmello, Dwayne "Flash" Wade, ring any bells. That's enough ranting for now, considering the majority of folks that read this blog don't watch sports.... You can just tell me how incredibly studly I am and how you wish you could grow a sweet mullet like me, what!?

I'm out of work... again

So today, my boss Ande told us the great news that Aetna would be cancelling the rest of our contract, so we would be let go today instead of Friday. WHOOPEE..... or not so much. I called the temp agency yesterday to start hooking me up, but they said they don't have anything presently. What a surprise. Luis, one of the guys I worked with at Aetna, said his agency has some openings with AT&T, so I'm gonna try to hook that up tomorrow.
In other news if you didn't see American Idol tonight you missed the most hilarious moment all season. If I can find a clip I'll have to post it on here.
And for the record I would like to say that the Dallas Mavericks are the best team in the NBA still and the Phoenix Suns are slipping. And to think Josh Howard didn't make it to the All-Star game. Appalling.
