Another week gone by

Everyone loves the weekends. Time away from work and time spent doing things you really enjoy. Like anything but work....

Hard to believe the month is almost over. Next weekend is Halloween and soon the year will be over too. Already the commercials for "the holidays" are beginning to creep up. Great. The holidays. Again.

things are kinda slow at work so they're letting people take time off. i have friday and monday off. We're getting a new supervisor on the second of November. We'll see how long he/she lasts.

Two more weeks until Halloween

Another saturday night and here we are, it was a great morning because it was nice and chilly for a change. After running some errands, went to go get a haircut. Bought some baggies and candy for goodie bags to give to my friends at work. The rest of them can go to hell. I'm gonna make some cupcakes too.

Finally posted some pictures of the enrique iglesias concert. Yeah, after a year, but i was having some trouble with the software, so...they're on Facebook.

Time to start making plans for the holidays. At work we're gonna be off on Friday Dec 3 because of some upgrades they're making to the system. Maybe even half a day on Monday. They'll let us know by Sunday afternoon, we need to call first. Right now we're running a little slow on work, we just have the batches we need for the day and when the day is over, so is the work. But they refuse to send people home. I'd be the first to volunteer. i've got the seniority and the pto hours to cover. Friday they warned people who have 3 or more occurrences and i guess i'm not one of them. Evaluations are next month in time for the bonus (ha) and the raise that we get in january. we'll see how that goes.

no plans as of yet for tomorrow, we'll play it by ear.

Monday Blues

Today was one of those weird days when you can't really quite figure out your place in this world. Ever stopped what you were doing and just listen to what's going on around you? Well, the scary thing is that if you dropped off the face of the earth, life would still go on without you. Just a thought.

Autumn is in the air

Here it is, folks, autumn is in full bloom so to speak and it is wet and chilly outside. Went out to do some grocery shopping but came quickly back home to do some much needed chores.

Due to the heavy rain we've been getting, we've been blessed by a plentiful bounty of limes from our trees so i used some of the limes to make a couple of key lime pies. Gave one to Becky Johnson who shared it with Michael and Julie and we also gave out a baggie of limes to eat of them. Yesterday we got a banana nut cake from Michael and Julie and a salad from Becky. Gees, all i wanted was to share some of the bounty, not to be getting stuff back and forth. But since we still have some more limes, i got supplies to make a couple of more pies for our neighbors. Hey, we've been blessed, so...pass it along.

Man, Saturday night i could not sleep very well because of my allergies but last night wasn't too bad, at least i was able to get some much needed sleep.

Time to get started on my christmas shopping list, not too many, just a couple of people at work and immediate family.

Next month, on the day after Thanksgiving, Def Leppard and Cheap Trick will be here at the AT & T center and sylvia and i want to go. That'll be cool for sure.

Haven't been to the movies in a couple of weeks, maybe next weekend, to go see the new Gerard Butler movie LAW ABIDING CITIZEN. It looks interesting.
