Late Day

I’m going in late today. A few weeks ago it was decided that the districts and divisions needed to start working some evening shifts, which is actually a pretty good thing. It allows us to do a bit of training with some folks that don’t normally work with us. It also allows me to sleep…Read more

Untitled post

RePete wasn’t feeling very well today apparently. The wife called me at 11 and asked me if I could go pick her up from school. She seems fine to me but she normally doesn’t complain and spent most of the morning in the teacher’s lap. We have just sort of hung out today. We came…Read more

Wordless Wednesday

Not much to say for this one except that she was glad to see her boy… Took this one on Family Day when we drove up to Parris Island

School Supplies and Other Useless Crap

Back in August we went and did the yearly thing spending a small fortune on school supplies. Pens, pencils, paper and notebooks and as usual we had to send all of it in at one time. This is supposed to be the supplies for the entire year. Jump forward to today, two months later. I…Read more

Too Drunk to ????

It’s definitely weird to try and write after several beers. Thank goodness for the spell-checking plugin I use with Firefox. We’ve had a pretty good time a the Marine’s going away party. As much as I talk about beer, I am actually pretty much a lightweight. I am on my 6th or 7th beer and…Read more

Where Does The Time Go?

I think I found exactly what I need to get for the older girl for stocking stuffers this year. She recently got her ears re-pierced and has been doing a pretty good job at taking care of them, so I am sure that we will get her some ear-rings, particularly since she has started looking…Read more

Pulling My Hair Out…

…what little I have left anyway. Unfortunately I have meetings all afternoon. Once a year we have a big ‘town hall’ meeting for the management in the Atlanta area. In the past it’s been at the Galleria but this year I think they needed a bigger venue are we have to drive down to the…Read more

Cell Phones, Wal-Mart, Dog Food…This Ain’t My Shopping List…

Yesterday afternoon I ran out to the local Wal-Mart to get stuff for hamburgers. The girls had company coming for supper and I try to only make them eat dog food when their friends aren’t around so as to avoid answering sticky questions. Get them ready for old age a bit early and all that….Read more

The Crucible

Man, that Luna moth this morning was cool. The photos were just taken with my phone and sent to Flickr. I think I have one more I need to email myself and then post later this afternoon. Today was a pretty uneventful day at work. I cooked all day and then hit the door right…Read more

Nothing…

Yeah, that’s pretty much all I’ve got this morning. I just woke up a couple of minutes ago and here I am sipping coffee trying to wake up an hour late. The good thing is that I don’t have any managers off today so I can roll in right at 7 and it won’t be…Read more
