Well folks Im sitting here with only 4 hours of sleep last night.... but the stairs have 2 coats of sealer on them.... yeah work.... well there is only 48 hours left in the count down till it opens... and I might work 1/2 of those hours....I started yesterday by opening the joint up at 5:00 am... and I sent the last of the crew home @ 8:30 pm then it only took me a few hours to finish the sealer.... I am not whining... I have been in high speed mode for 6 months.... and I think I have had 7 or 8 days off in the last 2 months.... after today there is only 1 more left till I get back to a normal life.... I hope....

oops....

Well if it matters to anyone.... the forum database is dorked... the most recent backup I have is 151 MB but the recent downloaded one is only 8 MB and the backups offered are only 53 MB.... needless to say this blows.... I started a support ticket.... god only knows why... this host makes any support into a nightmare... ohhhh did I mention I cant update the backup? for some reason it doesnt work.... fun huh?

Time to say DOH!!

a new day dawns....

yesterday was a little bleak..... my job is wearing me down.... and in all honestly I did error yesterday.... the mistake could have become major... but it didnt.... either way I am proud the 16 others I work with in the last year have not made a single mistake... I have made every mistake the "MAN" has heard about or knows about....and I am not hiding a single thing.... I guess being proud about this deal is something I alone can enjoy.... usually in construction blame is an easy card to play... I have stopped every play that points to anyone but me... weird but it fits my management style.... today started bad.... but got better all day long.... I guess I need to go to bed before something bad happens... work problems have sorted them selves out for the moment.... Im sure that will change in the morning.... I was spost to go to jury duty tomorrow so I had a nice breakfast planed... then 2 books to read... no phone calls.... all the stuff of a nice day.... when I got home I called and sure enough I am excused tomorrow....then I get a call from an ol buddy.... I offered him a job and he laffed at me.... then he offered me a job with a $12 per hour raise.... when I told the wife, she asked when Im leaving....dunno.... maybe when I checked my email can ya believe it... the young lady that arranged my present contract agreed that 12 months does not equal 5 years and fixed the shortfall.... so all in all things are a lot nicer tonight.... it is funny how it gets better all alone... with little or no effort....

It is hard to give up....

Recently the host here decided parts of the 5 year plan only last 12 months... and since the time runs out june 2 they have decided the person to resolve this will get back to me no later than may 29th.... I guess I should wait.... I mean if they wait till the last minute it can only work for them... which brings me to the point.... I havent used the recourse they say I need to renew... but damn I have an email that says it is paid for.... they are wrong.... and the point is.... who cares.... I should just drop it... it doesnt mean a thing.... I am having trouble finding the effort to care... In fact this whole web thingie seems to have out lived it's usefulness... I keep telling myself work is the reason I dont do mare... and work is by far the hardest it has been in years... WOW after reading this I see why I dont [post more often.... I dont have anything to say.... a couple whines.... but little or no content....

I guess I have to say something....

Tonight I went to a grocery store I have been going to for 30 years... way back when there was no noticeable racial diversity... in the old days there were 4 doors into the store.... one from the restaurant ... from the garden shop... and then the east and west entrances.... these days there is only the one door... but tonight what made it special for me is in under 15 minutes in store I heard 4 languages.... english... farsi... something asian .... and dine'.... it was kinda funny no spanish... either way with all this new fangled stuff the store has no restaurant... no garden shop.... and only 1 door.... but it does have a phoenix police office stationed at the door... w0w.... is that progress or what.... I wasnt going to mention this.... until the first link I found after coming home was this...I do think the link is a little bit lower down than I usually praise.... and that folks ends my latest set of gripes....

Some days are harder than others.....

today was a less than nice one.... it is kinda funny how they can change in a short period of time.... 1179 days to go..... that sorta puts thing in a different light... I hope!

rich people....

Today I met 2 young couples.... their names dont matter... they just happen to be the richest folks I have met in a long time... these 2 married couples donate 1 saturday a month to something.... the one young lady said they look for something interesting to do one day a month.... she also say they had dont nearly everything on this list already... notice the list has several pages.... but from my point of view they folks were so well off they could give 1 day in 30 to help the others in their city makes me think how poor I am and how rich they are... today they cleaned bricks for the CMOP... they were nice and well educated ... which makes them the richest folks I have had the pleasure of meeting in a long time....
