The archive is done

Well I finished getting all the myspace blogs over. All of the blogs I transferred today were more recent. I of course read each of them as I posted and realized this year has been something else so far. I saw a lot of issues that I seem to have resolved, as well as a couple that haven't quite found a resolution and more than likely never will because of their nature. Brought back some old feelings and made me have some new ones as well. This was an interesting project for me because I started blogging when I left Thomas and I was nothing but a ball of hurt and anger. As I read and re-posted I watched them change from that anger, to happiness to a little bit of confusion and then back to happy again. I just sat here and took the time to feel it all and be happy with what I found. This has been a busy week full of resolution and new open doors that will keep me wondering about things that I took action on and things I didn't act on and what may have happened.

So in any case, if you get bored..and I mean bored you can go over there and read those and see that change as well.

Finally Some time outside

I haven't been hiking in forever! SO I jumped at the chance to go on a hike with a friend. Erik and I went to Muller State Park for a 4 hour hike. The entire point was to see the aspen change and we were not disappointed. I came home with more than 100 photos(which I will load into the album when I am done). Our boys had a great time, and overall I have to say I feel pretty refreshed.

No more "and then".....AND THEEENNNNNN.......

Well, I had a call tonite that lasted 55 minutes. I wanted to hang myself. It started out at a MAYBE 7ish minute call. At about midnite I hear, "beeeeeeep, Suncom tech support" that means someone from the Carolina's is calling, they used to be Suncom customers, but we recently took them over. The Carolina's are 2 hours ahead, so this means its about 2am there. Just remember that. We always make fun of the people calling from out there. I mean do these people sleep,or do they have nothing better to do than call us? Well tonite, it truly was outta boredom. Valerie had called because she was getting phone calls in the middle of the nite from some women insisting she had the right number. Well lucky for Valerie she owns a phone that has a block list. This list keeps people from being able to call her. Well she wanted to know how to get this number on this list because this is a new phone. No problem, quick fix. NOT. I got that problem taken care of, here's what I hear next,"oh sweetie AND THEN I have a question about........" So I helped her. "AND THEN......." I helped her....."AND THEN........." I helped her. Every time she said "AND THEN" I pressed the mute key and said," NO MORE AND THEN!!!" But it continued. I went thru every option in her damn phone with her. It was unbelievable. I could not get rid of this women. She had nothing better to do than to talk to me because she got woken up. Nice women don't get me wrong,but holy cow I cant believe how long it took me to close that call, "AND THEN........." sorry if you don't get the whole "and then"thing. Im not gonna explain it. If you understand, you totally laughed. goodnite........no more and then I swear.

It's been months

Literally, months. I think the last time I did it was like April/May. I have no idea how I have gone so long without having a terrible outcome!! Ok ya maybe I am over reacting, but I really need to do it more often. Lucky for me the water in the tank tested out just fine.......Wait...what were you thinking about? LOL.

Anyways, I finally took sometime out today to do some cleaning and maintenance on the tank. It was a mess and I am still not done. Since the skimmer started being moody and all I finally broke down and got some filter media and started a new system to keep the water clean. Hopefully it works until I can fork over 200 bucks to get a decent skimmer.

Damn thing needs another new bulb and some new snails to help combat the algae problem I am having. The new filter will help that too. Remove all the excess crud in the water that feeds the nasty algae. But in any case, Ill get some new photos over on the site soon.

Dreams

So dreaming is a sign if getting good sleep. We dream during REM sleep. Every now and then I have a dream I can remember and usually they are silly or make no sense. Its been a VERY long time since I had one that was disturbing. And I mean I wake up thinking "What the fuck was that about"

Hello nap time on Tuesday afternoon. I woke up. I have never been so shocked at a dream. This is an adult orientated dream and I really do need therapy now. No Joke.

Ok, so I was dreaming that I was back in training class for Tmobile, but class was more like a boot camp that we had to stay at. We all had bunks and what not. Well we were done for the day and we had all gone back to these rooms that we all shared. For what ever reason me and one of the guys from this class apparently had a thing going on. (don't ask as I do not have a thing for this guy) SOOOOOOOOO.........we were laying on the bed messing around and I went under the covers to do whatever when I realized that this guy was man/women. Serious. Had both parts. Somehow it went from that moment to some basement where it was then explained the he had started as a she and was going thru the change and it was just weird.

So for real I am disturbed. The guy in the dream stopped by my desk to say hey today and I couldn't even look at him. I'm very very disturbed. I'm scarred for life. I don't ever want to see that image in my head again.
See I told you it was weird.

Soda

I just ate a bunch of goldfish crackers. Now I really want a soda. Problem is, I don't buy soda and that means I don't have any to drink. I would have to go out to my car and get the half bottle of coke from yesterday that is all warm and gross. I dont really want to do that. Aiden is already in bed so I cant really run out to get one. All I have is grape juice, water and beer. Ive already tried the beer. Not working for me tonite. I hate grape juice and water isn't soda. So what the heck am I supposed to do!?

Take a shower and play WoW. Maybe that will make the crazy idea of soda go away. Wish me luck.

Week One

Its the end of week one on my new team and shift at work. It went very well and I love the shift. I was worried about it there for a while, but it's turning out to be OK. I have Aiden so much more and yet I am still maintaining a good amount of time for myself. The callers are different at nite too. I like that.

The other fun thing that happened this week, my purple pseudo chromis committed suicide. She jumped out of the tank and I found here dead on the floor early Friday morning.

Sorry this isn't more exciting, but I'm working up to it. SMILE

This was a VERY well written

I just wanted to share this article I read today. It was very well written and I throughly enjoyed it.

Graduation Day

Well I have finished 8 weeks of training. I am still functioning and I cannot believe it has really been 8 weeks. I wish I could sit here and write some kind of inspirational blog, but I guess I am still in shock that its already September and that its actually cold out there tonite. Its kinda weird to me right now.

I feel really proud of myself for making it and not hating it. I was worried that I would. But you guys know I like to talk on the phone. So it is truly a good fit for me. I got a couple awards today. One for perfect attendance and one for the lowest hold time. That was cool.

I guess right now its almost a bittersweet moment.

When you find something good.......

.........it leaves.

Allie and I are talking about men. We decided when you find a good one, he gets up and leaves.

Not as in break up, but actually leaves. What gives.

I got into the range for free

Not that the free part is the high lite of the day, but it was pretty awesome.

I went over to Dragon Man's today to shoot my gun. First time I have ever shot a gun and I was at least thrilled that is was my own. I get down there, the "No Fire" flag was up and everyone was putting up their targets. I'm looking at mine that is set about 25-30 feet away thinking this is gonna be totally easy, it's so close. It just don't work that way. I get three shots in, not a single one hits the target and my gun stops shooting. I open it up and look inside to see a bullet in the chamber, one piggy backed on that and then the one in the clip. Well shit. So I lock the slide open and wonder on down to a group of guys to my left and tell them this was my first time I have ever shot a gun and I ht think something is wrong with mine cause there appears to be a jumbled mess. SO one of the guys offered to come take a look. Confirmed that I did indeed have a mess and then showed me how easy it was to fix. For about the next 45ish minutes he stood there with me and taught me how to shoot my gun, how to use the sights, how to hold it, gun safety and while that was going on was also teaching me about how mine worked. Somewhere half way through this little lesson I had thanked him for taking time out to show me and he says, "oh I have no problem coming over here and helping a pretty women."

I was there for 2 hours and after that initial lesson he came back to check on me and make sure I was doing well. I guess people him who randomly take time to help others is why I haven't lost all faith in humanity just yet...and also maybe because he was very easy on the eyes.
