Winter Storm

So Mother Nature isn’t going to let me travel with ease to the airport tomorrow morning.  We have a Winter Storm moving in.  Right now it’s just rain and it’s been going for hours.  Tonight the temperatures' drop to a low of 19 degrees. So all of that rain will be ice.  Then we are supposed to get some sleet and snow on top of it.  About 2 inches of total accumulation is expected.  Sure wish I wasn’t leaving until Monday now.  :(

Friday I worked a 1/2 day in the office.  Got all of my loose ends tied up and cleaned up the old e-mail IN BOX so that I wouldn’t come back to a nightmare.  I will try to manage e-mail as best as I can when I’m on the road.  It’s not a high priority for me and some things just have to wait until you get back. 

When I left work on Friday I headed to get my car washed.  I had a code that was going to expire, so I went to use it and the machine told me it had already been used.  Well how do I refute that?  I mean I had the receipt but I can’t prove I didn’t use it.  So there was $9 down the drain.  So I paid another $9 to get my car washed.  Everything started out fine and then in the middle of the wash, the robot decided to stop working, the door went up and it told me to leave while it was just pouring water.  It quit just before it applied the wax and Rain X.  I was tired and didn’t feel like arguing, so I just went home.  I wanted to sleep.  That happened for about 10 minutes and then it was time to go out for supper.

I started to head for the pie place, but then I thought about all of the work I had to do and changed course.  We went to a local place, it was just okay.  I liked my desert better than my meal.  Back home.

I at least started on laundry.  I had some computer problems of my own.  I noticed for a while that videos don’t play back right regardless if they are from YouTube or something stored on my machine.  So I thought video card driver.  I updated it and the videos play great now.  But my machine freezes up when I am away from it.  I fixed that by removing the drivers, rebooting and then installing the update.  That worked for a solid week.  Friday when I went to remote in from work, I couldn’t connect.  When I came home I found my machine frozen again.  It’s been fine ever since the reboot but I don’t want to take a chance since I am going on the road, so I have a scheduled task that will reboot the machine every day at 4 am.  That should hopefully keep things cleared up or so I hope.

After I was done with that, I went out for a haircut, the line was HUGE.  About an hour later, I got home and had to remote in to look at a machine.  It’s a case of PC Envy.  I got one person a new machine, so their neighbor now wants a new machine and every time her machine hiccups she calls me.  I got a voice mail on Friday afternoon that said since I can’t reach you, I am going home that is if I can turn off my computer.  Really?  If you remove the power source the machine won’t keep running.  If it does then I would get the hell out of Dodge and fast!  Needless to say I didn’t find a damn thing wrong with it.  It’s only 3 years old, running XP but it’s still good.  The BIOS hadn’t been updated and I found a Chipset Driver as well, so I updated them.  Scanned for Viruses and Spyware nothing found.  The hard drive was a little fragmented, so I defragged it.  The machine performed fine for me.  Hopefully, I don’t hear anything further from this person, at least hopefully not next week.  I don’t have time for crazy, silly or bullshit.  I’m on a tight deadline to complete a project. 

After all that I was just tired and wanted to go to bed.  I did a little self pleasuring and yup it was time for bed.  Slept in until 8 this morning.  Fed the kids and we got a move on.  We hit the baker shop, Waffle House and then had to swing by the office.  I realized I forgot 2 things.  Then back home and we made it here by 11am.  Then it was time for a nap that lasted until 1.  Then on to the grocery store, where my partner conveniently forgot his wallet.  So I was stuck paying for grocery's that I hadn’t planned on paying for.  Back home in the rain.  Put the grocery’s away.  Then back to laundry and that damn machine.  We just went to supper and here I am again, laundry time.  Then I have to clean the house, put out my medicine and get the trash out and pack.  After that I am going to rest.

I have my boarding passes all printed.  I decided to turn on 2 sided printing, because normally you get your boarding pass, the weather, airport tips and Sudoku puzzles.  Yeah, bad move.  It printed both boarding passes (it’s a connecting flight) on the same sheet of paper, then after that is when I got all of the crap.  Other airlines let you print your pass multiple times, not this one.  It was a one shot deal. I wouldn’t worry except that normally when you check in at the gate, they rip the pass in half.  So to cover myself, I made a photo copy so I should be safe. 

I’ve got to burn a couple music CD’s for the road, you know my 3 hour drive on Wednesday.  Yeah that aught to be a good time.  Plus this time I am taking my own USB drive with porn on it.  That way if my computer at home decides to freeze up, at least I won’t be out of luck! 

The weather at my destination will be rain all week long until I leave on Friday then the sun comes out.  At least it will be in the 50’s, which shouldn’t be too bad.  Beats the weather they are going to have to deal with here.  I just hope there aren’t any weather issues getting me there or getting me back home.  Not looking forward to next Saturday that much, I have to visit the dentist to get drilled and not in a good way.  I do know once I get back I will be able to breath easier.  Right now I am nervous wreck.  1 2 3 4 Pressure!

If I am not too worn out, tomorrow night I will put up a post at least letting you know I made it.  After tomorrow night I am not sure what my evenings will be like, it depends a lot on how well things go.  Considering I’ve done this multiple times and have different tricks, I am hoping we get done in one day.  We did at the last place, but I had a team of 2 guys doing the hard part.  Not sure what kind of guys I will be working with but hopefully they will be good.  They don’t have to look good, just know how to do their part of the job and I should be fine. 

The best part of the day was at the grocery store where I saw Taylor Lautner Shirtless.  Here’s a photo…

Well time for me to get a move on or nothing will get done at all.  Talk with you peeps later. 

Middle of the week

Little shy girl is back to normal.  She was next to me last night at supper time.  I was eating left over pizza so she got nothing.  However, she begged like no tomorrow.

I was so dead tired last night.  I wanted to go straight to bed but knew that I wouldn’t sleep through the night so I stayed awake until 10ish and then called it a night.  The 2 boys and I headed for dreamland.  I didn’t sleep the entire night but what sleep I got feels good.  Wish I could get more right about now. 

Work has been a crazy day so far.  Phone calls and e-mails flying.  Thankfully it’s calmed down now.  I hope I can meet my goal of getting 2 machines out today, as I promised.  I have another 2 to deliver to a local facility but I’m saving that for either Thursday or Friday.  Shooting for Thursday afternoon right now, but no one knows that.  I figure my travel arrangements won’t come through until Friday.

Supper tonight will be semi-homemade soup.  We bought a mix from the store, my guy cut up left overs from a roast and threw it in.  So it’s supposed to be like a Vegetable Beef.  Looked good last night but I was all set for pizza.  Right now what I really want is Lasagna.  That sounds so good to me. 

Travel arrangements are made.  I will be flying all over the East Coast on Sunday.  I originally was scheduled for Monday but had them change it because the first place I am going has several computers with problems.  Might as well gain as much time as I can.  The strange part is the travel agent changed the flight but forgot to change the car reservation to Sunday.  Thankfully Hertz allows you to make changes on line, regardless of who booked the reservation.  I upgraded to an Impala it was $8 more and added in GPS.  Might as well be comfy, considering on Wednesday I will have a 3 hour drive on my hands. 

The best part is that I only have to work a 1/2 day on Friday since I am leaving on Sunday.  I also get back pretty early in the afternoon the following Friday.  So it will be like plenty of extra weekend time.  That is nice.  Now if the trip were just over I would be so much happier. 

I’ve got to burn some Music CD’s so I will have something to listen to when I’m driving.  There is no shortage of driving.  I don’t know why I get so worked up before I travel but I just do.  I know that everything will fall in place, as it always does.  God be with me!

I’m sitting here at home patching servers at work with Windows Updates.  My iPhone seems to have more updates than Windows.  Everyday it’s one application or another. 

Soon it will be time for my nightly wind down routine.  I’m still hungry but really don’t need to eat anymore.  I am also very tired.  I did live up to my goal for today and got both of those machines out.  My office is starting to look more normal.

Tomorrow I will be headed to a local place to install two machines.  I called to let one of the people know I was coming.  I found out that she was terminated.  Really?  Yup.  I got her access shutdown but damn no one communicates.  I bet the first time someone does something malicious that costs them money they will start communication.  Come to think of it, that’s already happened.  I guess they will never learn!

So that’s my two cents for today.  Talk with you peeps later.

The Dust Buster

Here we are Tuesday.  I woke up in the middle of the night and one of the girls wanted to sleep with me.  I shouldn’t have let her in but I did.  I spent the next 3 hours with 2 cat in a twin bed.  How much sleep do you think I got?  Right, I’m tired this morning.

I noticed that our shy girl was missing this morning.  I kept calling her but she never answered.  I found her in the basement.  She looks like she is sick, so I told her she could stay home from school today.  I hope that she decides to start eating.  Having so many of the little furry creatures, it always appears to be something with one of them.

Big Boy made a mess on the carpet last night.  So I was late in getting to bed.  I don’t see a reason to clean the carpet anymore.  I get it all clean and the other residents mess it up.  I’m the neat one.  Although last night I did make my guy Carmel Corn and made a mess in the microwave.  The difference is I got it cleaned up right away.

Checked in @ home @ lunch time and our shy little girl hasn’t surfaced.  I suspect she is still in the basement.  Perhaps when I get home tonight I will have some better news on her. 

I’ll bet your just dying to know what is for supper.  Tonight left overs.  Pizza for me.  Ribs for my guy.  Should be quick and hopefully delicious.  We have to work on clearing the fridge out, way too much stuff gets thrown away.

I decided about my travel arrangements to just let the cards fall where they may.  I asked for the arrangements to be made and said I would be going next week.  Now I will have to wait and see what they come up with before I can book hotels.  Hopefully they don’t wait until Friday to spring everything on me.  I hate last minute notification.

I am sitting here at my desk, all horned up.  Funny thing is when I get home I will be so tired that all I will want to do is collapse.  You never think your priorities will change but age has a way of changing everything!

I’m working on the dust buster machine from yesterday.  It sounded horrible, got that fixed with some air and thermal grease.  The fan was working overtime.  The machine is old but still viable to use.  So I am working on cleaning it up.  It was infected with Mal and Spyware as well as a virus.  I’ve got my final scan going on now and I’m also running Windows Update.  It’s running Windows XP, which really takes me back.  Lots of business environments still have XP and Vista.  However, the primary OS is Windows 7. 

Speaking of computers, I heard over the weekend that the DOD (Department of Defense) has placed an order with Microsoft to upgrade to Windows 8.  Yeah, really.  I wonder what they are thinking.  I used it for about 15 minutes and was ready to scream.  You can get it back to feel like Windows 7 by purchasing an add on, but why even bother.  It’s just not an OS to be used for business.  Hmm, so maybe I should suggest to the boss that we upgrade everything to Windows 8 and then I would always be in demand.  Not going to happen. 

Thus far a very calm day, boss man not here so everyone is relaxed.  I got a call this morning about going to a local facility but thankfully I was able to save the trip and talk them through it over the phone.  They had a computer with internet problems.  Turns out someone unplugged the network switch.  As soon as they plugged it back in, all is working again.  The lady I was talking to said thanks but then again you didn’t really do anything.  I just shrugged that one off.  However, I was thinking bitch you couldn’t figure it out so yes I did do something.  It’s working now that you talked to me!  I mean she wasn’t smart enough to figure it out.  People should think more before they speak.

Well back to the dust buster.  Sitting here watching it churn is painful and I’ve got another machine that needs to go out today.  I’m thinking that they both will ship out tomorrow.  I guess that is better than not shipping at all.  One more day won’t kill them. 

Hope all is well in your world.  Talk with you peeps later.

Meatballs & Cabbage

So Monday is out of the way!  I so didn’t want to go in this morning and was depressed about it.  However, I got a pretty good reception when I got in.  People actually missed me.  That’s kind of nice. 

I started with the lady who had issues on Friday.  There is something wrong with her machine and it’s covered under warranty.  However, since she takes care of paying people I had to get her back up quick.  So I built her a new machine.  She is the genius who figured out how to circumvent our Content Filter.  So I fixed her clock, her new machine won’t be able to go to Facebook no matter what she does.  I don’t think she will complain because your not suppose to be on Facebook, your supposed to be working.  I gave her boss a heads up just in case.  Now I guess she will be surfing on her phone to Facebook.  Oh well that’s life!

I unboxed one of the problem child machines.  Its so old and outdated I said screw this.  I gave that person a new machine as well.  However, I wasn’t able to push AV to it because the Management Center was acting funny.  After rebooting the Domain Controller tonight all is back to normal, so that machine will go out tomorrow.

I had a few phone calls a couple e-mails but all in all a very calm day, which is exactly what I wanted and needed.  I’m having second thoughts about leaving on Sunday.  I haven’t asked for travel plans to be made yet, but will be doing so soon.  I will have to kick it around a bit more.

I finished up my day with the other sick machine.  It had fan issues.  I got those fixed but the machine was full of dust and that crap is all over my office.  It got on my clothes and in my nose, it was a general mess.  I should have taken the damn thing outside but you need paperwork for that.  Anyway, the fan is fixed.  Now I have to figure out the network connection issue and then I think it’s all good.  It’s old too but not nearly like the Dinosaur that I replaced earlier.

The vet called about a message I left them.  I’m so worried about the cost of Big Boy’s medicine.  I can’t seem to find it in stock anywhere on-line so I asked about alternatives.  Turns out there are none.  He has to take Prednisolone.  They called in a prescription to the local pharmacy and I’m back to paying $85 for something that used to cost $20.  Crap, I hate it when I don’t have options.  However, he has 5 refills and they are 3 month supplies so there is enough there to cover the entire year.  Animals and people are both so expensive!

Supper consisted of Meatballs & Cabbage.  Not the best meal when you have a gas problem.  However, it was damn good.  My suggestion on a dish we regularly have but haven’t had in a while.  Finished off with some Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip cookies and then time to take the trash out. 

I’m all ready to relax.  Going to watch some inside story that was done on McDonald’s I set it to record last night before I turned off the TV.  Hopefully it’s interesting.  I told Mr. Big Boy that I would be a half hour and I’m past my time.  He’s going to be mad at me but he will still get his treats, which is all he wants. 

4 more days in the office.  Talk with you peeps later.

Sunday

The dreaded Sunday, day before you have to go back to work.  It’s difficult if you have been on vacation or in my case out sick for 2 days.  I enjoy time away from work, but I just don’t seem to get enough of it to satisfy me.  I think tomorrow will suck, but I won’t know for sure until it gets here.  I’m preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. 

Laundry here is all backed up.  My partners bladder has been working overtime and just when I think I’m done, nope I have something else to wash.  He is very frustrated because we can’t even go out for a simple meal with him having an accident.  I’m sick of it and I know he is too.  However, he says what can I do the doctor doesn’t want to do anything about it.  I told him be more forceful or if push comes to shove let me talk to them.  He is afraid that he will be told to get a new doctor.  I have a tendency to speak my mind and I throw the f bomb for some extra good measure.  Yeah, that will get your doctor to tell you to move on real quick.  However, if they aren’t working for you maybe they need a kick in the ass – I’m the person who will give it to them. 

Today we slept in until 11 then got going.  Cracker Barrel for breakfast.  Home by 1 and then to the grocery store and out for pizza at 4 and back by 7.  That’s the entire day. 

I did find something really cool.  I downloaded the Roku App from the Apple App Store and now I can control my Roku box through my iPhone.  The trick is both your Apple I device and your Roku box need to be connected to the same wireless network.  Then it just works.  How cool is that!  The better part is it’s free.  I don’t believe in paying for apps, at least not with my money.  Besides that there are all sorts of free apps that do lots of things.  You might have to put up with an ad, but big deal.

Last night hearing nothing from Otter Box, I decided to email my photos again.  I resized one of them because they demand 3 photos.  That did the trick.  I got an e-mail from them this morning that a replacement will be on the way to me within 7 business days.  Okay.  So the first time this happened I gave them my work address, which is a physical address, they sent the item by the Post Office.  This time I gave them a Post Office Box and they are sending the item by FedEx.  I don’t get it.  Unless they are using FedEx Smart Post – that would work.  It’s a service where the package starts out with FedEx, they deliver it to your local Post Office and then the Post Office takes it from there.  I won’t have a tracking number until it ships.  That is when I will be able to tell if there will be a problem or not. 

Talking with my partner about my trip.  He is suggesting that I fly out on Sunday.  I really don’t want to but it would give me an extra day, since the 1st day is always wasted on travel.  I would be able to spring into action come Monday morning  He also suggests not returning home until Saturday.  Yeah, that one I’m not going to do.  I will ask about the Sunday travel part but it’s totally up to the company.  The more I think of it I may actually be able to pull this job off if they give me that extra day.

Well it’s time to cycle laundry.  Brush my teeth and get ready for bed.  Wind down time.  I sure hope I sleep extra good tonight because I think I will need everything my body has to offer tomorrow.  Good night and I will talk with you peeps later. 

On the mend

Well the Roids are doing their job.  I feel much better.  I only hope that my symptoms don’t come back!  I’ve got 2 days left of Roids and then I will be on my own.  Antibiotics will last for a couple more days.

My partner got a note from his doctor today telling him his Vitamin D was very low, plus that he had a bladder infection.  There was an antibiotic waiting at the pharmacy.  We got that yesterday night.  I told him to start taking it before we knew what it was for. 

We went out for BBQ today.  Then Ice Cream and finally stopped off for Cat Litter.  Then back to our germ filled house.  I have spent way too much time here over the past few days but it has felt really good.

Tomorrow is my last day of rest and relaxation.  I’ve got to prepare to get back in the swing of things.  This week will probably be busy.  The following week I will be traveling.  So not looking forward to that.  However, hopefully everything works out.  All I can do is try my best and pray that everything falls in to place and that I don’t get snowed in!

Since there isn’t much on TV, I’ve been watching The Real World via Hulu Plus.  I saw all of London, California and now I am working on DC.  It’s so hard to believe this so has been on the air for such a very long time.  I saw bits and pieces of season 1, might try to watch that next since it would pretty much all be new to me.  I’ve seen most every season and still watch the new episodes when they come out today.  I see a common theme, drama.  It’s all usually some disagreement either between roommates over trivial stuff, over how they are living their lives or because of something they did.  Most of it is childish but it does make for good TV.

Grocery Store is on the list for tomorrow, plus laundry and wrangling the trash.  You know all of the usual Sunday stuff.

Today I had such big plans but I woke up at 8:30 am by a siren passing by.  Have no idea what was going on.  Fed the cats, came back to my chair started watching TV then got sleepy and passed out.  Woke up a couple hours later, watched more TV.  Saw my partner talked a bit.  Watched more TV then I passed out.  It was like 1:30 pm before we got going. 

I’ve tamed some of the trash and started on some of the laundry.  Right now my body is getting tired, plus I’m sitting in front of this box, called a computer.  The thought of going back to work is just depressing, however sooner or later I have to do it.  So might as well get it over with.  I guess if I didn’t have pending travel then I wouldn’t mind so much.  Plus I checked my bank and found out that with the new taxes in effect I will be taking home $41 less.  That wasn’t very nice to learn but better now than when I am at crunch time paying bills.  Which I have already done!  Just one left that’s the phone bill but it won’t be ready until sometime this week, so I will keep an eye out for it. 

Would you believe I went almost an entire week without cat pee in my bathroom.  Well that ended this morning.  In protest to my sleeping in the little guy went in the tub and turned on the living room TV.  Normally the volume is set to high so it wakes me up, but we fixed that when we are done with the TV the volume goes to 0 and that way the jokes on him.  I marvel at how intelligent the little balls of fur really are.  Well off to enjoy what’s left of Saturday night.  Talk with you peeps later!

You Belong With Me (Gay Version)

Bite Your Tongue

I was late in getting to sleep last night but was really thinking of going into work, despite how I felt.  I had a nice plan all worked out to only work part of the day but that all changed when I woke up.

My partner being an older gentleman has all sorts of things wrong with him.  He hates his dry mouth, which comes from Diabetes and it not being totally controlled.  So he has been chewing gum to solve the problem.  Last night he was doing some work and chomping away.  Turns out he bit his Tongue.  He is on blood thinners so a simple cut can bleed for hours.  Sure enough he did this around 9:30pm last night and was still bleeding this morning at 6:20 am when I got up.  Well that pretty well synched it for me.  I knew I was staying home then.  He wanted me to go to work but secretly he wanted me to stay home to take care of him.

I kept telling him he needs to go to the hospital but he fought me for at least an hour.  I called his dentist for some tips they said direct pressure for 10 minutes should do the trick.  Well that didn’t work.  It’s not like he took out a large portion it was just a simple nick.  He said if I get dressed will you take me to the hospital, sure why not.  The photo above isn’t his tongue, it actually looked worse than this photo but it was from all of the bleeding.  Plus he was as pale as a ghost. 

So from 9 until 12 noon we sat there.  They kept giving him gauze to apply but it wasn’t working.  Then they came up with some treated Styrofoam gel pad that should help.  It too didn’t work.  So they gave him a shot of Lidocaine and that of course burns he screamed but managed to get through it.  There were multiple injections.  After a bit that seemed to do the trick.  However, to make sure they cauterized it.  Then his lip started bleeding because it was so dry.  There was nothing to be done for that it was minor blood so they let him go. 

In the process of helping him I bent over to pick up a towel he dropped and my Otter Box holster once again fell apart.  I just got this replacement and it lasted all of a week.  Love their products but they are so NOT durable.  I’ve filed another warranty claim and hope they will replace this one as well.  1 year warranty.  On my initial claim they were very responsive.  This being my second claim they are dragging their feet.

I also got one of the problem children from work to bother me this morning.  Their machine “wouldn’t turn on”.  Then it was on but they screen, keyboard and mouse were not working and the fan was making a strange noise.  WTF am I am supposed to do with that when I am at home sick?  No way to fix it and the story about what was going on kept changing every couple minutes.  Finally I decided you will have to use a spare machine.  They wanted me to send them home.  Yeah, right that is not within my power.  I wrote their boss and told them they wanted to go home because their computer didn’t work.  Next thing I heard was they told me to use a spare machine.  Duh!  That’s what I said.  You can limp by.  Now I have a bunch of crap waiting for me when I get back.  Thought about going in tomorrow but decided against it because I should recuperate and enjoy my weekend.  This is my last week home, then the following week on the 14th I will be traveling on Mission Impossible.

The laundry is backed up, I’m tired and my guy is sick plus tired.  What a fun weekend this is going to be.  Perhaps it will go better than I think it will just as long as it doesn’t go by too fast. 

That’s a wrap on Friday.  Just a little bit of surfing to do and then I will be on my way to the bedroom to watch TV.  Talk with you peeps later. 

Sick

I had a personal body issue yesterday at work.  That should have been my clue to go home, but I stayed and toughed it out.  It was one of those things that if your around other people they would figure it out quickly, but thankfully I get to sit in my office all day.  I got a call from one of the people I work with and quickly remoted into their computer to help them vs. coming over.  Thank God for technology.

Then I stood waiting at Walgreens for a 1/2 hour having to go to the bathroom, while they worked out some issue with my insurance.  I knew about it in advance so I was prepared but never thought I would have to go to the bathroom.  They don’t have public restrooms at Walgreens.  However, I have a suspicion that if you asked the right person they might let you use the restroom the employees use.  Again I toughed it out.

I got home and was ready to collapse.  I had supper which was Super Spicy (on accident) Tacos.  They were damn good though.  I took my first dose of medicine and noticed the antibiotics looked different.  I didn’t think anything of it.

As usual I was up all night long using the restroom, the steroids do that to you.  This morning I looked at the bottle of antibiotics and to my dismay they were something different.  I was instantly worried about being allergic but I have had two doses and nothing has shown up, so I figure I am safe or so I hope. 

I stayed home today.  It was Purchase Order Problem day.  Every problem but one had to do with the PO system I am in charge of.  I fixed everything pretty quick.  However, I was wishing that I had my laptop here.  I had to run up and down the steps several times. 

Much to my surprise my boss seem to understand.  I mean this was the first time I have ever stayed home sick an entire day in 8 months.  Not a bad track record if you ask me. 

There isn’t much going on tomorrow, I haven’t decided if I am going to tough it out or stay home.  My partner wants me to go back to work because he says calling in always leads to bad things.  Meaning that I will loose my job.  Heck, it’s a right to work state they don’t need cause or a reason, they can simply fire you.  Not fair but it’s common place in a non-union job. 

I know I have a couple machines to install.  I’m thinking go in for the morning.  Take off after lunch, install the machines and then go home early.  Sounds nice.  I know my problem child machine is probably waiting for me.  I’m sure it’s going to kick my ass but I look forward to the challenge. 

Right now I feel pretty good, but it’s the roids.  My neck is still killing me and that is usually the first place I feel it then boom like a hammer it hits me.  This time it was my nose running like an ocean.  Plus I’m hot and cold, again the roids.  Hungry, yep the roids.  I’ve slept most of the day away.  Kind of worried that I won’t be sleepy tonight.

If I don’t get sleep then I won’t be working tomorrow.  Simple as that.  Besides it’s Friday and even though I might not be there physically I’ve got my phone so I really never get a day off.  Yup, remember my crazy vacation.  I wish I would have turned the damn thing off or left it at the office.  Vacation means that you get time away from the office and don’t have to work.

Well, the clock is turning close to 9.  I need to at least make an attempt to go to bed, even though it is the last place I want to be, considering that I have spent pretty much my entire day there.  However, Jumper is happy!  Big Boy not so much, he snuck in and hid under the foot rest when I got up I hit him with it on accident because I never knew he was there. It was bad enough to do it once but I did it twice before it sunk in there isn’t a problem with the chair there is a cat in the way.  I apologized but he really didn’t want to hear it.  Going to reward him now with treats, the favorite part of the day for them!  Talk with you peeps later. 

Update

So I called the doctor and they were surprised that I needed 2 medications for my sinus problem.  It’s no doubt the start of an infection so why not head it off with antibiotics.  I know I will need them eventually.  Someone is supposed to call me from the docs office.  That probably won’t happen until we get closer to the end of the day.  I’m in misery.  Chop off my nose and I will be fine.  My left nostril burns from all of the blowing.  I wish the work part of the day was over with.

I could just say I don’t feel well, which is true and go home.  However, here I am a trooper still at the office with not much to do.  It’s okay I like it when I get caught up.  I’m waiting for the sick machine to roll in, something tells me it won’t be here until tomorrow.  I just hope that I make it in tomorrow – kind of depends upon how I feel.

That 2nd box of Kleenex is feeling a bit light.  You can look at my trash can and tell what I have been doing all day long.  Me thinks I might have some Benadryl with me.  I’m going to check, anything is better than this.  Even feeling sleepy and not being able to take a nap. 

We had some internet issues again at work, they were momentary.  Unfortunately, we don’t have any good monitoring tools in place.  The outside IT Firm we use is happy to come on site and set something up, plus our router needs a firmware upgrade really bad.  However, that all costs money and knowing the cheap skate like I do, he feels I should be able to take care of it.  Yeah, but I’m not a network guru.  You make a wrong move in the router and no one will be surfing the internet and I will be standing in the middle of the street.  No thanks, I would just as soon let someone who knows what they are doing take care of it.  I just have to call to schedule it and right now I’m just not motivated. 

People have discovered a loop hole in the content filtering system and with the upgrade it would patch the loop hole and I think solve 99% of the problems we are having.  Too many people are on Facebook and streaming video.  Nothing kills bandwidth like multiple streams. We could also use an upgrade to our circuit but again that would cost money.

Ok off to look to see what meds I have with me to see if I can find something that will provide the relief I need.  Talk with you peeps later! 

Miserable

Late to bed last night, woke up early feel okay.  Mentally I didn’t want to go but I made it in to work.  I’m sitting here minding my own business when my nose just opened up and started pouring like a river.  I see some dust in my office so I attributed it to allergies.  Took my emergency Claritin and waited for it to kick in.  I have rubbed one side of my nose raw and gone through an entire box of Kleenex.  Now I am starting to think it might not be allergies.  I really don’t want to call the doctor and have to leave work but if this continues I know I will be in a world of hurt the longer I let it go on.  So I am waiting and if there is no change within the next hour, I will make the call maybe I will get lucky and he can just call something in, I mean going there will only result in a prescription or two.  Better to cut through the red tape and just get the medicine. 

I know my partner is sick and maybe all of the time I spent around him transferred his germs.  Maybe it’s the cold weather.  Maybe it’s just something I’m stuck with.  Better now than when I am on the road.

I got a machine pretty well built, which was my major goal for the day.  I’ve got a couple people that need some remote help and another machine that is on the way in.  So it’s not like I am bored, just clearing stuff off my plate as quick as possible.  I’ve got two machines to install locally and have plans to do that on Friday.  That kind of depends upon how I feel now, hopefully I can pull it off. 

Outside of that nothing really major going on.  No one wants to be at work today but were all here.  Traffic was a little heavier this morning but still light enough that I made it in early.  I was disappointed there was no Shep 689 video this morning.  I guess they are having a good time in NYC.  I so look forward to their video each day, it’s become a habit for me.

Well off to help those remote people.  I hope your having a great 2nd day of the new year.  Talk with you peeps later!

New for 2013

Like the new look?  I know it’s a little bright but I thought what better way to start off the New Year.  Change can be good!

I also added 2 new link list elements on the sidebar.  They are Watch on You Tube and Gay Porn News (NSFW).  There are some sites under each that I think you will enjoy. 

I highly recommend watching Shep 689.  It’s a daily vlog journal started by Will and he includes his partner RJ.  They also have a really HOT roommate Kasey (who is straight).  I’ve been watching them for a long time.  Will had a promise to start daily vlogs if a particular post got a certain amount of likes.  Well, that was done in no time and it’s just been a non stop ride of fun ever since.  I’m sure it’s a lot of work for them to put together a daily video but they do a great job. 

If your into Gay Porn News then my suggestion there is The Sword.  They have the scoop on most everything in gay porn.  There are photos too, which is why it’s NSFW.

Speaking of NSFW, my other blog that has hot guys on it, well if you have been watching it you know I haven’t updated it in quite a while.  I just didn’t get the feedback that I was looking for.  I will be doing occasional updates, when the mood strikes me but it’s not something that I will maintain daily.  Keeping this site going is my main focus and I honestly think I’m pretty good at it.  Plus it’s what I enjoy. 

So there you have it New for 2013.  Enjoy!

1st post of 2013

Happy New Year everyone!  I hope that things are going great for you.  I didn’t think I would be up until Midnight but I was.  For the first time ever I was in the shower when the clock rang in the new year.  I guess you’d call it a clean start. 

I accomplished getting the bathroom cleaned up.  I also was so motivated I cleaned up my partners bedroom, which was a disaster.  I had plans to sit in front of the computer but they were quickly changed when I thought about my facial and trying to relax.  Besides that I spend way too much time on this box anyway. 

Today we made it to the grocery store, which was not crowded at all.  Probably because people thought they were closed, plus it’s really cold outside.  Saw a cute couple of guys walk in.  One of them was giving me the eye as if to say bitch, what are you looking at.  He was hot stuff and I guess he knew it. 

We had breakfast/lunch at Steak N Shake.  Then supper at a local bar, which has some okay food.  Plus it’s really cheap.  Now we are home the trash is out.  More laundry is going and I still have to get ready for work tomorrow, plus tend to the litter boxes. 

Jumper didn’t want to sleep with me last night, he was off hiding somewhere.  He had a puke fest by one of the litter boxes.  The first mess of the year for me to clean up.  Poor boy.  However, we made up for lost time this morning.  I was up at 8 to feed the 4 legged creatures.  Jumper nibbled a bit and then followed me back to bed.  Where we snuggled and watched The Real World London.  We got through about 4 episodes and then I just had to go back to sleep.  It was close to 10 when I went back to sleep.  I got woke up at 11 and that’s when my day started.  Plus I took a short nap today.  Tomorrow is going to suck because I won’t want to go to bed tonight and that means I will be so sleepy tomorrow morning. 

Boss man will be back in the office tomorrow, I just hope he doesn’t bother me at all.  I have plenty to do and I am sure emails and calls will be pouring in as well.  He should be leaving Thursday afternoon, which will be nice.  But he will be back on Monday, which is kind of depressing.  Ah, well 1 week in the office with him and then I will be on the road for a week.  Not looking forward to that either, but at least I will be away from the ogre.  Does it show that I don’t care for him?  If he wasn’t such a grouch I would probably like him more.  However, I like him a lot as long as he leaves me alone! 

Well, off to enjoy the evening.  You all take care and be well.  Talk with you peeps later!

Happy New Year!
