Went to work, drove up north (where i am at the moment)

loverly weather when i left, sodding raining now, bloody northeners...

Mom dropped me off at work, did a short loadin, bummed a ride from a friend so I could get home, got my schedule lined up through next week Sunday.

It's a perfect day to wash the car (74 and sunny with a light breeze out of the south)...too bad it's sitting in a repair shop 80 miles away.

Wash someone else's

Entered round 8769876948576982475902569087254698 of the "Battle Against the Weasel"... *sigh*

Checking on some data while the Norton is looking at me hard drives.....

Not bloody likely!

Made dinner, now wasting a few minutes until it's time to leave for work again.

I... I... I...

- the wife

Decided to visit Raleigh, NC the second week of May.

-mentioned to WD he needs to take about a 5 hour diversion south......

Damn!!!! Mentioned to bk that that was the original destination!!!!

'sok-- it's looking like I'll be headed elsewhere that week, anyway....

ordered the last part I need to do my Blazer SFA swap- 76 CJ rear axle shackle hangers

planned how I'm going to build the XJ's rear bumper tomorrow, and how I will build the front spring crossmember spring hanger by cutting up some 3.5X4 c-channel.

Watched one of the best AHL hockey games I've seen in a long time....only to then watch my home team lose Game 1 of the playoffs in overtime.

Oh yeah...I was working, too...spotlight. Sometimes that's hard to remember, especially when we get a goal. Process goes something along the lines of "YES!!! Who was that? Right... (tonight anyway) it was Miller with a hat trick for the night! Oh crap...I'm supposed to light him and then ballyhoo until the game starts up again!" Followed by me scrambling to get the light on and pointed appropriately.

I love hockey.

Took a quiz in Roman Culture, ate with friends at Ruby Tuesday's and watched Kill Bill Vol. 2.

Woke up, came downstairs, been coughing my lungs clear for 15 minutes... still have another 15 to go.

Took Harvey to the Vet for his missing bandages being done up and he had got the result and it not the drend C so he got some diet to try and cut out the three area of suspicious as what cause it......and he got some flea spray on just in case!

Harvey wasn't pleased with me when he got home......so bet that he have some plan drafting up as a revenge.....

Well, that's easily solve mb. Abduct a small child from the village and give it to Harvey!!!!!

Watched Pompey beat Man Yoo 1-0.

Tried to rake with the expected result: too wet. So, we weeded one-quarter of our flower beds. Now it's time for a shower, a shag and then off to buy some mulch!

started some seeds, moved some logs for landscaping, staked out a garden area. Now off to the garage to fix the car

Woke up with my annual "everything is coming to life because it's spring" allergy attack.

Decided I'm glad I quit smoking other than that glitch when the car blew up.

Wished I didn't have to work tonight, or failing getting out of work entirely, that I'd get moved to the arena football game instead of the ballet loadout because it's less effort and time for the same money.

Bought two out of 4 doors needed and a dwarf apple tree.

Nipped into town and bought a lawnmower for the mother-in-law and a tent for me and Baz to use for our drag racing weekend at the end of May.

Went to company picnic, drank free beer and ate free food, and played some horseshoes.

Bought UT2K4 along with some other stuff. Got my killing on online. Ahhhhh, frag bliss.

Played baseball with my roommate around 11 then again around 4, this time with a couple other friends as well. Lots of fun today.

Played the angel to the single mothers.

I installed a faucet and shower for one cousin and installed a door and trim for another.

Oh, and rode my motorcycle between jobs.

Went to the same company picnic Ace went to, drank a couple of beers, watched a couple of known kiss-asses in action kissing some ass, and a couple of people who've alienated certain other people try to befriend them again with the same air of phonieness they've always had. Pathetic.

All-in-all, a typical company picnic - tons of good food though.

After I left, however, I went to an even better picnic, and got some four wheelin' in as well. I found out on the way home that the Concho 4 Wheelers had a 'fun day' today at the lake - which I missed by not attending the meeting this past Tuesday (I was wiped out...).

A good day.

* Ace falls into the category of 'good people' though... so none of the above comments about the company picnic apply to him.

Hmm... ass kissing and good food - sounds like you boys were on a date!!!!

Worked on a program in OpenGL. Started to wish that my professor explained the code more in depth instead of the physics behind the code. Hopefully he will show us how to write programs for 3d.

Then mowed the lawn. I had to stop to fix the mower because the handle was around my mid thigh instead of my waist and it was killing my back. First I tried to jack it up real fast with twigs because I wanted to finish mowing first. Didn't work. Then I tried to tie it up with string. Also didn't work. Finally I went for the all out fix with nuts and bolts. By the time I was done I only had a little bit of time to mow before it went dark. So I have to get up early tomorrow to finish. Not to mention I destroyed a sprinkler head in the near darkness.

If I would have just went for the sure fix instead of the quick fix I would be done by now.

So afterward I took a jump in the pool. Apparently 70 degree water is not fit to swim in when its only 75 outside. Talk about cold.

Finally made it back to my computer to see I had missed out on a chat. Yeah, my away message is always up because I run mainly on AIM and I like to have a quote up at all times. So feel free to message me. If I don't reply I must be either really away or playing a game.

Went to work completely miserable...eyes watering, nose plugged up, coughing like a tubercular on her deathbed...

Got assigned the easy job of sorting and putting away colour for the lights.

Tried to get food on the way home, but apparently there's some religious thing or something, since everywhere I went that is normally open 24 hours was closed.

Now eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but I'm out of milk.

Found a nice web site for mulch and crushed stone... VERY local and affordable!!!!!

Got up late, read the paper, watched some of the London Marathon on TV, finished modifying one of our fish tanks, had dinner, tried to find a decent avatar (no luck), entered an F1 dream team in a fantasy league, watched it piss down with rain all day, PS2 is coming out soon....

Basically, I've done SFA today...

Took the lasses with me to the mulch place... which was closed despite today being the first advertised open Sunday. Went to the market, secured items for dinner tonight and for tomorrow. Now, need to do more work in the back yard.

took the boys to the playground cause the bowling alley was closed. Vacuumed up shattered glass (thnaks cats)/ Now some lunch and then yard work just like wdoll.

Did the ironing, watched TV, played BF1942. Considering having dinner now.

WOke up with a slight drunken headache, had a phone call, went GO kart racing again, which was a great laugh with it pissing it down , spent most of the time spinning round

Just watching the NASCAR race, which is red flagged.....

Woke up after getting very little sleep and went to work...only got four hours in.

Bummed a ride to the med center to see if I could get something done about this hellacious cough...and ended up paying $282 to get out the door. I'm not even going to bother to try to get my prescriptions, there's no point. I have $6.42 left in my checking account until my refund check clears, and 99% of that is going to ransom my car.

Now sitting here feeling like absolute hell and wondering WTF my life has to suck so much lately.

Hmm....I guess today started at midnight...

Was at my high school reunion ("ass of 94" BWAHAHAHA), went home, gabbed on the phone, went to bed, went shopping for bridesmaid dress fabric, had lunch...need nap...

got a sunburn

Raked the leaves, almost sunk to my ankles in the mud, realized that mowing wasn't gonna happen.

Had our first ad in the paper today for the business.

Watched Rusty win his 55th NASCAR race - FINALLY!!!!! WOOHOO!!! (all the time nursing a headache from drinking cheap beer in the sun at yesterday's picnic)

Currently loading the OS on a machine I built for a good friend at the Auto Hobby Shop.

Mom bought me my prescriptions, and already I feel about 40% better than before. Even if I am flat broke.

Went back to work, then to the drive-thru for dinner...where I got free curly fries and a free Sprite because I had to wait for my chicken sandwich.

It's 3am...do you know why I'm not asleep? I don't...

Drove down to South Wales for a few days at another of our sites. More odd accents to get the hang of!

Actually got some sleep!!!!

Made breakfast, did some laundry, about to head for the shower so I can catch the bus to get to my ride to go pick up my car!!!!!!!!!

It's a good day so far.

Woke up with a bad back, must have slept really bad in the night

Got to work and helped move two offices about while one gets some major repairs done, annoyed at the fact the plan we had friday was ejected by a director for a sillier plan that involved me moving for some reason

weather is nice though,

ooh also recieved a nice parcel this morning, quicker than i expected.

Where did you move to?

I slowly got out of bed this morning. Where did the weekend go?? Then I came to work and ate some breakfast. Time to do some work

just up the corridor, the layout of our offices is quite good to be honest,

There is a main office with 40 people in, a corridor off this with a meeting room, the small 2 person office i am now in, a cumfy back office with sofa's and the office i was in with 4 other people, good laugh but could be easily too noisy and distracting, especially when i had to get stuff done. We also have two offices downstairs with 5 people in each, had to move them about...
