The holiday ends today. For many of my co-losers, their holiday begins tomorrow once they return to work. I envy them. They say that ignorance is bliss . . . that means that many of my co-losers are in paradise. 

I just scared my youngest at the dinner table. She was eating a bowl of cereal, I heard something on TV and tore out of my office to see it and she jumped and spilled her bowl on her lap. I feel so sorry for her. It was funny, but the milk was cold. 

I have been working on my own manual for my duties at work. It has taken me over seven days to prepare it. I remember my old seventh grade English teacher at Eastmont Intermediate, Mrs. Johnson. She was instructing on us on giving proper instructions and she was demonstrating by us having to give clear instructions on how to put a coat on. We all had a hard time doing so but we learned to be clear and precise. I remember Anna Holguin. 

Where did that come from? I haven't a clue, but I do remember Anna Holguin. Where is that yearbook. Ah, yes. Oh yeah, there is Lisa Huante . . . why have I always had a thing for Lisa's . . . anyway, where was I?

Oh yeah, being precise and not wasting time. Damn, I wasn't even trying to go on a tangent, and I did. LOL & ROTF. 

I am ALMOST finished with it. I wonder why with all of these moments that I go off on tangents.

My point is that I am so amazed. I know that I am responsible for many things, but gee, not as much as this. No matter, I will go in and put in for out of class or additional responsibilities.  Civil Service. Such a nice thing.

We saw Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkhaban last night, my little ones were very happy at seeing the movie again. Not much more for today, it is a rather incredibly busy week and it just gets more so. Have a wonderful holiday and please forgive us if the material is light for the next two days. We should be up to full speed by Friday.

Well, the holidays are approaching and they are almost right on top us. Gee, how time flies. You know, when one gets older, you just seem to lose track of everything. It amazes me that you just never seem to have time for anything . . . (yes, I am rambling. I know that I am rambling, but you should have figured that out before I had to whisper this to you)

Alright. Let's be serious now. Me? I will try, even though I am so tempted to go down a tangent right now . . . any tangent. 

A tangent less traveled. Not by me. Vacation was upon me. I had planned to take vacation from Wednesday of this week until maybe December 15th. I haven't taken a vacation in a while. Plans changed this morning so I decided to put off my first day till Monday of next week. I arrive home and I find that I may not even take vacation until maybe the week after that. Family. Sometimes you just have to . . . 

I am listening to Lilo & Stitch's Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride . . . pure bliss. Miss N was rather frustrated today because she grows tired of my musical delights at work. I really don't care. We are there to work and if she can't handle it, she can just go get another job at McDonald's or something. I worked at Carl's Jr. so it is not like I am insulting her . . . well, I am. I didn't tell her to go work at Carl's . . . you get my point though.

I let my significant other have over the change in vacation plans. I mean, look, it is HER family that lost the plane tickets. How does one lose plane tickets that can not be replaced? Aren't we in the 21st century? Is it because they were purchased in some jerk-water-town in the deep interior of Mexico? I give up trying to reason with her and her family. I was looking forward to this and now I must change my plans . . . NOW I MUST REMAIN AT WORK for the foreseeable future. I have been scaring the sh-- out of my compatriots with talk that I would be gone for three weeks and maybe more and now I won't be going after all. 

I am babbling. I am just so pissed. I shouldn't be, but I am.

Happy Holidays. The web site may not be updated as often over the next few days due to the holiday. Have patience but please, just one thing, well in addition to you visiting . . . would you please leave us some freaking feed back? Let us know how we are stinking up the place, how we are screwing society up with our lack-thereof - anything. Something. Please? Pretty-Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeese?

McDonalds is finally upgrading its Happy Meal. I think I will finally give McDonalds a second look . . .

Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames. - Thomas Moore

I just saw the VH1 special Retrosexual. My fellow 80's kids, you want a real flashback, check this program out on VH1.

Sunday. When they mean long-weekend, isn't it supposed to be long in duration? What's up with time? It just needs to slow down more.

Yo. Now I know why Star Trek is always messing with the timeline: what was screwed up once before deserves another chance to screw it up again.

Whatever. What-ever. WHATEVER. Actually, I am not on to something. I am trying to stall the weekend from ending. 11.5 Billion Euros and counting now for Greece and its empty Olympic Party. Reminds me of Arden's really dumb joke: If Russia were to attack Turkey from the rear, would Greece help? Only if they don't end up paying for it . . .

Vehicle. Escape. Ford. New. Maybe. The four words preceding the "maybe" were good. I don't like the maybe. I haven't decided if I want to go into debt again. Yes, my business makes money, it's just that I am debt free, all except a few credit cards that total less than $500.00. I am not bragging, I just don't want to get into debt again. No, I don't have money to give away. 

Answer: You want money? File head of household, claim a child and get a free loan from the government. 

Question: How does one go to jail?

Hark . . . I hear a crime spree in the offing. I am off to my domestic duties . . .

(Personal note: A crime WAS committed)

Third day of the four day weekend. What happened with the other three days? I know what happened, time flies when you are stuck behind a computer. Just not cool. Really. 

9 Billion Euros for the Athens Olympics? Morons. 

Boston won the World Series. Good for them and all their fans. Clearly, clearly a stunning and glorious moment for the Boston Red Sox, their city and their fans. I will be the first to admit that Boston is the best, and the Yankees did not choke. They got beat by a superior team, period. I am not taking anything away from Boston, the Sox beat the Yankees. I don't want to make an excuse for my team by saying they choked - they didn't. Boston beat them four straight - the record, the accomplishment speaks for itself. Celebrate Boston, you've earned it - no one gave it to you.

Holiday. Well, today is actually my day off. I work a 9/80 schedule. This means that I work nine hours Monday to Thursday and Friday I only work eight hours. The following week, I am off the next Friday. Neat, don't you think? Do you care? I do, I am off today and combined with yesterday, I am away from work for two days now and my weekend hasn't even started! Just too cool. Really.
