Laughing and Crying

I have to link to this site because it makes me laugh so goddang hard.

Marmaduke is harassing a street person.

Tuff weak

So I had my first real taste of "work" at my new job this week. We are short-handed and there was tons and tons of storm damage. I had people stopping me on the street to tell me their phone wasn't working. I told them all the same thing... call the phone company and open a trouble ticket.
If I stopped what I was doing to work on their trouble I'd never get anything accomplished.


Anyhizzow, I got invited to two private poker games this weekend. I'm prolly only makeit 2 one because I gots 2 wurk this weekend... My boss sprung it on me kind of Office Space style. MmmKay, I'm going to need you to come in on Saturday and why don't you go ahead and come in on Sunday too. Honestly he's a good guy and he felt really embarassed to ask. It's just that we have people coming from other areas to help us catch up and it would look really bad if we were all gone and they were working.

Life is A-OK, we own a house with other people living in it. More on that later. Holidays are coming. Famfam time is good.

Take care all, gots 2 go.

Water water everywhere but not a drop to drink...

Has it really been this long?!!



The rainy season is here. I had to buy some rainpants because my rainbib is in storage somewhere. Yes, I wear a bib. Sometimes it nice to just be able to drool on yourself without the worry of staining you clothing.

Wife, work, bowl, eat, sss, computers, houses, poker, music (the new COF), family here and there, LOST, Heroes, and obnoxious doggie.

See you soon ||

Like Sting says, "We're starting up a brand new day

So my new hobbie is bowling. I started about 3 weeks ago after I joined a men's league at the local alley. After the first night I had wrought for myself a sweet 104 average. Now after a bit of practice I'm getting around 140. Hopefully it's all uphill from here... or downhill, which actually sounds easier.



The work thing has kind of ironed itself out. I checked with everyone else on the crew and I'm doing fine and they all think the bad guy is an ass too.

The rain is here and the green things are singing.

Keens or Danskos?

Badump Bump. That's the sound of the other shoe dropping. Things were going so well then this gigantic douchebag I work with decided that he didn't like the way I smile (sarcastic elaboration).

Really what happened after I just put in an awesome month of work is that this lazy-ass donkey fucker I work with starts belittling me in front of my crew on Friday morning (Sep 29th for the record). He was giving me a derogatory nickname compairing me with some other employee from the past who evidently didn't do much work. I told him we needed to go talk about what he was saying but he was relentless.
I stewed about it over the weekend and decided to tell him on Monday that I would report him to HR for harassment if he ever did that again.
Monday morning came and I had a chance to talk to him alone. I told him that I took offense to the remarks he made on Friday and gave him the HR warning.
Things went very bad from there... at one point I even got caught up in the argument and said there was nothing to his job. He dared me to do his job for a week. I basically let him know he was full of shit and that he better leave me alone.
The last thing he said to me was "Kiss my ass." I replied "Fuck off."
So I'm leaving out a lot of fun back-and-forth banter but that's the gist. Needless to say I'm avoiding this guy as much as possible. I checked with the rest of the crew and no one else holds the same opinion as him so I am vindicated.

Then, after some good times hanging out with my wife and smacking some golf balls around (separate activities), I feel a thousand times better.

And life goes on...

Land Ho!

Avast ye scurvy dogs! Garrr!!

How many more awesome days until the other shoe drops? Shtuff has been going very well with the exception of this damn cold I caught. I guess 6 years in an office building has turned me into a weakling.

Significo otro KS and I had great B-days. Now is the countdown to closing on our new place!!

Keep it real G's

Mr. Fancy Pants

Yep, I pretty much got the best yob in the world. Week two went well. I didn't have to crawl where the spiders dwell today because I got a really long extension stick with a hook on the end that allows me to reach under houses and buildings and pull the wire to me!! I did a little dance when I found that dandy tool.

I joined a bowling team. It was lots of fun but my hand is crippled because I'm a lefty and all the bowling balls at the alley are drilled for right-handers. I ordered my own ball and will get it drilled the right way. My average is 104... yeah, I know I'm a bad ass.

It starting to drizzle, I guess the rainy season is on its way.

Week Won!!

So I made it through my first week of work. It was great. I love my new job. I get to drive around and stare at the ocean... and do some wiring and telephone stuff too. I had to go to Gig Harbor today for new employee orientation. My new company has great benefits.

We are moving ahead with the house buy. I'm really stoked on that. The sellers agreed to pay half the closing costs. So hopefully we will be moving into our new house by the end of September-middle October.

I think I'm losing weight from the less snacking and more physically moving around. I'm going to start bowling when golf season comes to an end. It rains here occasionally I've been told, so I need a winter sport.

I got new glasses, I like them. This is fun.

Laborial Days

Work starts tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. I've enjoyed my time off but I'm ready to get back. At least it will keep me from impulse-buying so much stuff off the web and blowing cash at the local cardroom.
The weather has been phenomenal (<-sp?) and I've been golfing as much as humanly possible. Well, allow me to qualify that statement; my wife hasn't divorced me so I haven't been golfing THAT much.

Have a good Labor Day!

I love lamp

I love it here.

I am so very happy.

Life is grand.

Eight more days 'till Halloween

Well, it has been quite some time hasn't it? So let's see, since I last soliloquied I have peed in a cup and handed it to a nice doctor-man, cut off all my powerful locks of strength and virtue (yes it's true), and moved about 80% of my home 100 miles west to a giant storage unit. I also won a bunch of money playing poker and I made another par 3 birdie. I will be back soon once we get the broadband going at our new temporary residence. Peace out <-- Kip style

The People's Court

Well, it appears we are about to attain one of our goals. We are soon to be laid-off and the royal visier has projected that we will receive some lovely parting gifts.
Now it's packing time. As life is full of humorous coincidences and ironies our county has deemed our street in need of maintenance. So we get to move the moving trailer... again. Then put it back after the road work is complete.
So we have reduced our existence to the simplest forms. Golf, poker, packing, food, bathing and sleep (not excluding other more obvious bodily functions).

Sunny day, everything's A-OK!!

The buyer accepted our counter to the inspection and we are moving ahead!!
and...
It looks like I got the job I was hoping for as well. It should start in about 4 weeks.
and...
It's time for a little vacation; time to go camping with my wife and dog, time to pack, and of course time to golf.

Turning to sunshine

Well, so far so good with the house... houses. We are waiting for our appraisal of the new place to get scheduled by my lender. And we are waiting (yes you can start a sentence with "and") for the inspection to get scheduled on our Vantucky home. Fingers crossed for no trouble!!
I got a yob interview at the beach next week. I'm stoked. If I get that job I can keep my truck! I love my truck.

A day unlike others

YEEEEEFUUUUCCCCKKKKIIIINNNNNNHHAAAAAA!!!!!!

We sold our house! I can't wait to get this show on the road. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and all will be right with our little piece of the world.

The Morning After

Well, we survived the massive and gratuitous displays of "independence" that bombarded our senses and our home. I'm sick of this place.

Gobblessamericka!!

Happy 3rd of July

It's Impotapenitence Day!!

Tomorrow is the world famous 4th of July party here in Vantucky. I plan on hiding my head 'neath the covers until the noises go away. I think it will be a good nite to rent some DVD's and have a movie-thon with my wife and furry child. Hell, maybe we'll take off tonight and head to the beach.
Damn dirty apes!!

Pentacles

The weather has cooled off considerably. I fully expect to sell my house within the next two weeks. I also expect to make a birdie while golfing tonight. One of those two expectations is realistic and let me tell you it is not the one that has to do with whacking a ball with a crooked stick.
I think I'm going to take KelBel and Skeeter camping next month. I need some away-from-civilization time to gather my thoughts.
I want to go see Superman soon. It looks cool. Also it really looks like an exact remake of the first Superman... hmm, not sure how I feel about that yet. I'll let you know.

Schweaty Balls

Did Relay For Life this last weekend. It was a blast! We stayed up all night and I figure I walked about 15-20 miles on the track. We raised $57,000 as a small community. Nice.
It's really hot. I'm going to drink an ice cold beer when I get home.

Ahoy! Chocolate Chippies.

Long time no blog. Hanks for the mammaries. So long fish. Anyhow, summer is here and that means golf and allergies that I don't have and lawn mowing and restlessly staring out the window at work. Right about now I really wish I had a bunch more vacation to burn. I want to go play with my family and do fun stuff besides being trapped inside a god-forsaken hell hole. I think we might Barbie-Queue sumThing for Rin din dinner 2nite. Mmm, CharBQ goodnesss.

DaVinci Code

Saw DaVinci Code on Sunday. Hmm, well it wasn't as good as the book. Tom Hanks was a bit dry and didn't seem as mentally active as the Langdon in the book. The sets were neat, looked like I imagined from the book. Sylis (<-sp) the albino was very intense and well played. The actor should win an award for that roll. Overall I will watch it again only when it comes on the movie channels on cable.

Aggerlies

I don't have allergies but I do have red, watery, itchy eyes and an overwhelming feeling of drowsiness not unlike that which I'm sure is shared by narcoleptics. I'm sure I'm dehydrated and that's what is causing these issues.
So I bought Diablo II, MMORPG. I have been playing D&D Online but getting kind of burned out on it. Looking for something else to do with my late evening freetime.
I think I'll go eat some milk duds.

X3

Saw X-Men III: The Last Stand, today. It rocked! Stayed pretty true to the books if that's your thing. I like the action and cool superpowers. If I were a mutant my mad skillz would be talking a mile a minute and the very frightening ability to forget anything almost instantly.
Kind of crappy weather at the coast all weekend. It decided to get sunny when Kelli and I were in the movie theater.
I applied for a job that I will talk about after I get it. I hope I get called this week.
Short work week coming up. That's good, I'm getting really tired of my job.
You stay classy, San Diego.

The weekend is in sight

So I was off work for the last two days. Tuesday was on purpose - dentist and doing stuff around the house. Wednesday was the aftermath of staying up too late Tuesday night... hmm. That was stupid. My coworker is practicing his drumming on his desk today. He has rhythm, something I lack severely. One of my other coworkers gave me the OK to kill him with my 6 iron (I keep one at work to practice my golf swing). He said I should hit him in the temple but I better make it a good one. If it doesn't do the trick on the first whack he's coming after me. Looking forward to this weekend. Poker game Saturday night, heading to the coast Sunday to see family and hopefully go golfing. I'm practicing my blogging. I suppose I'll have to share the link with people if I want to find out how I'm doing.

Enlightened weights

So me and Jesus were doing back and biceps at the gym the other day and in walks Buddha. He sits down in the middle of the workout equipment and starts to whistle. I was like what are you doing? He said he was waiting for Vishnu because they were supposed to 'max out' on bench press today. I was like dude, don't you know yesterday was Cinco de Mayo? He was like yeah, so? I said well Vishnu is in jail with Tom Cruise. Buddha jumped up and shouted "WTF!" I said yeah, they got drunk on Mezcal and flew to Salt Lake City. They decided it would be funny to spray a giant picture of George W. Bush on the Mormon tabernacle. Buddha was like, huh? George Bush, so? I said the picture portrayed the commander in chief performing oral sex on a Scud missile. The caption below this appalling illustration read "I swallow... the truth." Needless to say the authorities and Chuck Norris did not find this amusing. Jack Bauer from CTU was able to get the charges dropped to criminal mischief fortunately and they would be getting out on bail in a day or two. Anyhow, Looking at Buddha and nodding towards Jesus, I said I thought we should head out to the local brewpub and grab a nice cold beer! I didn't feel much like working out. The gods incarnate slapped high-fives and we made our way to the door. That was one hell of a Saturday.
