Soooo, Beowulf... (sorry ben)
Back again, sorry for the looooooooong absence, but things have been a bit on the nutty side. Let's see, since last we met, my home has been (nearly) transformed. It is now 90% green, and NOT PINK. It is so important for me that my house is NOT PINK. I notice that my last post was in August, so it was before my birthday. I am now officially a quarter century old. No big deal was made about my birthday, for which I am grateful. People should stop making your birthday a big deal at about 13, with a notable exception for the 21st birthday (Thanks Mikey, I'll never forget the 500 people I didn't know at my 21st). Anyway, the trials and tribulations of my life continue. Thought I had a good lead on a job working for NYISO, but that fell through. The bastards had the courtesy to fly me to Pittsburgh for testing first, though, so at least I got a little vacation out of it. I stayed at the Omni William Penn Hotel, a lovely establishment where Ben Seymour apparently has stayed in the past. Ben claims to be intimately farmiliar with the ballroom there, and we shall take that string of discussion no further.
Made it through fire prevention month with little or no emotional scarring, which is always a plus. Every day that goes by, though, it gets harder and harder to deal with the idiots in my life. Brian S., Joe P., The Friday Night Duty Crew, and anyone pretty much named "Stevens" are all walking all over the ever so thin line that is my patience. I know, you're all saying, "But Bob, you're such a cool, level-headed, patient, and understanding guy. How could you get angry at anyone?" To which I reply, "You're all full of shit, but I love you for saying it anyway." I have pretty much come to the conclusion that the gene pool needs to have it's filter changed, and a little pool shock wouldn't hurt a bit. I have recently applied for a new job, one that I think will bring me even greater joy than before. I want the position of COSMIC BESTOWER O' JUSTICE. I will have a big stick (think "Walking Tall") with "JUSTICE" written on the side, and I will bestow justice upon those who have proved themselves deserving of it. I will have a sign on my door that says "BOB JEWELL", and under that "CBO'J". Also business cards. I also might take a side job smiting the unworthy, but it depends on time constraints.
Well, I beleive I have wasted enough of your time and mine, so I'll see you soon, and hopefully soon I'll have some good news to report here.
Thanks for playing, and we've got a lovely copy of the home game for you.
P.S. - If you are a fireman, get to the library or bookstore and read "The Last Men Out" by Tom Downey. A MUST READ!
