Alas, the First of May has come and gone and little has changed. Been doing a bit less of roller skating, but that's mostly due to training days and Interskate re-surfacing. I move starting next week and I've done a whole lot of nothing so far. I hate moving so bad. Really.

This past week was brutal, but not necessarily bad. Thursday and Friday gave ( Read more... )

Given the comments on my last post, apparently I've changed for the better, seemingly thanks to derby. I wasn't trolling for comments or encouragement, honest. Well, at least regarding that part. I am still wicked curious over what the hell it is with vendors assuming that I'm the significant other of my female friends whenever I'm at Renaissance ( Read more... )

Apparently my boss has had some sort of windfall as of late, because he's not been a complete dick for the past couple weeks. Not only was my vacation time in July approved, but I actually am being allowed to go to water laboratory training next week. Of course, I'm going on my own time and I'm not getting paid OT for it, but I'm more concerned ( Read more... )

My lease is ending in May. I've not yet heard anything about being transferred to the other water plant. The cynic is assuming that I'm never going to get transferred, possibly specifically because I expressed an interest in being transferred. Nevertheless, I'm still wanting to move closer to everything I do except work. I just don't know if it's ( Read more... )

What on Earth is happening to me? Two weekends in a row and I've actually been busy? Poor Mango. Despite my best efforts to play with him a little bit each day, I feel that he's becoming a widow to something that under normal circumstances might actually resemble a social life.

This was my four day weekend and I actually spent a lot of it out of the ( Read more... )

It's been an interesting start to the weekend. Instead of coming home and going to sleep shortly afterwards, I decided to go to Cafe Brazil to eat breakfast (only because we don't have a Kiev in Dallas and a thousand geek points to whoever gets that reference). This in and of itself isn't out of the ordinary, as I usually do this once every month ( Read more... )

To be honest, I didn't do a whole hell of a lot. It did start out pretty damn good right out of the gate. Wednesday morning involved breakfast and coffee at Cafe Brazil with tornadoali  just before she had to go to work and just after I'd ended my shift. It was a very fun kind of "I had it, you got it" turnover.

Thursday was all kinds of awesomesauce because ( Read more... )

These past few days have been downright heavenly. It's in the 70s during the day, and the 60s during the night. The windows have been opened and the A/C turned off. Throw in the full moon and it's just that much better. Though the weather does make me miss living up north, or at least somewhere that actually has four seasons. This kind of weather ( Read more... )

If all work and no play make Jack a dull boy, what do you get with all play and no work? My weekend, that's what.

Oi, it's been some time since I last updated. Part of that's because I was down in San Antonio and Victoria last weekend, part of it's because I'm in a fog because of the constant readjustment of sleep schedules for the past several days (Last Sun-Tue was night shift, then day shift for Wed-Sun, then night shift again for Monday-Wed, then I've got ( Read more... )
