Evil Lincoln's BACK!!!!
Ok you smelly hippies. Put down your crack pipes and your beer bongs and listen up....
I think it's been too long since I've done anything on here. Damn, it's been almost two months and not a peep out of me. It's not like nothing worth writing about happened to me; more like there was too much happening and I was on the fence whether I could make it funny or not. I'm kind of disappointed in myself to tell you the truth. I'll try to be better about updating. It may not be everyday like I used to, but I think I can swing once a week. I still reserve the right to use pointless filler if I so choose. Also, don't expect me to backtrack. Most of what I'm dealing with is still in progress, so when it resolves and I share the conclusion, then I'll go back and explain. Until then, February and March do not exist. This might suck; I'm out of practice.
So today I did nothing, and it was everything I hoped it would be. I've been totally stressed out lately, mostly from work, so I decided to take a Mental Health Day™ before I went postal or catatonic. I wasn't willing to find out which I'd hit first. I couldn't have picked a better day. Sunny and 65º outside. I slept till 9, did my morning thing, stopped by the rental office at 10:30 to pay the rent and pick up some packages, then met Becca at her office before we headed out to lunch. Actually, I was early, so I walked around Best Buy for a while before I stopped in. I'll tell you, if the new R&D facility is half as nice as her office, we will be pretty well set. It was so beautiful in there! No peeling floors, no exposed pipes, and no asbestos in the walls. It was like paradise compared to the pit we work in. After that we headed out to lunch at John Harvard's. As expected, it was the same as the one on LI, except they didn't have the IPA that I wanted. Oh well, no better time to broaden one's horizons. And I always have a good time with Becca. It was good to see her again.
For some reason, Becca only gets an hour for lunch, whereas we at Building L get however long we want, so I dropped her off at the acid mines and continued my day of nothing. I played some Warcraft with my newly revamped priest and it feels exactly the same as my old priest. I know they changed a bunch of stuff, but I play her exactly the same and get the same results. That got boring quick, so I watched Ron White's new DVD, "You Can't Fix Stupid". That man is a riot. Everyone go buy it right now. I couldn't help myself from laughing out loud for what seemed to be the entire 45 minutes and he made a very good point: Don't marry for looks alone because you can fix saggy boobs & beer guts with surgery, but you can't fix stupid. Words to live by. I then rearranged my DVD collection again because no matter how much my collection expands, I really don't want to buy more storage units. I'm like a kid that hides the broccoli in his napkin. Word to the wise, don't open the left hand side of my entertainment center. Last Action Hero might leap out at you and it always goes for the neck. And I vacuumed, but only a little. Hey, I didn't want the day to be a TOTAL waste!
Oh, did I mention I don't have to go to Wyeth on Friday now because of my Mental Health Day™? Yep, since I already have too much stuff to take care of back at the ranch and I wouldn't have the day before to prepare for the ordeal, Ben2 gets to go in my stead. I'm very happy with how this played out, but it also gives me pause. If I'm that happy to get out of one trial on one day with one customer, could I really take a job that would have me doing it all the time? Maybe Millipore isn't that bad. My performance is increasing and things are ok at work, so why not stay? I want to see this new building, and not just on the outside.
Now I'd like to end our time together by sharing some insanity with y'all. Becca turned me onto the Broadway musical Avenue Q via the soundtrack and one of the funniest songs on there is "The Internet Is For Porn". When I first did a search for it, I found this, a World of Warcraft video set to the music. I've yet to see the actual play (probably this summer), but until I do, this is what I think of when I hear the song. Enjoy!
Oops, one last thing if I may. I'd like to give a shout out to Ben1 and his relatively new blog about stuff...and things...and junk.
