Bye Greg

Maddux traded.


Thanks for the last couple of years. I'll miss you, hope you make the playoff's and even win the World Series. I also hope you consider coming back for one more try.

Good luck.

Things Learned

Just because you call and set up an appointment doesn't mean that you have an appointment for that time.

God* hates hipsters.

5 beers in 2 hours in 100 degree heat and no water doesn't do the body good.

Sometimes a 5 minute nap can last 12 hours.










* all of them are incorporated here. Choose your religon and go with that.

Java

The nice lady at the 7-11 would not let me spend part of my $20 on coffee this morning because she insisted that my $20 bill was fake. The $20 bill that I got from the ATM. At my bank. I thought she was joking with me. I go into her store at least twice a week. When I realized she was serious, and wasn't going to take that bill, I calmly told her that I have my wallet out in the car and I would be right back.

I just left instead.

I hate not having coffee, instead today I am having Coka-Cola Classic. Not. Even. Close.

I think I need to give some credit, yesterday's post was taken out of this month's Playboy.

Here is a picture of Sam the Snail.

That Stinks

So I stopped for gas on my way into work today. It was a prepay station so I went in, opened my wallet and asked for $5.

The attendant farted, handed me a receipt and said 'Thanks'

So Busy

Upcoming events:

Trip to wonderfull Cleveland, OH - TBA, but within the next 2 or 3 weeks.
Pitchfork Music Fest
Hands on Cooking Class with my Girlfriend
Trip to Madison, WI for an evening with Ween
Trip to St. Louis for pre-season NFL Football, work related.

Keep clicking, nothing to see here.

I really don't have much to say here today.

I am super busy here at work. Tomorrow morning I will be at the local Fox studio. I have a backlog of work that need to be completed here at the office. Most of which I am the only person in my office qualified to actually do the work.

Since I won't be in the office too much tomorrow, I'll be staying here until at least 7PM tonight. Then I'll be at the studio very early.

Someday I hope to get back to posting funny or thoughtful things. until that day comes you'll just have to read the rubbish I type.

It Hot

so hot I feel like I am melting.

I saw this on the interweb today. Why?

Someone peed on the toliet seat here. We have 2 urinals, and the freaking seats on the toliets go up just like at home, but some idiot decided to pee on said seat instead of simply lifting it and then washing his hands after. This is the second time in as many weeks.

Happy Birthday

To my youngest sister. It has been a quick 14 years.

I hope you have a great day.

Love,
Your Big brother.

Bathroom Behavior.

So every few months a few outside sales guys gather at my building for meetings, training on new machines, goal setting, etc. I don't normally cross paths with these people except for one place. The Men's 2nd Floor Bathroom.

I really wish I could go visit these guy's offices. I would love to have a few minutes alone in their bathrooms. Then I could pee on their floor, use their toliet (for #2) and not flush, throw used hand towls onto the floor and not in the 'open top' garbage can that is right there next to the door.

Also, please don't start chatting with me while standing next to me at the urinal. It just isn't cool. What type of response are you looking for when you stroll up, unzip and ask. "How's it going?"

Some answers I have given this week:

"Fine, except for the burning."
"How do you work this thing anyway?"
"I could use some help with this."
"Not so good, I'm stuck in the zipper. And there is blood"
"Oh my god, have you ever seen anything like this before?"
"Ahhh, that feels sooooooo gooood"

Go tell it to Sweeny

My new phone is here, but I wasn't home to sign for it which means I'll be driving to Skokie to get it.

My car is done, but it is so far away I don't think I'll be able to get it until the weekend. Thankfully my sister doesn't need her car for anyhing and is letting me drive it.

I get (have) to go down to St. louis next month. Only I don't know if it is one day, overnight, or 3 days. nor does anyone involved. The state is named 'misery' for a reason. Check that, travel is approved for the 3 day trip. Crap.

I am excited to have a lot of live rock music in my future. The Pitchfork Music Fest at the end of the month, and Ween in Madison, WI the following Thursday.

My sister's birthday is this Thursday.

I still have not been to a Major league baseball game this year. And it is killing me.

Looking back

I spent the entire weekend with The Girlfriend and her family. We jetted out of the city shortly after dawn on Saturday, and snuck back in late Sunday. Monday, I slept in, went to a very funny 'chick flick', and ate sushi for dinner. Tuesday I woke up early with the thought of 'what the hell am I going to do about my car, and the situation at the office' running through my head.

All day.

I got a ride home around 6 and as soon as I knew I was home for good, I wished I had stayed where I was 20 minutes before.
