Nice day outside

Me and Pedro spent the afternoon outside today. He played and I raked. The yard is half done now. I filled another five bags of leaves before calling it quits for the day. I'm not raking past the shed though because past that is pretty much dirt. It's only ten or so feet so it's a small section of the yard. I'll get the other half done someday I guess.

Homie's back

Well, the Homie and me time pretty much worked out the way I planned it.

Sunday the washer and dryer came and while connecting the washer to the pipe the valve busted. The valve gets shut enough so that it is just a drip. I give the landlord a call and have him come by to look at it because some Einstein award winner decided to put it right behind the water heater. He comes by and we decide that one of his workers will come by in the morning to get the water heater moved and the valve replaced thus cutting into my time. Oh, and it will be 7:30 when he comes by.

Monday comes around and the valve gets changed by 9:00. I put in a movie and fall asleep. Sometime after noon I wake up long enough to put in another movie. I finally wake up after five and manage to stay awake the rest of the night.

Tuesday I drag myself out of bed and get that thing sent off to the weekender in Florida. Other than laundry and some dishes I didn't do anything else productive. I did break down and play some football on line for a bit.

I'm going to take Homie and me time more often.

On Saturday I went to the BX and picked up stuff and while I was there I went ahead and got a haircut. I know what your thinking, "A haircut at the BX? Do you not know how not good they are at that stuff?" I figured you can't mess up the kind of cut I want too bad.

In an attempt to limit my dealings with people

In an effort to keep from having to put up with people today I bought a washer and dryer. I figure it will be handy because now I can do cloths when I feel like doing them and not when I feel like going out to do them. Just not quite sure how I feel about having spent the money on them.

I was supposed to be home in Indy right now but somewhere along the week I decided that I needed some Homie and me time. It just seems like I'm always talking to people or just having to deal with things. I know that I live alone and that should be enough to balance things out but it's not. In an effort to not have to see, talk to or deal with people I am going to turn the phone off on Monday and Tuesday. I do have to take something and get it sent down to the weekender that left it here his last UTA weekend. Other than that I'm not doing shit. If I feel that I need outside conversation I will hook the Halo up and shoot some bastard kids. It's going to be so nice. I haven't had one of these weekends in damn near three years.

I know that I said I was going to link the paper here so that you could read what I do but the water head that runs the web is, I don't know, either unwilling to or uncapable of doing his job. That is probably why the supervisor and I are going to take Front Page and HTML classes in the next town over for a week next month. The wing uses Fron Page for the sight and I just feel the need to know a bit more about HTML. I bet it will come in handy one day. Your tax dollars hard at work. Thanks Guys.

Do I have enough work?

Today the supervisor asked me if I thought I had enough work. I told her that when I was doing all of the stupid stuff of fixing the history book and whatever other stupid things the boss lady wanted me to do that I had plenty of work, granted I didn't work on it too fast A: because I feel that is a stupid thing to have B: I had other stupid stuff to do in the office, but now that I'm done with it I don't have much to do. She also said that the airman thought that I would come in and take over the paper, that's what he was hoping. I told her that I want my 5 level before I take it over (I don't have, nor are they ordered, my CDCs). Maybe I'll think about it if I get those. I did tell her that the people in school told me I was pretty good with the Page Maker back in the day though.

I wasn't in a good mood today to start with but when the boss lady had me do something it just really upset me. I had to put something together about our retired commander, yes more stupid stuff. I myself think that since officers need to have bios then they should already have them put together in the right format. That's what secretaries are for, right? Not to mention he's retired. I got it done though. When my supervisor got back from a photo shoot she noticed I wasn't happy. I didn't tell her anything though. We know I don't talk about things.

I think I ran a red light today, and by the guy behind me honking when I did it I think it was good and red. People's driving skills here suck ass. First, let me say that the speed limit is the speed you need to be going. Don't worry if there is a cop up ahead, they'll let you go the speed limit, even faster to a point. I don't know how many cars where infront of me but the SUV kept tapping his breaks all of the way down the street. Of course I was right there and finally stupid ass turned and I kept going. That's when the car behind me honked. I looked in the rear view and shrugged. Little further down the road I looked back and seen the stop lights back there. Oh well.

When did this become a sport?

So there I was going through the channel guide when I came across the Olympics. I'm currious, which event is on? It was curling. That is the sport where one person slides some thing down a lave of ice while two other people sweep the ground in front of it. Yes, I watched it. Come on now it was USA and Japan females. For being the leas fisical sport, second only to chess, it can be interesting to watch. Interesting as in hillarious to watch a group of people discuss just the right way to get the thing where they want it. Japan ended up beating the USA in the end.

Think the dog is doing better at night. Either that or I've just been able to sleep through him. It's been a bit chilly the last couple of days, and by chilly I do mean just below freezing, so going out and coming right back in in the morning and night hasn't been a problem.

Still not quiet all night

Thursday night Pedro did the whining thing to get out of the kennel thing again. So this time I let him go out. When he came in and went for the bedroom I picked him up and put him back into the kennel. He stayed there untill I woke up at my normal time for work.

Last night he stayed in the kennel and I'm not real sure if he cried at his normal time or not because I shut the door. He should have been ok because he went out at 11:30 or so. I did let him out when I got up to turn on the lizard light and then let him stay in the bed.

I have the timer for the lizard light working so I shouldn't have to wake up so early tomorrow morning. I 'll still get up earlier than normal to let Pedro out. I have to do some things any ways.

Today I took him to Petsmart so I could get crickets. I held him most of the time we where in there. I put him down when I got the crickets and he did pretty good. There was a pretty big dog next to us in line and Pedro not being scared of anything went right up to it. On the way out he did hike his leg up and go for the anti-theft sensor at the door, just after someone mentioned how cute he was. He go carried out without making a mess.

You better sleep all night tonight

So there I was sound asleep when I hear a whining coming from the living room. I wake up thinking that Pedro has to go outside real bad. When I open his kennel he darts into the bedroom. I called him back into the living room and was getting ready to put his collar on so we could go outside when I heard Flashback Guy outside yelling yet again. Needless to say I didn't take the dog out and he got to come to bed with me so he would be quiet.

When I woke up at my normal time and took him out Flashback Guy came out and started yelling. I'm guessing it was at me. He mumbled a couple of words and I caught "Bastards." I'm not real sure what was going on except he might have thought that I was one of the neighbor kids that hang out in his yard durring the day. Not quite sure why he wouldn't yell at them then, but he's got one more time to yell at me for being in my yard. I don't care how old and crazy he is.

Gotta quit breaking stuff

I tried to post last night but I pressed the wrong button or something and erased it.

Yesterday as I was walking out of the house I felt a tug. When I got to the car to put my backpack in it I noticed that the wire to my headphones wasn't connected to the MP3 player. When I went back into the house the wire was hanging from a strike plate of the door, but the headphone part wasn't there. Turns out they where still in the backpack. It sucks, I had to buy a new pair.

I also took a little trip to the commissary yesterday. I guess I thought I could miss the pay day crowd. Apparently quite a few other people had the same idea because it wasn't any less crowded than it normally is. I should shop somewhere else. Going to that place just wears me out.

Today was pretty uneventfull. I put in for leave on Monday and Tuesday since Lori will be here. I could work on Tuesday because she has to be at the airport at like eight or something but I think I'll be at the gym most of the afternoon trying to work off the weekend eating we'll be doing.

While I was taping a box to put in the storage room a bit ago the tape dispenser slipped or something and caught my toe. It didn't hurt or bleed real quick but man there was quite a bit of blood. It looks more like a gauge than a cut. We'll see how it holds up tomorrow when it will be in boots all day and getting run on ni the afternoon. On the other foot there is a bruise under my big toe nail. I'm not real sure how that happened since I don't remember what I dropped on it being that heavy.

That's the one good thing about my job so far. I leave everyday at three to work out. So far it's not a problem. We'll see how long it lasts.
