Second Job

Along with the new house comes a second job.  I’ve had it for about 2 months now, but I just started it today.  Christle and I are cleaning my parents church for some extra money.  It’s kinda weird, because Christle’s been cleaning our church for free for so many years.  I got to listen to my iPod while I was cleaning, and it was really not that bad.  I’ve been going non-stop for the past few days and I was kinda hoping for a break.  I think I’ve got a little one coming this weekend, if only for half a day.

You’ve Got To Love Drunks

I got this in an email and had to post something funny

A man and his wife are awakened at 3 o’clock in the morning by a loud pounding on the door…….. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push.
“Not a chance,” says the husband, “It is three o’clock in the morning.” He slams the door and returns to bed.

“Who was that?” asked his wife.

“Just some drunken guy asking for a push,” he answered.

“Did you help him?” she asked.

“No. I did not. It is three o’clock in the morning and it is pouring rain outside!!”

His wife said, “Can’t you remember about three months ago when we broke down and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself!”

The man did as he is told (of course!), got dressed and went out into the pouring rain. He called out into the dark, “Hello! Are you still there?”

“Yes,” came back the answer.

“Do you still need a push?” called out the husband.

“Yes, please!” replied the drunken man from the wet darkness.

“Where are you?” asks the husband.

“Over here on the swing!”

The Grooviest Motel in Wisconsin

I have to admit… this is just one of the dumbest, funniest things I’ve read through in a while. If you don’t find it funny within the first few dozen pages, try starting over and reading the commentary out loud. I almost died from lack of oxygen this afternoon I was laughing so hard. You can see it by clicking HERE.
Please let me know that I’m not the only one laughing at this.

School Work vs. Home Work

I lucked out this week.  I finished with one of my course’s assignments for the week on Monday night, and the other course I’m taking is giving us two weeks to finish the lesson we’re on, so I don’t have to spend too much time worrying about a deadline this weekend.
The best thing about that is that we’re hoping to finish working on the house this weekend.  I’m so excited about making the move that I don’t want anything to get in the way of it.  I made sure that I had all of my school work out of the way before this weekend, and now I’m way ahead.
I wish I had this kind of motivation all of the time, because it feels really good to have it done almost a week before it’s due.  (I’ve already gotten a perfect score on each one of my assignments for the week.

Alarm Clock Followup

I didn’t need my backups…
Apparently during the night I turned the volume of my clock down the night before last.  When I went to check the volume last night, I couldn’t hear it because the volume was all the way down.
I guess it’s a good idea to just carry backup every night.

Alarm Clocks

I set my alarm last night for 6:22am this morning.  I don’t remember noticing it go off.  My alarm stays on until you push the button.  The sun woke me up at 7:35am this morning, and I was at work at 7:50am.
I had a long day, no lunch, and am going to bed now.  I feel good about my accomplishments today, so there’s no hard feelings toward the alarm, but I’m bringing in backups tonight for tomorrow morning.  I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Catching Up

I’m getting caught up on a lot of things.  It feels good to get things done and behind you.
I can’t wait to move.  I’m looking forward to it greatly.  I just hope my work situation gets better instead of worse.  I’m moving farther away from Houston, but there’s a chance I may be working IN downtown Houston, instead of where I currently work.  It’s supposed to be just temporary, but some plans don’t go the way you want them to.
I’m looking forward to catching up with some old friends and making our old friendships current.  I hope living closer will make it a little easier to maintain relationships.
I can’t wait for teleporters to be introduced to the market…

Revamping

I’ve been revamping the setup of my entire web portfolio, barring this one.  No, this one will stay right where it is.
The rest of it is getting reorganized, though.  I’m moving stuff around… which means that I basically have to recreate a lot of it, as the location of the scripts and pages are referenced in the databases, which are also moving.   I can’t help it, they have to move.
I’ve registered my domain through 2011.  I figure if Google, or any other search engine out there, likes to consider the registration length in the relevance of their searching algorythms, then I better have a longer future than just one year.
My future is looking brighter.  I haven’t felt this good about my future in a while now.  Do you ever remember those moments in life where you feel like you’re in a rut.  I’ve felt like that for over 3 years, up until the past few weeks.
I’m starting school 2 weeks from today.  Nervous… Excited… Curious…   I can’t wait.
How’s that rambling to start the week off?

Cleaning Up

We spent most of the day cleaning out my Aunt Leona’s house.  She’s still alive, but it’s a little complicated to explain.
She had bank records from 1969, at least that was the earliest date I saw.  She is a major pack-rat.  I used to think I had a problem with not letting stuff go.  I am a big waster compared to her.  It was really cool to see people who signed her memory book and the makeshift yearbook.  It looks like she graduated in the mid-thirties.
The house is in great shape.  They really kept it up well.
Oh, well.  I just wanted to log what I was up to today.
