OK... I'm already bored...

The Christmas holiday and following New Years holiday are parked closely to a couple of weekends this year which tempted me to take some vacation to stretch out some "off work" days. I fell into this trap and now I am beginning to feel the boredom set in. I'm off for 12 consecutive days.
I have enjoyed Christmas with my family so far, but the niece and nephew want to spend time with their grandparents and the new Nintendo DS games and my brother is pounding away at his laptop working on a big contract he has to complete. Charlie and I are just hanging out with nothing much to do.
I suppose when you are single and don't have those family obligations there's a lot more free time. While some would envy me, let me tell you... I wish I had something to do. All my favorite Charity groups are all shut down for the holiday and many of my friends are traveling or spending time with their family from far away, so I guess there's not much choice.
Maybe it's a good time to straighten up the shop and get started on a project...

Goodbye convention center...

The RCA Dome where I have attended Fire Service conventions for the past 10 years has lost the battle. There is a video on Youtube that shows the action.
There is a brand new stadium they built for the Colts and we will continue our trade show in that dome.
It just won't be the same...

Inner peace...

Some doctor on television this morning said the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started. So I looked around my house to see things I'd started and hadn't finished and, before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of shhhardonay, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of vocka, a pockage of Prunglies, tha mainder of bot Prozic and Valum scriptins, the res the Chesescke an a box chocolets.

Someone find my energy. Please...

For the past 6 days I have been sicker than I can remember. I have an intestinal infection that almost pounded me to a pulp. I was so bad when I got to the doctors office on Thursday morning that they had to give me an injection for the pain just so I could be coherent enough to answer questions and be examined. I laid on my sofa in a Darvocet haze for 4 days before it finally let up but I did make it to work today. Good thing since my new boss was in town.
Holy crap on a cracker...

Where the hell am I...

Look. It's me.
Months have gone by since I posted up a entry but things have been a little weird. All of us who work at my company have to watch out what we say and what we do on these blogs. It wouldn't be good if someone higher up didn't like something I have to say.
Sometimes it's hard to be good...
