A Temporary Fill In

It has been a pretty slow week which as with all things in life has its own list of pros and cons. However I get depressed whenever I look at that last post so until I give myself time to think about putting a new one together, here is a good cop out. Even though Cyclops is cool, I have to admit that unlike me he (at least in the movie) is a bit of a wuss. I guess nobody's perfect, even super human mutants.

You Are Cyclops

Dedicated and responsible, you will always remain loyal to your cause. You are a commanding leader - after all, you can kill someone just by looking at them. Power: force beams from your eyes

Which of the X-Men Are You?

Sure Signs of a Bad Day

You know you're having a bad day when...

1. Your boss yells at you to call 911, without you knowing where he is, what is going on, or why you are dialing in an emergency.

2. You screw up a buildings electrical service badly enough to potentially start a major electrical fire.

3. You find out that while you were trying to burn down the building you fried many expensive electronic machines, including tv's, stoves, computers, and the like. Exact damage unknown but likely in the thousands.

4. You are so shaken/upset/angry at yourself that the thought of retying a ladder to the top of a van starts you crying.

5. And (for some people) having your boss say nothing at all, good or bad, so you have no idea what is going through his mind.


Ways that same day could have been worse...

1. It could have been raining.

2. You could have been shocked seriously, or hurt someone inside.

3. You could have started an actual electrical fire.

4. You could have been fired on the spot.

5. You would have had to replace everything out of pocket instead of being covered by your employers insurance.

May none of you ever have a day like that. Oy vei!

An Uninterested Update

There is a reason why I'm updating, but it has nothing to do with comments or wanting to tell news. I just happen to be tired of looking at the same three lines at the top of the page. So to take their place here is something new.

Since last week, I have been working for my cousin. Now I still have the same employer, he just doesn't have enough work to keep me busy so I'm being rented out. Now this is the same cousin who got me started as an electrician two year ago, so we know each other fairly well and get along very well. He is also a pastor and as such doesn't work a typical forty hour work week, thus a very big change of pace as the last four month have been an almost constant march of overtime work weeks. I for one have been enjoying it.

Also to mix things up a little bit, my condo buddy has moved south for the month so I have the place all to myself. It certainly has its perks, but at the same time there are certain things I miss being all by myself.

And to wrap things up, I actually got to ride my brothers motorcycle this weekend! I can finally say that I have actually ridden a bike, not just toodled around a parking lot. Not much, but enough to get a taste for it. Maybe next summer I'll be writing about buying my own. We'll see.
