Thanksgiving week already?

My word, it's Thanksgiving week already. Hard to believe it, but it's just a few days away. And much like millions of other people, I will be traveling to visit family for the holiday.

April and I will be driving to Louisville after I get off of work on Wednesday. We'll be down there until some time on Saturday.

This years holiday festivities will include a big dinner at my grandmotherss house on Thursday. By big, I mean lots of people, and even more food. You name it, we will have it to eat.

As far as people are concerned, the regular bunch will be there, with the addition of some cousins from Indianapolis, and of course, April and myself. I must make that distinction because I'm not always able to be there for the big events that take place. Like this coming Christmas, for instance.

Anyway, I will probably post more on the holiday travel plans at a later time. I am going to try to take a bunch of pictures of the family, and will post some when I get back.

All for now. Ciao!

It's Monday already?

Oh man, is it really Monday already? Good lord the weekend went by way too fast for my likings.

I had the hardest time getting out of bed this morning; if you had to be up at 3:00 A.M. every morning, to be at work at 4:30 A.M. you'd have a hard time too. Getting to sleep last night was not the easiest thing to do either, thanks to a terrible headache that I had been fighting most of the evening. I'm really tired of the headaches I battle with on an almost daily basis.

Not totally sure what all will be going on today, but I do know that once I get off work, I'm going to find food, and then go home and hit the sack for a while.

More later.

Thank God it's over

I am eternally thankful that the elections are finally over, and that my work and sleep schedule can finally get back to some degree of normality. What ever normal may be.

I have a whole lot that I want to recap about the elections and the last week as a whole, but at this moment, I just can't put it all in to a perspective that makes sense to me. Maybe in the coming days, I will be able to share the many thoughts that I have about it all, but for now, it will have to wait.

Just my luck

Well, I had a feeling it would happen. Despite my best efforts of getting out of coming back to work tonight, to deal with the election bullshit, I still have to come back in here, and work all night. Damn it!

I'm rather tired this morning, and lord knows I will be dead after working both this morning and then all night tonight. I really wish I could get out of coming in here, because I'm still not feeling the greatest, and am tired as can be. It is a challenge to type and keep my eyes open as I am sitting here now. I will definitely be going home and taking a nap when I get off work in a few hours.

I still believe that I will simply be in the way, and will be spending most of my time this evening sitting on my duff, staring at the walls, tv, etc...
I really hope that my boss is correct in assuming that I will be in great demand, and that the supply of things to do will be great. I really hate the thought of coming back in here to work all night, with the thought of there being nothing for me to do but sit here and twiddle my thumbs. We shall certainly see what happens.

Anyway, I'm going to stop bitching for right now. I'm sure there will be more posts on this subject later in the day. Bleh :-P

How's it going to work?

A co-worker and I have been talking this morning about how election night should be handled. At this point, we know that this place is going to be packed full of people working on reporting the election results, etc... Well, here in the library, there are only four computers; three computers have all the software needed, and one does not. This creates a problem, in that there will be too many people here, and not enough workstations for all of us.

My co-worker and I have agreed that there is really no need for me to come in tomorrow night, because I will basically be sitting here with nothing to do. Now, I don't mind getting paid for sitting around, doing nothing. But, if there is no place for me to work, why ask me to come in?

So you tell me, how in the hell is this going to work?

Election Headache

With the elections only a day away, I find myself in a severe state of dread; the thought of having to work my regular shift Tuesday morning, and then return for an all-night shift Tuesday night, is down-right sickening to me.

Since the elections have to be covered and results have to be reported, nearly everyone will be here at work tomorrow night. My fellow webmaster and I will be busting our tails to get all of the election stories and results posted, on top of getting Wednesday mornings's newspaper posted as usual.

I am hoping to get out of here as early as 4:30 - 5:00 am Wednesday morning. We will see what happens. Needless to say, I will be extremely tired and will definitely be rather irritable by the time I get to go home.

More on this later.

John Kerry on Imus in the Morning 11/1/06

Thank you Don Imus, for saying what everyone else was thinking. John Kerry's big mouth is going to fuck up the Democrats shot of regaining control.

John, listen to Don Imus, and shut the fuck up.

I'm can be snotty too

This has been another one of those weeks that I could really do without. I've been in a terrible mood, and most of that has to do with the fact that I have a bad cold.
Now, I can be just as snotty as any one else, but this isn't what I had in mind.

I started feeling this cold coming on shortly before I went to Louisville a couple of weeks ago, and since I returned it's gone full blown cold. I've been so congested it's not funny. I have breathing problems anyway, and this really isn't helping. Thankfully, I have been able to get things under some state of control, and have been able to keep working, and doing all the things I have to get done. Thanks to NyQuil, I have been sleeping well.

NyQuil is my friend.

Got a lot of stuff going on this week too. Had meetings with potential clients yesterday, and look forward to hearing back from them as to whether they will be contracting with me to complete their web development projects. More on that later.

Testimony/Joy Comes In The Morning

This one man's testimony embodies the message that I had orginally hoped to share through this blog. No matter how bad things are, we must continue to believe. Dan Miller never quit.
