Its Here!

The New Laptop

Finally! Its here. Wahoooo! You’d think I’d never seen a laptop before the way I tore thru the boxes to get in unwrapped. I know I shouldn’t be so excited over something so materialistic. You have to remember though, I’ve been putting it off for YEARS! Finally, I get what I want for a change.

Of course, I blew off the gym to spend the whole morning tweaking it, installing stuff, and getting it just right. I also realized my webcam sucks! What a crappy picture. (The ex got the digital camera in the split) Well, I can add that to the bottom of the list. Lord knows, I’ll be busy working my butt off to pay for this little gem here. I don’t mind though. It will get used alot and I promise to ring every ounce of enjoyment out of it that I can!

…and continuing the gym trend

I’m just continuing the rants from Dunner and Jimbo.

I must admit, I dread going to the gym around the first of the year. Every Sam, Tom, Dick, and Harry is in the gym trying to “get back in shape” for the new year. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for getting in shape. Actually, I wish more people did. The sad truth is that most have never set foot in a gym and go about blindly unaware they making life miserable for everyone else. So, I only have just a few more jumble tips to add.

Feel free to dance your butt off to every song playing. Everyone really thinks your cool.
Feel free to sing out loud your greatest hits compilation from your ipod, cd player, etc. Your singing skills (or lack thereof) are always appreciated.
Use curt smartass remarks for anyone trying to prevent you from injuring yourself from using free weights in the most inappropriate manner possible.
And lastly, don’t bother wiping off your gallons of sweat from the benches. After all, only real men sweat and you are a man right?

Ok, was that sarcastic enough? I’m totally gym friendly and I try to respect everyone’s right to be there. However, that also includes remembering that I’m not the only person working out and maybe my actions may affect someone else. Just a thought…

Holiday – oops!

Since I’m working, I’ll keep this short. [1]I’m posting via email so if it comes out screwy I’ll fix it later..

Tonight is a big night for drunk driver fatalities. I ask you, PLEASE, if you get toasty, call a cab, walk, take the bus, whatever it takes. Don’t drive drunk. And if you are in SF, the police are out in force tonight doing random stops so that goes double for my fellow SF’cans.

Have fun but be safe!

I Got Hit by a Bus Today

Seriously folks, I can’t make this stuff up. I was hit by a Muni bus today. Not seriously obviously as I wouldn’t be here ranting away.

I’m out and about doing some last minute errands and I’m walking across the street behind a Muni bus that is blocking the intersection. (If you’ve ever been to SF, a bus in the middle of the intersection stopped is no real surprise. I think Muni drivers get their licenses’ at Costco) So suddenly the bus starts backing up and BAM! Knocks me down. I wasn’t hurt but the driver wasn’t even gonna stop! Well not till I kicked the shit out of the bus. Then he gets out acting all surprised…. ‘are you ok, do you need an ambulance‘ I’m like, “hell no mother fucker, what I do need is for you to pay attention!” [1]The white trash flies out of me like a demon when I’m angry So, he offers to radio in for an inspector and I’m like, “Look, I’m fine, you just need to pay a bit more attention to where the hell you are driving.”

And its just now noon! God knows what the rest of the day holds in store for me! *giggle*

Karma – 1 Bitterness – 0

So I did a good deed for the ex yesterday. He emailed me asking a “huge favor”, as he put it. It wasn’t that big a deal for me as it involved my techie skills. However, it ended up saving him a wad a cash. Yeah, part of me wanted to say no, just to rub it in that maybe he needed me but, what would that accomplish? So once again, I thought of my karma and how would my actions reflect on me. Laugh if you will, I still try to do at least one good deed every day. So why not do this deed for someone who needs it even if they have hurt me. I wonder if that counts as double karma? *mental note – check karma scales*

Switching topics just a little, I got a nice surprise today. I went to work for a few hours of overtime. I discovered several presents under the tree just for me. (We do secret santa every year so I expected one gift) None of them are labeled as to whom they are from. I can guess three already. I guess the point is it made me feel all warm/fuzzy inside. A feeling I normally have but a bit lacking this year. Several of “the girls” know I’ve had a hard time w/the breakup so I guess this is there way of reaching out to me. It’s times like these that my faith in humanity is renewed. It’s amazing how such a simple gift can mean so much more.

I’m not wealthy and I don’t have much to show materially for my life. I have alot more to show in experience and wisdom. (in my humble opinion) As the years pass, I’m reminded more and more often of the things that matter most to me in this life. For that I am grateful.

So just maybe, christmas this year won’t be so blue after all! And on that note, I hope everyone has a happy christmas and gets their ‘stocking’ stuffed right and proper!

Cool or Ignunt?

Where I come from grown men over the age of 21 who drive around w/car stereos louder than church bells are looked on as ignunt. Maybe it’s just me. Don’t get me wrong, I like jammin’ to tunes while driving big time. I’m referring to these Fonzie wanna-be’s driving around w/a sound system so loud it vibrates windows.

Let me clue you fellas in. . . most people think it shows a lack of intelligence not coolness.

Delays

I’m a tad bummed. I just logged onto Dell’s website and the laptop hasn’t even shipped yet. Of course, that means I’m not getting it by Christmas. Guess Santa is coming late for me this year. That rat bastard. Hope his reindeer gets indigestion and gives him a sleigh full.

Who Does 911 Call For An Emergency?

Really! Who do you think we call? *G* Ok, ok, let me explain. . .

So, I get to work today and I find out one of my buddies that I graduated the academy with passed out last night at work. Here is the kicker, he was laughing so hard at a joke that he started choking and then closed up his airway somehow and passed out. Our call center has fire/medical staff on duty 24hrs a day so they rushed over and made sure he was ok.

As he is coming too, the first words out of his mouth are “am I plugged in?” Now that, my friends, is dedication!
