…is kind of what my life is on right now. Going through the motions, keeping the pace, but not really giving a shit what direction I’m moving in. No destination chosen. Holding pattern central.
I look at my pathetic existence, working 6 days a week (when I’m lucky enough to get OT) just to tread water [...]

Damn, I suck…
Actually, it’s because I’ve been visited the last two weeks by an old associate I haven’t seen or heard from in quite a while.
The Overtime Fairy.
He’s back. And he planted his work boots into my back without warning. Beats the shit out of being sodomized by the Layoff Gnome though, that’s for damn [...]

My brain has been turned to “idle” this week for some reason. Eat, sleep, shit, shower, and barely function at work has been about the extent of my activities.
My sinuses have been clogged since Sunday. Hopefully the Claritin knocks the spigot open and lets my normally well natured and positive outlook on life flow from [...]

Oh what a day…
Started off fine, the spawn woke up and started fighting immediately (this is normal). Dropped them off with the ex-mother in law, and headed to work.
As I started my shift, I noticed there was a guy walking around with a clipboard examining the machines. Turns out, he’s appraising all of our equipment.

California has two things in abundance: Budget shortfalls, and illegal aliens.
Why not solve both problems at once, and help alleviate a national problem at the same time?
California has approximately 2.8 million illegals living in the state. Probably many more. Educating the children of these lawbreakers and providing other social services such as health care, costs [...]

Is how long Maranda and I were married.
Today the papers were signed by the judge and now we’re not.

Listen to this and think long and hard about how it applies to what is going on in Washington today.
If you haven’t seen the John Adams HBO miniseries: Watch it. Then enable the “facts are stubborn things” option on the DVD and watch it again.

Had to work days yesterday and take my PACT class (Parents and Children Together) until 9pm last night. It’s a mandatory 4 hour class you have to take in Illinois if you have kids and are getting separated or divorced.
Maranda and I have issues (obviously: we’re getting divorced, duh) but all I’m going to [...]
