it's only 2:00, time is too slow at work

Someone is clipping their fingernails in the other office right now. It's so annoying and I cannot concentrate on anything at this very moment, except writing this sentence.

NFL regular season starts tonight. I told the guy that is playing me in fantasy football this weekend that he better have some players playing tonight so that he will have a head start because he will need it. Let it be known this is my first year to ever play fantasy football and I have no idea what I am doing.

This morning I pretended that weather was getting cooler. The air conditioner in my car was on and it had me thinking that the leaves would soon begin changing colors. Then I noticed that all the trees around were pines.

Thank goodness Apple put the little "R" and "L" on the earphones. Otherwise I would go crazy trying to determine which ear piece goes in which ear. If the right goes in the left ear the world is not right and I will hear everything backwards.

The LSU guy at work made some BBQ sauce and I took a bottle. It's taking everything in me to not drink it right now.

Going to Starkville, MS next weekend for some Bulldog Bash and the Miss St vs Auburn football game. The last time I went to a home game against Auburn I took the largest cowbell anyone has ever seen. Made the front sports page of multiple newspapers and even the beloved Mississippi State year book. My roommate was so proud.

I listened to my first full length speech by a politician last night. She held my attention the entire time. I have never felt more like an American citizen than I did last night. That was until Big and Rich came on to sing.

What NFL team was the first to win the Vince Lombardi trophy five times?

Last entry's answer was the Cincinnati Bengal's.

short sentences

It's Monday. Booo.

I saw I Am Legend this weekend and it didn't suck. Sam was my favorite character and I almost cried.

If I could go back in time I would go back to this morning. There's no way I would've wore a sweater today with what knowledge I have now.

I hate buying garbage bags. All I do is throw them away.

Word on the streets is that I might be going skiing again in February. I came close to giving a total stranger a high five. Never have I ever been so excited.

Someone made a cake for their decorating class and brought it to work. The icing smells good and the cake smells nice. I was trying to save it till after lunch and it keeps staring at me in the face. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to put myself through.

It bothers me when I accidentally cut my fingernails too short. Getting close to the skin is very uncomfortable and looks hideous. Why does it feel like that? I wish they would grow faster so I don't have to feel like this.

What continent are you on if you're lost in the eastern tip of Egypt?

Last entry's answer was Elton John.

scream, don't paddle

The rafting trip inspired me. I grew a beard. New Guy told me that I'm going to look like a man before too long. I hope he's right.

Friday was a long day. In Atlanta I've never gone so short a distance in so long of time. Except when I went to Houston. Why is it that old people don't listen to the radio when traveling in a car? Ten joyful radio free hours. I should have sang, then maybe something would have been turned on. Excitement did happen when we got lost. Then once the X on the map was found we were unable to enter our castle due to not knowing where the key was. That wasted a good hour and a half. I slept on a pull out couch that night, it was springy.

Saturday we attempted to conquer the mighty Chattooga. Fortunately for the river we had a self guided raft. I took my turn half way down and totally impressed the experienced guides. The guys being paid got stuck, I did not. I should quit my day job to become a guide. I'm serious and now have a beard to help further my dream. To see me not guiding click here. I'm in the front smiling and waving while not paddling.

Sunday was the longest day of my life. Not really, it still only lasted 24 hours. It began by being woken up by five chatter bugs. I did not talk for at least two hours that morning. The river had been waiting patiently for me all night. There was a guide in our raft this morning, lucky us. I wanted to throw the tall guy out of our boat. He chose the male guide over the super cute female. She's now my new crush, I don't know her name but do know she goes to Clemson. I was nervous, we watched Deliverance the night before. Way later in the trip I managed to impress the whole group again by doing a flip off the large jumping rock. The tall guy had to copy me in hopes to impress the super cutie he passed on. He failed.

I need to find the guy that was clipping his finger nails the other day. Mine are getting long.

After owning the river the fun part began. Ten hour drive back to Jackson, Mississippi. Once again, no radio. I was excited. Not really. I think Atlanta wanted to take a Sunday afternoon drive along with us. Nothing else exciting happened.

What is Europe's most mountainous country?

Last entry's answer was Steve Martin.

mucho work

Tomorrow I leave for the rafting trip. I'm beginning to get a little nervous. Don't think that filming Deliverance 2 is such a good idea anymore.

Old Guy isn't here. The more I think about it, he reminds me of the character Dwight from The Office. No one wants to work with him, he's a know it all, his jokes are horrible, and he enjoys barber shop quartets way too much. I think he makes up the work that he does here. Yesterday afternoon he was freaking out because he would be on the road and leave me here with nothing to do. Its not like I do anything when he's here anyway. So he gives me a big sheet of paper with mucho (that's Spanish for many) items to keep me busy. "If you can get even half of this done tomorrow that would be a great start for us both." I finished it all yesterday afternoon. He probably crapped a brick when he saw it this morning.

I can hear someone clipping their finger nails in another cubicle. That's not cool.

Today I was surprised when I was allowed to take a road trip with Heart Breaker Dan. It only lasted for the morning, but it was nice to leave the desk for a short time. This trip was to check the water pressure on a new sprinkler system supply line. Increase pressure, check gauge, wait two hours, make sure no pressure loss, go home. Easy as pie. Heart Breaker Dan loves to look at the women. Whenever we would pass a pretty woman the car always happened to slow down. "Accelerator must be stuck, its acting funny," as he would stare a hole right through her.

"When I was born, the doctor came out to the waiting room and said to my father, 'I'm very sorry. We did everything we could. But he pulled through.'" - Rodney Dangerfield
