Well, the new shorter gym schedule seems to be working so far. Keep in mind I’m only into my first week on the new shift. The biggest hurdle for me is going to bed sooner. Being a bit of a night owl, I tend to be awake for 2 or 3 hours after I get [...]
Thanks for all the kudos on the tattoo. I appreciate it. I go back on the 2nd for the color and shading. I’m still extremely excited about my tattoo. Considering it is permanent, I guess that is a good sign. lol The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Everyone is [...]
Monday night was probably one of the most stressful of my career. I’m basing that on the knots in my stomach and the bottle of wine I consumed after work.1 In a nutshell, a circuit panel blew out in our building and a full two-thirds of our system(s) went down in the blink [...]
The great gobble gobble has come and gone. I worked and it was pretty uneventful. In my line of work holidays can be a mixed bag. More people leads to more problems. Also the depression that some experience over the holiday seasons can sometimes lead to unfortunate results. We had a nice big feed and [...]
Today was a test of my patience. Nothing really awful but several unfortunate happenings found me in a particularly foul mood. A mood which seemed to only worsen as they day went by.
First, I get spurned at the gym by a hottie I’ve been oggling. Not the end of the world [...]
Recently, not one but two of my blog buddies sent me T-shirts in the mail. This pic was sent by Large Tony. I absolutely love it! He was worried if I would wear it. Hell, I’ve already worn it 3 times. lol *Thanks T, I greatly appreciate it!*
Oddly enough, the 2nd shirt is also [...]
I often bitch a lot about my job and the complexities it entails. That said, there are times when I get unique opportunities.
*A real pic taken today. No zoom function, I was this close*
Today was one such opportunity. I got to go out to SFO airport as part of my continuing Fire Specialization training. [...]
I survived the 4th at work. The day started off very slow and ended in a blaze of drama. The last two hours of my shift, I processed just over a 100 calls. While most folks looks forward to holidays, there are a couple that I absolutely dread in my line of work. New Year’s [...]
I got bumped off my shift and my days off for the mid-year sign up. I had already planned to go back to a 5-8 schedule however, I fully expected to get a full weekend slot. After 7 1/2 years, I have the seniority for it. That is until some nitwit supervisor [...]
Today was the last day of my teaching gig at work. Thankfully, I’m back on my regular shift tomorrow and its Friday.
Thanks to everyone who sent well-wishes. I’m not quite sure if I have a cold, flu, or just a nasty sinus infection. Whatever it is, it seems to be moving pretty quickly. Yesterday [...]
