I am starting to really come to dislike my job. Why?... not because of the tech aspect.. thats cool... its because of the schedule. My mornings are spent piddling around the house, doing laundry and cleaning up this or that while watching the Today show... then I work in the afternoon to night time, getting home after everyone is asleep. I miss practices, homework... Band Booster meetings ( oh boy).. helping with projects for school, dinner.. just hanging out time. I dont get to see any friends because I am at work. I cant tell you the last time my phone has rang with a friend just saying hey or wanting to grab a bite or whatever... i guess they assume I am at work. sad thing is... I am. Not that i expect that sorta stuff on a regular basis. We all got families now. I understand that. I appreciate that. just sucks when I leave work every evening and realize that EVERYONE is already asleep most likely... i get home and everyone is asleep. I spend some time watching Sportscenter and catching up on Kappa Kappa Psi crap and go to sleep. I spend a lot of time talking to myself now... I think I am annoyed that I am going to miss Halloween with the kids sitting around at work... I think that i am missing the kids growing up while I jerk around at work... oh well, at least I am helping provide for them and that they are getting to do things... and i am grateful Jessica takes care of business while I am not around to help. Starting to ponder changing jobs.. but I have somewhat crappy seniority builtup at my job.. oh well... could be worse. So maybe I will just shut up and get over it...

Hard to believe NBA started tonight. This won't be over till JUNE.... my C's will be an afterthought this year... will take a look back at the Hornets and start on that band wagon while seats are plentiful to find...

Quoting a dear friend here... "WAY beyond Bizarre.... Wayyyy".... my reaction? "WTF?!?!" are you serious?... This is just good for Halloween. You have been warned... i read this and went back/forth between laughing so hard i was in tears to being incredulous that this type of stuff is happening...
Ouch... as someone who is a member of an organization frequently confused for this type of organization (or interestingly enough, have members who wish to emulate these organizations) i somewhat agree with this article, and also disagree... I think that the groups are 95% positive in their missions and goals... and the hazing is a blight that will eventually be cycled out as soon as all the old people die off, unfortunately. The stepping is cool and a source of pride and I often enjoy the step shows, as long as they dont dissolve into something they should not be....
I have been switch to a new medicine to take daily to maintain my blood sugar levela and it has made me somewhat nauseous all the time. Initially for a couple of days it was really bad and has gotten better since then. I now only seem to go thru occasional bouts of it now... but i must admit that once i took the medicine my levels dropped almost 100 points immediately and i did feel better overall.... I must admit that I fear and now loath the upcoming Halloween and all the candy. It severely tests my resolve and I always end up giving in to eating some candy somewhere. My problem is that it seems to have become almost addictive to me.. the taste.. i think because I hardly ever taste it, it is almost like crack or something (not that I really know what that is like, to be honest... but from what I gather). And I dread my kids coming home with mother loads of candy... and the candy buckets at work... and virtually NONE of it that I can eat without feeling bad for hours afterwards. I wish I could simply tell my kids to not bring it home. To give it to charity or something. But that aint happening.. I wish I could get them to understand that all that candy will eventually lead them to be in the same situation as me. But it seems they are doomed to fall into the same trap unless I become the big bad mean Daddy....

The fall has been somewhat quiet... Soccer and usual random Saturday stuff has been the norm... as the weather cools we hope to maybe go hiking again or get out for some leaf viewing in the hills. On a slightly long range note, 2014 is looking to be somewhat eventful with Grandma already arranging a July 4th cruise AND a trip to Great Wolf Lodge in Gatlinburg... That is summertime events.
Just perusing the headlines recently.... The Telegraph .... wonder if all those people in Germany who fawned over Obama would do so now?.... Los Angeles Times... The rich people and Obama/Congress who pushed for this either dont have to use this and are not subject to it... or the poor people simply are not going to pay or ignore it and do what they have always done... leaving the middle class to pay MORE for their healthcare to cover for it... remember when I couldnt order a simple T-SHIRT from the Obama campaign? Was that simply a prediction of the healthcare.gov website debacle ? ...if they have THREE YEARS and a half billion dollars to make a website and cant do better than this, what is to be expected of the final product?.... even The Huffington Post is sporting stories speaking against Obama now and Democrats are starting to seem nervous about this implementation ...
