Ugh

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.

I worked 68 hours last week, 20 of that will be paid at the holiday rate of double time and a half. So even though I didn't participate in a family gathering only to watch my Lions lose, next payday will make up for it.

This week I'm working 72 hours. It's another effort to build up some cash for the holidays and a snowmobile trip I've got planned in two weeks. There isn't any snow on the ground right now, but hopefully that will change.

Pretty soon a group of new hires will complete training and start on the job training. I only mention it because then I won't be considered one of the FNG's any more. Soon there will be a new group to pick on!

Playstation Mania

I figured I'd add to the list of blogs about the release of Playstation 3.

Enjoy the pain of one unlucky guy from Wisconsin.

Eh, you know: this and that.

I'd be lying if I said that I've been too busy to blog. I'd be telling you the truth if I said that I just haven't felt the motivation to do so.

The wintertime is by far my favorite time of the year. I like the crisp, clean, cool air. I really like the snow and the prospect of snowmobiling (ski-dooing in Canada?)

At any rate, I've been a busy guy outside of the blogging world. I purchased a snowmobile from my dad:
















I also felt the urge to match, should we ever have enough snow, so I picked up a new jacket and bib combo. Still thinking about a new helmet too.

All combined, its a pretty decent expense so I've been pulling some extra hours at work. Normally I'll come up with a little ditty while I'm sitting at work not doing much, but we've found a new website to entertain ourselves with. The countdown is on for the day IT blocks our latest form of amusement.

So the elections are over and I couldn't be happier. We have about a year and half until the political ads start back up. It's really no surpise that the Republicans lost the majority. I just feel sorry anyone who may have voted for a particular candidate simply because they we're affiliated with George W. Bush. Hopefully you know where your candidate stands on other issues because in 2 years we'll still be in Iraq and Bush will be wrapping up his Presidency. I can't lie though, I'm hoping for another revolution in 2010 or 2012. I cannot relate to anyone who sits in a position of power it seems. Clean them all out and start over.

That's really all I've got for today, and possibly this week. I'm working 6 in a row, ending on the morning after Thanksgiving. I hope everyone takes the time to say a little thank-you for the things they appreciate most. I was tempted to do a Veteran's Day post, but you either appreciate them or you do not. Can't really sway the masses and I don't have the energy for it anyway.

Me? I'm going to thank some cheerleaders.

We is some stupid folks

Fuck you John Kerry. Your "joke" wasn't taken out of context.

If I ever see you, I'll shove a ketchup bottle up your ass.
