The last few weeks have really sucked. I've been burned out tired. Then last week I had a project at work I just couldn't get through. I'd get maybe 5 pages done at work in a whole day and that was the progress I made some days. Got nothing done after coming in on Saturday, ended up going home and sleeping 14 hours. Wrote most of the report on Sunday and it went out in a mad flurry including copier failure yesterday. Now, I ahve nothing to do. Been going through all this stress and slogging through work. Now I'm at a point with a pile of work that's all at a point I can't work on, so I've done next to nothing today (because I can't). Anyway, work's just wierd like that.
Work should have me down in New Orleans this week, probably overnight one night, if anyone down there wants to do anything. I think everyone knows my cell number.
This Thursday on Smackdown, its the return of the Blue World Order
For those that don't know, that Da Blue Guy, Hollywood Nova and Big Stevie Cool.

I've gotten really bad at updating this. For the longest, I was just trying to avoid commenting on a certain situation involving friends, so I shaded away from the blog for a while.
Anyway, I'm past that now and just wanted to put some news out there.
The biggest news is that in mid-June, my Pontiac Sunfire was retired. It was a 1998 vehicle and getting close to the 100,000 mile mark. With the new trend of "employee discounts," it was time forme to get the car I've been wanting for over a year, the Pontiac Vibe. Its a great vehicle, has storage space closer to an SUV than a car, Toyota interior, Pontiac exterior and gets great millage. Also got a decent deal after trade in and rebates. First thing I did was go to New Orleans and get precut plywood for my mom's windows since I could actually transport the wood now.
Also I decided this week to stop going to Weight Watchers. Not that I'm stopping the diet, I'm just not going to pay $11 each week to go in and get weighed (since the meetings do nothing for me, thats all I do). I need to adjust the tally on the side of the page b/c there seems to be a difference of about 11 pounds between weighing at Weight Watchers and at the apartment complex. Some of that is different scales, but a lot of it is that at Weight Watchers, I was coming from work in heavy shoes and clothes and with wallet and all in my pockets, while at the complex the scale is in the gym so I am in t-shirt and shorts and leave the wallet and most of the other pocket stuff in the apartment. Anyway, right now I'm closing in to 275 (apartment scale) and a total of 50 lbs lost.
If anyone reads on Sunday or Monday, I am doing 4th stuff at the apartment, call my cell for details. Thinking to grill arond 3 or 4 and then head out to the fireworks downtown on the river.
