Just Random Ramblings

I guess I need to update on the weekend and stuff since I have not posted since last week. SKF was nice enough to let us have a three day weekend. I really enjoyed most of it. I went to Mama's on Saturday - oh yeah I posted that already. Sunday I laid around a good bit and went to the Outback that night with Jason and Cambiz. Millard would have probably joined us if he had not had prior engagements. Rubenia would have joined us.. well I don't know if she would have or not! You can never tell with that woman.

Monday we grilled pc's - that's pork chops for people who never heard that before. They were pretty good. Actually Regina did most of the cooking. I can't complain though, it was very good and nice of her to be so helpful. My duty involved going to the grocery store!

Tuesday was supposed to be a day of big changes at work. Honestly nothing has really changed yet. Although, I am being moved from assembly to turning. That isn't such a bad thing. But I had finally gotten used to working in assembly. I think I just liked the fact that most everyone up there relied on me a good bit. Things will be different in turning that is for sure. And at the end of next month, there is no telling where I'll be. I might not even be on the same channel; I might get shipped off to another channel! I'll have to wait and see.

I took my car in Tuesday to have the A/C fixed. I just knew I was going to have a new compressor put on that thing. Luckily for me that it was only some wiring and was less than $100 to fix. I like things like that. That will help me put some money toward that damn windshield I have to purchase. I will do that in a few weeks. Somehow last week that fucker got a big ass crack in it. I am just glad it's on the passenger side and not the driver's side.

Dana has been chosen to play All-stars for softball I am really proud of her. The games will take place at the end of June if I am not mistaken. Unfortunately I will probably miss them because of my work schedule. She is also going to be playing travel ball with a team based out of Aiken. I was nice and give her one-fourth of the money she needs to play that. I know things will be difficult for them this summer. Regina still has no job and Ben's company thinks he can live on 32 hours a week. Hopefully he'll find something else. From what I understand he has been looking. I think this is the first time I've ever known him to look for another job - he's been working at the same place for like 15 years or more! But he's finally getting fed up with their stupid shit.

OK that's it for now. I am still excited about Friday night. Hopefully nothing will get in the way of my plans!

Yep June 4th is finally here! And you know what that means? Yes, it's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban release day! Although I would have loved to go see the 10AM showing, SKF decided they needed to make our fucking safety meeting today. So I have to be at work early and couldn't have made it to work in time. That's ok though, Jason and I are going tonight when I get off work. I just can't wait! I just hope the theatre isn't too packed.

Yeah, I managed to go see Harry Potter 3 last night. It was pretty good. I will have to say the book was much better. I know that usually goes without saying. However, with the first two movies it was really nice to see how they stayed to the book to life. I enjoyed the first two movies better. Maybe I will like the third one better after I see it another time or two. And I am sure I will. I just think there were too many changes from the first two movies. It seems that even the layout of Hogwarts itself was a tad different. It was still a good movie though, and I do recommend you go see it!

Well I have only two more days of second shift left. Starting Monday I have to work 12-hour night shift. That is from 7PM until 7:15 AM. That should be really fun. This is a warning to everyone now, you better not be calling me during the day and waking me! If you do so, I will assume you have an emergency. And if you don't have an emergency, you will get a good telling-off! Because I certainly won't be nice about it. I know the money's gonna be good working all those hours, but I am going to be one tired mofo! If I do manage to have the weekends off, I won't do much because I'll be too damn tired! I just hope it doesn't drain me to exhaustion. It's only going to be three weeks at the most. I just don't want to have to work every day for twelve hours, that is going to be too damn much.

I don't know when I am going to find time to do stuff around here. For instance right now my grass is getting close to knee high. I am going to try and get up early in the morning to cut it. We'll see though. I think I'll be okay if I don't stay up too late tomorrow. I really just need to find someone who will do it on a weekly or bi-weekly basis who won't charge me an arm and a leg. I tried to get Dana to do it, but she seems uninterested. I guess she doesn't need the money that I was going to give her. Either that, or she is just being a lazy ass bum! LOL

When they first said we'd be doing this, I figured I'd be dead on my feet by the end of the week. Surprisingly I am not exactly. I am kind of tired, and somehow I have this feeling that tomorrow I'll just lay around and do much of nothing! I do need to go to the Outback one day while I am off. I'll have to wait and see how things go first.

I don't think I posted it here, but I finally got my raise. I should see it on my paycheck next week. That should be really good considering I'll have 72 hours on it! And this is a good thing too because not only do I have bills to pay, but I have a windshield to buy for my car.

Just wanted a quick note to let everyone know that I am still alive. If you have any alternatives to FeedReader, please send them my way. My FR is fucking up lately and not updating for new posts. Jason had a job interview today too. I hope that went well for him. We all know he needs a job! Go bug him about it! Well, I have to run as I have to get to work.

Yep, that's correct, today is my birthday. I have not written in a while so I figured I'd give you suckers something to read for a change. I am not sure exactly how the evening will go. Jason and I are going out to eat, I'm pretty sure that Ricky and Millard are going to join us as well. I am thinking we might as well go to the Outback. I want to go there anyway, and it makes it easier to go to one place!

It hasn't been too bad of a day so far. I had to work through the night, which means I am going to sleep most of the day away! Well, I will be up about 3 or 4 to get ready to go off. My mom already got on the computer this morning and wished me a Happy Birthday. She said she was singing it and Duchess was howling. Somehow, I don't doubt that! LOL. She asked what I wanted and I told her that I wanted a DVD burner or a new hard drive. I should have told her that I wanted my truck fixed! I bet she would have liked that! Let's see if she complies or not. She might just wind up giving me the cash, which is OK too.

I have a lot of stuff going on at work right now, but I really don't want to get into it. I will try to write about it later. I know all of you (there are like two people who read this! LOL) are just dying to know what is going to happen come next week. Well let's just say I will still be on 12-hour night shift come next week. However it will be rotatings days off. So I won't be working 60 hours a week. More later --
