Too Much Time

It's not something I am used to having. Too much time. What to do with your day when you have no duties?

We were planning on working on a deck and some interior projects but that didn't pan out. We forgot to call Iowa 1 Call before diggig and the guy didn't have the trim for the windows, nor any of the linolium or surround for the bathroom. So that was a bust.

So, the rest of the day was taken up with filling back CardShark orders, getting a haircut (and flirting with the stylist - she's cute and single!), watching SuperBad, and getting my weeks shopping done.

Which leaves about 8 hours of no plans just in the afternoon! I need to learn how to get a social life!!!

This is going to be a quick week, got a secret shop to do between Monday and Wednesday, working on the house as able in the evenings, and taking Friday off for travel. Going out of town to visit a dear friend.

I am nervous about my weigh in tomorrow. I have a goal in mind - 240 to start. However, I have had that goal for a couple years now and am not a whole lot closer to reaching it. I need to set a timeline.

In preparation for National Novel Writing Month I have decided to convert to using a Dvorak keyboard. I ordered stickers to put over the keys of both my home and work keyboards. I am going to need all the speed I can get while trying to pump out 2000 words a day!

That's all the random stuff for today. Stay tuned for tonights poem revisited.

Today

Ok, that's irritating. I just lost the entire post due to an unexpected error... GRRRRRR. I guess I need to write this in UltraEdit(R) before trying to post just in case. Let's see if I can re-create it (though it feels somewhat strange to re-type it, kinda like I am repeating something I said because I feel like I am being ignored. Weird.)
I was pretty busy today, so no earth shattering thoughts to mull over. I don't know why, but some days I don't have enough work to keep me busy while others I feel swamped. The workload stays pretty much the same each day, though...
An opportunity has come up at work and I am applying for it. I feel that this is a chance to make some very possitive changes in our part of the organization. I will keep this updated with any developments in that area.
We got our first job from our ad in the phone book! We had to underbid like crazy to get it, so we won't be clearing much. Just enough to cover the cost of the ad and a bit left over. I can't complain, though, not with my call to close ration hovering at 30-1. We are doing a simple 10x10 deck and some minor interior work. But still, it's cool.

There, I retyped it. It feels kinda clunky doing it and the words don't flow as smoothly. Oh well...
