Month: January 2017

My twin nephews came over this weekend and helped me out around the house.  My sister-in-law brought their boots so they could splash around in the back yard.  It was in the 50s outside on Saturday so after they helped me in the basement, they were playing outside in the ‘back 40’ splashing around in the puddles, mud, and stream.  I made little sailboats out of Styrofoam.  Luckily we have multiple dryers.  It was fun having them over.  One of these days, I will bust out the bb pistol… heh, heh.  So much for Green Bay on Sunday, kind of bummed that they were completely outplayed by Atlanta.  I think I am working from home on Thursday or not.  Although, no real compelling reason to do such at this point.  Maybe I will save it for when I need it.  Kinda bummed about my game, its getting boring lately.  Chris from Germany is quitting and selling his account.  Cari from BA is getting sparse and RocKaX is fast becoming a mooch.  Xena and Haraff are not really active as far as I can see and Dany doesn’t seem to really have the cash to keep playing, I hope its just my imagination.  Anyway, love the Hitler meme about Roger Goodell and Tom Brady.  Uh oh, a meeting with my least favorite person at Atkore and my boss. Not good at all.  Some days, it’s just my thought fragments.

Love them zombie books.  I’m currently listening to the Dead series by TW Brown, Volume 6.  It makes my commute, as short as it is, enjoyable.  I don’t know what I like about these books but I certainly find them entertaining.   Its kind of weird, I never would have listened to them 5 years ago.  As it turns out, JD Edwards One World also has them as part of their programming which intimates that its a known issue.  Not that they are a wanted process, but when things go awry, zombie processes can exist on the server divorced from the kernel processes leaving reports in a processing state but really ended.  Effing’ audit season is almost here at the company.  I hate audit.

On Monday we joined the health club, my wife is still going to occupational therapy (OT).  It’s still a month before she gets to start physical therapy (PT) for her neck.  So we are going to try and get there and do some basic stuff, just to get in a groove.  Kind of funny, now I am limited on time and very busy with everything.  Before, when all I had was time, I wasn’t a member yet.  I wonder how school is going for the kids?  Maybe on Sunday, I can take them out for lunch or something just to get caught up.  Ill have to give them a call.  My sister-in-law the other day is bitching because her ex husband is being reasonable – that’s a switch.  She is wary.  She probably should be and should have her guard up but don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.  Just accept it and move on.  The basement is still a long way from completion but is becoming organized.  To quote my old therapist: “Inch by inch… life’s a cinch.  Yard by yard, life is hard”.  Yea, I know he quoted someone also, but wisdom is easily passed that way.

Life has kind of been weird lately.  I feel like I’m under a ton of stress at work.  Sometimes I don’t understand people.  I’ve done almost everything I’ve been asked to do and it is still not enough.  Part of it is me I know, but part of its not me also.  I have never said no to anything here except once, and I feel like its coming back to bite me in the ass.  I’m trying to figure out if this place is the place I want to retire from or not.  I love my boss however he and I do not communicate well.  That is a blessing and a curse.  In good times it has served me well (95%), but when the going gets tough it has not been pretty (5%).  I guess that if that analysis holds after I sleep on it, it is definitely a pro for my job.  Sounds like I’m whining.  Boo-hoo 5% but I’m the one that has to live with it.
