I'm such a jerk!

I was cruising along doing errands this morning. Young son was in the back seat drawing merrily away on a magna doodle. IPOD was cranking out hits and I lost myself in Paul Young's "Whereever I lay my hat." I got busted for singing along by two women readying to turn onto the Boulevard. Apparently, my falsetto needs work.

I've been pillaging (e:Jenks) music link like one of the Capital One vikings and got reunited with a bunch of favorites including the new user sound, one of my favorite Clash tracks ever.

Need to get a haircut, but I'm not sure where to go. I used to go to Chic's on Utica but I think I was one of his last haircuts ever since the store shuttered quickly after that. Probably stagger to Supercuts or something.

FINALLY, got the new overlords to get all my paperwork filed with the new company. Got the 401 K (since I'm old) and the pay advance worked out, health care will get done shortly.

Been fun having time off. The youngin' and I have been to the races at Lancaster Speedway, the movies to see Barnyard, the monday night Bisons game with lots of swimming mixed. The grandparents step in for a few hours later today, but we still have mini-golf on the horizon and I think my son has his grandfather set to pillage Dave and Busters for a vacation finale. We started today with new school sneakers and lunch at the IHOP, sounds dorky but very satisfying.

Fun to not think about work.

Vacation!!!

I don't wanna work.....

Off until the 14th!! Great day in the morning people. Bring me the finest muffins and bagels in the land....

BAGELS?? who's going to get bagels??? Someone should go to NYC and buy some bagels.

perhaps I shall do it-- and we'll have ourselves a crazy bagel party.

hurray, vacation! Is the the time that you are taking off somewhere.. or is that closer to the end of summer? Either way, did you decide where you are going??

Well, if you happen to be there pick a few extra up

I'm not going all the way to NYC just to get you some bagels! ;)

It's the little things

When he was leaving tonight, my 8 yr old was scrambling for something at the bottom of my ex's minivan.

"here, Dad" followed an outstetched hand.

In said hand was a still in the wrapper Superman action figure from his lunch, complete with flight sound effects. It's a beautiful thing. I walked around in the rain for a little bit with a goofy smile on my face.

Nicest thing to happen all week.

ugh

I hate HR I hate HR I hate HR I hate HR. Papers they should have processed have left me screwed, cheated, frustrated and more than a little angry. I check on them daily to get my new information processed and the ball keeps getting dropped. Time Warner was setting up a salary advance to ease transitions. I filled out my paperwork for that and was told everything was fine for this, only to discover the opposite. The advance was fictional apparently.

A scheduling mixup has left me unable to get to the Femmes tonight. Enjoy peeps.

I'm not happy
