Record Breaking DayToday we broke a high temperature record. The last highest temperature happened in 1902 or 1907 I think and that was only 82. Today it was 87.
I love storms.

Blog This! PeachesCentral Terminal isn't as fun when it's legal. We made lots of friends at the Blogtoberfest as you can see here. 
I spent $19 at the terminal for like an hour long of pure fun and good times.
$10 entrance fee-includes 1 beer
$6 for 3 Pierogies
$3 Central Terminal drinking glass for (e:mike)
Seeing other bloggers...priceless.
With all my money they should have it restored in no time.
Thanks for the party (e:theecarey). The fire was beautiful. It was nice to be able to see the stars.

fliers should have all the information listed on it. This one didn't. So, I can't be bothered to research if it is a blogging event which may or may not happen just at a larger Octoberfest because the flier may or may not have all pertinent information. So. Boo to making excuses.
But a lovely time was had in general. Though next September's Octoberfest should just be an 'everyone brings a six pack' get together by the train yards.

hey lib, can you e-mail me this pic on a larger scale? I want to make a giant poster out of it at the print shop and make myself a fake fireplace!

Why Roswell makes me want to smokeWorking at the quit line make me want to smoke so much. It is torture. I haven't had strong cigarette cravings like this in so long. Why does hearing people hack up a lung from smoking for so many years make me want to smoke?
I sort of know the answer:
1) This is a return to my old smoking environment. (The call center)
2) Smokers are stressful.
3) I'm not used to being inactive and without windows to outside environment. (I'm used to very high physical demand over the last 7 years)
4) People are smoking as they are calling us.
5) I'm still and always will be an addict.
6) I need to apply the techniques the quit line recommends such as having a plan for the situations in which my addiction is triggered. I also need to recognize what triggers my own cravings.
7) Talking about smoking reminds me of how much I loved cigarettes even though they made me so unhappy.
8) I'm dealing with multiple changes at once.
9) It makes me nervous that parts of my job is a real challenge for me. The bilingual calls are really freaking me out. Even though I know I can do it, I also know that I have difficulties in this area. It is a lot of pressure.
10) Cigarettes are a stimulant and I really could use that to get through listening to 8 hours of other people talk on the phone (I'm still in training).
I swear (e:drew), I had no intention of doing a top ten list. It was probably the most therapeutic thing I could have done and now I will recommend it to my clients.

Could you perhaps take a very quick walk/stroll outside when you get these urges; you could repress the smoking urge with some fresh air.

I am sorry to hear you are having those urges.
But getting them? While working at a quite-smoking hotline? That is hilarious in an objective way.

9 to 5I went to the falls with (e:mike) on Friday I thought he might say something about it, but he hasn't. So I'm not going to either.
Tomorrow I have to work 9 to 5. That is so boring . "Yeah, I work 9 to 5".
I'm going to bed.
UPDATE 9/19/07 9:30 pm
I'm sorry for publicly chastising you mike. That is actually something I am sort of against doing in my journal. I understand that it was a lot to write about. I was just being a crazy betch. Yesterday I had a hard time adjusting to the new job. It is a little weird for me even though I love it so much. It has been so many years since I have been in a call center. At least this is much better than selling a bunch of freaky pet owners more crap. BTW, Elizabeth Taylor has ordered something off the back of a Milk Bone Box.
Today I ran into (e:amanda). My first roswellian (e:strip)per sighting. I'm not sure why she doesn't post more stuff. She is great.

Boring, and typical, But, I'd say it's better than working Saturday nights, all summer long. That's the life of a wedding photographer, and one of the reasons I'm leaving my job at the end of the month :-D. Congratulations on the new position.

A routine is not so bad. You may grow to like it or resent it. Sometimes I experience a little of both.

Global warming can only be good news for Western New York, unless of course we find ourselves knee-deep in lake erie.
That is, until the rest of the world gets really screwed up and all humanity dies.
But there might be a really good window of a couple decades where we become a prime place to live.
We should go back in time to 1903 to ask how they handled global warming.
Yay for global warming!! ;)
I was so drunkenly happy with all that heat today afternoon. Hope winter never turns up at Buffalo's doorstep!
