Boring
I am so boring,

Lately, my life consists of working, sleeping and eating. I try to slide chores in there, too, when there is time. Oddly enough, i am not working tons of hours, but my hours are always being changed on me. Ah, but i have kvetched about that many times before and it is not about to change, so i guess i have to get used to the chaos of it all.

Today, however, i FINALLY got 'round to doing a few things that so needed to be done. As well as cleaning -- those of you with a big house like us will understand that sometimes, it takes a whole day to dust and vacuum -- i also did some rearranging.

The bookshelf in our sitting room can now accept more books. Having to stay up all night while working overnights has led me to more reading, which i forgot how much i love doing, despite the severe limitations on what i can read while working. But i digress.

We also got to hanging up a few peices of artwork... and photos and such. Would you believe that i finally found the *perfect* place for that lovely framed pciture of the geese you gave me many moons ago, (e:Matthew)?!? I still adore it and it now has a permanent place above my rolltop desk.

This is the veiw of my desk in the den, sitting here at the computer, just behind and to my left.

This is what I will say about that: When you hours change it is tough to do stuff. What if you get tickets to say a concert, or play or something then you have to work then. I say you and Walt should go do some fun stuff, what that would be I don't know you well enough to suggest anything really, sorry, well you could all ways go hope on a plane and fly to Qatar to visit (e:ladycroft) and Rory , yeah it would take planing and be costly and besides I'm sure you couldn't get the time, off but I thought that was one thing I had to suggest. One other thing you could do is go art shopping or at least art looking. The reason I say that is that from that picture I see that you have a lot of open wall space. Finding art for a home is tricky but fun. Well it is for me. Yes there are things I like but sometimes they cost to much. Then there is the I really like it but is it right for my place? I don't have many photos because they are costly to buy. Oh yeah on a side note sometimes boring is a good thing, it means that nothing is really going wrong or at least not enough to make things unboring.

It Was Me!
To the asshat tailgating me all the way from Filmore to Richmond on Best/Summer this morning around 7.30am, i just want you to know that since me driving 40 in a 30 wasn't enough for you, i thought perhaps 28 would be better. I had just gotten off work and not in a hurry, so i slowed down just to piss you off. Looked like it worked, too. Have a nice day.

i do that too. and why do people feel the need to fly all the way up to the right side of cars stopped at a red light - as if they are turning right - and then fly out in front of EVERYBODY when the light changes?
joshua - 11/14/08 13:41
That is, slowing down when tailgated, not grandpa driving, hehe.
joshua - 11/14/08 13:41
I do the same thing!
paul - 11/14/08 12:12
I always drive like 10 mph too slow. Everyone says I am going to get a ticket for going to slow.
drew - 11/14/08 09:57
I've done that!

Very pretty! Where is this in Buffalo? Is this a "bus-able" location? :D
heidi - 10/24/08 22:01
Great pix! Thanks for sharing them. And now I've got another "gotta see" destination in Buffalo :-)
gardenmama - 10/24/08 21:49
The pix are beautiful! I, sadly, have never been to the Botanical Gardens. I think I'll have to make a point of going.
libertad - 10/24/08 21:16
Those are nice! I can' wait to go to Botanical Gardens on the weekend. I'm going to see if there is a bus there too in case I wanna go when Mikey is busy.

Deja Vu?

I can't remember if i have posted this, or someone else did. But, it has been a while and cuteoverload (thanks for the addiction, (e:Hodown)) reminded me about it.

Gotta love that song, man....

I was thinking, "please pet the kitty already!" then finally someone did. That's all the kitty wanted with all her rolling around and looking super cute.

Frustrated? Who, Me?
So, the Hepatitis B vacination is a series of three that has to be done over a period of time. After many calls, i finally got myself in to see the nurse at the clinic at work so i can get my second of three.

I was supposed to go on my way to work, between 3.15 and 3.30, since i was to start work at 4pm. Then, my supervisor asked if i could change my work day from the 4 - 8 shift i was supposed to work to a 7am to noon shift. I said yes.

And called the nurse to change the time i would come get the shot. She said that she is at lunch at noon and could i come at 1pm? I figured waiting 45 - 60 minutes would be ok. Better than waiting around until 3.15 or having to drive there and back (90 minutes) on a day off -- or "pass day" as the lingo goes there.

So, this morning, i arrive at 7am and my supervisor looks at me and says "why are you here so early?" and my reply was "because you asked me to be here now" to which she said, "oh, i meant to call you and tell you to come in later". All i could think of to say was "but you didn't". So, she asked me if i could stay later... until when, she wasn't sure. I told her yes, but on one condition -- SHE had to call the nurse at the clinic to reschedule.

Instead, i was driven over there from the building i was in along with an individual going to a doctor's appointment. We both had to be there at 1pm and surprisingly, we were both on time. Rare event at my unit.

After my jab, i went and got another individual for his appointment and shuttled the first one back to his work program. Then, at the end of the "work" day, i drove him, the other individuls at the same work site building over to the clinic to get the individual who had the second appointment and drove everyone back to the living unit.

I left work at 3pm. I could have kept the same 3.15om appointment.......

That is frustrating!!
