Personal

I have been able to avoid work for most of the day! I got up at noon (NICE!!!). I unplugged my pager, and shut off my cell phone to ensure a good sleep. I forgot to turn off my alarm, so I got up at 7:30. Turned off the alarm and went back to bed. It felt good. I had lunch. Got my fresh direct order. I watched TV. I pretty much did nothing. And I am enjoying every minute of it.

I am about to go out and walk to Best Buy (love manhattan), and maybe hit the Cold Stone Creamery on the way back. That place rocks…

Tonight I may have a drinking engagement. I love vacation weekends!

Wednesday we added to our fish tank at work. It set me back a pretty penny, but the tank is looking good. Jayson got like 7 pounds of the living rock. I got a bicolor angel fish. We named him Carl to go along with our Simpson’s naming convention. So far Carl is shy and hides under the filter. Jayson is going to get a heater since the water is probably too cold for the tropical fish we have.

My luck we get into a hobby/pet that costs so much money. I will take photos of the fish when I get back to the office on Tuesday. We are also working on a FishCam since we have a web cam at work. No eta on that.

I just find it funny that I am doing google searches on angel fish care.

I am not able to sleep. I am going to try and lie down in a few minutes. I know I won’t be able to get up for work on time if I don’t get some sleep soon. I hate not being able to sleep. I have been having issues for the past week and half or more.

Must try….

We saw Heath perform at the Inprov NY comedy club tonight. I have never seen his act before. I lived in queens and never wanted to stay in the city so late to see the act. I was missing out. He was very funny. A bit raunchy, but it was very funny. Since it was allot of up and coming comedian’s some (half or more) weren’t that good. The others like Heath were very funny. Was it worth the money I spent? Probiby, since we all had a good time. Next comedy club we hit is Dangerfields.

Earlier in the day I headed out to Macy’s in Herald Square. I needed to get some shopping done. I wanted to go before the RNC convention starts Monday. I am avoiding that area all week. Got some work clothes and some hanging out stuff.

I am hearing that Union Square will be the protest central next week. That is good news for the RNC in Madison Square Garden, but not good for me who works right by Union Square. We don’t know how bad it will be, but I heard 250,000 people protesting down there. I have been to Union Square countless times, and I don’t know where they are putting a quarter million people. it is a big place, but I don’t think it is that big. If it is bad monday, I am working from home tuesday.

I have to go pack for the Company picnic tomorrow…

So no last minute vacation for me. It just didn’t seem in the cards. My traveling companion and I never got to a consensus on where to go or what to do. I think he is going anyway, but it was just too last minute for me to eak out a vacation.

I am now looking to do something short in the middle of September. Hopefully with a week off somewhere in October or November.

More news about that as it develops.

Everyone is asking when I am going on vacation? I haven’t gone in a while and it is becoming apparent that I need to chill out for a while. The next question is where to go? I have pondered this in previous blogs. I have several ideas about what to do. I have prepared myself for the simple fact that some of my ideas were never going to happen due to several factors.

Now things may have taken a turn for the better. A friend of mine has an a crazy last minute idea that we are trying to see if it will work out. If so I will have news soon. If not, we will never speak of it again. All I can say is I am excited if it can happen. I can’t sleep. Of course I couldn’t sleep all week because of other reasons, so I don’t know if my current insomnia is due to a potential vacation plan or that I just cannot sleep.

If you got through this post and actually understand some of what I just said, you are as crazy as i. Enough rambling…

I have been having sleep issues. I cannot sleep. Not sure if it is the loud AC in my place (i need to get that looked at), or still settling into the new apartment. It could be just stress. I have no idea, but it is becoming a problem. I go through bouts insomnia, but I still goto bed normal time and try to sleep. it just doesn’t come, or it is very restless.

I had my laundry done today. I am all for having it done, instead of me doing it. It costs allot more, but I don’t wast 2 hours in the hot laundry room. I found that if I let it pile up, it is actually cheaper than doing small amounts of it. You pay a flat rate for the first like 10lbs. The first time I did it, I had 1 week of stuff and it was like $14. this time I had 2 weeks worth of stuff and it was only like $18. like I said pricey but worth it to me. Now I need someone to clean my place. I am good at light dusting, and washing the floor, but that is where my domestic talent ends.
