Farewell Mr.Fife........

As I'm sure many of you may know Don Knots died the other day.I'm not quite sure what he died of but it is sad to see such a great actor go. I remember as a child watching Andy Griffith and Barney Fife thwart the evil in Mayberry. Or even later on on Matlock when he would make the occational appearance. I used to watch the Scooby Doo show when he would make the occational appearance. My favorite movie used to be The incredible Mr. Limpus. It was an incredible loss and he will be missed greatly.

updates and such.........

well I figured I'd update because theres not much to do around here while I wait for comptech to start. I've found myself stuck in a rut lately. mostly with work, the same routine work day after work day. Don't get me wrong I like my job and it pays fairly decent but standing there scanning things all day, day after day get's really monotonus after a while. So I asked my manager last week if I could get a transfer over to deli as kind of a break from routine and she said she'd ask and yesterday she said they were all full so i'm back to my scanning. It's weird, when your pushin carts you can't wait to be a cashier then you become a cashier and your bored out of your gourd. Hell if they schedule me for a bottle shift it's pretty good because most of the time i'm not on register except for the occasional spurt of busyness. other than that i'm in my own little world in the bottle room tidying things here and there, changing machines when they get full. And i'm basically my own boss in there. I dunno I guess it's kind of expected when you work at the same job for a while you get kind of bored. I also haven't been getting shit for sleep lately. I fall asleep fine I just wake up and feel like I was just in a mosh pit or something and i'm tired as hell. It takes me at least a period and a half to fully wake up. and it's not like I stay up till all hours of the night I go to bed at like 10:30 and have to be up at 10 of 7. Maybe I have sleep apnea like mum i dunno. Been building a computer lab in automotives the past few weeks and it's been like pulling teath the whole way. Had to drill through concrete which sucked, messed up my shoulder for a few days. At first they wanted me to use a hand drill for it and I told them it couldn't be done because It would burn out the engine in the drill and i'd probably hurt myself so I went down to the woodshop and borrowed a hammer drill and went back and told them that this is what you use to drill through concrete. Got my state tax return yesterday ehich was nice. It gave me a chance to get a few things done to my car. I got new head light bulbs, spark plugs, fuel system cleaner. Now all I have to get done is the rear sway bar and a little bondo work done on the underside of the trunk. whelp I should wrap up this post it's almost time for comptech to start.
