This Life is Temporary

Is now over. Today I quit.

Why? Because my knees were burning on every hill (believe me there’s a lot of em) and I was getting laid off next week anyway. Also, I want to spend that time better anyway.

As for OPC, I got an email asking me to do an interview. I’m assuming its going to be over the phone, but hey, skype or IM would be cool.

Need to back the hell off. Seriously.

This is a blogging site, people’s opinions are their own. They are not trying to force it on you and you do not have to adhere to their every opinion just because you follow them.

And if you don’t like that, unfollow. It’s as simple as that. The last thing someone needs when they log onto their stress reliever/afternoon habit/social network is someone else spamming them with angry messages about how wrong their opinion is.

And you know what? Maybe you’re the one with the problem. Ever think of that? Or are you too busy attacking other people so you don’t feel the pain anymore?

Grow up. If you’re that sensitive, maybe the internet isn’t the right place for you.

My knees are killing me and therefore I am quitting this job early.

I thought I would be able to hold out until my layoff date on August 5th, but after today I’m done. Normally my knees don’t bother me until later at night and then are fine the following morning. On worse days they hurt when I get home at 4h30. Today they were hurting at 9h30 in the morning :/

So I told the supervisor that I would be able to finish the week and work tomorrow, but I wouldn’t be coming in on Monday. He took it pretty well.

Everyone went in today expecting to be rained out at any minute. Instead the rain held off and it misted all day long.

Results: everyone and everything was soaked, and nobody could get to the truck fast enough at the end of the day.

So nobody had a question? Nobody?

There’s 250 of you guys, and nobody was even mildly curious about any one of those topics?

I was so thirsty and tired after work. I tried to get some more fluids once I got home, but I needed to cool off first. Now I’m finally cooled off, but the thirst is back.

It always comes back.

Hey Jesus, I could really use that living water now. The kind that gives you life everlasting. And I mean that non-metaphorically. Seriously, I’m very dehydrated.

I like it when my shirt smells like her.

Pfffttt as if America is the only place with violence.

Well I was resting on the stereotype of “Americans love their guns”. From one American to another, I think its understandable

But that last set of questionable gunshot noises has me on edge. And I know what you’re thinking, it’s probably just fireworks, but I know what fireworks smell like and I’m downwind of the noise.

It smells like gunpowder.

Going to be paying careful attention to both local traffic and the news.

I just found an unmarked road that looks passable and appears to lead straight into the next town. It not only goes straight to the main road between the it and the following townships, but it would cut a full 10min off the regular route.

Now to see if its not just some ATV trail that the Google team thought was an actual road…

Which is conveniently attached to a Chapters bookstore I might add. Listening to the barristas chat with some customers, to the quiet swing jazz in the background, and to the shallow conversations between old acquaintances.

Feeling a little off this morning, and I don’t like it

Promises which are forgotten are still promises.

Promises which are forgotten and broken are still broken.

I’ve messed up and hate it. I’m sorry.

Since I gave a personal update.

Here’s whats new:

1. Amanda and I are official.
2. A family issue got me out of the house and I ended up staying at Tim’s for a night.
3. I finally got some sort of response to my OPC application.
4. Registered for courses in the Fall even though I will be dropping them if I get the OPC position.
5. I’ve decided I’m going to buy a proper tailored suit (to go with the cuff links)
6. My knees are absolutely killing me these days, I blame the summer job and knee braces which are too small

Other than those little tidbits, not much has changed here. Any details you guys want on this stuff? Then ask away.

Had to change my url, some people irl found my page. Hope it doesn’t confuse anyone too greatly.

Ladies and Gentlemen, skinny and stout,
I’ll tell you a tale I know nothing about;
The Admission is free, so pay at the door,
Now pull up a chair and sit on the floor.

One fine day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight;
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other.

A blind man came to watch fair play,
A mute man came to shout “Horray!”
A deaf policeman heard the noise and
Came and killed those two dead boys.

He lived on the corner in the middle of the block,
In a two-story house on a vacant lot;
A man with no legs came walking by,
and kicked the lawman in his thigh.

He crashed through a wall without making a sound,
into a dry creek and suddenly drowned;
The long black hearse came to cart him away,
But he ran for his life and is still gone today.

I watched from the corner of the big round table,
The only eyewitness to facts of my fable;
But if you doubt my lies are true,
Just ask the blind man, he saw it too.

Any thoughts?

Because we had seen fish jumping all evening last week.

Results: no catches, only a few nibbles.

How does that happen?

Is how much my idealized gaming laptop will cost me on the Dell customization site.

Would it be worth it? Heck yes. Will I be buying it? Not for a while yet :(

I picked up an 18 round clip for a steal. $10 off a friend who’s moving away. It’s sad that’s he’s going, as he’s a good friend and HvZ comrade, but seeing how i got to skim through his Nerf gear…. Yeah I’m conflicted on that one.

Anywho, so now I’ve got my gear down to a Barricade in a thigh holster and my Longstrike with the 18-clip in my hands. Then, of course, there’s the Maverick backup and the other six 6-clips I have from previous upgrades, so I think I’m all set for the next game on August 6th.

I’m only 11 years late.

But meh, I’ve got them all on my kindle so I might as well.
