Polka mania

This is too freakin' funny! It's nice to hear what some songs sound like...in Polka form! ;)

Another year older

So today was my birthday. I spent today basically doing nothing! ;) I did do some cleaning, but that was it.

After being in a "screw it" mood most of last week in regards to work, I've been debating again doing more work on a job search. I'm not exactly sure if the climate around here is right to find another job, but it doesn't help when you work around people who are either anit-social, jaded beyond jaded, or mental cases...at least in my particular part of the building. I worry about a few of the people I work with...you can't really tell if the business has just gotten to them or not. I do like where I work...it was a dream to get there and make sure I stayed put, but now I'm still questioning whether this was the right direction to go.

That's life, right?

Anyway, I'll get over it. I've decided that I may need to tweak my work schedule. I know some people doing the same job who go in and get off about one-two hours earlier...so that might be something to give me more purpose...maybe reignite a little passion about my work.

Ok, who cares... Enough about work! ;)

Here are some people dead or alive that I share my birthday with:
*1724 - Sir Arthur Guinness, Irish brewer (d. 1803)
*1896 - F. Scott Fitzgerald, American novelist (d. 1940)
*1936 - Jim Henson, American puppeteer (d. 1990)
*1948 - Phil Hartman, Canadian actor (d. 1998)

Yeah, whatever...

I took a well deserved day off today. I was tired of dealing with people at work and really needed to be out of the office for at least one day on top of my weekend. So much crap I've had to ponder lately (not to mention since March) that I've been in a semi-constant state of disgust at work and don't really feel like doing anything new. When you can't make any fundamental changes to what you're doing, you lose some of your passion.

To put it shorter...I've been in one of those "screw it" moods most of the week. ;)

Also, I was out and about today for a little while and ran across CHRISTMAS stuff being set out at a department store. IT'S SEPTEMBER STILL! However, I do remember the year I was working at Sears and had to help hang decorations...BEFORE October 1! Ack! Come on...let's at LEAST get past Halloween!

Yeah toast!

Don't ask how I found it...just watch it. ;) I heard this song for the first time about three years ago and it still cracks me up. Cool stuff, most definitley.

I would have embedded the video clip, but it wouldn't let me. Yeah toast!

Finally, something new

The new owner came in to the station on Thursday and discussed what he had planned. Thankfully, none of us will be fired...just yet at least. ;) I'm also staying put...for those of you who might have wondered. I might look into other opportunities in the next year, but for now, I'm staying put.

Enjoy the following... If I had my own game show, this is how it would work! Muahahahahahaha! ;)

Nothing new...yet

If I actually find out something at work, it'll be on Thursday...maybe. At the moment, I'm in one of those "I don't give a rip" moods.

It has been a decent week thus far. I've been quite busy, actually. Apart from the normal work schedule, I joined the Tuscaloosa Winds community band on Monday. It's made up mostly of UA students, but several others are like me...professionals who are either getting back into the musical "swing" or those who play regularly in community bands. It was nice to know I still have a little talent left, and can hold my own...though I'm only playing third part trombone. I think I could have taken on second part, but I need time to build my playing back up...so maybe next year. It's nice to say I'm in a band, rather than I "used" to...

Be warned...more eighties fun below...

Could be an interesting week...

I should know come Monday what's going to happen to my website. "Should" know... We'll see if it actually happens.

If it does happen, I'll know my new work load. I already know I'll have an additional website on my plate...but there is a chance SEVEN to EIGHT more are to come. Can I handle THAT? Stay tuned! ;)

Anyway, enjoy Lewis Black below... I'm hoping to see him live in the 'ham in the next few weeks.

Up late

I should be in bed...but I'm not. Whatever... But I am wearing my sunglasses...at night... HA! Enjoy the corny video/song below. (I'm not actually wearing sunglasses...just so you know) ;)
