Daily Update

So let me first start off by telling you about our meeting thismorning. My work had
a meeting. It was just an informal information session. But they told us two
important things that apply to me. First, "plan to work more, a lot more." and
second "try not to waste time with emailing people." Oh Fudge. Why don't they tell
me just to wear a TIE to work! I thought that the meeting would go in a different
direction, due to the very recent 'letting go' of one of the girls there. But they
told us that we're in a good position for the future. But I just can't get over the
words 'late-nights' and 'Saturdays'! Hmmm I'm wondering if there are any other
degrees that I might want in life. Now might be a good time. But oh, wait... I've
tasted the fruit of a paycheck and the goodness of life. How can I turn from that
now?! OH, I don't know! The inner turmoil! What do I do?! Oh, and we all have to
show up BY 9am now. (I'm going to have to set my alarm clock back a few minutes.)

So anyway. I was productive at work. I only checked my email 5 times. and
responded to two. I met with Rick and Silvia for lunch. It was nice. They would
make such a good couple. (don't tell them I said that again though).

After work, the Fairburn Blondes and I went running. It was an OK day. I tell you,
I think I'm getting slower! Or is it that they are getting a lot faster. They are
probably taking steroids, or 'speed', or something weird like that. To gather proof
of this accusation, before its officially made, I'm going to time each of our runs
to see their rate of increase, and then average that against the rate of increase of
a younger person, and then an older person. By doing that it will give me percise
data which will let me know what an average person should be. Then there's the
delema of labeling them as average (cause we all know that they are both above
average, right girls). But we'll get to that marker when we need to. Today wasn't
that unique, yet similar to yesterday I ran like a zebra, but not as many stripes.
My stride was a bit shorter, my neck hung a little lower, and a little less aero
dynamic. There was a point where we were facing a strong headwind. I think we all
know I'm not as aerodynamic as the other people I run with. Maybe that is why I'm
getting slower, cause the wind is getting stronger. I don't suppose it helped that
a bunch of wild 'man eating' pigmy's were chasing me throwing their little spears
and shooting their poisonous darts at me. It was like I was fighting my way through
the Enchanted Amazon. Ya whatever.

So after that the sunroof on my car broke in the 'tilted-open' position. I was
going to be the cool guy on the block and drive around with the roof open, but that
backfired. I think the gears got locked in place. I'm not worried about rain, just
dirt, birds, and bums. I'll start pounding on it tomorrow in the daylight maybe.

After almost falling asleep in the shower I just remembered that it was 'Lost' TV
night, so I had to race over there with all the cool air breezing in. It was
actually an interesting show this week. I brought my computer with me in case it
got borring. Then Renee and I were just watching the news on the couch. we were
sitting on opposite ends of the couch, both watching TV, Thats all. our hands were
to ourselves, nothing more. Emily must have thought that we were boring, so she
went to bed, then eventually we left. Thats all, nothing more.

Today I had to send a bunch of Church related emails, my first venture as a
cooperating-chairperson of the Ministry of Propaganda (or activities committee). I
think it went good from my end, but we'll see how it all pans out by the Activity on
Saturday. I can see my email address getting put on a bunch of 'blocked' lists
after all that I asked them to help with. For a second there I thought I could hear
the delete button being pressed through the internet. But I just hoped that I was
imaging that.

Oh, Jill, did you ever find someone to transport a BBQ for you? I forgot to ask
earlier. I can see good things happening with that, so I think its in my best
intrest to get that taken care of, if you know what I mean.

LUnch was sponsored by Corner Bakery again. I think that's a first for two days in
a row at a place. I don't even think I've done that with marvins. I couldn't find
a sponsor by dinner, so I had to skip it.

I'm listening to the Irish Rovers right now.
