Can you image, me on Vacation?

/

Yes, it's true. I'm actually going to be taking a day, that's 1 day, of vacation. Well it wasn't really my idea, but if I don't take it they will. See to me vacation is like a retirement or severance is more likely. It's money in the bank so to speak because they HAVE to pay me that when I leave. Now my paid time off is a different story. They don't have to pay me that but I don't take that either cuz at the end of the year they pay that back to me. It's like a christmas bonus. A crappy bonus but a bonus none the less.... Anyway I plan on setting on my ass playing video games with Brandt. Pretty exciting huh?

It’s HOT…..

/

So let me look at the good ole thermometer. Its 94 degrees settin right here at my desk. I guess that means it's too hot to work and I should go home. In the past two days we have had both of our main A/C units go out. We have some portable units in the server room but we really don't wanna sacrifice the servers for our comfort. Needless to say we have moved our office into the server room. It's crowded but comfortable. Going to see Men in Black II tonight. That should be fun. I'll need to get a shower before we go though. Everyone will appreciate that. As you can tell my computer is back up. It's been down for the last day or so while I moved into this hell hole of an office. It'll be nice once the A/C is working again but not just quite yet. Anyhoo.... I'm headed to the ole ponderosa....

Brandt’s Return……

/

Well Brandt is back home finally. Well at least for a week while Rachel is on her "Honeymoon". I picked him up at her hotel Thursday night. Things were a little awkward between us, as I'm sure would be expected. It wasn't as bad as I expected but worse than I hoped. I really hate feeling this way cuz I know I'm not supposed to. But I'm sure given some time I'll get used to the idea. So after working the 4th and 5th I decided I needed to take Brandt to see my mom and dad. It was a pretty long weekend. The drive was crazy. On the way back we sat at a dead stand still for over an hour out in the middle of no where... All due to the fact that people can't get into a single lane to go through a construction area. 5 miles of backup for no good reason. Anyhow, I probably should get some work done now........

I’m Back……..

/

Well it's official, Oklahoma doesn't have the worst roads on the planet. They are 2nd worse next to Boston. Holy crap batman. It's a wonder anybody ever gets anyplace in that town. Well I'm done with traveling for a while, well at least a week or so while Brandt is here. I haven't heard anything about the grand ole wedding yet, but I'm pretty sure nobody spoke up when they said "speak now or forever hold your peace." I'm sure I'll hear soon enough and I'll report back then. Anyhoo.... I need to get something to eat. Catch ya on the flip flop.... Over and out!

See ya…..

/

So I'm leaving for a three day trip to a plant that has been closed for a month already, When I get back I have to work both the 4th and the 5th. I may possibly have to move office on Saturday and Sunday, and when the week is finally over my ex-wife will be remarried. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need lots of alcohol to get through all of this crap.... Sometimes I wonder where I'm at in my life.

So it’s raining…….

/

Yeah, it's raining.... and has been most of the day. I worked this morning. That was about the only dry time all day. I'm getting the rest of my laundry done so I can leave for Boston tomorrow. It's been a pretty exciting day so far. I took a 4 hour nap this afternoon. It felt really good but I haven't been right ever since. Anyhoo.... I gotta get back to watching Friends....

I’m Hungry…..

/

Today I put up pics of my TV that I've been rambling on about for the last week. They are on the main page at www.williamhughes.net. I'm really like it alot. I watched Top Gun on it this afternoon. It's an OLD movie that still looks really good on a NEW tv. Let the healing begin. Soooooooo...... I'm sittin here doing laundry tonight. Sounds like the normal wild Saturday night around here. I'm going to pack tomorrow for my Boston trip on Monday.

Bigger is Better…….

/

Ya know, they say bigger is better. I've always been the first one to speak up against the bigger is better moto, ya know, seeing how.... well anyway. I've never belived it. Well today I purchased a 61" Sony HDTV Ready big screen. I won't get it till tomorrow morning, but I'm tellin ya, It's nice. I'm sure I won't leave the house for about a week, cept I have to go to Boston, but other than that I'm sure I'll be parked on the leather with a beer in my hand watching a friends marathon. Can you image 61" of Jennifer Aniston? Well anyway I'll let ya know how it is.....

Web Site Change…….

/

Just a little note concerning the web site.... It's in the process of pretty major changes. I've had some issues with it being operational. It's hurting my head.... I have a temp site up now that actually looks pretty good. I'm going to keep working on the real deal but if for some reason it doesn't turn out like I want, I think I may take the temp site and run with it.... Anyhoo....

P.S. I'll fill ya in on the rest of my life including the TV a bit later....

Out Again……

/

So I guess I'm headed outta town again. I'm going to Boston for a day or so. You'd think when they fly you around the planet that means you’re someone, but what does it mean when they send you to a plant that closed down almost two months ago. I don't know what to think about that. When I get back there is a change I'll get Brandt back for a few days. Yaaaaaaa Hoooooo.........You can't see what my legs are doing right now but that's the happy dance. Well I think I'm going to take some time off an go do some things around the house. Well ya know that's if I can get out the door.... See ya!

Confused…….

/

So, next week my ex-wife is getting remarried. How am I supposed to feel about this? Normally, if you ask me how I feel about anything or anybody I really can't tell you, mostly cuz I don't know. For some reason I can tell you exactly how I feel about this. I feel like crap. It hurts. I'm not at all happy with the outcome. I know she is my Ex and I shouldn't think twice about it but I do. It feels like I'm being divorced all over again. I've been pretty much forced out of her life for almost a year now and that should have given me a clue. But no.... I'm not that bright. It sucks when we can't talk while her soon to be husband is around. Wouldn't want to upset him. I don't have anything to say that he coulnd't hear. I think it just make him jealous to hear her having a nice conversation with me. I haven't gotten to spend much time with my little buddy Jarrett over the last year. He doesn't really know who I am any more. That makes me sad cuz I made a promise to him and me that I'd be there for him. Well I guess I still am, he just doesn't know it yet. I sometimes feel that if it weren't for Brandt that we wouldn't talk at all. That's sad cuz a year ago we were best friends if nothing else. I know that everybody tells me that we seem perfect for each other, and that may be, but we both know where our relationship stands. I'm not saying that there was ever going to be anything more between us but with her getting married I guess that will ensure that fact and close out this chapter in our relationship. That and the fact our friendship isn't quite where it was makes me feel like I'm loosing twice. Once again much like being divorced the first time.... Only this time no paperwork to file. I know nobody out there really cares about all this but it sure does help to ramble on sometimes like this..... Well anyway...... Til my next rambling.

I’m Back…….

/

Well I'm finally back from Colorado. I know it was only two days but it felt like two weeks. Pretty much every step in getting there and getting back was prue hell. I'm not going to go into depth on what all happened, cuz you really don't wanna know. I wine to much anyway. But I'm back and feeling pretty darn good about it as well. Of course now I have to watch two movies I rented. I was going to watch them on the way there and back but the battery on my laptop died big time, so no dice...... Well I've gotta get. I need to go get something to eat.... See ya.....
