You Cant Feel Your Helmet

Just got back from the pool. Ive been swimming every day since we left Michigan, at least once. Rigth now its about 75 degrees out and the locals are in their sweat shirts and long pants. I hope I dont become like these thin blooded sissies. I fear I might.

When Doves Cry

Theres an old lady who lives across the hall from us. She has one of those one handed dogs. (You know, the kind one kicks.) So the old lady rides around in a Rascal and the dog sits on it with her. Apparently getting in and out of ones home is quite an ordeal for the elderly and she sits outside her door for minutes while the dog barks.  This, naturally, drives our dogs crazy. Which drives me crazy.

If it were up to me, (fortunitally it isnt) once you are unable to enter and exit your home in less than 1 minute, you should be forced to live in a retirement community. Kinda like when a horse is put out to pasture.

Regaurding the dog; I wont feel bad when our door is "accidently" left open at 630 when she comes home my dogs run out and eat it.

Alls Ive gots to say is: It aint no rust down here and its glorious!

Youve Been Oriented

That was very odd. I went to this "orientation" just now. Orientation which according to the hr lady was about 3 hours long and started at 5. (An hour ago.) I waited for them to figure out what i was supposed to do, then some guy comes over and offers me a lolly pop and takes me to the meeting room. He explains that hes not sure which videos Im supposed to watch (and yes i am the only person being oriented) so well watch "this 1". He puts the video in and it starts playing and he talks throught the whole thing all about himself and Arizona. Then after the video ends he tells me all about the illigals and how they all carry guns and how its suicide to flip 1 off. Finally, when theres a brief brake, I stand up and then he says I can go. Wierd.

I Got What I Came For

Im a working man again. Its good to be productive again. My new boss is something else. He runs around like a chicken with its head cut off. At one point he tells me to check the water level in a battery, so I pop the cap off and hold it in my hand. A couple drips of water fall from the cap and he says to me "WHOOOAHHH, Dont spaz out man! Your spilling everywhere!" Ive also been told by 2 of my new coworkers that they hate him.

Coworker: Todays your first day?
Me: Yeah.
Coworker: How do you like it so far?
Me: Its pretty good.
Bossman goes running buy looking for head.
Coworker: Yeah, we pretty much all hate him.

So, this should prove to be interesting.

Asleep in Perfect Blue Buildings

We packed the family into the Man Scorpion yesterday and headed down to Tucson. It was a tight fit, but we made it with only minor scratches and bruses. We helped the gang from the South finish their big move. When the moving was done we went to see The Departed (Watch it!) and got some delicious pizza at Mammas.

On Friday I got the call from Sears. My background check and drug test results are back and I passed both. Im going to bring my tools up today and start Monday.
