Sequential Thoughts of the Day
Between yesterday, er, sorry, the time just rolled over, the day before (July 16, 2008) somewhere around noon and this morning (now being yesterday) around the same have to rate somewhere up there in the three worse 24 hours I have had. I am not going to go into details and hopefully it will all work out in the near future. Anyway, I was supposed to be started a wonderful weekend of relaxation today (July 18th). I am still taking off the time, as I just need it. But instead I am putting myself to four tasks that must be accomplished.
- Get my armour cleaned up, this includes likely removing the strapping, cleaning and polishing, followed by blueing it with heat, and replacing the strapping.
- Working toward the three projects that I have in my head that could possibly lead to my eventual no longer working for someone else – probably the best use of my time, but note that I REALLY need a break from logical type of work and hence am not really sure how far I will progress on this one.
- Drink as much as I can this weekend so I don’t (or perhaps so I will) ponder what I am missing out on this weekend compared to what was the original plan.
- Given my previous vow to write at least once a day for the next little bit, make sure I have something to write about here on the blog. Given number 3 above and my wonderful start toward that goal, I am sure that I will have no problems with an extra blog or two. Just not sure if I will be able to keep my thoughts in order long enough to pursue some of those deeper thoughts that I have going that I so much enjoy trying to put to paper, er, CRT, er, LCD.
So, as I was driving home, I had a billion thoughts running through my head about the day since slightly before lunch today. I thought some of them were rather interesting. Of course, keep in mind, as you read them, I am well into my cups for a second time, and would find most anything interesting if it spoke slowly enough right now. I have tried to arrange them close to chronological occurrence to give a good indication of my day as well as avoid just a random mess.
- Crap and other much more perverse expletives, I am going to miss her… what am I going to do this weekend now? I really need to get out of the office and be away so I can recharge. Did I really screw up this bad? What am I going to do this weekend now, that will take my mind off her and work?
- F*&(, I can’t believe while person 1 was talking to me and person 2 knocked on the door, I did pay close enough attention and reset the config file on what I am working on. Double F*&* – I didn’t reset it, it lost itself and hence, when it tried to rewrite and didn’t think it could, it instead just erased itself. I am distracted – not focused.
- I am ahead on hours from a long time back, I need to deliver the camera to JJ. Perhaps I will do that and just go on to Lexington – catch my favorite watering hole in the afternoon. Besides, I like the bartender there in the afternoon/early evening.
- ()&*, the bartender’s name is the same as the one I am missing. What a way to try to put that thought aside.
- Double (*&), we call the bartender by the same short version of her name as well.
- Triple (*&)*)^, I need to run those scripts to generate the classified HTML before I get gone. Almost forgot about that. And since I have NOT yet made that automated and I am pretty sure where I have them, no one else has permissions to, I will have to do this on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
- Home run *()&)^& – the script ate the file one of the four files it was working. Looks vaguely like it didn’t like the one header that almost matched, but not quite, but was close enough to get it confused. I will manually finish this file and look into it later – like next Tuesday.
- On my way – but hot and sweaty – need to change.
- Got to drop off the camera and tell my boss see him on Tuesday – YEAH!
- Since I am off for a bit, not that I care at the office anyway, but I have not had my ear rings in for a while. If I don’t wear them, I am going to lose my holes.
- Yes – only had to hear that little crunch of pushing things through closed up skin on one whole – and it was tiny.
- Crap, that one ear-ring is ratty looking – need to stop at Wal-Mart and replace it to match the other two.
- Oh yeah, I needed to drop off my car payment too. Nearly forgot – good thing I am heading to Lexington.
- McCarty’s – why do I come to an Irish pub and drink American bourbon? They have this wonder Irish and Scottish whiskey – not to mention dark beers and cider on tap. Oh yeah, that’s right, fewer calories and carbs in bourbon and diet coke versus beer and the well bourbon (hence the mixed drink) is a lot cheaper the fancy whiskey’s from abroad on tap.
- How the heck did he procure a barrel of the stuff? Oh – quietly.
- ER bourbon is smooth – on the rocks only kind of sipping stuff. Thanks to the guy two over to the left.
- Why is this 50-ish year old woman sitting here trying to hit on me?
- God I miss the blue eyes she has. So big and bright.
- Suggestion of La Deauville’s – which is up by Transy – my old stomping ground. Walked by it the other night – looked posh. It is French in theme (couldn’t guess that could you?) Sure I will give it a try.
- Egads – bourbon was $3.00 at McCarthy’s and now it is $6.50? Wow that is for the well bourbon – heck you can get Tullamore at McCarthy’s for that.
- Nice place, fits in being a block over from Transy – bunch of mostly rich snobs, er, friends like what I went to school with.
- May have to bring the one here sometime if we work things out.
- Oh yeah, I was working at IBM during school – so I was sort of one of those wasn’t I? Not really, never had a bankroll or the old money – but I could spend what I wanted when. What days were those.
- Well, the bartender is cute, but I think I am hungry. Mia’s is back down the street.
- Mia’s – metro sexual kind of place – but for down town Lexington hard to bet the food. They moved, first time I have actually been inside – less once before, when the grill was closed.
- Women who are interested in women are the most beautiful. Their hair is mostly too short though.
- Woman or man? The debate rages in my head. She was very pretty, but over the top if not in drag. Hard to say, but I don’t think there was an adams apple. Still can’t be sure.
- Message from L, a form student, older than me – she would like this place. Oh – actually her daughter H. Why is she messaging me? She is under age by a lot. She is one of the few women that almost makes me nervous. Attractive but to young and she knows it and teases. Youth – H. is nothing like the one – but they do share being much younger than me.
- Homosexual men – as no surprise are the most spiffy dressers.
- Why the hell did the code change – ear rings in the left ear mean straight – right meant not straight. Why did in change and why am I being asked by this woman if I gay? Oh yeah – I am at Mia’s and the times, well they have changed.
- Good food – seared tuna steak on a bed of greens – healthy too.
- Heading home – Bitzer is probably missing me. Just stop and get me something to get the buzz going again.
- (&*&) , this places close around 10:00.
- I will just stop here at the Applebees and get the happy hour. *(&)&, they closed at 11:00. What do they do, just roll up the sidewalks?
- Fine – just some beer at the gas station and I am on my way.
- Cold Irish red beer – not on my list – but oh well – neither was being home with Bitzer right now for the start of my long weekend.
Is this too much? Over the top? Stupid? I will evaluate in the morning – maybe.
An aside note, I am noticing an overwhelming tendency for both the category of life and frustrations to be applicable at the same time. Should that be telling me something?
Grrr… I just realized I left out the songs that were influencing the thoughts. I will either add those on the morrow or a new post depending on the mood and time I have. As for now, me and the beer and Bitzer are going to bed.
