Family Photos

February 22nd, 2008
Tags:

I’m not a big fan of having my picture taken at all, but my oldest brother is wanting to get us all together and go get some family photos taken since we have all grown older.  The last ones we had taken were at the old firestation next to our Elementary school probably 18 years [...]

5-Year High School Reunion

February 17th, 2008
Tags: ,

There’s nothing like a slap in the face from the hand of reality to make you realize how quickly time passes by.  I got a message from a friend that I went to high school with a few days ago that our 5 year class reunion was coming up this summer sometime.  I think I’ve [...]

Looking At Time In Numbers

January 31st, 2008
Tags: , ,

Today is a very slow day here at work, so I’m rather bored.  And as my birthday rapidly approaches, , I often wonder where the time has gone.  So in doing that, I figured I would break out the ole calculator and just get an idea of things.  Some of the numbers are eye opening [...]

Long term planning

January 16th, 2008
Tags: , , ,

As the new year came, my work offered me a chance to participate in their 403b plan.  I saw this as a chance to make an instant 50% return on the first 6%, 50¢ on each $1 invested, that I chose to have withdrawn from my check and placed in it, so I naturally signed up for [...]

Finally Almost That Time

January 4th, 2008
Tags: ,

That thing that I live for is almost here, the weekend, 20 minutes and counting.  Not quite sure why, as I usually don’t do much, but that’s what I look most forward to during the week.  And what a long short week (3 days) this has been.  Between it being in the 20°s outside and [...]

Happy New Year!

January 1st, 2008
Tags: , ,

Over the night the year changed from ‘07 to ‘08.  Me, I don’t quite understand all of the excitement around the New Year Holiday.  I think that’s because I’m not a drinker at all, and this day is nothing more really than for your coworkers to have a chance to work off any hang over [...]

Christmas is over now

December 26th, 2007
Tags:

Christmas actually went better than I thought it would.  That’s not to say that there wasn’t any awkwardness or any putting on the spot, but I’ll just say that there was less of that than I had originally expected.

Another long weekend coming up

December 21st, 2007

5:00PM starts the beginning of another 4 day weekend. With this being the second consecutive one, I can honestly say that I could so get used to it. I think that most everyone could as well, except for those diehard “I love my job more than anything” type people. I work with a few of [...]

A Genuine Thank You

December 21st, 2007

I don’t know what it is about some people, but some don’t appreciate a thing.  For some people, a genuine ‘thank you’ is all that is needed to let them know that you appreciate what they have done.
My dad was telling us recently that he picked up a couple of biscuits from Wendy’s for a [...]
