Leave a comment

GeotargetDear 2006,

Please be nicer to everyone than your older sibs have been! I got along ok with 2005, but really liked the time I spent with 2002-2003 a lot more then ’04 and ’05 combined. Let’s get off to a good start and keep things as full of peace, love and happiness as possible.

Trying hard to not sound too much like a hippie,

Your Friend,
Scotto

I’ve said that more than a few times in my life.

I’ll refrain from pointing any fingers today, mostly because it seems like that no matter where I point, I’ll hit that situation regardless.

Computer’s video card is on backorder. What the heck. Expected a in a week or so. Cripes… at this rate, I’d just be happy to get my device back before my birthday at the top of February.

Took paperwork home with me last night, just so I could get it finished, because the office needs have been so hectic the past week or two that I can’t sit down for 90 minutes to crank out the proper thought required for the police interviews, data crunching, and etc without being bugged ever 15-20 minutes for something like “Scott, could you show me how to forward my email to someone again?” or “Burn me 20 CDs of that PowerPoint Presentation, would you?… oh, and could you customize ’em for the departments?”

Brainless, tedious stuff, but the vast majority of the folks there just don’t know how to do that sort of thing… and what’s more, they don’t want to learn how. So, I go from being an underpaid Net Admin / Webmaster / Police Liason / Child Advocate, and turn into a highly paid power user because every 4/5 people there is a technical uglato.

GeotargetDr Who Christmas Special was pretty groovy, and I think that I like the new actor as the doc. (I was worried he’d be too much of a pretty boy. The preview for the next episode looks good, too.

Christmas at the ‘borgs in ’96. (Compare to the ‘borgs in ’05) Cathi hasn’t aged save for longer hair, Elizabeth is a young lady rather than a tot. I’ve lost weight and some of my beard, Dave’s Gained a little weight, and Who knows where Eryn, Brian, Brian, and Bev are… Leisa’s a mommy, as is Cathi. I still have that shirt, last worn on walkabout 2 weeks ago. It’s still in great shape… amazingly comfy and durable. Only a wee bit faded.

Thursday already! Old man 2005 is going to make way for Baby 2006’s stinky diaper very soon!

I called CompUSA yesterday, and requested a progress report on my system, including an ETA on the Graphics card that was due nearly two weeks ago. After being on hold for about 15 minutes, they said that they’d call me back shortly with the answer. They never did.

ADP came by the office yesterday, all sweetness and light. She wants her job back, because she hates her new one. I really don’t see *that* happening. She and RS are semi-buds these days, now that ADP is no longer a part of the company.

8060 – Wednesday.. back to work for 2.5 days.

GeotargetPicked up a gift for myself… rather grown-up.. two dress shirts (dark green plaid and gray plaid) , two pair of pants (sort of a blue-gray, and a charcoal gray), three pair of dress socks (black), and a new pair of shoes (Black dress sneaks). $240, and that’s on sale. It can be tough buying nice clothes for the jolly green giant. Nothing is ever truly inexpensive, though it might be made cheaply.I’d rather drop the extra $10 per item and get something that’ll survive twice as long and hang in a more flattering and comfortable way on the body.

It’s getting harder and harder to find clothes not made in China or Indonesia, and even stuff “made in the USA” is questionable, it seems.

I’m the ape of the death and I don’t care
‘Cause I’m the monkey with the loverly hair
Its all fluffy and shiny too
‘Cause I got that miracle wax from Naboo

Don’t be cynical it’s a follicle miracle
I said don’t be cynical I get waxing lyrical

8058 – Tuesday day off! Booyah again!

Leave a comment

Geotargetre: the get together at mom’s place… bro was asked specifically to show up in a drug/alcohol-free state, so mom wouldn’t be embarrassed in front of Wilts’ folks. He arrived after having stopped off at the bar, looking grimy and disheveled. He mentioned that his pressure cleaning biz is taking off and showed me that he had some funds in the bank… good for him. Maybe he can pay back some of the dinero he owes the momster or me. I caught him in lies a few times during the day, including how he got there “a friend” “a bus” and if he’d been drinking.

I don’t think that I’ll be sharing me addy with him anytime soon, especially since he lied to me about being in Boynton. He declined a ride home, I suspect because he didn’t want to have to turn around and go back to Hollywood.

On the upside, Wilt, mom, Rosa, Yitzi and the rest of the guests were cool enough, and there was a ton of food. (I brought home a lot of broccoli casserole and a tin of cookies). There was an interesting blend of Portuguese, Hebrew and English conversations going on….I wish I understood more of the non-English stuff that was going on in my periphery.

I’d already received my big giftie, (the futon mattress and cover), but my sticking had some more goodies in it. A few Newt toys (I think he’s still partial to the toys he got from the Strawberry shortcake bag when Lisa/Lisa visited) and I got the usual stocking fare. Lip Balm, a new toothbrush, hand sanitizer, some chocolates, a notepad and sharpie pen.

Thanks to Sandy for the flickr pro account!

Green iguanas originate from the rain forests of northern Mexico to southeastern Brazil where the temperatures and humidity are high. Iguanas live in the trees and bask in the sun. They eat only vegetation: up to 50 different kinds of leaves, flowers, and fruits.

Green iguanas are egg layers. Like many turtles, the eggs are buried in the sand by the mother and once the eggs hatch, the hatchlings are on their own. They can grow up to 7 feet in length and weigh 25 pounds. With proper care, they may live 15 years or more.
