"So far today I'm doing all right. I have not gossiped, lost my temper, been grumpy, greedy, nasty, selfish, or self-indulgent. I have not whined, cursed, or eaten any chocolate. However, I am going to get out of bed in a few minutes, and I will need a lot more help after that."

The Government is watching you...
Topic: Work
It amazes me what people will do when they don't know they are being watched.

About a year ago we installed a security camera and every so often I will go to the monitor just to see what is going on outside. Well today as I was turning the camera around I noticed something that looked a little odd on the dam. I zoomed in and noticed two men in their 50's flying a kite. That's right...a kite. I watched them for awhile in amazement and then watched as one guy looked around...not seeing anyone he walked over to the cement wall...unzipped and proceeded to urinate on the wall...right out there in the open in broad daylight. I decided to sound the alarm to scare him off and from his reaction I think he peed all over his jeans. whoops. LOL

Adds comedy to my life.

All is quiet on the home front

Fridays are always quiet here. We have some rangers that are on an alternate work schedule so they have off every other Friday. My boss called in this morning and said he hurt his leg and is unable to walk on it so he wont make it in today. So that only leave 3 of us in office. It is so nice out today (will be in the 70's this afternoon) which makes it hard to be stuck in the office. None of us seem to be motivated to do much of anything. I will have to find an excuse to go out. I am duty ranger this week so I can just say that I have to go out and patrol.

I leave Monday for a week long trip to Huntsville, AL. Not looking forward to it AT ALL. I always enjoy meeting rangers from other projects but Alabama is not an exciting travel destination. Plus I hate to fly. Oh well I will be there to learn not sight see.

I played around with the blog site and added some links (They are on the right hand side of the screen) Some people have complained that the pictures on my site were old so there are some updated ones as well as the pictures from my trip to Ireland.

Enjoy!

Not nice at all

For those of you who read my friend Tanya’s Blog you know that she often teases me about my addiction to the tv show LOST. It is true that my life revolves around this show. I am constantly online reading spoilers and bulletin boards about the show. Well this morning I had an aweful trick played on me....

Okay so I am getting ready this morning...listening to 96 Rock as I do every morning and I hear that they were going to talk about last night's new episode of LOST. I was confused because last night was a repeat episode. I should know...I watched it. Then DJ Crash came on and said there was a new episode on at 10PM last night after the repeat episode. He said that the survivors didn't get to enter the numbers on time and that the blast doors closed sealing in Jack and Mr. Eko. Then all the air was sucked out of the hatch killing off Jack and Eko. I was furious that I missed this important episode. I came into work and went to talk to a co-worker about it. She was mad as well because she also is a huge fan of the show. We searched the internet and there was no mention anywhere of the new episode. I then emailed the DJ and got this response back...


Yes we were joking. Since last night was a repeat and last week's
episode was so bad, we just decided to do something different and run with
the joke. It was quite fun actually...people seemed really pissed that
they missed the episode. One guy even said he was trading his Time
Warner cable service for Dish Network because we told him that's where the
episode aired. Keep listening, we won't be doing that joke again.

Crash

LOL I can't believe they did that to me. I was so upset. After finding out it was a joke I then realized how much of a dork I was about getting upset over missing an episode of a tv show. LOL



Hope your day is going better than mine.

I am hoping that using this blog will make it easier for me to post. I know I haven't been good at updating my webpage but it was just to hard to type up a word document and then upload it and then post it to the site. For the past three months I have been posting a lot of stuff to my friend Tanya's site and she keeps complaining that I am stealing her thunder. LOL

For those of you who are new to my site you can access an about me page as well as some pictures at www.angelfire.com/md2/thenest

Hope you enjoy the new format. I love to read your comments so send them through.
