My Glasses

Over the sailing trip I was on I did not mention I thought I left my glasses on the boat. For those of you who know me this is a big deal. I am legally blind and can not wear contacts for too long without having problems with them. As the idiot I am, Larry called me today because he got to the boat and could not find them. I researched my bags and realized I stuck the glasses in a side pocket of my bag. So I have my glasses now. Ironically, I wore my contacts on the trip for fear of loosing my glasses. I left work early today because I was basically falling asleep at my desk. We are doing a lot of work on code enforcement downtown and it is a rather daunting task. I am happy that my role is more monitoring progress and making sure progress is being made as opposed to handling everything myself. I have four rangers handling most of the hands-on work so I get to answer questions, do a little research, and handle the weird stuff that comes-up. Tonight, I am just staying home and trying to pick-up my room as best I can not being able to pick-up much. Although, I am watching Family Guy and was introduced to a rather odd term a "Cleveland Steamer." I will not go into detail about what it means (if you really want to know, look it up like I did but be warned). There are a lot of odd things that people come-up with. Sickly enough, I am curious about the etymology of this term but not enough to delve any deeper. There are somethings that are just a bit too much for me.

Two Posts In a Row

Since I took an extra day off of work, I thought I would go ahead and do another quick post. I was just surfing the web and realized that the Gay Appreciation Awards will be allowing on-line voting June 9-15. There are just a couple of categories I am going to vote on: bartender of the year and entertainer of the year. I definitely would love to see Coca get entertainer of the year and Will as bartender of the year. If you are so inclined, please take the time and cast a vote. I will try to post again closer to time to remind everyone. Other than that, I think I am going to have to go to the doctor. My left rib cage is hurting really bad now and I want to make sure I didn't fracture anything. Although if memory serves there isn't much they can do for it anyway.

Sailed Away and Made It Back

Well, I went sailing this past weekend and just got back home today. It was really a good time until last night when I managed to fall off the boat. My right leg is all scratched-up, somewhat deep in a couple of places. The bigger issue is my left ribcage is very tender and I think I may have bruised or cracked something. I am horrifically embarrassed and feel I should not be showing my face anytime soon. But you might notice my slide show is updated from all the things I have been doing this past couple of weeks. You can also refer to my picassa page if you want to see them separated. I also got an email today from an old friend that I used to work with at the rangers. She was kind of shocked to hear I was back in New Orleans and working for the program again. Part of me is a little ashamed that I am not really doing more with my life. I think right now, I am just feeling a little down and it kind of hurts to breath. I guess I really am a tragic mess.

Up Late

I had a great time tonight. I hung-out with friends (Ken, Will and Jeff). I do have to go into work in a couple of hours for some sort of immediate thing but I am ok with it I think. I just hate working so many days a week. Although my sailing trip to Pensacola will be soon so I can not complain too much. I just really hope I have the money to afford a good time. I think I need it. BTW if anyone has a sleeping bag I can use, I would appreciate it.

Just a Quick Note

I only have a few minutes before my tour but today has already been a crazy day. I am still working on the parcel by parcel survey database and system. I think we almost have all the bugs worked-out (Thank God!). I have to say I have some really great people working for me, willing to help me pull all of this together. Tonight, I am supposed to have several people on my tour which means I won't get to the Lantern in time for pizza, but I should have money to by my own. Mmmm...I can eat tonight!!! hehehe

It's Alive

Apparently my internet service provider found the time to finally fix my internet. I am back! Yay!! So today my head almost exploded at work due to the third database I have designed for these people. This one is a parcel by parcel survey of downtown and it makes my head hurt. So I left work early to relax before my tour and defrag. I mentioned going out of town, which can not happen too soon. I will be sailing over to Pensacola, Florida May 29-June 1. I am very excited about this. I have not been out of town since I did this last year and I have been burned-out/depressed for almost 2 months. Also, my friend Ken is coming into town for Memorial Day weekend. I like when Ken visits, it is nice to have someone to hang-out with and run around the quarter. The one odd thing about my life is most of my friends are bartenders and I rarely get to hang-out with them except when they are working. I will also mention that Tuesday was Will's birthday. I didn't say anything before because he really wanted something kind of low-keyed this year for his birthday. Well, that is all for now. Peace.

Still No Internet

Yes, that's right folks, still no internet. They are saying that it should be fixed by next Monday because they have to get a serviceman out to check the line or something crazy like that. LOther than that, things are going well. My friend Danny and I went yesterday and got my car completely taken care of so after months of dealing with the insurance company, the city and the State Troopers, my car is back road worthy! ROAD TRIP! As if I have time to take. I am actually taking a few days off the week after Memorial Day weekend to go sailing with my friends Larry, Carl, Will, and a few others. I went last year and had a lot of fun, well except for the evil Cujo Dolphins (long story). Otherwise, I am at work right now wearing down the clock, and I think it is just about time to go home.
