dr love's new year

Well I'll start off complaining, just to make sure that all stays right w/ the world. (If I didn't, I'm sure that some of you wouldn't believe that it is actually me).

A pet peeve of mine: When employees close early & rush the customers out. (I'd go into the most recent occurance, but it hurts when I start ranting and the vein in my forehead beings to throb)

Second: My car insurance was suppose to go down now that I live in Wisconsin. And it did, for about a week. Then it went up $85 over six mo & I was sent a bill for $105. This after my new agent dropped the ball in transfering my insurance from Indiana & I almost drove 4 states away w/o any coverage. PLUS, according to the web site, I should be saving $100-$270 a year from what I'm getting now.

Supposedly someone is going to get back to me today or tomorrow...

ON TO THE GOOD NEWS

Guess what I did on Saturday?

Just about nothing. I slept in. Watched a movie. Cooked a frozen pizza. Then went out w/ some co-workers after they got off work to celebrate one guy's b-day.

The most important part of the above sentance is that I didn't go into work on Saturday. The first time since 2003 that I've had a Saturday off and didn't have to move to a different state, go to a family thing, or attend a wedding.

Then on Sunday I went to church & didn't have to rush out to get to work on time.

ahhhhh weekends... oh how they have not been the same in the middle of the week

Oh & somehow there was at least one good provision in the union contract that I'm under, in which I work 4 - 10 hour days. So I've had today (Monday) off as well. Three day weekend on the weekend. BAM!

Now here is your chance to laugh at me... b/c I have to be at work at 4am every day and wake up at 3am. Which is my new shift that I'm slowly, very slowly, starting to like & get used to. So more or less, work is getting better!

Any other news? I'm enjoying being a sudo-uncle to my cousin's daughter. She has learned to walk and the last time I saw her, her favorite toy was the stairs. Fun stuff.

Oh, and I got a Force FX Light Saber for Christmas. One of the coolest things EVER. Ever ever.

I think that's it for now. Minus the little thing that I talked to one of those girl type people for a couple hours last night in a cafe downtown, and we're suppose to get some raw fish on Wednesday night. ( <-- hopefully not my last words)
