Sometimes I just have to shake my head and walk away. At work there is one employee that this happens often with. I have never met someone who is so obviously clueless in my life until him. I cannot understand how people can walk through life with such a lack of common sense and still be alive. It makes it even worse that somehow this person made it to a supervisory position and others have to answer to him. I am just thankful that he is not my boss. Unfortunately I am not his superior either, or I would have gotten rid of him. I wish I knew why they hired someone so unbelievably stupid.

I just can’t get enough of this comedian. He is hilarious. I used to think that these puppet dudes were stupid until this guy came out. He has a way with his comedy that really makes it work. He has a lot of puppets too. I am going to go see him the next time he comes to my area for sure.
A little blues
Even guys have to clean house sometimes. Mine is in desperate need of it, so I have kicked on a little blues and am cleaning the house from top to bottom. I am not one of those guys that likes for someone else to come in and clean. Then I can’t find anything. That is okay though, because my mom gave me really good home training as she says. My place isn’t a wreck or anything, it just needs dusting, vacuuming and such. The kind of cleaning I only get around to once in awhile. It will be done by the end of the day though. I am determined.
Work work work
We have been so busy at work lately, I don’t know if I am coming or going. I don’t remember us ever being this busy before. We have an amazing amount of new accounts to handle and may even have to hire some new people to help with it all. HR is thinking about some temps, but I think we may need some permanent people as well. I guess we shall see.
Hung over
Oh boy am I hung over. I went out last night with the guys for a bachelor party and it was wild. Of course, most bachelor parties are and we were no exception. I think we went to about seven different clubs and bars. We had a limo, so that no one had to be a designated driver and we didn’t have to worry about drinking and driving. Now I have to get myself in gear or I will be late for the wedding. Ugh!
Avengers
I just went to the movies to see Avengers. It was awesome! I have always loved Marvel Superheros since I was a kid. Over the last few years, Hollywood has put out Marvel hero movies in record number. Iron Man just plain rocked! Now with all of them together in the Avenger series, I know for a fact that a second one will be forthcoming. As soon as it comes out on DVD, I plan to buy it. I may even reserve it ahead of time on Amazon if I can. In, can’t wait for the next one mode. Woop!
Road trip
My buddy Kyle and I are taking a road trip to New Orleans. I know that it is way after Mardi Gras, but a little down time in the French Quarter will be good for us anyway. We also plan on a fishing trip in the Gulf while we are down there. That, in fact, is the main reason for the trip. Deep sea fishing for the win! I plan on bringing back a lot of fish for a big fish fry. Woot!
Mowing the lawn
The weather is very hot but I had to break down and mow the lawn. I have been avoiding it as long as possible but there was no excuse to delay it any longer. The grass was high and needed a trim. I knew what I had to do.
I was only a few minutes into it before I was sweating profusely. I waited until it was almost dark but it was still hot. I got the job done and was happy to get inside where the air conditioner was running. I am a little cooler now and am happy that the job is done.
Aggravation
There are some things that just make life miserable. One of those things is when I lose or misplace an item. I set my glasses down the other day and forgot where I had put them. I spent a couple of hours wondering where they were. I thought they were lost for good.
I finally found them just where I had put them last. I was glad to have them back but I hope I won’t have to go through that again.
Playing safely
The building my office is in is very large. We have a lot of people going in and out all the time. We sometimes have as many as two or three hundred people working there. With all these moms and dads coming and going, we sometimes have quite a few children there as well. It seems that every time summer comes around we have kids coming out of our ears. We decided that we needed to add some facilities to care for them while their parents are working.
We found a room where the kids could be supervised and entertained. We also decided to build something like those school playgrounds that you see all around. We had a nice little piece of ground that would be suitable for the task. It was a fun project to work on and I think the results were better than expected. We worked with a company called Rubberecycle that helped us with playground surfacing. They have many products to choose from and know their business well.
They have a special product made just for playground surfaces. It’s really just chopped up used tires but its makes for a nice safe base for the kids to play on. The parents like the fact that it’s safe and that it can made in many colors. Another aspect of the product is that it helps to recycle some of the millions of tires that are disposed of every year. The playground has been a hit with the kids as well as the parents and everyone seems to be happy. That’s the good thing about my job.
