Other than that, I quit my job. There were two really stupid guys working there that really ruined that contract. Now I'm on a new one with a hefty raise and a good promotion... but I'm way out of my comfort zone and I'm more than a little nervous. I think I can do the job, that's not the problem. It's just not what I really enjoy, and it's not where my real talent lies. I'll give it a whack and we'll see what happens. I know it's lame but the thing that keeps going though my head is that old lady in Madagascar 2. After the New Yorkers are ambushed by the penguins and she leads them into the jungle some guy asks "Hey old lady, do you know where you're going?" She says "No, but I have a smile on my face and a skip in my step!" Earlier the guy says to the group "I don't know about you guys, but I'm following the old lady!" So that's me... following the old lady. I swear that makes more sense in my head.
I did get to finally install the radio into my truck that Joy bought me... 3 years ago! Now, if you know me, and especially if you know my brother, you know that the spawn of Pat are not too good in the car audio department. My favorite example is when Jake swapped out a radio in a Dodge Aries and actually got the headlights to dim with the domelight dimmer. It wasn't on purpose and it was really kind of cool. This time I bought the install kit for my truck ($100!!) and i can't believe how smooth it went. I only cut myself twice and once was from stepping on a nail in the garage so that doesn't even count! The system sounds really good, I replaced the factory speakers while I was at it. It can hook up to my phone, iPod and laptop so it's pretty versatile. Now I can hook up the phone and play Scooby-Doo (for free) when I drive Hayden to school or gymnastics. I also get a bunch of Daily Show clips and I put every season of 'It's always Sunny in Philadelphia' on the phone too... good stuff! If you haven't watched It's always Sunny yet then you are really missing out!
We have so much stuff going on it's crazy. We got Hayden into a much better school this year, by San Antonio standards. So picture the worst school in your area, now set it on fire and replace all the books with pregnant teenagers and poo... that's the best school in SA. This school is high on the list but not the best... we're hoping to get him into a good private school. Yeah, I know... it means I have to wear my Jesus pants again. I've been practicing though... I talked to my gay friend yesterday and told him that he's the reason God doesn't talk to us anymore. I felt very holy. I think next I'm send a chain letter about how Obama is a muslim who wasn't really born in Hawaii... but that might be laying on a little too thick. Oh well, I'm hoping that the churchies are as adept at sarcasm as the rest of San Antonio is at driving. Then it'll be fun.
I didn't mean to offend anyone with what I wrote. If you could see the people I have to deal with to get Hayden into this school... you'd know what I mean. I just wish I could be myself and get my son into a good school. 'Our school is our ministry'... yeah right.
I really should have some pictures but... all I have are these.
Hayden took a picture of Seri on my desk, so I would know that it was her who messed it up and not him.
And, this is my Reddit shirt. I bought it after spending some time at my old job figuring out how much I get paid to poo a year. It used to be about $12.00 a poo for an anual total of $3125.00 a year in poo profits. Now at my new job it's $13.46 a poo for a total of $3500.00 in poo money! That's a $375.00 increase in annual poo profits. Now I ask you... can you afford not to take dumps at work?
