Yeah I just had a brain fart and caused a big oops at work. I put in a request to shut down a rack of servers so we could move some power to another circuit. I got word back shortly before the requested time that it was approved. I forgot to tell my many managers what we were doing and by the time they figured out something was going wrong, I had the servers back up and running. So I got my ass chewed for actually doing my job. The captain was upset because I was going to get him fired. Yeah right. If anyone is getting fored over this it is me. Please let them fire me!! I'll go pick up trash or something for a few months before they put me back in charge. Give me a vacation! The captain wasn't happy when I informed him that I had found it easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission! But hey, I had a good time! :)) Ha Ha!!

Weekend
On Saturday I went to Sam's to get a new kitchen table. When I checked out I was told that my card was rejected. WTF?! So I had to go to the membership desk. It was rejected because the bill wasn't paid last month. Funny I don't remember charging anything on it. Turns out my wife chaarged some stuff on it but never paid it. Lovely. So I had to go to an ATM and come back with a payment so I could put more money on it. Just great. I finally got the table home and put it together. Without the leaf in it, it is rather small. With the leaf in it though, it seems rather large. Oh well I guess I'll just have to deal with it. Make a nice day.

In-Laws
Well my wife finally told her family that she left me. Her mother and both sisters all called me to find out if I was doing ok. A couple minutes after I got off the phone with her mom, my wife called me and asked me why I told her mom that she was seeing someone else. Funny, I don't recall telling her mom that. Then she tells me that her mom asked her if she had met someone else. So I guess she assumes that her mother and sisters don't know her. I was going to write that I wish I had known her like that so I wouldn't have had to go through this pain, but, I don't believe that. I would gladly go through the pain again because it was worth it. Even if all I have left is my daughter and a lot of pain, it was worth it. I just wish the tears wouldn't come so easy. Men aren't supposed to cry.

Friday
Well it's Friday. Whee!! I sat at home all alone last night. The nephew was working, and my wife had my daughter. It felt so lonely. I wish I was the type of person who could just go out and meet people, but I'm 35. Where do people my age go and hang out? I know where the younger generation hangs out, but they are too young for me to hang out with. I ended up turning the stereo on so I would have some noise, and surfed the internet. One of these days I will go out somewhere. Make a nice day.

My Safety Briefing
Well my safety briefing this morning got a lot of laughs and people clapped when I got done, so I guess I did a good enough job on it. I decided to post it here for everyone to read. It is rather long though, so get a cup of coffee or something to keep yourself awake.
HALLOWEEN SAFETY BRIEFING
Yesterday shortly before I was going to sneak out early, SMSgt McC came
strutting into my office to inform me that since my airman was sick and
couldn't be notified that he was giving the safety briefing today, that I
would have the honor of briefing everyone about safety. My first reaction
was "I don't think so!", but since I couldn't pawn it off on one of my other
folks if I wouldn't do it myself I kept my mouth shut. My second thought
was, "What the hell do I brief about?" I know, everyone's favorite topic,
SAFE SEX! Well maybe not everyone's but a large percentage of people talk
about it a lot. But then I figured I'd better not, because you should always
brief about something you know about. Besides, I'm not as fearless as TSgt
Fedorko is about making fun of people. So I kept pondering about what I
should brief about, lightning safety. No it's been done. Rip currents, no it
was done not too long ago also. Then I had a good idea, since it is October
I should brief about Halloween safety. So I figured I could find something
about it on the Internet pretty easy. The first site I went to was
www.halloweenmagazine.com/play.html
It had a list of basic rules for Halloween safety for your kids. And for TSgt F.
Always use common sense.
Young children should always go trick-or-treating with an adult.
Never trick-or-treat alone. Have at least 2 buddies go with you.
Plan your entire route and make sure your family knows what it is.
Make sure that you are wearing a flame retardant costume.
Wait until you get home and your parents check your candy before you eat it.
Be very cautious of strangers.
Accept treats only in the doorway. Never go inside a house.
Be sure and say thank you for your treats.
Don't play near lit jack-o-lanterns.
Visit only houses where the lights are on.
Walk, Do not run.
Walk on sidewalks and driveways.
Cross the street at the corner or in a crosswalk.
Take a cellular phone with you if possible.
Wear a watch.
Carry a flashlight.
This site even has a little safety quiz for your kids if you want to test
them. The second site I went to was www.lafd.org/hween.htm
This site had a lot of information as well,most of it is a duplicate of the first site, but expanded on some.
BEFORE HALLOWEEN:
* Plan costumes that are bright and reflective. Make sure that shoes fit
well and that costumes are short enough to prevent tripping, entanglement or
contact with flame.
* Consider adding reflective tape or striping to costumes and trick-or-treat
bags for greater visibility.
* Secure emergency identification (name, address, phone number) discreetly
within Halloween attire or on a bracelet.
* Because a mask can limit or block eyesight, consider non-toxic and
hypoallergenic makeup or a decorative hat as a safe alternative.
* When shopping for costumes, wigs and accessories, purchase only those with
a label indicating they are flame resistant.
* Think twice before using simulated knives, guns or swords. If such props
must be used, be certain they do not appear authentic and are soft and
flexible to prevent injury.
* Obtain flashlights with fresh batteries for all children and their escorts.
* Plan ahead to use only battery powered lanterns or chemical lightsticks in
place of candles in decorations and costumes.
* This is also a great time to buy fresh batteries for your home Smoke Alarms.
* Teach children their home phone number and to how call 9-1-1 if they have
an emergency or become lost. Remind them that 9-1-1 can be dialed free from
any phone.
* Review with your children the principle of "Stop-Drop-Roll", should their
clothes catch on fire.
* Openly discuss appropriate and inappropriate behavior at Halloween time.
* Consider purchasing individually packaged healthy food alternatives (or
safe non-food treats) for those who visit your home.
* Take extra effort to eliminate tripping hazards on your porch and walkway.
Check around your property for flower pots, low tree limbs, support wires or
garden hoses that may prove hazardous to young children rushing from house
to house.
* Learn or review CPR skills to aid someone who is choking or having a
heart attack.
* Consider safe party guidelines when hosting an Adult or Office Party.
FUN ALTERNATIVES:
* Find a special event or start one in your own neighborhood.
* Community Centers, Shopping Malls and Houses of Worship may have organized
festivities.
* Share the fun by arranging a visit to a Retirement Home or Senior
Center.
* Create an alliance with College Fraternities, Sororities or Service Clubs
for children's face painting or a carnival.
BEFORE NIGHTFALL ON HALLOWEEN:
* A good meal prior to parties and trick-or-treating will discourage
youngsters from filling up on Halloween treats.
* Consider fire safety when decorating. Do not overload electrical outlets
with holiday lighting or special effects, and do not block exit doors.
* While children can help with the fun of designing a Jack O' Lantern, leave
the carving to adults.
* Always keep Jack O' Lanterns and hot electric lamps far away from drapes,
decorations, flammable materials or areas where children and pets will be
standing or walking.
* Plan and review with your children the route and behavior which is
acceptable to you.
* Do not permit children to bicycle, roller-blade or skateboard.
* Agree on a specific time when revelers must return home.
* Along with flashlights for all, older children and escorts should wear a
wristwatch and carry coins for non-emergency phone calls.
* Confine, segregate or otherwise prepare household pets for an evening of
frightful sights and sounds. Be sure that all dogs and cats are wearing
collars and proper identification tags. Consult your veterinarian for
further advice.
* Remind all household drivers to remain cautious and drive slowly
throughout the community.
* Adult partygoers should establish and reward a designated driver.
WHEN TRICK-OR-TREATING:
* A Parent or responsible Adult should always accompany young children on
their neighborhood rounds.
* Remind Trick-or-Treaters:
o By using a flashlight, they can see and be seen by others.
o Stay in a group, walk slowly and communicate where you are going.
o Only trick-or-treat in known neighborhoods at homes that have a porch light on.
o Remain on well-lit streets and always use the sidewalk.
o If no sidewalk is available, walk at the farthest edge of the roadway facing traffic.
o Never cut across yards or use alleys.
o Never enter a stranger's home or car for a treat.
o Obey all traffic and pedestrian regulations.
o Always walk. Never run across a street.
o Only cross the street as a group in established crosswalks.
o Remove any mask or item that will limit eyesight before crossing a street, driveway or alley.
o Don't assume the right of way. Motorists may have trouble seeing Trick-or- Treaters. Just because one car stops, doesn't mean others will.
o Never consume unwrapped food items or open beverages that may beoffered.
o No treats are to be eaten until they are thoroughly checked by an Adult at home.
o Law Enforcement authorities should be notified immediately of any suspicious or unlawful activity.
AFTER TRICK-OR-TREATING:
* Wait until children are home to sort and check treats. Though tampering is
rare, a responsible Adult should closely examine all treats and throw away
any spoiled, unwrapped or suspicious items.
* Try to apportion treats for the days following Halloween.
* Although sharing is encouraged, make sure items that can cause choking (such as hard candies), are given only to those of an appropriate age.

This site had numerous links to other sites that had more information than I have time too
put you to sleep today. One thing to remember about Halloween safety is to use common sense.
I finished it a little better, but I don't remember exactly what I said. But I got through it!

Honey
Well yesterday I had three women call me honey. I think that it was just a natural reply for them though. The first one was on the phone when I called up Sam's Club to inquire about whether they had a table in stock. The lady on the other end told me to have a nice day honey. The second one was Jessica in a comment. (Thank You Jess!) :) And the last one was my wife last night. I was helping her move some more stuff over to her apartment and it was starting to rain so she said "hurry up honey." I guess all it really takes to make me feel better is a single word from three women. I have to go give this safety briefing so I will post more later. Make a nice day!

Safety
Sometimes SNCO's just piss me the fuck off!! The superintendent came in a few minutes ago and informed me that I would be giving a safety briefing at tomorrows commanders call. Gee Thanks! So now I am researching what I can on the subject I decided on. Halloween Safety! Alright I gotta get to work, public speaking isn't my thing, so I may need some liquid courage tomorrow morning!!
days
Ever have one of those days where you just want to talk to somebody? Not just someone that you work with or see in the hall, but someone who you can actually confide in? I've been sitting here and I can't think of anyone I could actually confide in. Besides the chaplains, they don't count. How sad is that?
Sleep
I noticed the other day that even though I now have the bed all to myself, I still sleep on "my" side. Why is that? How come I can't seem to spread out and get comfortable anywhere else on the bed? Any psychologists out there feel like explaining it to me?
Well I made an 82 on my Algebra quiz last night. I did most everything on it, but there were a couple that I didn't feel like wasting the time on so I just scribbled something down and turned it in. He graded while I waited then figured out my final grade. It is an 88. Then he wrote an A for my grade. Cool. So now I still have a 4.0 in college. WHoo Hoo!
Othere than that I don't have much to write about now. My daughter stayed with me last night, so her mom came over this morning to take her to school. She just walked in. Didn't bother to knock. If I went over to her place and just walked in, she would have a cow. I guess I need to mention to her that she doesn't live here anymore, so she should have the common courtesy to at least knock on the door. I better get to work. Or at least pretend I am doing something worthwhile. Make a nice day.

In limbo
I guess I am just in limbo now. Thats what it feels like anyway. Last night before I fell asleep I thought of what I wanted to write about today, but this morning I can't remember what it was. Must not have been a good topic. Yesterday wasn't alot of fun. I came home from work, and did some cleaning, rearranged a few things, and surfed the internet. I had a frozen chicken pattie and some tater tots for dinner. Yum. Cooking for one feels so pathetic. Maybe this week I will make some meatloaf or something. Maybe some taco meat. I could have tacos one night and burritos the next. Maybe spread it out for a few days. I guess I need to get a crockpot also. That way I can set something up to cook all day when I am at work, and have a hot meal when I get home. Better than a sandwich I think. Tonight I have my Algebra class. It is the last quiz, and even if I fail it miserably I can pass the class without taking the final. So there is no motivation at all to do the homework or even study. I can't even remember what the sections are that will be on the quiz. How sad is that. My wife called about 8 pm last night to inform me that she would be taking the dining room table on Wednesday. Whatever. I told her that I would help her if she wanted me too, all she had to do was ask.
I'm thinking of copying Tacogirl and doing 100 random things about me. I just don't know if I can come up with that many. Like I said, I'm thinking about it. I guess I better get to work. Take care. Make a nice day.

It's real I think
Well last night was my first night alone. Friday and Saturday night I had my daughter. The nephew went to Jacksonville for the weekend, and as far as I know hasn't made it back yet. So I was truly alone last night. I went to Wally World after my wife took my daughter with her last night and got a bunch of the cheap furniture to replace what she took with her. Then I spent the rest of the night putting it all together. Dinner was two slices of pizza heated up in the microwave. (I get the microwave!) Side note: I actaully had a very pretty woman come up to me in Wal-Mart and talk to me. Granted it was just about a light bulb, but I think it might have been more if I hadn't been wearing my ring. I can't seem to take it off yet. Anyway, I weighed myself this morning. Seems like I lost 5 pounds somewhere in the past couple days. I need to anyway. Probably another 10 and I'll be rid of the belly blubber enough to actually show a six pack again. So my wifes mom called on Saturday night. My wife hasn't told her that she left me yet. So mom talks to me for probably half an hour then finally asks if her daughter is available. I informed her that she wasn't home. Mom asked if we had an argument, I just told her that she should talk to her daughter. She knows something isn't right, but not what exactly. I guess last night it set in that this is for real. I just don't know what to do with myself now. Make a nice day.
