Non sum qualis eram

First week down, I’m happy with the results.  We’ll see how I do with a full work week next week.

So anyways… I crashed for like 12 hours night.  I think I needed it.  I woke up today feeling sore but awake.  Let’s face it, my schedule is kinda brutal.  As long as people keep worrying about the environment and keep buying ethanol, it ain’t gonna get any less brutal.  I’m not knocking the environment.  I’ve got kids and I’d just as soon leave them a planet worth living on.  It’s just that doing my part to build all of the equipment used to grow all that extra corn is slowly killing me. 

So anyways… …  I woke up today and found myself wide awake. I balanced the checkbook, grabbed a couple hundred bucks and hit the casino.   I was up 400 bucks for a while…  End result $200 became $600 bucks and then became $32 bucks.  It was kind of surreal.  I struck up conversations with people at the first few slots I played.  Then for like the next six hours I kept bumping into one of them.  “Still up?”  “Lost that money yet?”  That kind of thing.  Friends for a day I guess.

I lost 6 hours and almost 200 bucks.  Good thing I’m single, huh?  Otherwise I’d have some ’splaining to do…

It’s been that kinda week.  I got a mis-dialed txt message the other night.  I txted back about it being the wrong number.  I ended up spending an hour and a half txting a woman who lives in my hometown.  She does the same kind of work I do at a place I used to work at.  She’s also almost my age.

You know, I have made a conscious decision that I’m taking a break from the whole wimmenz thing.  I really need to take some me time before I risk getting into another relationship.  Then she txts, “R U married  Im not”.  I beat a hasty but friendly retreat.  I had a friend tell me a while back that I’d never meet someone if I stayed at home.  Boy was she wrong!

These are strange days
