MINUTES LEFT...


YUP LUNCH IS ALMOST OVER... After going to town for parts this morning, I got to meet up with the girls for some bagels... Funny how everyone wanted someone elses bagel... We were all eyeing the bagel dog! Yes and screaming ensued as soon as one of us took the first bite of the seemingly unwanted bagel... Funny to be on the other side of things...

Normally if I heard a child in a restaurant complaining and throwing a fit I would offer up some duct tape and bailing wire... I've never held back from it, always have I obnoxiously voiced my opinion... So it was very amusing to be at the table with the cranky child... Fun accually... Reverse attitude I had, when we were glared at I, pulled back my hat and gave my best "fuck you asshole" look right back... hah... I'm still laughing inside right now!

Anyway, I leave town, fire down the coast and head directly to post ranch... One of our cement silos has thrown a feeder chain, back to the shop, ask a couple of questions and jam back up to the silo site with tools... Fixed in minutes flat... pat self on back and pass by the store where they sell cigarettes for the fourth time. What strength!!! As soon as I get into the office the radio lights up... Looking for me.

KW4 has blown an inner cooler bellow band...(like that? Sounds like I know what the fuck I'm talking about!) drive past the store up the hill and fix the problem... The bellow is getting a lot of movement and I think the cooler might be getting plugged... Lame, very expensive part!!! Drive back to the shop and pow!!! Right into the store and purchase a pack of smokes... Loser... I've been doing okay on the smoking... Some days are really easy, two/two and a half smokes a day... Saturday? Pack of smokes.. Loser... I was having an angsty day, drunk by noon and general pretty pissed off at the world... So I smoked, didn't feel too bad about it either...

Well I've got to go... Back to work... Perhaps ill post some more this evening!! Good day to you all!

Yeah, it's funny how attitudes can change about kids (well, depending on the kid, maybe...) What I hate seeing is parents who appear to be controlled by their kids, that's prob. my most major peeve re:kids/rents.

Excellent work rant!

Smoking - I read some good advice about making/keeping resolutions - the idea is to say "By Jan. 2008 I plan to have accomplished goal X", which is not the same as letting yourself off the hook, but helps prevent bashing yourself unneccesarily and allows for a more realistic approach.

I'm so so so so so proud of you. I hope your feeling better.... I hate being sick. Humph. And then dealing with withdrawls on top of it. I'm rooting for you. I love you.

And right now I am 100%in love with the little big cheeked girl! I want to steal her for my very own. Makes me all broody and baby hungry. I love that I got to hold her and feed her chocolate ice cream. And I love that she throws fits at the bagel bakery. Sometimes I do too.

Dinner when your better.
