... well. f*** Monday. let do this.

didnt get home on sunday until like 3/4 am lol

woke up at 9. went to bed relatively early last night but woke up at like 3 am and didnt fall back asleep until 4 am.

hopefully it doesnt hit me until night time.

i did triple my money in poker though.

>i did triple my money in poker though.

Coming from bass & keys, I never had to deal with that BS before. Just grab a 5-string or move your hands left.

One a guitar tho, it's just more fiddling with shit. I refuse to change out of standard tuning. Straight covering songs in the wrong key or octave because I ain't doing all that.

Work is work. Thinking about going into management. Would mean no more programming, but I've lost interest in coding anyway.

I'm not huge on tuning changes either but once in a while for playing the really heavy stuff to get those low Keys... and then you can also get some amazing arpeggio and fingerpicking results.. but I hear you fiddling with all that is a pain... solved by multiple guitars in various tunings.

kids were so depressed lol

my weekend isn’t memorable

have not been loving the monday... and the sickeningly cyclical hell that is a day job.

I don’t warm up until Wednesday.

I don’t warm up until Wednesday.

But on the other hand, got some good shit done for a good friend. Built her a deck and ramp to get in and out of her house. Had a good workout this morning and then that happened, so was feeling very accomplished today..... Until I got around to checking my email just a few minutes ago and saw that I got two rejection emails within a half hour of each other. Yay.

you seem to like it and you’re good at it, right?

or carpentry inclined to really make that a career. I can follow directions very well. Couldn't lead a job other than painting, honestly.

trust the reroute

I’m good but not really
I’ve lost an incredible amount of money
dude. I even slept with the ex
Yes...him

I’m just now starting to feel better

Oh. check out the new Rapsody...

And yeah, I read that and responded to you in that other post where you first mentioned "him". We won't get into that now, it's in the past. Right?

And the new Rapsody album is definitely one I've been working on getting to. I listen to so little new music right now, especially hip hop, because I'm not in the car for long periods of time and when I am, kids are there too. But I will for sure get on it.

I had a slew of them from May to last week or so and I'm more experienced now than I've ever been in my field

And that may be turning potential employers off. I dunno. Definitely doesn't feel like growth.

"ain't s***" ~ T

in't that what you say?

that has me feeling okay on a tuesday. payday on friday too??? i kind of want to plan a last minute getaway. i might just go for it.

i returned my temporary phone yesterday. i expected to have to pay the $35 restocking fee. nope, got a full refund.

i just might need to buy a lottery ticket.

we'll have to boot you out of the gripe club... lol.

had a quick look at some flights this weekend. dont think that would be smart lol might need to switch to a road trip instead. would want to limit it to under 6hrs which in the southwest doesnt give me many options lol.

Hung out with my dad all day on Friday. Cleaned the kitchen up for him..talked about my mom, Jay Z, Cam Newton, Michael Irvin vs. Jerry Rice..it was dope.

Saturday-checked out a dude thats in our little facebook music sharing group at his gig. Really dope spot. Went to my gig and man...the love I felt in there was off the charts. Was supposed to play from 2-630...ended up playing until almost 8. Went to this spot called Soul afterwards with the owner and had a "quasi-date" with someone I've called "NL (next lifetime)" and "Kryptonite". It was soooooooo cool being with somebody that shares your same energy, and we've known each other for years, so it's not like it was on some "yeah yall just met though". Man that was nice.

Went to visit my moms grave for the first time on Sunday. That was surreal.

Monday..ehh..back to the grind. Finally finished "Mad Dogs" on Amazon. Started working on a new cassette with some of the new records I got over the weekend.

It's tuesday...so far so good..

The Greatest Story (N)ever Told (finished)
http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?az=show_topic&forum=18&topic_id

yo... enjoyed that show quite a bit

https://youtu.be/Y0Umr3pd4Jo

Never used it, but it has the logo on it and looks nice so I kept it on my desk. New chick comes in (months ago now), asks to use it. Mentioned several times in passing about getting it back to me, but I haven't seen that jawn since. She's on the other side of the cube wall from me, so it's not that I never see her.

Now I stay looking at her funny... that was our first real interaction since she started here. I wonder if she still is using it.

Who ask to use someone else’s mug? That’s kinda nasty.

I was at the casino one time and some random dude asked me for a pull of my Black and Mild (this was years ago).

I just gave it to him.

the principal of it i understand though. if she asked to borrow it then she should return it.

Cool otherwise, but I can't front I always got that mug in the back of my mind when I'm talking to her.

she never asked... not saying that keeping it is cool by any means... but I was anticipating a one moment it was on my desk next it was gone until I seen later that day with their slobbering lips all over it.

she borrowed and flaked on returning.. maybe on some not so lowkey need for company swag.

I drink a lot of water, and what inevitable happens is I run out of bottled and start drinking tap. For a variety of reasons I'd like to avoid tap water *sad face*. Been pricing it a bit, and 15 gallons a month + a water dispenser rental is about $30 a month. Honestly not too bad.

Haven't decided yet, but I kinda want to. It almost feels a bit dramatic, but I drink a lot of water, and it'll be one less thing to worry about. Plus they have bottom loading units, and if I had to try and change a top loading unit it'll never happen (lifting 5 gallons of water? fuck nooooo).

$30 for the convenience ain't bad.

i remember i wanted to do the same before. i was limiting myself to spring water and there didnt seem to be options here for that so i dropped it.

i would definitely would go with a bottom loading one. my brother was talking about this on saturday. one of his friends works in delivery for water so he was getting the hook up on it.

a gallon of water is around $1 right? so double the cost for convenience? do they have a choice for buying a machine and only delivering the water? dont know what the ROI would be for that.

i definitely need to reduce/eliminate how many small water bottles i use.

I've seen one service that rents it for free and other services that rent it from 2.99-12.99 a month. Ideally, (and I even hate saying this cause I'll die if it doesn't come true) ideally I would be moving out of this state within 2 years, so paying $160 out right for something that I know I'm going to throw out in two years isn't worth it for me when I can pay $70 dollars or so to rent that same item.

im holding off on buying furniture right now because i dont wanna pay to have it delivered here when im hopefully moving to a new place in a couple of months lol

It was tiresome to constantly keep filling it up. Plus, I think it would be best to not drink this water at all, on more than one occasions our area has gotten warnings about drinking it.

...worth it.

If you own your home or don't plan on moving anytime soon then a unit would be a good investment. I plan on picking one up when I have the extra funds. Tap water has its' issues, but so does water stored in plastic containers.

2.5h left... it's not been the best day... flaked out and misread/misunderstood an ema8il and went off starting a bunch of work I wasn't supposed to yet... came off looking like a fool for it. feel worse about it than I should or it really is but still... i don't need to be doing crap like that.

woe be to those who try that ish.

but minimal damage....wooo

i wonder if it is what a commenter said. they noticed the bar after the tracks and stopped for it. im guessing its more when they hit the first bar he hit the brakes out of shock and just got super lucky.

could they be hiring?

...the logical thing to do is not work so that no one gets injured while doing drugs. No more lawsuits.

considering how I feel about Tuesdays

I put both my uber drivers on to EVE...Rapsody
I really like it
I like her

my bestie is turning 50. I can’t believe we’ve entered this stage lol
she put me in charge of the party
I’m about to go off on and there’s no budget
I’ve known her since the age of 9, her 12
she’s my hero
I intend to make it magically for her, Lord will
she know it

when I like something
I’ll forever have your back...

Where you at PG? You good?

just spending too long working and then looking for the gif

I don't know.. I thought I was ok.... but naw there's a weight going on...

...Roy Ayers and Herbie Hancock are. Was talking about Made in America, I commented how there won't be any guitar or sax solos so it isn't for me, mentioned I grew up on jazz/funk and he gave me a blank look so I name dropped those dudes. He doesn't know who they are, or even any of their famous songs. He promised me he'd check them out, even asking me how to spell "Ayers"

We gotta do a better job with these youths. They ain't being fed right, artistically.

I can't. that's just.... what was he on that glenn miller or something lol?!?

I mentioned that the roots of old-school hip hop are all over jazz, soul & funk. Gonna nag him next time I'm there to make sure he listens.

although i guess its still a good problem? my raise was not what i was expecting. boss tried to say it was because they had to pay the operators more to bring them up to market. how is that my fault? considering the mistakes ive made in the past years i guess i should be happy with any raise.

i would have been happy to have not met with him and just gotten the raise to be honest. they had already announced we were getting one. i guess i would have questioned the amount if he didnt meet with me. the meeting made me sour on it but i guess its a good thing.

like he said, the raise pays for my gas lol

we the workers must be grateful to feed on the crumbs under the tables of our magnanimous corporate leaders... * sigh *

an I'm Audi!

"Can't wait!" - Bart Scott

Then, it's four days off before I go dive head first into a new gig with a whole different set of responsibilities and personalities to juggle.

Debating hitting that Jill Scott show at the MGM this weekend.
Need to start cleaning the basement and packing stuff up for the move we're about to make.
And I'm throwing some food on the pit this weekend. Rain or shine, I'm doing it.

and the exit.

lol

I locked down the DJ for the party today

on the road doing multiple onsites today... i.e. will catch up with you guys l8r... have at it!

...to get myself some better working conditions, everything got much easier. I'll literally leave the office to go find quiet, and sometimes that means working at the public library. No one has said ANYTHING to me. I get my work done.

I'm feeling this freedom at work, even though it comes with mad responsibility.

and most conducive to the success they endeavor to accomplish.

i could see me only needing to be at the facility 1 day a week. 2 hrs max would probably do it. rest of my work i could do remotely. im pretty sure at least 2 days of the week the only one to notice would be the person i share my office with lol. the other two days my boss might call me so if i didnt pick up in my office he would notice lol.

here in Bawdamore.

Ready to go sit outside and enjoy some fresh air.

Y'ALL BE GREAT!

she was so focused. most of the time people only check a couple of things. ah to be young and motivated lol

got the final cowboys preseason game tonight. i havent really been able to watch any of the first three but should be able to watch tonights. its also the one that you would want to skip lol

i need to remember to call verizon. my data has been garbage for almost two weeks. gonna give them some trouble for keeping me waiting on this new phone as well.

Ordering some wings and drinking some good beer.

I used to get free tickets to this game but that was at the old gig. I’m watching at home on the big screen.

Also Clemson vs GTech on ACCNetworl.

I signed up for 7 free days of Hulu live just so I could watch this game. Lmao. I’m canceling that shit after the trial is over.

I need to get a real ass Antenna so I can get all these free local channels. I can’t get CBS when I scan my TV and I’m going to need that for football season.

Work is work. I have to motivate myself but I’m not feeling it today. Thankfully it’s been pretty chill.

definitely get an antenna. last week it didnt help me. the signal was all broken up. found out cbs was showing it too and their feed was fine. usually its cool.

i was going to reply in the confession post but got interrupted. i wanna talk nfl but it seems this isnt the board for it anymore right? lol

PG. forgiven me for bringing it up, considering...
I hesitated

but yeah...
grandparents day is coming up and every year I remind my grandkids
I’m not this year, checking to see if they remember

It’s how I weigh myself :-)

I'm out of them now... *blink* *blink* ... something in my eye.. fawk off! lol.. love you trin.... and I love you grandma *sigh*
