Haven't updated in a long time now, sorry to both of my readers. I've been lazy. What's been happening to me since the last update? Well let's see.
I've got a girlfriend, my work has moved from one of the worst part of town to downtown (whoot!) and my back yard has decided to leave me.
Nikki and I are having fun when we can get together, but long distance relationships suck. We basically only get to hang out together on the weekends.
My work moving was a blessing and a curse. The old building sucked much ass and the new one is sweet but honestly we got moved around a month too early. There is still work going on outside the building. Some of the windows weren't even installed when we started putting people in here. We've been here a month now and things are starting to get back to normal. Now I gotta pretend to know how to do my work again.
The back yard is just strange. Around a 10'x15' section of ground is now a foot lower than the rest of the yard. While getting ready to cut my grass for the first time, I stepped in what can only be called a sink hole. The ground was hollow in a roughly 3'x4'x3'deep hole. I dug it out, and filled it with a huge amount of topsoil I bought from Lowe's, but on reflection this was stupid. The problem isn't going to go away from just filling in the dirt. I need to find the real problem and fix it, so I've called the county building inspector to send someone around to give me an idea where to start to fix this problem. I'll update after I've had a talk with the inspector.
Is it just me or does everyone feel people are trying to kill you everyday? No I don't mean some clandestine organization or government is trying to kill me and I'm not in a war zone (at least if it is nobody told me). I mean my fellow travelers on the road and highways are trying to KILL me! EVERYDAY!
I've seen someone stop at a green light as I was coming to the light behind them forcing me to slam on breaks to prevent me rear-ending them, I've had two vehicles run a red light many seconds after my light was green as I started to get on the road in front of my place of work, I've had to dodge trash cans and broken drywall laying in the middle of the highway, I've had to figure out ways to dodge cars that stick 5 feet into traffic as they decide whether or not to enter traffic, I've seen one guy just walk across the highway like there was no traffic at all (OK this guy was just trying to kill himself, but he might have been trying to take me with him) and that has just been this week; AND IT WAS ONLY WEDNESDAY!
Is everyone else's commute to work and or lunch this, um..eventful or is it just me?
