Far too much has happened lately for me to care about typing. So here are a few highlights ( Read more... )

I gots 2 tickets to Nine Inch Nails! Jacob is very pleased right now. I was going to get general admission so I could stand in the pit, however I decided to go the lazy route and get seats. Knowing me, I'll be shopping all day before the show. I wont want to stand for the entire show. Also the crowd that Nine Inch Nails and Queens of the Stone ( Read more... )

Hello moto. I've gots a cellphone. Fun, joy, play, and bills. Woot ( Read more... )

So I was weeding in the back plots at work. After a couple of hours I started to recognize the shapes and sizes of what the weeds look like. Then I found a root that didn't look like any I was pulling. "Weird" I said, proceeding to tug on the 'root'. The root was firmly in the ground, so I took a tight grip and yanked real hard. POW!!!

Rain can bite my ass. I've never been so miserable at work. Picture digging in the dirt/mud to get to sprinkler heads so you can test them. Test equals turning them on and getting soaked feet up.

To add to the pain, we were working on the new "heritage" garden at the Royal Jubilee Hospital, an area very visible by many many people. ( Read more... )

New job equals awesome. Today went by so quickly. My body is telling me we had a good time because it's all worn out and relaxed. Digging really loosens up the back. Also I became very intimate with some red cedar trees. "Trees are our friends man. They're like, all around us, and have been here for like, forever" - hahaha..... The boss man ( Read more... )

So a entry below mentioned how my car's radio antennae wont raise. So today after work I pulled apart the inside of the trunk to get to the antennae's motor thing. I was hoping to find a loose wire or at least an obviously broken bit. After a pathetic attempt, Dirk (my car) is now in a few pieces and I've accepted I didn't know what I was doing ( Read more... )
