Back to work!

After a week of time off, it was kinda refreshing to get back to work. I just started this job a couple months ago and I actually do like it. I guess I'm made to work for a living. Maybe it's that I don't have anyone to come home to anymore............ I used to be a clock watcher. But now I leave work whenever I want to.


You know what? I can't seem to get the hang of this! I'm afraid to put my thoughts out there! What if someone I know reads it! I keep writing garbage just to write something.

The new room.

Spent the last two days painting my new room. It's not actually a new room......... just remodeled. What a pain! Try painting a 16' wall and ceiling! Up and down that dang latter at least 100 times! Two coats of paint, do the edging twice so far. Now to let it dry and then make a nice straight line between the ceiling and walls so it looks a bit better. It would have been a whole lot easier if I'd have just painted the ceiling and walls the same color! But I don't think it would have looked as good as it does with a off-white ceiling and gray orchid walls.

And since I don't have money for more, for the time being this is all the room will get! Have to wait until I can afford to do the floor and doors and trim. But no big deal. I'm all alone in this big house. No one ever comes over anyway.

Which makes me wonder why am I doing all this work to this big house? If I was smart I'd get rid of this place and get myself something smaller. How many of you out there in virtual land would keep a 5 bedroom house with almost 3000 square feet if it was just you and 2 cats?

The start

I'm sitting here watching 'You've got mail'. Remember that one? Meg Ryan, the girl next door type. The kind of girl you wished you could meet in real life. Then you would marry her and live happily ever after. And then Tom Hanks..... the perfect leading man who you also wish you were like. Then you definitely would get the girl and live happily ever after. Ah, the movies! Almost like the internet. You can be anyone in here, can't you? I think they did a country song about that didn't they?

So who am I? Just a guy trying to make it in life. Someone who likes to dream about the 'what if' life he could have had. I probably think too much about stuff that bugs me. Like my kids! I love them, but don't know how to act around them! So maybe I'll share some thoughts about them. Perhaps I'll even get some good advice.

And I'll tell you all about my job! It's kinds like that comic strip Dilbert. Really! It is! I'm probably one of the only people who actually like his job.......... kinda.

So, lets see what happens from here. If nothing else I will be pulling my thoughts out of my head and onto this screen.
