As the day goes...

well, I'm at school and it's a pretty slack day so I thought I would keep this page open all day and do an on-going "as it occurs to me blog. Here goes...

okay, it's 9:30 and I'm having trouble getting started. not because it's difficult stuff but because I didn't get a very good sleep last night and I feel mildly retarded today. Trying to finish the last of the online courses that school paid for. The last portion is accounting principles and closing entries. I hope to finish today. If I can get my brain started that is.

10:00 .  still havent got much done. man, I feel dumb today. very slow. Time for a smoke.
COFFEE!  that might help. I knew there was something missing from my diet today. mmmm coffee.

Lost another guy from the house last night. He voluntarily moved after being gone overnight without a phonecall or anything. He didn't want to have to do the penalty time (restrictions,etc) so he and the owner came to a mutual decision it was probably best that he leave. I'll miss him. NOT.

Getting excited for the end of March to come. A good friend that I haven't seen in almost 4 years is coming out for a job interview and we will be getting together for coffee! I am STOKED for that. Hopefully we will be getting together with a couple other friends from my past .Good times,good times.

Finally got some work done here. It's now nearing 11:30. Time to head off to the nooner AA meeting and when I get back it's test time. Last one. Hope to get my standard 100%...lol

Okay, 1:00 ...time for the test.
random thought. 24 is good, as usual, but the last twoepisodes haven't had the normal "train wreck coming" type of ending. They've been good episodes but rather tame endings by 24 standards.

---joke break--- here's a few funnies emailed to me that I read while taking a break from the test....

A WOMAN'S PERFECT BREAKFAST

1) She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee.
2) Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box.
3) Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week.
4) Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl.
5)And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.

WOMEN'S REVENGE

'Cash, check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse. 'So, do you always carry your TV remote?' I asked.
'No,' she replied, 'but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.'


UNDERSTANDING WOMEN

(A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)
I know I'm not going to understand women. I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root,  and still be afraid of a spider.

CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS

A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up & down the aisles. The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him. He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife. She directs him down the correct aisle. A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter.
She says, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?" He answers, "You see, it's like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers; cause it's sooooooooooo much cheaper.
So, I figure if I have to roll my own ... so does she!"
(I figure this guy is the one on the milk carton!)

WIFE VS. HUSBAND

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position.. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, 'Relatives of yours?'
'Yep,' the wife replied, 'in-laws.'

CREATION

A man said to his wife one day, 'I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.'
The wife responded, 'Allow me to explain. . .
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!

The Silent Treatment

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him up at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, 'Please wake me at 5:00 AM.' He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man awoke, only to find it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't woke him when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed..
The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
(Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests)

God may have created man before woman, but there's always a rough draft before the masterpiece!!

Okay, back to the test...Test done.....96%  Here are all my final numbers/test scores...
