Well I spent the afternoon, unlike I said earlier, depleting the world supply of Guinness with T1G. Apparently two guys off of work makes the perfect excuse to get together at the local Hooters restaurant to flirt with waitresses, eat hot wings (Which is the real reason we went there, contrary to popular belief) and drink lots and lots of Guinness. Why Guinness? Why not!?!?!?

As for Christmas shopping I meant to get done, eh that will be another day. Taco Johns will have to wait as well. It was a pleasant afternoon. Spent eating good food (HooterÂ’s wings with 911 sauce are the bomb, yo!), in good company and drinking good beer. Like I had anything better to do with my unplanned day off!

Well it appears my e-mail isn't working properly. I'm receiving e-mails minutes to hours after they've been sent. IE I had one person send me an e-mail. Then sent a follow up to that same e-mail. I received the follow up before I received the orriginal e-mail it figures.

I wonder if this has anything to do with all the porn I'm down loading.

Ah my good and faithful readers, I am currently live blogging from my very own computer at home. I’m sure you are all asking yourselves, “Wait, how can that be Contagion? You work, you have minions to torture and inventory to move.” Well today I don’t. I have some “Time Off” for the day. Apparently my peers and management don’t like being called “Farking Idiots” in the middle of a staff meeting. I just don’t understand why not, they are. It’s not like I was caught lying to them by saying, “You are the most competent and able management staff I’ve ever had the privilege of working with or for.”

So IÂ’m going to spend some time today doing stuff likeÂ…. Trimming my toe nails, catching up on blogging, trimming my finger nails, read some blogs IÂ’ve never been to before, trimming my facial hair, doing some Christmas shopping, trimming some pubic hair and I think IÂ’m going to travel across town to get some Taco Johns for lunch. Why? Because I can, what else am I going to do with the day? The shooting range isnÂ’t open on Friday, plus I really donÂ’t want to travel an hour and a half just to spend an hour shooting to drive back. I did some math, with the cost of bullets, fees and gas it usually costs me around $100.00 for an hours worth of fun. I can invest that $100.00 into alcohol and spread it out for 4 hours. MMMmm, AlcoholÂ… I can do that!

OH! Maybe IÂ’ll go see a movieÂ… no, canÂ’t do that. I refuse to be the dork that goes to movies by themselves. And before any of my readers who do that get on me, yes you are a dork for going to the movies by yourself. Find a friend for peteÂ’s sake, IÂ’m free today!

Heck IÂ’m free possibly even into next week, rest of the month, could be through the beginning of next year. I think it depends on how pissed off they really were. Oh, I guess I should at least pretend to be remorseful. Wait, I just canÂ’t. Even after getting a good 10 hours of sleep and not being pissed today, I still have no regrets. To be honest, when I return to work I think I might do it again, just in case they missed my point. These people need to realize they are farking idiots!

Well IÂ’m off to visit the blogosphere. My IM is in the on position so if you e-mail me IÂ’ll probably respond right away. If you donÂ’t then you will never know the joy of having e-mail chat with someone the likes of me!

1 Yeah, management is kind of funny about being called out on their ineptness. I'd snapped a couple of times and realized that the only one getting screwed was me. So I took another approach.

I started going to my "bosses" with problems only they, with their infinite wisdom, could take care of. As the old saying goes, giving them just enough rope to hang themselves.

We'll see how well it's worked in exactly two weeks.

2 Hmm, if I worked with you I'd probably be home today too, cause I would have laughed out loud at the sight of you calling them on their ineptness!

3 I can't believe that you actually snapped on them... You?

Who am I kidding? Enjoy the day!

6 good for you. i too disliked having to pretend that those who have employed me in the past were not idiots. you need to let them know where they stand once in a while. at least you didn't assault any of them, i salute your self control. i'll have a sip of scotch in your honor. enjoy the day off.

7 I agree with oddybobo, I'd take off too if I worked in your office; just hearing your lilting voice (heh) echoing through the building -- "...f*cking idiots..." -- would've put me in traction! Enjoy the mental health day.

Well people, it looks like there is a major life altering change coming my way, and not in the good way. How major? LetÂ’s just say the only thing I can think of that is more major would be imminent death. Others may argue there are things much worse then this, but they arenÂ’t me.

I wonÂ’t know for sure until all the parties involved have a chance to cool off, mainly me. On a scale from one to ten on the anger scale, I surpassed a star going supernova. Things were said, actions done. Some may be repairable, most likely not. Whether or not the other parties involved care even to attempt to make amends, if I decided thatÂ’s what I want to do, is unknown.

Right now, I think the other parties see greener pastures and would rather be there. IÂ’m still fuming as I type this. In fact, this is my fourth draft as I scrapped the others due to my anger getting control of what I was typing. IÂ’ve hit the calm stage, where IÂ’m smiling and quiet. Nothing more then short one-syllable words are coming out of my mouth, and only when IÂ’m directly asked a question that demands a verbal answer.

Maybe things can be worked out, maybe they canÂ’t. Then again, maybe IÂ’ll be given a million dollars tomorrow. Either way something is going to happen, and soon. IÂ’ve decided IÂ’m skipping November and December next year, this year itÂ’s bringing me way too much grief.

I found the secret to exercise success folks! I used to work out 30 minutes a night on my exercise bike and it was shear hell. It felt as if I would die of boredom. I bought the bike because I thought that if I were able to watch TV, the time would just fly by. That theory was pure and utter BS. The first ten minutes wasnÂ’t bad, the last 20 minutes was horrible. I couldnÂ’t wait for the timer on the bike to go off and tell me I could stop. I never went over 30 minutes.

In September, some of you may recall I bought an Xbox. At the same time, I changed my exercise routine. Figuring 30 minutes just wasnÂ’t enough I decided to up it to an hour a night. The catch this time was that I was going to play Madden while exercising.

This was the greatest exercise idea of all time!

That hour just flies by. IÂ’ve even continued to peddle after the timer goes off because IÂ’m in the middle of the game and donÂ’t want to pause it. Sure controlling the guys is a little more difficult. After some practice, you are able to compensate for it. The other issue that concerned me was if I stopped peddling. This actually isnÂ’t that big of an issue. I found that I peddle faster when I have a guy running with the ball. Also I noticed that if the game is not going my way I peddle harder to get my frustrations out. When IÂ’m having a good game, the extra endorphins just make it that much more enjoyable.

IÂ’ve been doing this for about two and a half months now. On the couple of occasions that I watch TV instead of played Madden, that was one of the longest hours of my life. Everyday I play my exercise around when I can get an hour to play Madden. I even look forward to getting on the bike because I like the feeling I have when I get off the bike after a good win. Endorphins and adrenalin are a wonderful combination.

From various comments and e-mails, IÂ’ve received from people. There is some confusion as to my post regarding the pending blogmeet. Just for clarification, I would like to post some simple facts:

A)I am not the one putting on, hosting nor organizing this event. That would be the social butterflies that are T1G and Tammi. Remember people, I am shy. There is no way in hell I would host or organize anything like this. Any questions or concerns should be directed toward them, not I. As my typical answer will be, “I don’t know, talk to T1G or Tammi.”

2) My summons was just a list of bloggers that I have been reading for a while and would like to meet, that I have not met before. It was not an exclusive list of who is invited or not invited. My understanding from reading T1GÂ’s original post, it is open to whoever wants to come. If I have met you in the past, I purposely did not single you out for summoning! I figure having dealt with me once in person is enough punishment for a lifetime.

D) Various people where left off my list, mainly because I have not met many of the bloggers out there, and I could have had a list that looked like, well my sidebar. I chose based on bloggers I have read for a while and have been commenting on their blogs as well as been receiving comments from them for a while now.

5) If IÂ’ve been reading your blog and commenting a lot of late and you werenÂ’t listed, IÂ’m sorryÂ… well not really. There was probably some underlying reason such as, I donÂ’t have a good rapport with you yet, you seem anti-social, you come across as stuck-up or I just plain forgot. You choose which excuse you would like. I gaurentee if you ask me, itÂ’ll be one of those.

As for those of you that where summoned, I expect you to show up and be happy. It is not optional!

1 Yes.

2 If I’ve been reading your blog and commenting ... and you weren’t listed ... [it's because] you seem anti-social.

That's because I am.

Posted by: Jenna at December 02, 2005 10:35 AM (f/kUC)

3 And I seem social? Damn, I'm going to have to work on that...
