Confessions Of A ...............

I've been doing a lot of stupid things lately. Not sure why?
Spending money frivolously at the pub night after night
I'm guessing it's out of boredom and lack of entertainment. I must admit though the pub is entertainment.
Maybe it's the company I keep?
Maybe it's the beers?
Gonna work on that, and get back on track.
It starts today!

Earth Rocker

Another uneventful weekend so far. I quit the job I started 2 weeks ago. Good bunch of guys work there, however it wasn't for me. Going back to the Xray business Monday. Wish me luck :)

Getting sick of the barstool prophets, but out of boredom I go anyway. I think the bartender added some drinks to my tab last night. Guess I will keep count when he is working.

Had a good chat with Mr Pancake  the other day. Was good to catch up!

Life is pretty funny sometimes. I guess when your'e in your late thirties your'e supposed to have your shit together as far as a career. I'm all over the place in my hunt for the perfect way to make income. Hopefully the new company will keep me happy for a while and I hope I can keep them happy too!

Speaking of happy, I'm going to see Clutch tomorrow night!

Yeah buddddddy!

No Reservations

Well this is the first post of 2013. I don't come here as often as I should and tonight I (for some reason or another); thought I have not been on the old blog in a long time. I'm going to try to make it here more often. Although the readers I once had probably don't come here anymore. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Who know's?

Been a rough go as most of you know over the last six months. I am no longer in the X-Ray business. Xray is the way to go for the most money and time off, however I suck at it and am finding it hard to get a job. I was working for one place that kept me quite busy, I got an offer that was too good to be true and took it. 21 days on and 21 days off. Turns out once I quit and went to this company, the offer was no longer there. I ended up working midnights for a while, and that's not where I wanted to be. The hours sucked and the guys were very condescending  to me (the new guy). Eventually they lost the contract and I was out of work.

Been living off RRSP's and my pension from the OLG (insert spit on floor motion here)! I was borderline retired LOL But it was time to get a job, and a job I got. That just reminded me of the song "I used to work at Chicago"; Don't know it? Look it up LOL

Took a trip to TBay in my time off, was good to see everyone, and visit home. I really enjoyed the drive and the Sean time to clear my head. I had company for the ride there, but the ride home was nice!

When I got back, I took a shit job doing high pressure cleaning and driving vac truck. It's not ideal however the guys at work are awesome! I re applied at the city and hope I can get back on there. I also applied at some other X-Ray companies, but no word yet.

I slept in for work today, why I don't know? It could have been the wine or the fact that I have not gotten that much sleep lately. Been worrying about many things including why I'm here working. My ideal life would be to travel and see this rock we live on. I been watching Anthony Bourdains No reservations show and it's not helping, because it just makes me want to go to the airport. Seriously love that guy!

How you doing?

Well, I’m not in Jail yet! Actually things have been pretty good with the co-worker! I wonder if he reads this??
Life has been the shits over the last few months and I’m starting to wonder what I’m doing here??
I mean really the only thing keeping me here is my job, and the fact that I need a job that pays as well as the one I have. I go to work, get harped on all day, then I come home and talk to the cats.
People wonder why I drink(often)!
Been having a shitty week at the work, and I was told by the way of “suggestion" that maybe I should look into another ticket in the same industry as I’m not fast enough shooting welds to turn the production they want. My co worker actually said to the boss “ he’s trying and he’s good but, just not fast”. Now I wasn’t there for the said conversation but for all I know he could have thrown me under the bus. I guess only time will tell.
Nobody (from what I have seen) is honest with you in this industry. People talk behind your back and talk to you about other people. I asked the co worker why people talk so much about others? He came out with a story on because they never see each other for very long during shift changes and it helps em hear how or what the other is doing? Really?? Sounds like 90210 gossip to me. I don’t get involved, Nor do I care that much to see(hear) how so and so fucked up, or was late or??? I can imagine the things people say about me when I’m not around.

Life Squared

Well Hello there! Are you surprised? I’m back! Haven’t even remotely thought of posting in a long freakin time, but today I woke up from a dead sleep, and thought hey i haven't done this in a while.

Life has been so so these days. Everything has changed and it feels like I’m back at square one. That could go two ways I guess, a fresh start or a whole lotta wasted time!??!?

I miss my job at the city, but i like the pay check I get with my new job. Some say money isn’t everything, however I need to make serious cash right now even if it’s doing something i don’t love.
Check that, I like the job, but lately I been stuck with a coworker who micromanages and nit pics my every move. Never been to Jail before, but this might be the reason I end up there! Eventually when someone bitches at you long enough you just ignore them; in one ear and out the other, I often wonder if he just likes the sound of his own voice? I could understand if it was constructive criticism, some of it is, and some of it is just bitching for the sake of bitching! I could request to work with someone else, but that would mean i’d be back on nights and i’ll put up with his shit to stay on dayshift! OK enough about that, I’m getting angry just typing about it!

So, I’m single again and have no urge to go through the dating process. U know the meet someone put on a fake act to try and impress em. In fact I have no clue how to meet and date people. It’s been over 4 years since I been in the dating game. Hated it back then and i’m pretty sure I don’t like it now.
I’ll just hang out in my apartment full of memories and with my 2 cats.

I don’t speak cat, but i’m pretty sure they are sick of me talking to them. I don’t know alot of people here and the friends I do have are busy with their own lives. Bar stool prophets are my other option, but u know how that goes. Well maybe you don’t, but it gets old pretty fast!
Out of boredom I go to the pub and over indulge in expensive beverages, check out chicks that are way to young for me and then go home. You know when you were younger and went to the pub, there was always that old creepy guy sitting at the bar. Ya that’s me now LOL

Hitting The Bird

If you remember, “Hitting the bird” is a term or slang that refers to budding in line.
Not much hitting for me these days, I just patently wait my turn.
I am formulating a plan, to go to Korea in February...I’m looking forward to it in so many ways!
I miss it there, but I’m glad to be here. It’s a weird feeling for a one man wolf pack!
Well the one man wolf pack had expanded to two! That in its self is pretty exciting!!

This is the QR code for my site! In my semi-nerdiness I made one! I could get it made into stickers, but I don’t type enough to attract attention here!

I won ten bucks in the lottery today, I said there is not enough zeros in my prize, so the guy laughed and handed me the most wrinkled ten he could find!

New (gently used) car is AOK! Of course someone drove into it in the second day I owned it, but it was a scratch and added character! I like it because I can sleep later, and get home earlier from the rat race.
Days turn into nights--turn into weekends and turn into days---what does that turn into? Who knows!

No Quarter

Social experiment has been put on hold. (more on that later)

On a new crew at work, which isn’t so bad.
I say it’s not bad because I came to my evening job in an extremely good mood!

In between typing this and working I have begun a little adventure. An adventure of looking for Cajun cooking classes in Edmonton.

would it not be great to set up a tiki hut on a foreign beach somewhere, and cook food I love?

Diving, cooking, eating, and sunshine..what more could you ask for besides another beer?
