Wow, I haven't been here in a month. That's Criminal. I guess I'm just too busy to express myself lately. It's seems everyday I have a whole list of things to do, not counting work for 9-11 hours. Yes, that is now my average day. Some might call me crazy, but I rather enjoy my job. The time goes by rather quickly. Buy, research, input data, negotiate with people we need to pay, argue with accounting, go to meetings, ect. It's a very busy job after 8am. The first 1.5 hours I reserve for myself. My coffee, time to check my messages and plan my day and input any left over data into the computer. It's also a great time to contact my East Coast contacts. By 8am, the mass is here and then it's one phone call after another of crisis. I become a reed in the wind returning to my desk to clear the paperwork whenever I get the chance.
Yesterday I received the strangest request yet. The production manager calls me, "Sean, I need you to get me a high powered BB Gun". You need what? Apparently he wants to use the gun to shoot the birds out of the rafters. "So, you want to shoot a high powered air rifle INSIDE the building?" YES! So I called the VP and he was all for it. I think their both crazy. They wanted it NOW. I escaped out of the escapade by declaring that the only way to do so would be to go to the store in person, and since my name isn't on any company credit cards, I wouldn't be able to purchase it. My boss, Sal, and I got a good laugh out of it though.
It's kinda strange calling Sal Boss. He's more like a friend who lets me do whatever I want. All I really have to do is be willing to jump through hoops when he needs me. The rest of the time I'm on my own.
My home life is good. Darrien is doing well in homeschool. He is excelling in math and doing about what we expected in everything else. Patty is starting to show. You can tell where the little whipper snapper is by the hard spot on her stomach. I like to move him/her around. She is still protesting the buying of maternity cloths.
We joined a Bible study group much like the Gel Groups of Forefront. Unfortunately we are going to have to leave before we get much of a start. We reallized after the whole group agreed to meet Wednesday that Darrien's AWANA (His bible study) meets on Wedneday. But how could you not have reallized this you ask? Well, it was still middle of summer when we chose and AWANA works on a normal school year schedule. It was the farthest thing from our mind.
The good news is the Dave, our Associate Pastor and great all around guy, is thinking of starting another group. Apparently Mic, his group leader, thinks he's crazy for driving as far as he does and keeps telling him to get lost. He's the black sheep of his group. Dave lives much closer to us and hopefully we all can come up with some arrangement.
Well I must be going. I have to finish an on-going project I'm helping my friend, Nova with. She is repainting her room. Normally this is a simple project. But her grandparents decided that the room should be painted with this high gloss paint long ago. The problem with high gloss paint is you can't paint over it, it won't stick. So I've had to spend a whole day just sanding the ceiling (last Saturday). That in itself was enough to wipe me out. Spent another evening laying down primer on the ceiling (only got one and a half coats down or up). Today, her uncle is going to join us and hopefully we will finish. Wish me luck.
