My boss dared to yell at me ...

Recently I have felt kind of bad for screwing with my boss so I have been going a little above and beyond at work; Getting some extra projects done and taking the lead on the prep for our annual meeting that starts on Sunday. It is great because it is close enough that I can drive, but far enough that I get a hotel room. Open bar every night and 3 catered meals a day. Sure I am busy the whole time but still in general it is a good time.

Not quite THIS good of a time  ;)

Well today as I was packing up the projector and screen to transport to the conference center, my boss gave me grief in a raised voice in front of several other employees about how I was packing up the equipment. While I know for a fact he was just venting towards me for something someone else did to piss him off, after all the work I put into our big meeting next week I was not about to take that from someone that should have been heaping praise on me for my extra work lately.

NOT COOL !

So I Just finished putting together some programs on a thumb drive, and on Sunday when I am in the office (more extra work) packing up everything I am hauling over to the meeting I will pop into his office, run 1 program to disable all of his spyware protection and 1 program that will infect his computer with a spyware downloader  

Then I will go away for the rest of the week, unable to get back to the office until NEXT Monday… bastard.

What pisses you off?

A good day all around.

I broke in my new grill tonight with BBQ chicken and hot dogs. Throw in some potatoes and a ‘suddenly salad’ and I was off to the races with happiness. The grill worked well, I like the new grates over my old ones and the thermometer on the outside of the lid let me know when it got up to temperature. Now I have to plan on smoking my pork butt this weekend…

So many jokes about pulling my pork...

So let me tell you about the BBQ I went to on Father’s day... my good friends sister was there and she had on what I would call a completely inappropriate dress for the event.  It was basically a shirt, only longer, and every time she sat down or bent over she had to be careful to keep it down. But there were kids there running around and she played with them some.  It went up high enough on several occasions that I knew she either had on a high thong or nothing at all under it. In my head there was nothing under it  ;)

Not the same girl but I think thats the same dress from old navy...

But my air conditioner is…. More on that in a minute.

I had a great birthday on Saturday, I took my family to a baseball game. It was the first one my boys had ever been to.  We ate hot dogs and cracker jacks, I purchased them some foam fingers, and they had fireworks after the game… it was spectacular.

I love fireworks  ;)

We went to a good friends house for a father’s day cookout. Smoked chicken, ribs, wings, a huge spread for food. It is nice having a core group of long term friends that you can just hang out with, and have no worries about some of the petty stuff that comes along with more casual friends…

I wish!

So we get home from the party last night and the house is 79 degrees, not good since the thermo stat is set to 74… I call my neighbor over, he rips apart my unit and does some tests... an hour and a half later he says my compressor is going out. So I am home today going to purchase a new AC Unit… YAY!

Smokes vs Gaming

So apparently I have swapped out my smokes for some console game time. And you wondered what I was going to do with all of the free time and money I got from quitting cigarettes.

I TOLD you it wouldn't be strippers.

Today I loaded up the 2^nd free game from Sony, Infamous. In games like this I always play the good guy. And I have to say, infamous is kind of sweet, defiantly a better version of crackdown. I’ve only played for 2 hours or so but I think I am going to like it. I already see why they made a sequel; some things just have that “awesome” vibe to them.

American MILF 1 left so much unanswered.

Now on to something near and dear to my heart. My local gas station has a program where you pay 7 bucks for a cup and you can refill it all summer long with ice or fountain drinks! Now the cup is about 20 OZ and I drive past this gas station at least once a day. So in the week I have had it I have filled it up 10 times... it is already worth it and technically summer does not start for another 2 weeks!

What makes you happy about the seasons changing??

Somehow, last night turned into a videogame marathon for me.

Now I love video games, I have spent years of my life (seriously, add up the hours and you will get YEARS) in front of PCs and consoles playing games. But as I get older, I dont think of my self as a gamer any more. But some things don't go away I guess.... 

My wife had tacos ready for dinner when I got home, they were just out of the box with some hamburger but she had the good shredded Mexican cheese so they were gooood. But right after dinner my boys wanted to play a new Scooby Doo game on the Wii that they got as a gift. So I played 1 chapter of the mystery with each of them, about 45 minutes each. It was cute and I am sure I will have many more hours playing it with them  ;)

It plays a lot like a Legos game

When we were done the wife took them upstairs for baths and I went out to putter in my garage for a bit. My neighbor J came down when he saw me outside and we got riled up for a game of Madden 2011, we are currently 29 wins for me and 31 wins for him in madden 11. He won last night to take a 2 game lead, I’ll get him next time. But our madden games take right about an hour plus I had to put new batteries in my 360 remotes because we have been playing at his house since I quit smoking.

I wish we could change the opening sequence to a better team!

 After he left I went inside and kissed the boys goodnight. And went to hang out in my room, my wife was reading, so I plopped down next to her, I couldn't find anything on TV so I fired up my ‘free from Sony play station network’ copy of little big planet (Thanks AnonSec!) and played on line for a few hours until we went to bed. It is a fun game and I spent almost an hour working on building a level  ;)

 Now if I ever bitch about not having time to get something done feel free to remind me about the time I somehow spent over 5 hours playing video games in 1 NIGHT!! Whilst still spending time with my kids, with my friends AND with my wife… Good times.

So as one of the people that owns a PS3 but does not use it much for online gaming the Playstation network being down did not impact me very much. Basically I just watched my Netflix on the Wii and had to wait to get my LA Noire free with my preorder downloadable content… So last night when I got to log in and download two free games, AWESOME!

Almost but not QUITE as awesome as this.

I picked little Big Planet and Infamous be cause they both have sequels so they cant suck  ;) I haven’t played Infamous yet but Little big planet has a very British sense of humor so I love it already. I was kind of hoping some of you had played it and could offer up some tips  ;)

I am so much cooler then I should be...

And now to reply to some of the comments on yesterdays post:

Well, the votes are in and I can keep saying that I quit 3 weeks ago! Yay!

HAPPY!

thanks for your input  ;)

As for my weekend, yesterday I took my kids to a water park. It is always fun and for the first time the boys were big enough to spend time in the wave pool. For those of you that don't go to wave pools they are super fun and a great place to people watch, ours is good for an average of 1 boob an hour. 

These are so fun!

Wait WHAT!?

Ya, you heard me right, the waves reach up to 10 feet above the bottom of the pool, with a crest to trough of 5 feet. So as you are lifted up and down and pushed around by the waves you will inevitably bump into other people around you. 

So the two most common sights I see are

1) the girl in a swim suit of the wrong size, either to small or to large, it does not matter, and the swirling waters and up and down forces cause a “pop out”. Yesterday I witnessed one where the bikini top was dragged up by a wave as the girl was going down, letting both out, and one where the one piece top was dragged down my a wave as the girl was standing up, causing the suit to drag down and let one pop out. 

She might not even need any help to pop out. 

2) After that comes the helpful friend

In all that water sooner or later a girl will be going up while a friend is coming down, or they will be horse playing and something will snag the girls top and “POP”

Thanks Lindsay!

I love the wave pool. 

Casting...

I was watching a baseball movie last night with my kids and I realized that they really have no criteria for casting players in baseball movies. Tim Robbins as a pitcher in Bull Durham, or Major league where I am SURE several people that had to go through rehab after pretending to have played a game of baseball…

Up your butt, Jobu

And that got me to thinking about other “sports” movies that had bad casting, Woody from cheers as a basketball phenom? Michael J Fox as a basketball star in Teen Wolf? (ok not a sports movie but still funny!)

We love him as long as he plays good ball!

 And then I realized its not JUST baseball, they do it to football also! Scott Bakula in Necessary Roughness, Keanu Reeves in The Replacements, Daemon Waynes in the last boy scout…

Best part of that movie!

I hope they never make a movie about swimsuit competitions, we would end up with America Ferrera in the lead.

America Ferrera

... Also America Ferrera!

NOT America Ferrera!

The Doctor.

So last night I finally broke down and started watching Doctor Who. I am starting with the 2005. I hope they can keep up the humor and pace the first two episodes set. I cant decide if the girl Rose is hot or not…

 

I actually have a lot to get done at work today but there is a problem...

I never get any work done

Sooo ya, ill just leave this here and come back later.

Off topic? Or ON topic?

A few notes and what nots:

So I had the lucky moment of being the 300th follower of http://chocotaster.blogspot.com/ run by alexander, and he kindly put me in the running for his own personal "The Chocotaster Chocolate Strawberry Award!" he gave me a shout out on his blog so I am already a winner ;)

Is there anything not awesome about this picture?

I added a tab at the top for just posts taged with messing with the boss  ;)

Day 28

On the smoking front I am doing pretty well, I feel good today. I am more annoyed that a ton of changes i made last week got wiped out by Bloggers reset...


On the Boss front I took another step today. He had to run out for a little bit this morning so I took the opportunity to pop in his office and change his screen resolution from where he had it at 1600x900 to a custom 1520x855 A perfect 5% lower, none of his icons moved so they are all in the same exact place but everything got just a little BIGGER

I hope he doesn't notice!

The little things are starting to change...  

I haven't tapped my pocket and looked around me desk for my smokes today!

I ate lunch and drove back to work with out even thinking about a smoke!

WIN!

But sadly this all comes at a cost… before bed last night I pulled one from my safety net…  it is funny how guilty it made me feel after words…

Lose

But today is a new day!  It was just 1 little trip up, wont happen again!

Lets talk about happier things, like:

Today I got to work kind of early and my boss was not here yet, so I went in his office and moved his desk about 1 inch towards his chair. I don’t know if you have ever sat at a desk for a long time but a little change like that will throw you off for days. If he notices it he will just assume the cleaning crew did it  ;)

Suggestions for tomorrow?

Ill pay you in pretty girls… 

So then there was that....

I forgot to take my Chantix this evening.. i think thats why my cravings were so bad...

Bruno, did you know that Samoa moved the international date line from thier west coat to thier east coast recently?

Malkavian... who is hotter, Megan Fox or Sienna Miller?

VenomForMasses ... do you think the sudden rush of super hero movies is over saturating the market or are you as giddy as a school girl (like me) that we finaly have something worth my $$$ in the ciniplex?

Astronomy ... Rudy... Great football movie or BEST football movie?

Colin... thoes are the Ladycats.. the dance team for the NBA team Charlotte Bobcats, you should watch the video they submited to become the number one fan voted dance team in the NBA this year... Ill link it for you here ;)


ed... For you

Perfection

See that banner at the top of the page?

Ya, that banner up there... I made that for right now...
This sucks…
My boss was a bit of a dick at work today…
This is when I used to do most of my smoking…
I got nothing to do that’s interesting enough to take my mind off it…

So I guess ill use ya’ll as my coping mechanism…

Houses

I had a dream last night about a scary house...

It was an old run down house with dead leaves all around it... Kind of like this

Abandoned house

But it was all out of focus, i couldn't really see the house that well.

Spooky house

It was NOT big and cartoony like a fake haunted house or drawing of a scary house

haunted house

It still looked like someone lived in it, it was not an abandoned house

Scary house, for a kid

I dont know.. i cant seam to find the house agian...

Erie house
