Unbalanced

Ive been feeling rather off kilter lately, and im not sure why. But today was a good example of my de-kilterification (yeah i made the word up, so what? wanna fight about it?)(do you ever re-spell words with as many letters as possible? I do all the time! like this; Wraght:Rat Bhrayghnes:Brains Ckhaghrre:Car I made a four letter word into 28 letters in college, that was awesome... what was I talking about?)
(I remember!)
I have 3 tiers of management I work with directly. The big boss, Mike, is the Midwest regional manager. I used to report directly to him, but when AMO acquired Intralase, the number of employees under Mike doubled, so we got Supervisors. John is the Supervisor that I report directly to now. If he is out then we report either up to mike or down to Charlie the Senior Field Service Engineer. Got it?
Mike
John
Charlie
Me

So, Mike is in the hospital (for something not terribly hideous) and will be out for a week or so.
John went to Thailand for his winter vacation (because when I think of the most magical place I could go for a Christmas vacation, I think
Nakhon Si Thammarat)
And we all know about the bombing there, so he is stuck there for another ten days.

Finally we have Charlie who is also in the hospital. (again nothing hideous)

So I have no boss, not that its a huge deal, because I work by myself anyway, I rarely see my bosses, or even talk to them. But its still an odd thing.

And then today I got a call that I needed to go to Omaha to fix a system. So, I drive 3 hours get there and fix the problem in 20 minutes, and drive back home 3 hours.

Thats so odd!! I get paid for this.

I love the movie Joe vs The Volcano. Its a metaphor for life.


This Picture is amazing!!! I feel like that a lot.




Well....

This post is stupid, and didn't go anywhere.

I'm not even going to post this.

I'm serious. I'm not going to hit the post button. Its not worthy.

Crap.

I should have known...you were up til 1am because you were rambling on the internet. Silly me.

Didn't you write a term paper in college about Joe Vs. The Volcano and it being a metaphor for life. I think you should find it and post that on your blog.

Dear Eric,
That was very random. Taco

Hey, don't listen to Annette- I LIKE the post.. And Cauliflower. It's yummy. Oh, and the color Orange! Except not that grungy yucky looking orange, it has to be a GOOD orange. Not to be confused with the fruit-- Which I also like! Do you think the fruit was named after the color, or the color after the fruit?
Pandas are pretty cute.
:P

Have you ever noticed that in the part where it shows that shot of the volcano and all the torches going up it, nothing is moving??? The torches seem like they're moving up the mountain, but they're not. Why is that?

(this is both a comment on this post and a question in response to the next post)

I forgot to mention that Eric made the desktop on MY computer the picture with the moon.

Yet it's been over 12 hours since I noticed, and haven't done anything about it.
