Captain Hook -Lil' Miss Cranky Pants -Workman's Comp Nightmare!

Some of my friends call me Happy Pants most days... I'm usually just bouncing around being my happy silly self... Although lately, I've come to realize that I work for Satan! Well, it's actually an egg farm. I get to pack eggs into boxes all day about 30 hours a week, another 12 doing quality control on said eggs. So now I have carpal tunnel from repetitive motion work. I have tennis elbow and I don't even play tennis! ARRRRG! But I do fence and here's the kicker, my job wants to blame my injuries on FENCING! Yes, the hobby that I love and might have time to get to a few hours a week at best if I'm lucky. Now I've been forced onto a transfer to something that resembles a dungeon. It's complete with mice, their droppings, and about a million dead bugs all over the place. Plus a thin layer of feed dust and chicken manure floating in the air at any given time, most of the time actually. But yeah, it's the mouse droppings that kill me. I wonder how they got into the microwave! No bathrooms, just two community port-a-johns that smell like crap and has enough flies to carry you away at some point. One refrigerator that is mainly for bird vaccine storage, so really can't stick food in there to keep it cold... I wouldn’t want to anyway. Um yeah, I wouldn't even condemn the mice to live in that thing. No kind of water I would drink from, no water cooler, no vending machines, or accessible sinks to wash the filth away. I'm fairly isolated there, no one to talk to unless one of the two other peons come in for a break, nothing to do, can't clean anything, I'm restricted from doing anything but twiddle my thumbs, no wait, can't do that, that's repetitive motion too, so therefore I'm hurting myself and should stop! I seriously think I was put there so I would get fed up and quit. The classic out of sight out of mind, well, I DON'T THINK SO! Since I am essentially doing nothing but roasting in a dungeon, I could easily sit at the main office, nice clean place with air conditioning and do the same thing. So why am I in a pit of crud? Hmmm, seems to me, I have a right to be upset and paranoid now. GAH! Any lawyers out there want to sue the crap out of this place for me? I bake cookies, good cookies. HELP!

And I'll go wearin' my naughties like a jewel...
I'm still an angel to a girl who hates to sin

Ten Year Class Reunion... A Gross Pointe Blank

I heard that I missed my ten year class reunion during my trip to Jersey... not that I missed much. The few friends I had, I have heard news of or actually seen in the past ten years. I had no real desire to see other people that were never interested in what I had to say anyway! So I ran into an old friend a few weeks ago, over the Memorial Day Weekend. That was treat enough! It was like going back in time and catching up on the all the good things we remembered. Hi Earle... Are you reading this? Man we had a blast in High School when we weren't plotting the destruction of idiot school mates. Now it's bills, life, and general mental cramps, but old friends can never be replaced. So here's to better times and new memories. YAY!

Life's a Beach

So my neighbors are still crack head red necks... Nothing new there, I didn't think aliens would swoop down and mutate them into something that resembles normal. I don't think they can even fake normal!

Went to New Jersey, that's was fun, kinda like a dental visit after sitting in a truck cab for 14+ hours with nowhere to move my poor legs and feet! Next time, I'll fly or take a vehicle that actually has a back seat to sleep on comfortably.

The highlight of this lovely road trip was going to Gettysburg on the way home. Lots of monuments and things to see. Getting a real perspective on history is priceless! The hills were nice to see, but I realized after a few days of seeing HILLS everywhere, that I missed the 80+ acre corn fields and rows of soy beans that I see around here daily in my Hoosier home of Indiana!

Alas, not much else to report that won't incriminate me at home! Don't ask... it's complicated.
