Lunch @ Great Hunan

The wife and kids went to an open gym so I didn't go home for lunch and went to Great Hunan's and had the Sesame Chicken. Not bad, but not as good as last time I had it.

It seems like the work environment has been sort of cynical towards the calls we've been getting. It's inventory time so we're getting alot of calls which is good. But this means you get a lot more calls that exasperate you. It's been the concensus this week that there a lot of idiots out there. That of course isn't so much true as it seems when you're loosing your patience.

Bloggin during lunch @ work is kinda hard I'm beginning to think. I get people asking me questions (I'm hourly and punched out) about work, and I can hear everyones conversations, so it's hard to keep my mind on what I'm typing. Also, when you brain was in work mode your mind isn't filled with all sorts of interesting life applicable thoughts that merit typing down. But here I am typing anyway. Interesting stuff eh?

It'll be a good weekend to drive along the great river roads to my hometown. The colors are changing, that fall smell is in the air, and jeans and sweathirts are comfortable. That, and it's been three weeks since I've had a weekend off. I was in New Hampton, IA for an aquisition (to install or computer system)two weeks ago and I had the pager last weekend.

It'll be good to see the family. My brother is seeing a girl who is going to college far from where he's attending college, so since she'll be down I don't think I'll see him all that much. The wife's sister and her husband just finished fixing up the main floor of their new, huge, old, heat budget-gussling, awesome looking house. I hope the kids aren't too overwhelming. Would like to down a few beers and enjoy the weather. Maybe see the nephew run a cross country race. That'd be cool. Maybe I could get mom to do one of those long walks. I'm sure Cherity/wife would like to do something without the children, which also means without me, as I am the one who will need to watch the children. It's all up in the air now. I just gotta brace myself to not be dissapointed by all my plans not going through. I have this issue with thinking I'm going to do something and then when somebody elses plans prohibit this my world crumbles in my mind for a while before I can regroup i.e. accept the situation as is. I'm kind of a stiff when it comes to things like that.

Well, time to punch in now.
