Looks like another stream of coinscienceness day. I need to improve my spelling and grammar in these posts. Nothing much to do yet at work. I think I am going to get something to do though. As soon as I find out my ultamite schedule I am going get my plane ticket to Venezuela. Probably will leave the last week of June. Listening to the MP3 player again. I fucked up and let both my rechargable batteries die so I am using my last alkaline right now. Shipped the speakers this morning. My powerbook left from the Philipines yesterday but no update on where it is today yet. I sort of shaved this morning. I just trimed the edges not to look so ragged. But I still look ragged and homeless.
Forgot my timesheet today. I'll have to swing back home at lunch and get one. There is the sound of what seems like a large air conditioning unit that persists all day at work. You don't even notice it until it stops a few times throughout the day. It is probably some kind of gamma radiation generator that is slowly killing us all. I was reading something recently on nuclear batteries. It is a battery that uses radiation to generate electricity. It would last for like 5 years. Imagine a cell phone battery that lasted for five years. I thought about radiation batteries in high school when we study radioactive half-life in chemestry class. There is one guy here at work that I like. It is not that I don't like everyone else, I am just indifferent to them. This guy seems like he would do much better in a more lively place. This is the same guy who came up with the really bad spare change joke. At least he was trying.
Sometimes I don't understand people with this odd excessive pride about really stupid things. Or people who always say someone is disprespecting them. I wish I could come up with some examples right now, but I can't think of anything. Conversely I also don't like people who bow to everything because of ridiculous tradition and standards. It usually ok in the case of small stupid things but then some people disregard any type of practicality for it. Damn I wish I had some examples. I can tell that I am not going to get this project done at work that I was hired for. Its on them for fucking around for a month and telling me it was going to take a month to complete. I may fuck around with my own time but I don't tolerate that bullshit from suck ass corporations. I just looked up the world record for jumping rope in a 25hr period. It is held by that king of world records Ashrita Furman. 130,000 skips in a 24hr period. That actually doesn't seem that difficult. Ha, yeah right. I should train and make an attempt.
