Well, I'm working 12am-12pm all this week. My co-workers are happy because our news doesn't suck (I actually have some kind of idea of how to do it well).

So I'm happy I'm getting more money. RIght now I feel like crap because I couldn't sleep well last night. I kept having nuclear holocost dreams.

:(

Life sucks right now, but a lot of people have it worse off than I do. At least I am in relatively good health.

Life is treating me fairly well. I just met a really incredible girl who gives me the butterflies every time I think about her, I started a new job repairing computers (and i still have my other job) so my money situation is improving, and im moving out of my dilapidated house into a nice loft in a smaller town about 5 miles away. I'd say life is pretty feckin incredible at the moment.

Good I suppose. I don't get sick often, not had any car accidents, no incidents with criminals other than shoplifters where I work (Walmart), haven't been seriously injured at Walmart either, which is quite good, considering the weight of some of the stuff I work with. Advice - look both ways before crossing an isle. If a pallet weighing several hundred pounds is being pulled down that isle, it will NOT stop easily. If it's light, like 400 pounds, then it'll stop in around 3 feet, maybe less, depending on the strength and weight of the driver. If it's heavy, like over 1700 pounds, it might take more than 5 feet to stop, and it'll plow through just about anything in its path.
Ok, enough about the pallets and traffic at Walmart...got a decent computer, got a job (not the kind I want, but a job), good relationship with parents (who are still married :)), good place to live...so not too bad I guess. Though 2 weeks ago, I ran over a small underground hornet nest with the lawn mower. The one that found me expressed its dislike of me. That was thoroughly unpleasant.

Hmmm.....

I like my job, have a loving wife and a wonderful 2 year-old son, have a nice house..........

Life is GREAT!!!!!!!!


BEST = Waking up and having my wife cuddled up next to me - followed by walking into my son's bedroom before work and seeing him wake up to recognize me and shout "Daddy!!!!!" with a big smile on his face!

WORST = nothing too significant that is worth mentioning.

Best: That time late at night when everyone else is asleep and I am sitting up. There is complete silence and every minute feels like an hour because I know as soon as I go to bed, I will wake up and it will be time for work again.

Worst: Waking up and realizing that I have to go to work again.

Lately though, I've been going to bed early which has sort of blended my best and worst. I no longer get to enjoy that late night solitude, but yet the mornings arn't so bad because I am actually awake.

hmmm, ok i guess.

guess it could be worse...at least i have a decent job, nice laptop, decent car, good friends....only bad thing i guess is that i have no g/f, but its been that way since april when she wanted to be 'jus friends again', blah. other than girl situations, id say good.

best: getting off work to go home and be w/ friends, play xbox, listen to music, and eat dinner.
worst: getting up @ 7am to go to work :|

I've got a great wife and a wonderful daughter. I got my second promotion in 2 years with an 18% raise. I've worked hard to get where I am today, but that is a reward in itself. My only problem, I don't sleep well at night because I wake up having nightmares about everything going too good, and something terrible is about to happen. All and all, everything is going great.
