Long Time No Blog

Things have been crazy. My job sucks as usual. My girlfriend is in another state.

Let's start with job sucks. Scotland Yard or Bagpipes as we have now nicknamed him drives me nuts. He decides to install a new phone system on a Wednesday. Really??? Middle of the week. Well installing the new phone system took 3 days and in those 3 days our phones did not work 90% of the time, our computers 50% of the time and our printers 30% of the time. Basically we just sat there complaining a lot. I have realized in 10 years with this company that I am more intelligent than 80% of management. It is a very sad day when you realize something like that.

Girlfriend-well I went to visit her this weekend. Let me just say it was not what I had expected. Granted we have been together for over 7 years now and I really thought I knew everything about her. Boy was I wrong. It seems that she is so depressed because of my absence she is not capable of doing anything for herself. Well, at least that was what she said. She had not done laundry since I had seen her. She had not gone grocery shopping since I had seen her. She had not cleaned her apartment since I have seen her. When she ran out of clothes, she went and bought new ones. Seriously. She eats out every night so she doesn't have to go to the store. So I spent my weekend getting her caught up on all of this. She said another reason she doesn't like doing laundry is because the place in her apartment building doesn't feel safe to her. So I drove around this big town until I found a nice safe clean laundry mat for her to do her laundry. I took her grocery shopping. Her dogs had damaged the walls and door of the apartment so we went to Home Depot to get the things to do the repairs. I would say the highlight of my weekend was getting to eat at PF Changs and getting to sleep with her in the same bed again. I gave her a huge pep talk and got her all caught up...probably just for another 3 weeks when I see her again. I never realized I was the strong one in our relationship. She makes all the money. I give all the pep talks I guess.

Tomorrow I have to go cross train...another stroke of genius by Bagpipes. I get to be a recruiter for a whole day. No access to my e-mail and not being able to do my job and being behind on Wednesday will drive me nuts. I actually thought about calling in sick. Wonder if that would get me fired???? Hmmmm...it is tempting. More blogging time...
