Busy Bee

It’s been a busy week. I have a new trainee at work, on a new shift, recovering from food poisoning, moving furniture, and going to school. OY! I’m tired. I’m normally not a nap person but this week I’ve had to invest in some well deserved naps. I’m waaay behind on my blogroll too.

*The following rants are about my boring domestic details. Feel free to skip this post if you’re looking for something juicy*

I’m still adjusting to the new hours at work. Getting up earlier isn’t the problem, going to bed early is. It’s been playing havoc w/my gym schedule as well. I haven’t been consistently in two weeks. Last week was a bust due to my surprise case of food poisoning. (…like getting it is ever planned. I found out two of my classmates got it too. It was definitely the chinese place. Today, I stuck w/Subway.) Needless to say, I’m feeling all limp/flabby this week. Tomorrow I’m back at it and can’t wait. Hopefully, I’ll be feeling all beefy again real soon! Oh and my new trainee is off to a fine start. She is first rotation radio and really picking it up quickly.

Switching subjects, I often speak of Karma and any regular readers know I’m a big believer. I’ve been needing a new entertainment center. The old one, besides being busted, just wasn’t cutting it. I had crap stacked all over the floor. Right when I’m at my moodiest over it, I get a call from my friend Bobby. A distant relative of his is moving into a new house and wants to give one away. Now my first thought, ‘well if it’s free, it’s probably a piece of crap’. Bobby assured me it wasn’t and seemed to think I’d like it. Knowing how persnickity he can be about furniture, I went w/it and was pleasantly surprised. It turned out to be the perfect size for my needs. It’s a light shade of pine which wouldn’t have been my first choice however, beggers can’t be choosers. Considering, I was about ready to plop down $700.00 for a new one from IKEA, it was a blessing. Getting it moved and setup was a whole other story. I’ll skip the details but the ordeal took way longer than it needed too. I also used the opportunity to exchange the DVD recorder I bought a couple weeks ago. It wasn’t working.

School is going really well. I ace’d the quiz today. And, I’m learning a lot very quickly. As I predicted, we lost a few more people. We’re down to about 20 people. Today, we learned how to take “vitals” and it isn’t as easy as the doctor’s make it look. Especially the diastolyc measurement. I had to do mine several times before I got the hang of it. We did a lot of hands on stuff today and I think the whole class got a kick out of it. I can’t wait to learn it all so I can start doing it!

Feeling blue, school and tagged

I’ve been pushing myself a lot this past week. So much so, I think I’ve sorta worn myself out. I’ve been feeling cranky the last couple of days. To make matters worse, I got a light case of food poisoning last night. I had some funky chinese food while on lunch from class yesterday. Last night, I was achey and feeling like shit so I went to be early. I woke up around 3:00am w/the chills and some tummy rumblings. Today, the chills are gone but the stomach is not happy. blech.

So, I’m sitting here in my towel blogging away and waiting for the Safeway delivery guy to show up. I forgot I scheduled my groceries to be delivered today. Of course, I scheduled the delivery the same time as my meeting at work. (I can be such a dunce sometimes). I called to see if he could be here early but no luck.

And speaking of class, it’s off to a great start. As expected there is a lot of reading and work I’m required to do on my own. We lost two people mid-day yesterday. No loss, as all they did was yack during class. It’s hard as hell to listen when someone is yacking incessantly in the background. I have a feeling we’ll lose a few more by next week. Yesterday was the first day we really got into the material and the instructor made a point of showing some of the negative sides of the job.

On a different note, I got tagged by roblog. He was tagged by addaboy.

@#$%!

I’m doing laundry last night and some jerk off apparently decided to use one of the washers to die his clothes. I open a washer full of whites to discover they are a lovely pink. Thinking maybe it was my own fault I sort thru every item looking for the culprit. No luck. On a whim, I look in the trash and see an empty box of die. OH FUCK was I mad. I washed my whites again w/extra bleach and got’em down to a off white pink tink however, I’m still fuming. Two of my favorite shirts and all of my underwear ruined. I swear if I ever catch that fucker I’m gonna chew him up one side and down the other.

I did leave a nasty note on the laundry door thanking him for ruining my laundry. The sheer stupidity of it astounds me.

*I’m pulling 12 hour shift at work today which does nothing for my mood*

Work Work Work

Today is my second day on my new shift. I’m dragging a little. I’m used to 8 hours vs 10 and I’m used to taking my sweet time waking up. I have to get up by 10:00 am now. (I know, poor me) My days off are mixed up this week w/the change. Next week they’ll be all together again.

Saturday was very uneventful. I had lunch w/the ex caught up on a few things. I guess his new boyfriend wasn’t too happy to find out we were still “legally” hitched via our domestic partner registration. (I had to leave him on it so he’d have medical coverage) Well with him finally working he doesn’t need it anymore. He went down and had it dissolved. He was kind enough to bring me a copy of the paperwork. My first divorce! I feel so “legite” now. lolol I was a little sad at first but moving on.

I ran into Tyrone from the BCC committee at Starbucks. We hung out and finished the last batch of images for the 2006 men. I just realized I forgot two pages so I’m working on those today. I’ve finished revamping the entire site so my work is mostly over at this point. I’ll still be doing minor updates but the hard stuff is behind me. (whew) Mostovic also dropped by. I hadn’t seen him lately so we also had a chance to catch up. The three of us ended up doing dinner at Blue and then I volunteered to help Mostovic get his wifi up and running. Three hours later we discovered his DSL line was corrupted and had to schedule a repair. @#$%! SBC! I saw a new offer from Comcast on the tele so I’ve decided to bite the bullet and switch. (Bobby will be so pleased)

I had several things I wanted to blog about today but have completely forgotten what they were. Maybe they’ll come to me later.

TGIF II

So it’s Friday. Tomorrow is my last day having a weekend day off for 5 months. I know I gave up weekends for school but, I am not looking forward to the change. Sunday is my first day on the new shift. Blech! Because of the way our shifts change, I get Saturday and then Tuesday/Wednesday off this coming week. The following week of the 22nd I’ll have straight Mon/Tue/Wed’s off thru December.

On a good note, I discovered that I only have to catch one muni bus from my house to the campus. It goes right by my apartment. It couldn’t have worked out better! (see my afore mentioned comments about karma)

No more Eagle on Sunday’s. No more midnight mass. (yeah right, me in church?!) The only time I’m on my knee is during… uh well, “prayer”. And speaking of prayer, Mostovic, who never blogs anymore, finally got settled in his new place. He is having trouble setting up his wifi. I may try to swing by tomorrow and help him. We were supposed to have lunch today but I got up really late. (don’t ask)

It also eats into the time I devote to charities. I won’t be as readily available for fundraisers. I’ve made allowances for the bigger events but I’ll miss a lot of the smaller ones. [insert sigh of the martyr here]. lol

Bobby is driving me nuts to go to Marine World. (I don’t know why they still call it that as they don’t have marine life anymore. It’s just a theme park now.) Anyway, I haven’t really felt like going. I wouldn’t mind going up to the river but I’ve only been once and I don’t remember how to get there. I certainly don’t plan on driving up there spending hours looking for it. *sigh II* Speaking of charity, if you can afford to purchase a calendar for the BCC, I urge you to do so. It’s the best $20.00 you’ll ever spend. You can go online to purchase the calendar and have it mailed to you. They make great gifts too.

I’m very happy to report that my comm. center donated over $1000 to the family of the sheriff deputy we lost earlier this week. The money will go toward a college trust for his 8 year old son. Sometimes, people can do a good thing!

I’m doing overtime tonight so no late night shenanigans for me. *sigh III*

Can You Hear Me Now? II

I woke up this morning to discover Tmobile had terminated my cell service. I get to Starbucks in the Castro expecting to log on, pay some bills, blah blah blah except no signal. I’m like “oh k, What gives?” So I call’em up, on someone else’s phone mind you, and “oops! we are sorry sir, we cancelled your account for no apparent reason”. With a little digging, we discovered the mysterious error. You’ll remember I lost my cellphone a few weeks back. Well, Tmoblie forgot to remove the automatic account termination after 30 days. I did get a very sincere apology and 50 extra minutes so I guess I can’t complain too much. I think they did it on purpose just to make sure the account wasn’t stolen. Bitches!

Tmobile overall has been a decent service. I haven’t had any trouble w/their cell coverage. Plus, I’m not currently on a contract so they know they have to be nice to me! hehehe

Incoherent Ramblings

I’m in a mood today. On my way to work, I passed this guy that looked exactly like the preacher from the movie “Poltergeist”. I mean it was spooky. He was humming too. I was so struck by the likeness, I got chills. I got the giggles right after.

I guess I should be in better spirits. 1. I mentioned to the employees of the new taco bell close to my house how they kept getting my orders wrong and they gave me my order free today. 2. My friend Mikee from Dallas might be coming to visit real soon. He is a hoot! And, on top of that, I was walking thru the park to work and found a 20 dollar bill! The ether is telling me to “snap out of it” I think. Maybe I should listen?

Work is still very sad over the death of our deputy. Not to mention, I had a good cry yesterday over roblog‘s current life drama. In a nutshell, Rob is being torn apart watching his ex being devastated by opportunistic infections due to AIDS. I don’t think if I were the sick person, my ex would be as caring. I cried partly out of compassion and the other out of shame. I hope to someday find someone as genuine and caring as Rob to share my life with. He doesn’t see himself as anything other than what he is. I see him as much more. Everytime I read his blog and how he struggles, I come away with the utmost respect and admiration for him. It makes me want to be a better person. I think that is the best compliment one human could ever give another.

Ego Booster

I’ve noticed as of late that I seem to get more attention from guys. I know some of you are probably saying “duh Moby!” but it wasn’t always the case. I mean take my friend Bobby. He is a very attractive & muscular man. I’d kill to have a body like his. When we hang out, I often notice guys turn their heads to look at him as we walk by. He, of course, thinks they are stalking him but that’s a whole nother story. (Don’t go there Sally!) My point is that I’ve always thought of myself as above average in looks but never attractive. A big part of it stems from childhood, blah blah bah. But lately, I seem to be turning heads on my own. I have to admit it’s a nice feeling. I’m not so grand as to think I’m flawless but it is nice to be noticed.

I haven’t really gained that much muscle since last year. I think I’m actually a tad smaller. (I stopped working out for a few months right after the breakup.) I’ve leaned out a little but not that much. What has changed that I’m getting more attention now? I don’t know but I sure likes it.

I’d like to think I have more confidence but I’ve had that. I guess it’s not important as long as it continues. hehehe.

On a side note, I will admit I’ve put on some muscle since the old days. I used to be very skinny. My chest was like paper stretched over bone. Don’t believe me? Here is a pic to prove it! (GOD, I can’t believe I’m reposting this pic)

Moby B 4

How’s that for scary? I don’t see myself as that person anymore mind you. But compare that pic to my pics now? Big difference huh? (And I don’t mean just the lack of hair.) Anyay, I’ve come a long way since then. I don’t know if I’ll ever be ripped as I like to eat too much. I’m also of the mindset I enjoy the gym but I don’t live for it. And thats ok w/me. I’m comfortable in my skin. I like who I am inside and out. Not many people can say that honestly.

There you have it. Moby’s shallow narcissistic rant for the day. I don’t know about you but I feel better.

Gym Jam

I ran into a cutie in the dry sauna today at the gym. A tad young for me but he had deep blue eyes like pools of deep water. I’m a sucker for eyes so I gave him my number. We did the back and forth eye contact and lingering gazes, etc. Having no shame, I walked over to him in his towel gave him a strong handshake along w/that deep piercing look that says “yes, I want you naked face down in my bed” and introduced myself. He seemed stupified by my boldness but totally responded to it. Seeing his interest and being the incorrigible flirt that I am, I leaned over and gave him a quick but memorable kiss before I left.

I’m such a stinker!
