Long Time No Key

It's been a few weeks since my last blog. I guess I was hoping that something interesting or exciting would pop up for me to blog about, but not so much. I think the biggest news is that I have almost completely transitioned back to World of Warcraft. I might have jumped on the 360 for a few hours in the past month to play some new XBL Arcade games and thats about it.

Some random comments:

1) Have you ever kept the pizza box in your refridgerator even though there is no pizza left in it? I finally threw mine out the other day after a few days. I think I ate the last piece at night really late and just didnt want to bother throwing it out. (Pizza boxes dont fold well or fit into my trash can). I think that I just got used to it being in the fridge, like a visual fixture that just seems so commonplace. Last night I was like, "Wow, there isnt any pizza in this box and hasn't been for almost 4 days!" So I finally threw it out. There is alot more room in my fridge for rummaging now.

2) The stairs leading up to my apartment are under construction. No big deal, I take a slightly longer detour to get to my door now. Now, I am not an engineer or construction oriented guy, but they have been working on this for almost 2 weeks now. Yesterday I asked the guys (who were aparently on a u nion "nap time" break) if they needed any help or extra tools. I was sincere and polite, but I think they got mad.

3) I had an interview with my career retention specialist today. I am up for reenlistment and wanted to get the ball rolling on that. The specialist, however, insisted on bombarding me with really long winded stories and anecdotes during the interview. All I needed to do was get a few peices of paperwork and leave. Being that I am almost always a polite and good natured person I am listening, smiling, and nodding, listening and nodding...

....listening...

....and nodding.

So finally I just told him, "I can't pretend to listen to what you are saying anymore...my neck is getting sore and I have a ton of stuff to do back at my office."  A stunned look then appeared on his face, he shuffled my papers into a folder, handed them to me, and with an embarrassed look told me to have a great day.

 

I think that wraps up my blogging for the day. Leave a comment and bookmark me!

My kids hate tearing up pizza boxes to throw away for some reason. I am like, "C'mon boys, you don't have enough muscles to break down a pizza box and have to have your momma do it for ya?" Let me know if you need any help with that one...

I love the interview story! People seem shocked at my similar attitude but when youre stuck in a situation where some arrogant windbag is using the opportunity to hear himself talk I feel its my civic duty to call him on it. Ive wasted enough of my life listening to other peoples shit. Its up to you to sit there and nod or walk away and accomplish something. Good post.
