There's no fool like an April fool.....

I just realized that today is April first. Isn't it funny how time can get away from you?

Maybe it was the two weeks or so that I took off work. That always seems to skew my sense of time. They say that April showers bring May flowers, and we all know what May flowers bring.

Yes, that's right. Pilgrims.


Ok, now that the bad joke is out of the way, I'll go ahead and say that I think I'm going to really like my new job. I've always had good phone etiquette, and have been complimented on my professional manner on said device.

I had to sign an nda, so I won't go into much detail.

There is one thing tho; I'm currently the only male operator on staff. It's a good thing I get along with women. Grin.

I haven't gotten my set schedule yet, and to be truthful, I'm not even sure that I will have set days off. I do know that I will be working swing, which at this company is 12:30 to 9 p.m. For me, that's a pretty nice time frame.

I'm scraping the corners of my brain, and I can't seem to find anything else earth-shattering to relate, so I'll bring this to a close.

Fiesta con carne,

If it's not one thing, it's another.....

So much has happened in the last 8 days, that I don't even know where to begin. Some of it's still a little to fresh to talk about.

In fact, I think I'll just gloss over it all, and say that today was the best day I've had since last I posted.

It began with me getting a new job (answering service operator, 7 bucks an hour bene's after 90 days) and ended with me relaxing by the water in Washoe Valley, drinking a beer and fishing. We brought home 6 Rainbow trout, and I've still got beer, so all is good.

I'm debating on whether I should clean the fish, or ask Pops to do it.

Not that I'm squeamish about that sort of thing, it's just that my hands were so cold out at the pond that they just warmed up, and I'm still having trouble using them.

Hope all is well with all of you, and if my hands thaw out, I'll try to post again later.

Poncho las Diablos,

I love eating Chinese food cold, right out of the paper container.....

That's what I'm doing right now, just so you know. It's General Tsao's Chicken, and it's fucking great. This place around the corner, China East, has some of the best I've ever had.

It's cheap, too. Dinner for 2, which includes one entree per person, fried or steamed rice, soup, and appitizers (2 each fried shrimp, Chinese spare rib, and spring roll)is only 21 bucks and change, delivered.

I don't care how you slice it, that's a good deal. And it's tons of food.

If you don't know how to eat with chopsticks I'd highly reccomend it.

A lot went on today, but I'm really to tired to get into it at the moment, so I'll do it tomorrow.

Night,

T.

Yeah, it's been forever...what's your point?

It' been a rugged week. I've been in almost constant pain (quit my job over it, in fact), and it's getting worse.

I have gone fishing a couple times. Not having a job is nice in some ways, but I'd trade it for no pain and a job. My back is a wasteland, and even as I sit here, it's hurting, so I'm not going to spend uncounted hours typing all the gory details today.

Oh yeah, it snowed again last night. It's been hinting at it for a few days now, and now it's here. At least I don't have to go anywhere today.

Headache, brought on by neck/backache = not fun. Not even a bit.

Well, gonna go eat a handfull of ibuprofen, and chase it with a glass of whiskey. If that doesn't kill me, I may post again later.

Then again, maybe not.

p.s. it's fucking snowing right now 8:35 am pst winter can suck my dick

I was going to take a nap, but I changed my mind.

It was one of those days. I slept in (scheduled day off); drank some coffee; played eq.

-->ding 67 btw<--

My buddy B showed up and wanted to go fishing. The only problem with this is, I don't have a fishing liscense. Nor, sadly, do I have the 39 dollars to get one. I have been wanting to go take some pictures lately tho, so I told him we should go to Davis Creek, and he said ok.

He comes by, picks me up, and off we go. We stop at am/pm, and he buys me a 40 (yeah...so?) of MGD. He then proceeds to drive to the little pond in Washoe Valley, and not to Davis Creek. He says he wants to try this place first. We get out: some old guy out there fishing.

B asks how the fishing is, guy says if your using bait, you should go to Davis Creek. There catching lots up there, and they're bigger. B relents, and again we're off. We get there, and I tell him I know the spot. He walks up to the waters edge, and talks to the two guys out there fising. They've got a couple of nice ones. He wants to fish here. Again, we wander about; he tries 'his spot.'

I'm telling him I know where to fish.

Well, to make an immense story merely long, when he finally went where I was asking him to, he caught a trout I'm gonna say 14-16 inches. Maybe 1.5, 2 pounds.

Niiiiice fish. You can be assured, that fish will be consumed tonight. A nice lemon butter sauce, tons of garlic. I can taste it now. I've so got to get a digital camera.

Tagged too, by fish and game.

Pretty cool.

Oh, I also found a bona fide antique out there. I'm going to get my Mac up and running so I can scan it.

No, really.

That's where the title of this post comes from, really. I was going to take a nap, but, despite my weakend condition, I've decided to do something about my room.

This is not a light undertaking. I sign off now, and these may perchance be the last words we share, as my bedroom is a vast wilderness of disarray.

El bueno calypso,
