I'm lookin' through a hole in the sky

  I'm seein' nowhere through the eyes of a lie...

  ...or something like that.


the beginning of a bolt of lightning tonight at work (out back)

  This week was tiring, and I'm glad it's nearly over with. Next week though...

  Next week should be pretty interesting...

  I was chosen to take part in a kaizen event at work. I get to discuss (for ten hours a day, for four straight days, Friday we get to have breakfast and leave early! ) improvement of work cells in my department and whatnot. I'm actually pretty jazzed about the whole thing. I've never taken part in one of these, and I'm always anxious to try something new.

  It'll be weird adjusting to a day shift schedule for a week, but I'm flexible, I think I'll manage...

  I'll get out early, presumably late Friday morning sometime, and then I'll have Colombus Day Weekend off! Actually, I took the following Tuesday off as a vacation day, so I'll have, what for me will be a five day weekend!


mikey's conception of mikey on vacation

  ...which, considering how broke I am right now, means I'm gonna lay around for five days an' be a total bum.

  I dunno...

  I might take my loan back up tomorrow and get some work done on my car over the weekend. I might even buy the cheap laptop I've been drooling over at Wal-Mart for the past few weeks.


"hmmm... lay around an' be a bum? or... DO stuff?

  It's a helluva tossup for me...

  I know, my life is incredibly BORING. Garden slugs get more out of the universe than I do, but you know what?

  I dig it that way.

  I HATE it when my life gets complicated. I like to just go to work, come home, and just BE.

  It's times like this when I LIKE the fact that I never got married or had any kids. This weekend, I'll wake up Saturday afternoon to the quiet hum of a fan and wonder "hmmm... should I get out of bed? lay here some more? sleep some more? or... maybe get some energy together and lay on the couch an' watch a movie?" Some people might be disgusted by my off-work slothfullness, but man - it's just delicious to have problems like these! I'm thirty-five with NO commitments, NO responsibilities that I can't handle by working at a good job every day, NO obligations (other than a wedding I have to attend next Saturday - then I'm free an' clear for an indefinite period of time), no wife, no kids, no worries, no hassles...

  If this is contentment, I'll take it.
