Great Job

The UNO Hockey Team did a fantastic job last night.

Good Morning & Happy #FNP!

I stayed up to watch the entire, totally worth it. The longest I’ve stayed up all week.

Today is Friday 03/14/V3.4. Today is pi day & it is also Dana’s 62nd Birthday. Wish him a Happy Birthday on Twitter. He is @OmahaDriver.

So I took this

picture & my mirror had a mark from my hair on it. I posted the pictures via the fanpage on the local TV Stations. So I’m happy to announce that the mirror is now clean.

My wrist hurts.

I think I’ll go for a bike ride after work today. Do dinner exploring around the area.

What are you doing this weekend?

What a Day

What a Day today was.

Good Afternoon & Happy Monday.

It has been a good day and I haven’t  taken a nap, yet.

Today is Monday 02/17/V3.4 & it is President’s Day. Happy Holiday Kids.

I went to Home Depot & got a hook. Hook, was encouraged (kinda)to move the bike off the patio

Went and saw Winter’s Tale, it was a good movie.

I finished reading An Irish Country Village yesterday. Book 2 of the Irish Country Books.

The word of the day is august which is venerable; eminent.

Have a GREAT day.

Part Time Dancer

I’m listening to Part Time Lover I guess that makes me a part time dancer.

Good Morning & Happy Thursday,

Today is Thursday 12/19/V3.4 & it is Anthony’s Birthday.

It is laundry day & it is 50% done at this point. Tina things that just because we have washer/dryer in unit that I will be changing my laundry day. Tina couldn’t be more wrong.

Did you know that they can’t turn your OPPD off on a weekend? Yeah that was shocking news to me, it can’t be that hard to write a program. It isn’t like they actually have to come out and do it or anything. The meters are also wireless in this area now.

So I packed the linen closet, still have my sleeping bag, air pumps, and winter tires in there. That stuff wouldn’t fit in the boxes I had, if you have some boxes let me know. You can drop them off at the old address and then we’ll go from there.

The word of day is ambulate which is to walk about or move from place to place. I do quite a bit of ambulating.

I have a doctor’s appointment at 1345, then I’m heading to work. That’ll be done at 2000, then back home. I’m going to get the works at the doctor’s office, pulling my blood test up to this month, getting my allergy shot, any other things that I would normally do. Thanks to the change of High Deductible Healthcare Plan.

Looking forward to this weekend, nothing planned going to save the money for the move. Of course I’ll go out and have a drink or two.

Did you see the great deal, 3 University of Nebraska Omaha Hockey games for $30.00. MY MAV Account A Perfect Valentine’s Day gift if you ask me.

Well that’s it for now, make it a perfect day.

Three & One Half Hour

Those are the number of hours I work today.

Good Morning & Happy Saturday.

I have a meeting at The Thompson Alumni Center on the campus of University of Nebraska Omaha. GO MAVS!

Today is Saturday 12/07/V3.4 & it is a day of awesomeness to be prepared for.

I must apologize, I thought I posted yesterday’s blog entry. It was still in draft form, but you can read it or already have read it before reading this. Maybe I’ll not do that this week, that could be a goal. Actually posts your blog entries when you are done preparing them.

The word of the day is jocose which is given to or characterized by joking; jesting; humorous; playful: a jocose and amusing manner.

Me and my neighbor are going into work together, we work right across the street from each other. Well Shoppes at Aksarben & 72nd St is between our buildings, nonetheless across the street.

After my meeting I don’t know what I’m going to do, I had plans to go to Saturday church. That isn’t going to happen, see above. Unlike the bus my neighbor doesn’t have MY bike rack attached to her car, so she can’t bring both of us. So church tomorrow, the alarm is set & I know what I’ve got to do. There is like 64% to 49% chance of snow in the area I’ll be in.

BUT I can do whatever I want.

Well that’s it for now, amazing how many words can come so quickly.

Oh, YEAH!

Good Morning & Happy Friday.

The Kool-aid man is breaking down the wall today.

Today is Friday 09/27/V3.4 & I’m hitting the ground.

Okay that is a Keith Urban song, but it works for today.

I don’t know how to start this entry, cause last night was awesome. I’m also in temporary possession of balloons.

They will be shared/given to the fantastic Maggie for her to keep. Better than flowers?

The word of the day is indubitable which is a thing that cannot be doubted; patently evident or certain; unquestionable.

Going a little different with the ‘first’ one. Although this is our date before our previously scheduled date. That’s how we are going to do things.

After our date, I’ll go home and take a nap. Cause I’m going to Oktoberfest tonight. Brad, Jim, & others will be there. You can also come to The Crescent Moon Alehouse. It is the biggest party. I’ll have this shirt on.

Last nights Taco Ride was great. Meet new people, saw the stars.

Well here’s to you having a fentastic FNP!

My Afternoon Report

Good Afternoon Folks,

Here to provide you with a report on how my previous 10 hrs went.

Always expect the unexpected time, as great as you are.

So today, one of the trainers asked me to shadow a new guy who is on OJT. OJT is VI weeks after the start of training. She said I was patient and stuff.

That was exciting and pretty neat professionally.

Now I’m at home just chilling on the coach. The dishes must be washed, and the dinner must be eaten.

I’ve lubed my chain and checked my tire pressure.

That’s it for now.

It won’t be like that

Good Morning & Happy Monday,

It won’t be like that if you change the inputs.

Today is Monday 09/16/V3.4 and it is Mandy’s 27th Birthday & Sean’s 34th Birthday.

 

If you don’t want a speeding ticket, you input is less than or equal to the speed limit. If you want to see the sunrise, you’d be up by  0706 on Tuesday. It will be at 0705 on Monday. I don’t know if this post will be live by that time on Monday, that’s why I put Monday, post Tuesday.

Wish them Happy Birthday, if you choose. Mandy is @MandyWu on twitter, I don’t know if Sean has a twitter. I didn’t find one in my search there.

The word of the day is orrery which is an apparatus for representing the planets, satellites, etc., in the solar system.

Well I’m putting non-pie in my pie hole, so I shall return to this entry post-ride into work.

So as a bonus to Saturday’s funtimes, it was a Jenga Night. That was pretty fun, it isn’t often (that people named not Vernon J) take board game to a bar. But us Vernon J’s are a different kind of awesome, non Vernon J’s are also a different kind of awesome.

So today shall be a good day. At the present time someone is borrowing my swagger. So at least two people will have a pot of gold day.

What’s going on today?

27% & 10 grams

Good Morning & Happy Sunday,

27% chance of rain & 10 grams of whole grain per serving.

Today is Sunday 09/01/V3.4 & we are officially in the last 1/3rd of MMXIII.

I don’t worry about the rain, it happens. The 27 percenter did happen. It didn’t happen on my way in though. Nah, Nah, Nah.

The word of the day is auspicate which is to initiate with ceremonies calculated to ensure good luck; inaugurate.

So apparently one of my co-workers (@ First Data) found my YouTube channel and shared it among themselves. I had NOTHING to do with it. Excluding the part of me making it. You Gotta Keep it strong. One of them asked me why I quit making my Phase of the Now. I said cause I didn’t think anyone was watching. Boy was I wrong. They also won’t tell me who found it. I kinda wanna know who’s YouTube’n me.

So that’s it for now.

1,071

Good Morning & Happy Thursday,

So Under the Dome is 1,071 pages & that isn’t enough.

Today is Thursday 08/29/V3.4 & it is Game Night in some location that isn’t Omaha.

So I finished reading Stephen King’s Under the Dome and it is 1,071 pages. That doesn’t seem to have been enough though. I walked away having questions, but that is okay. The dome came down because of the kids. They compared it to a kid, his magnifying glass, and ants. The ants have lives too. I also don’t know if you watch the TV Show, but James Rennie does die in the end, Junior dies in the end, all the bad guys die in the end. The book as usually is better than a movie or teevee. I also think this is the BIGGEST book I’ve read from cover to cover. I also paid my $5.00 fine.

The word of the day is bulbous which is bulb-shaped; bulging.

Chapter VIII Article 51in the Charter of the United Nations, also take a read from the a US News Opinion article. I currently don’t support any US-led individual or collation attack on Syria. Also this – State Dept Admits It Doesn’t Know Who Ordered Syria’s Chemical Strike | The Cable.

So I’m hearing that there will be a National ‘Fast Food Strike’ today. If you aren’t working today, this is what you should do. Walk into a restaurant where they are striking and talk to the store manager. Inform them you are ready to work today, then as you leave be like. I just took your job, & I’m Lovin’ It, or whatever said restaurant’s slogan is. There are people willing to work in our nation, and once you agree to work for a company.

Well now that I’ve went on a couple political rants, I’ll bring you the good news.

YUP I’m having burrito’s for dinner tonight. I’m also going to take a nap and do laundry. Probably go get some Ice Cream too. I might go out on the towne and show you what’s up.

The Things

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday,

The things I’d do, are the things I do.

Today is Tuesday 08/27/V3.4 & we are NOT wearing a belt.

I picked the big belt instead of the small belt. The pants I have on require the small belt. The size of the belt is determined by width.

So yesterday was a successful day for the City of Omaha. A department head was replaced by the Mayor. ALL department heads should serve at the pleasure of the Mayor. Not the other way around, which is how it is currently structured. Hopefully they will look outside the Omaha Fire Department for a new chief. I’m in favor of promoting from within, but the system needs someone from outside. Also they need to go to a 401K style appointment.

The first five things I would do IF I win the BIG Jackpot is:

  1. Pay Debt
  2. Start a Scholarship Fund,
  3. Invest in our future,
  4. Build a Bratwurst stand & smash any hotdog vendors.

So I got a flat tire on the way home, not a bad thing. I was prepared tube, pump, and tools to change.

So I got a decision to make tonight, go to Pint Night or go to a Transportation Inclusion Meeting.

I’ll keep you posted.

I had a good day at work.

Well Getway Opens on Friday. Another movie about kidnapping, That hasn’t happened before.
