To the last penny

Good Afternoon & Happy Tuesday, bY

I was going to do this post on my way to the movies. I didn’t go to the movies, I had a change of plans.

Today is Tuesday 03/26/V3.3 & it is a great day.

I didn’t go see the movie, due to commitments to work. That I need to go to Place 4121 & Place 7007. I had to get things done. So instead of watching a movie, I took a nap. That’s how Vernon J gets things done.

So apparently Barack Obama is proud of the fact that he is the first President of the United States of America to say ‘Say Same Sex Couples Should Be Able to Get Married. He is also the first President of the United States of America to not present a budget when he is required too on at least 4 occasions. So look at this picture.

YES I get fired up when people don't do there job.
YES I get fired up when people don’t do there job.

The word of the day is wrest which is to take away by force.

So I went to Definitive Vision to get my correction lenses looked at, they are rubbing on the back of my ear & need to be adjusted. They were closed until 13.30, but those are not their posted hours. I’m pretty disappointed in that behavior. Also my Sprint phone had a terrible time connecting to foursquare & ow.ly posting service.

I’ve also figured out when my new shift will be. Starting Sunday, 06/03 I’ll be working 06.00 to 15.30 Saturday – Thursday. I wanted morning shift, so I can go to my other two jobs. They had an 11:00 to 7:30 shift, but that would’ve screwed up my ability to work my 2nd & 3rd jobs.

Getting off at 15.30 actually helps, I can get to the other office by 17.00 & work till till 20.00 or 21.00. But first I get though VIII wekks of training which runs from 09.00 to 15.30. 1st shift, I hope you’ll welcome me back with open arms. We can do this.

Well that’s it for now.

Make the Most of It

Good Morning & Happy Sunday,

Someone on facebook (let’s call her Annika) asked ‘what’s normal again’

Today is Sunday 03/10/V3.3 & it is new beginnings. I get to start work at 14.00 & am done at 22.30.

I posted on ‘Annika’s’ wall that Normal is what you decide. So what’s normal for you?

Over the last Five and one-half+ years my normal has been working two (or more jobs). I just took another position on a PT basis with an organization that I’ve supported for years. But thi$ PT job can replace the other part time job; if I so choose. Making sure I enjoy the day that I’ve been blessed with.

I’m currently okay (80%) with that normal. But I hope that normal will change soon. There is rumors going around that ‘main employer’ is on a hiring freeze. Don’t know if it is true, internal or external. I’ll have to check with multiple sources before I do anything. That anything is applying to outside companies like I’m only part-time employed.

On Tuesday 03/12/V3.3 is my 1 year anniversary of working at ‘main employer’; that doesn’t factor into my decision. The question that I have to ask myself is, What’s best for Vernon J & ‘the family’

The word of the day is haberdashery which is a retail shop dealing in men’s furnishings, as shirts, ties, gloves, socks, and hats.

Earlier (on instagram) I posted this picture.

I included “Don’t let Life, Liberty, & the pursuit of happiness go dim like this lightbulb”

As a friend or reader, I honestly want you to do that. I want you to be optimistic about EVERTHING, aslo don’t worry about a THING. Life has a way of taking care of business & that business is good.

These thoughts came to me cause. A + B = US & A + (longtime B) = US (still). I won’t go into details, I’ve honestly only told 1 person the full story. This math project is beyond my intellectual ability. All I can say is It Takes Two.

Well that’s it for now.

Vernon J wants you & ‘your family’ to have a great day!

Bad Research

Good Morning & Happy Friday,

Well the research from last night, was on the wrong data.

Today is Friday 03/08/V3.3 & it is a 06.28 kinda day.

I got to watch my ‘buddies’ Matt & Deanne on KMTV Action 3 News today. I listened to the entire 32 mins, before CBS This Morning came on. I then muted it. Maybe less than 32 mins, cause I was you know, taking a shower. BUT it wasn’t on mute like CBS This Morning & The Daily Buzz.

So today my first meeting is at 09.00,  I am en route to that now. Rolling along here, just using my unlimited data & the tools necessary for hotspot connection.

I then get to go to the work, I’ll hit the mall though & relax a bit there before work. BUT with all due respect, the mall tends to have uncomfortable chairs. Even the Panera, I’m pretty sure Starbucks (on 114th & Dodge) does too. I just don’t feel like coming back home after the meeting. Home; work & meeting are n the other side of 90th St.

What should I do?

The word of the day is scupper which is to prevent from happening or succeding; ruin; wreck. No more scuppering today. Move, Get Out the Way so we can succeed.

Baseball IS BACK IN the Omaha Metro. University of Nebraska Omaha takes on North Dakota State University. (according to their post). I don’t know if it is University of North Dakota or North Dakota State University. My connection isn’t pulling up that page right now. Maybe I’ll go back & edit this once it loads. It is the one that is in the

If you want to Road Trip to Kearney with me tomorrow. That would be great, I can guarantee a good time for 5 to 6 hours. Nothing promised during the middle of our road trip.

Well my 1st Song of the Day was Smile by Shanice. I was thinking of a friend & it is true. I do love her smile.

Well I’m going to call these 334+ words a wrap.

Hope you enjoy reading this post.

I don’t

Good MorningAfternoon & Happy Thursday

I don’t know what got into me this morning.

Today was Thursday 03/07/V3.3 & it is officially over.

I sent my first text message at 07.50 this morning. I can’t figure out why I got up before my alarm went off at 08.28. IF you would like to go ahead and figure this out for me. Your Comments are welcome below,  Spencer I’m looking at you.

So after my unruly awaking moments, I showered & tried to take care of my laundry. As today is Thursday & it is laundry Day. Due to my ‘neighbor’s behavior’ I had no chance to do it at that hour. So I did the responsible thing and took a nap.

LOL, I’m watching today’s Big Bang Theory. It is great. They are presenting science to middle school girls. Leonard is being all awesome!!!

…

I then got up wen to No Frills & went to work. Came home started my laundry & helped a neighbor install his Blu-ray player. He just had it on the wrong HDMI port.

The word of the day is tertiary which is of the third order, rang, stage, formation, etc.; third.

How was your day?

I’m looking forward to tomorrow. 1st meeting at 09.00 & then work at 14.30 I have to go to work. I’m going to try to get out early, cause come Saturday I have to be on the road tomorrow. Heading to The Big K.

Seriously

Good Morning & Happy Wednesday,

Well that title could mean a lot of things.

Today is Wednesday 02/20/V3.3 & it is a quick draw McGraw kinda day.

When I put that title up, I was thinking something. Then I seriously went & got dressed. Left home and got on the bus. I don’t remember the exact reason why.

I think it had something to do with ‘Poppa Woody’, I think it had something to do with Raising Hope. Jimmy thinks Pop-a Woody is the poppa of the forest. He just doesn’t get it.

That’s a song by Sarah Buxton, you should listen to it.

The hashtag of the day is #Shortest. This is the shortest amount of hours I’ll work Mon – Fri. 08.30 to 13.00 & 14.30 to 18.00. It is the shortest day, cause I work 11.45 to 15.00ish on Saturday. I knew I worked a Saturday & since Saturday 02/23/V3.3 is the last one of the month. It had to be this one.

The word of the day is tensile which is capable of being stretched or drawn out.

They offered overtime+ tomorrow at work, so I could make 1.5, 2, or 2.5 times the amount of regular pay. I didn’t sign-up, yet cause I want to make sure that I’ll be able to get out & back without biking.

You would think 56.75 hours would be enough. What’s another III or VI hours. Well $20.25, $30.38, $40.50, $50.63 or $40.50, $60.72, $81.00, $101.26 if you do the math. I did the math.

Well that’s it for now.

Have a GREAT Day!

Catch me on the other side of the door.

Oh, Yeah

Good Morning & Happy Wednesday,

Oh, Yeah. I’ve got both my lunches made.

Today is Wednesday 02/13/V3.3 & it is Valentine’s Day EVE!!!

Well one of my lunches is during the standard 12.00 to 13.00 VST. The other will be dinner somewhere between 18.30 & 20.30. Cause that is how it is suppose to be done.

I get to be at the office(s) 13 hours today. That’s why my hashtag of the day is #13O. Apparently my default trend city is Portland, I don’t know if it is Maine, Oregon, or another city. Which one do you think it is?

This is on pause right now, I need to go brush, make my bed, & get ready to leave for work.

The word of the day is mainour which is a stolen article found on the person of or near the thief.

Good Day for the 1st Shift, reviewed what they went over in a meeting. I missed the meeting cause I was working my other job.

Can you donate blood? Visit http://RedCross.org to schedule an appointment today. I’m currently unable to give.

I’m westbound into work.

I got me some choclate (2 packages) as Valentine’s Day Gift.

I also made an alien at work today.

It may not be the best alien ever, but it is the best one I ever made. You’re welcome.

My Evening Report

Good Evening & Happy Thursday-Eve,

YES today is Wednesday, but if you’re reading The Official Blog of Vernon J. Which you are, then you know that this is my 1st posts of the day.

Today is Wednesday 02/06/V3.3 & it was an ‘I wanna just sleep on this desk at work’

My day started at mere seconds before the alarm went off at 08.28, at least I think it was mere seconds. It could’ve been minutes. That is the benefit of NOT having  a clock in your sleeping area. I approve of that behavior, you should subscribe to it.

The word of the day is feuilleton which is a part of a European newspaper devoted to light literature, fiction, criticism, etc.

Well this is no feuilleton, it is being broadcast live from 41.263518, -95.973273. That’s Latitude and Longitude, it helps people fine their way. In 1884 it was determined by the International Meridian Conference that Greenwich would be the zero-reference line. Dominican Republic voted against this, while France and Brazil abstained. I don’t like people who abstain from a vote. STAND & be counted. btw the leader of Brazil didn’t have a President in 1884, that would explain their abstaining. The President of the Dominican Republic was Francisco Gregorio Billini, and the President of France was Jules Grévy. That’s enough history for now.

My day was more than expected & less then it should’ve been.

I was not at all excited to be at work, I literally wanted to just sleep. Job 1 is boring, and it is boring being there. I NEED MORE!

Had a good time at my connections class this week. Next week is Ash Wednesday & I also become mayor. Winning!!!

I hope you have a good day!!!

Vernon J & I don’t want you to be bald.

Eating for Two

Good Morning & Happy Monday

I’m eating for two (more after the cut)

Today is Monday 01/14/V3.3 & we are just 30 days away from Valentine’s Day.

Did you make your reservations yet? I did.

I love the smell of a piping hot waffle, what did you have for breakfast this morning?

The word of the day is also-ran which is a person who loses a contest, election, or other competition.

I’m looking forward to this week, let’s do a rundown. Work, Work, Double-Work, Work, Work, Mindi’s Birthday Party, Work.

I have to get up and go to the ‘lady with the nurses degree that wants a piece of me’. It will be my 3rd trip to the doctor’s office in as many weeks. They screwed up when they took my B12 sample on Friday. YES this are professionals that I’m dealing with.

Well I’m already up, I just have to you know. Get dressed, brush my teeth, and make like a tree and leave.

Well I best be getting to it.

Part II

So I said I would post after my nap. Since I haven’t taken a nap this is a BONUS ENTRY.

So we went to Wheatfields today. I had the (insert food here), the darn website WheatfieldsCatering.com crashed when I was trying to do this on my netbook. The website doesn’t work when you visit it on your phone by the way.

We then went shopping for a gag gift. We got someone a Justin Bieber toothbrush, apparently Melissa MaryHannah has one of those. We got them some Legg’s & some things that make your shoes sexy. I don’t know what’s going on on that side of the chromosome genes.

I then went to the Omaha Public Library and checked out Glass Heart by Amy Garvey.

I made Reservations at Crave on an ‘undisclosed date’ for us. I don’t know how it will turn out, but from my formal research data it will be better. Mindi didn’t have a date last year on that ‘undisclosed date’ & I didn’t have a date on that ‘undisclosed date’. I went & saw Chronicle last year at this time. I can’t tell you what date it was, cause remember I’m not disclosing the date. If you know anything about me & you are at Vernon-J.com so you can learn more about me RIGHT HERE!

I then went to work at the Benson Community Center, be sure to check out the Discovery Guide bouchure done by Omaha Advertising.

Then I cam home and pretended like I was going to take a nap. I didn’t. We went to California Tacos, where they serve California Tacos. Ask Michelle & she’ll tell you about that conversation.

Went to see Omaha Mavericks Hockey game today. They won the game today 1 to 3, with a population of 6,698 fans. With getting tonight’s win they became the leaders in the WCHA Conference Standings. Good Job Boys. Visit OMavs.com for more info.

Apparently there is a movie called FDR: American Badass!, haven’t seen the movie. BUT if Abraham Lincoln : Vampire Hunter  was good. A movie about the XXXII President of the United States of America can’t be wrong.

Well that is it for now.

Have a GREAT Sunday!!!

 

*edit* at 23.47 on the 5th day of January in the 34th year of Vernon J this post was corrected to reflect who actually has a Justin toothbrush.

All I Wanna Do

Good Morning & Happy Friday,

All I wanna do is: make my bed, shower, eat, breakfast, read the news on the 1st vote in the House of Representatives for the 113th Congress, blog, & DANCE!!!!

Today is Friday 0`1/04/V3.2 & it is my 2nd to last shift of work this week.

I had a great day off yesterday. The doctor game me some Naproxen, my wrist is feeling better today.

After I got home, I had lunch and did laundry. I watched some movies (Happy Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I & II, and Training Day. I watched CBS’s primetime line up. I actually watched Two and a Half Men, it appears they have improved the familyness of that show. I haven’t watched since BEFORE Charlie was an idiot and got himself fired. I finished all but the last page of the January MMXIII Popular Science magazine.

YES I read ALOT!

I went to bed between 02.00 & 02.30 today, I don’t wanna give away all my secrets. I got up between 09.30 & 10.00, my alarm went off at 10.28. That’s how I roll I don’t need no stinking alarm clock, my body know that it is almost #dance time & needs to get started.

Oh that twitter linked you posted less than 57 mins ago isn’t on your main timeline? You must actually use twitter. I do & I appreciate my 957 followers for engaging me in conversation. I have good conversations on that social network medium. In the last XII hours I’ve been mentioned by Matt Kenseth & Academy of Country Music Awards which have a combined total of 207,082 followers. YOU know it is my 2nd or 3rd favorite one. OF course my favorite is Vernon-J.com & associated subdomains.

The word of the day is couthie which is agreeable; genial; kindly.

Where else do I go from here? & CC+ words later I’ve answered that question.
