Real Job

Man I got to work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I do have Sunday off. I do not know about the days after that.. I know I have to go to school on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This does not feel like retirement. Smile
I spent time in dispatch, they call it control, learning how the dispatch center works.. Man..what a pain..all sort of things going on.. people at the door, people wanting keys, people buzzing intercom, telephone calls, radio calls... plus they use codes for things..Plus.. I can not understand.. half of the radio calls..they are in English..but my ears don't pick out what is being said... I am going to have one hell of a time dispatching. Also.. there are a lot of things to remember.. Hell I can not remember my own address or phone number or anything..
Maybe I can get on the midnight shift and that would help out.. Or maybe I can win the lottery.. that sounds like the best bet.
Speaking of bet.. maybe I could be a professional gambler. Maybe go and win 700.00 each day at Keno. Smile.

Maybe there is something I did in the early days of BBS ...that I could now.. demand money for it each time a person does it.. hummm... maybe everyone that uses the Internet would have to pay me $1.00 a year.. That sounds like a winner. Let me see.. I was the first one that I know of.. to have it so.. you did not have to hit enter..you just pushed the key and the menu funcition worked... later people called it "hot" key...humm... maybe I did invent the "blog" and I could collect for that..
Just seems that there should be some way ..for me.. not have to work..well at least..not the sort of job I am working now.

After I learn this job..I am sure..it will not be so bad.. right now... I feel so stupid.
Of course the way they have things setup... make you feel that way...

Well.. I got Sunday off..

Worf is going to come and visit someday. He is in Orlando FL.

We turned on the air conditioning here after I got home from work. Summer maybe here.

Keno at Casino

I found I had $26.00 in my PalPal account today so I got Coke and something to eat.
When Ken got home from work we went to K-Mart and I got note pad for work and some t-shirts.

Ken and I went to the casino and Ken gave me $20.00 and I lost it playing video poker.
Ken lost $20.00 on video poker and then played Keno and won $115.00 at that game. Ken nor I had played Keno before. It looks like it might be fun. The lady across from Ken won $700.00 on Keno.

I talked to "Worf" on the telephone tonight for a long time.

It is almost 1 am and I hate to go to bed. When I wake up it will be the day I have to go to work. As long as I am still up ..then work is "tomorrow."

It was a warm one today. We may need to start running the air conditioning.

This Will be a Long Day

I am out of Coke and out of money. Today is going to be a long long day. I gave what change I had around here to Ken for gas money.
Ken gets paid today but his bank will not cash the check. It has to be deposited for 7 or 8 days. It is a new account and that is their rule. Ken is thinking of paying one of those check cashing places to cash it. They charge a big fee and I hate to see Ken do that.
I do have someone sending a donation, for Howard's Notebook, via the US mail and it may get here today. Mail will get here late today and I will still have to cash the check or money order.

I will have a caffeine headache sometime today from lack of Coke.
I just visited that site and maybe I can find something else around here that has caffeine. We do not have a lot of stuff around here. I need to keep a suppy of something with caffeine.
Well I guess the truth is that I need to cut down as much as I can on caffeine.

Jimmy

Jimmy made it to the doctor and got his medication for the month. He got medication for two months and does not have to see the doctor for two months.

I can see that my new job is going to be calling me all the time to work. I can use the money..but right now I don't have a real uniform that fits and I have things that I need to get taken care of...
I can see this is going to be pain. After I get a uniform and commission and also after I get so I know the things that need to be done.. It will not be so bad. But last night I worked over two hours and they had to give me a map with five doors that needed to be locked. I guess I am lucky I did not get the other end of the building there are 15 doors that needed to be locked. This is going to be a pain until I learn everything. My fear is that any information pushed into my head is going to push other information out the other side. Any more information and I will not remember my address and name.

It was warm today. We still have not turned on air conditioning here. I hope the AC unit works. We should test it out before the weekend. I am sure..if it was not working ...I bet we could not get it fixed on the weekend.

Alexa Stats for TypePad.Com

It seems that all of you hate Alexa and regard it 100% as useless SpyWare. As you know I disagree with you. Above are the stats for www.typepad.com.
That is just one of the type of services that you can get from Alexa. No need to start the debate again on is Alexa spyware or not. I think all of you spoke 100% saying that you regard it as spyware. I do not think it is spyware. You know just what you are getting. You know it keeps track of hits on sites and uses that data and provides you with information.
I get x number of hits each day about Alexa. The people get to my site by using Google or some search site and you can see they want to find out about Alexa. From the way the search is made ...I think it is clear that they are trying to protect themself from "spyware."

Not the most popular sites

Above you can see that ShowMeBlog, Howard's Notebook and the rest of my sites are not the most popular sites to visit. I have never attempted to be real popular but it might be nice one time.

Anything any of you can do to promote our site is welcome. You could write a review of your site, vote for us, recommend us or maybe you know of someplace we should be listed. Any help would be welcome.

My Yahoo

I am not sure how many of you use Yahoo. Those of us that have been around for awhile will remember them taking over excellent services that we had used. I hate to admit it but Yahoo is an excellent service and you can get a great deal for free or pay a small amount and get more.
Well anyway..if you use My Yahoo this is for you. You can add ShowMeBlog to your My Yahoo page. Here is how you do it:

1. Go to where you add stuff to your My Yahoo page.
2. Go down to where it says Web and Internet
3. Put a check mark in RSS Headlines Beta
4. Put in "http://hnb.typepad.com"

Save or whatever you have to do and from now on when your at your My Yahoo page you will see the headlines for ShowMeBlog. Pretty neat.

Worked 10 hours

I worked 2 extra hours. I got off at midnight. I had the uniform on today.
I called about the 24 hours of training and and because of easter weekend lot of places did not have it. That was good for me because I don't have the money. So I am going to try and get setup for the weekend of 16, 17 and 18th and try and come up with the money for the school and for the state.
I have Thur., Friday and Sunday of this week off work. So my next day to work will be on Saturday.

I have not heard from Jimmy. I hope he made it to the doctor OK and I hope he got a free sample of medication. I do not have $275.00 for medication for him and he only had three pills left. He has to have his medication.
Ken was sleeping when I got home. So the last time I saw Ken was about 8 am and will see him at 7 am.

No Contract Employment

When Ken got his job down here in Miami he came home and told me that they said that there is no contract with the employee and that the employee can quit at any time and does not have to give notice. And now for the "but", of course, since there is no contract and the employee can quit without notice..the company can let you go (fire you) for no reason and without any noitice. I said that is odd and strange. Remember I am 63 years old and have had a few jobs over the years.
Well I just got a job myself and I had to sign a paper saying the very same thing...no contract..they can fire you and do not need a reason and you can quit at anytime.

First Night

I went to bed about 12:30 am and I did not wake up until 4:15 am. That is a pretty long time for me to sleep. I was having dreams. I know we all have them and have to have them...but why can't I have a nice sex dream or something. I dream about working or about some sort of problem that has to be taken care of.. Maybe I should think about sex before I go to sleep.
I get a ton of junk/spam eMail each day. They want to sell me medications from out side the United States. I get a lot wanting to sell me stuff to make my cock bigger. I wonder how they know I need it. I sure hope I am not the only one getting those sort of eMails.
Someone needs to come out with pills.. a pill that you take.. maybe a pink one and dream of sex. You take a red pill and you dream of war or fighting or something. Each color and you pick the subject. I suspect they would only sell one color.

Today is the day Jimmy goes to see his doctor. He said he was going to leave 2 hours and 30 minutes before the appointment to make sure he gets there on time.
