I Like the Putty. Honest!

Life is good. Sorta, well, maybe not. It is, but has a few glitches in it at the moment. So I guess life is alright.

Anywho, situation at work sucks ass. Hairy ass. An ass with hair that falls out easily. So the sucking of ass leaves you with a mouth full of hair. Or something like that I guess. Work just isnâ€™t good right now. My main office that I work out of can't seem to get a project to save their life right now. Really don't get what the fuck is going on. Other than management is obviously fucking up really bad. They were spending all kinds of time and effort on bidding on one project. They all thought they were going to get it, and then we get a call back saying that we are $900,000.00 too high. Our bid was damn near a million dollars higher than some other contractor. How the fuck does that happen? They're hoping that its because the other bidding contractors are all fucked up and missed something serious on the prints or something. I guess they told the lower contractor to rethink their low price because it seems really odd that we are practically a million dollars more than they are. My company's services aren't the cheapest, but a frigen million bucks?

Anyway, while they try like hell to get some work, I'm sitting on my ass everyday at the main office wishing we had some work so I could be on a project actually building something. They had a pow-wow with me and another guy, talking about how they aren't going to lay us off. They are prepared to pay us to explore our butt holes while sitting on our thumbs for a few months if the need be. They hope to get some work, but they know they can't let us go, just incase they do land some work and need some bodies to run the frigen projects. Wow, amazing logic. Still scares the shit out of me. So I'm looking around for work with some other companies. Might just have to quit. Hate to ride it out for the rest of the year, thumbs fully swollen from being in my ass doing nothing everyday, and I have to go apply for work at some other company and try to explain why they should hire me, even though I haven't done a fucking thing in the last year. Not an easy thing to do. To avoid that, I feel looking for work and moving on is the best answer. Too young to put my career on a standstill. We'll see what happens. I think my boss has an idea that I'm looking around and might be leaving. Just the way he was asking me questions the other day and trying to get me to open up. He'd be an idiot if he didn't think I was looking for work.

Enough about that shit though.

Forums are going back and forth with popularity. Getting lots of new members every week. I need to figure out how I can tell how many actual members are logging in everyday and actually reading the forums. I know its a small group that's posting, but I think there are a lot of looky-loo's that don't have the balls or desire to jump in on the fun. I know I was never really into forums until I built one for MTW. Forums tend to be boring on most sites. But I got lucky and have a good group of people in my forums. Even if they are getting bored and starting to turn on me now that there aren't any brave yet stupid newbies opening their mouths and trying to verbally bash us all. Usually everyone can aim their attacks at the newbies, but lately its been a "Bash the Morty" fest. Which is cool. Makes me laugh. If its funny its funny. No matter how cold or rude. I can laugh luckily. Especially with all the comments people making about me being gay.

Oh man, its been flying around. Funny shit. Every time I think I can shut them up about it, they come back with something and just nail me on it. But that's what really makes it fun I guess. Just firing back and forth at each other. Seeing who can knock who on their ass and leave them speechless, yet not hurt anyone's feelings. So bring it on bitches! Strange though how all my various comments before used to be considered sick and twisted, and lately people look at them as being gay. Whatever. I like pussy people. Not the dick. Dick is for chicks, not for me.

Went on a GeoCache today with a good friend. Expected it to be kinda tough, but didn't expect the hardest part of it to be the first quarter mile from stepping out of my truck. Usually the hikes start off level or a slight hill, but this one was steep from the first step out of my truck. Especially today being so hot. I know its cold where most of you are right now, but its fricken hot here in sunny California today. I think it was about 90 on the hill we hiked. And there wasn't any breezes at all. Just the sun on us the whole time. Wasn't any shade on the trail until the last bit of it. And of course being sweaty pigs from climbing the whole time in direct sun, when we hit the cool shady area near the GeoCache, the fucking flies had the time of their 48 hour lives landing on our sweaty faces and damn near blinding us while we tried not to fall off the trail. Found the GeoCache. Was a little tube hidden up inside the root ball of a tree on the side of the hill that the rain has eroded the dirt away from a bit.

Overall, the hike was good. I needed to get out and do something like that. Been starting to work out again lately at home, but its nice to get outside and really get the heart pumping sometimes. Even if there are annoying flies. Oh ya, saw a big ass snake on the trail. Wasn't a rattle snake, but it looked like one. I forget what that type of snake is called. Looks just like a rattle snake, but doesn't have the rattle and luckily isn't poisonous. Not that it attempted to bite me or nothing, just lucky it wasn't a rattler or I'd have probably had a different experience with it.

Been noticing how many people have dogs lately and taking them for walks around the neighborhood. Just trips me out how dogs feel the need to mark every tree they come by. I know its instinct to mark their territory, but you'd think that would of worked its way out of domesticated dogs over the years. Wild dogs, sure, but the average dog has no need. And how the hell can they piss so much. Its like going on a road trip with a woman. Needing to stop every 5 minutes to take a piss. Right when you start going and making some time, you got to pull over for a piss stop. Not sure why that came into my head just now, but it did. Sorry for wasting your reading skills on such garbage.
