So don't expect it every day. Maybe every other day. It's freakin' ridiculous trying to keep up with my main weblog alone. Sometimes I forget that I have this blog.
I hope the lot of you are desperate to peek into my personal lifestyle, because I need you in order to keep this weblog alive.
I'd like to extend a special welcome from all of my readers outside of the United States. I love you all. Especially all of the drunks in Ireland! Heeeeeyyyyyyy guys!!! And for all the blokes down in Australia, GOOD ON YOU!!!
Hey, if you're from a country other than the United States, SAY HI!!! I'd love to see your comments. Hey, you don't even have to say much, just enter the country you're from. I'll love you just the same.

Call Boy
Less than hour after arriving home tonight, I received my first after-hours order for the weekend. (I am on call for work obviously.) Dayna and I just moved into a new apartment a couple weeks ago, which is in a complex directly behind my office. So now I'm here at the office, taking care of business.
I like living close to the office. I've been riding my bike to and from every day, and I am able to come home for lunch and relax. An hour really is a good amount of time when you're not spending the time driving. It takes less than five minutes for me to make it home on my bike. It's about the same when I drive too. It's nice.
Our apartment has not yet been complete to the extent of furnishing and decorating, but we're nearly there. Our remaining elemental needs are for furniture pieces like a sofa, TV stand, dining room table, etc.
Favorably, we already have some of those things available to us for free. The challenge is finding the means with which to relocate them to our apartment. We don't have a truck available, and I do not want to spend money hiring a truck, especially after the truck we hired for the initial move.
Uhaul rented me a truck that already had a 202,000-mile journey behind it. It was hands-down the oldest and most dilapidated vehicle I have ever driven.

Good Morning!
This morning was a usual groggy one. My semi-conscience mind is so used to pressing the snooze button that I don't even realize that I have. I try to wake up at 7:30am, but it works out to be closer to 8:30 or 9:00am. That's not good because I am supposed to be at work at 9:00am; therefore, I am late most of the time. Isn't everybody?
I got an email from AJ that the comments function on my According to JAO blog is not working. I tried to leave a comment myself, and found that when I left the comment, it never shows up on the main page. This sucks because I have to cross reference other templates with that one so that I can find where the problem lies. This will take time.
Wade just told me that Robert will be coming back to Houston for a few days in a couple of weeks. This means I need to get on the ball about organizing the warehouse. As well as try to put something together as far as my report on export documentation and shipping. This is important for me because this will help determine how fast I will be promoted, and my salary raised.
Good news about income though: Wade said yesterday (after a long discussion between him, Robert, Erik, and Tracey) that an increase in our pay for on-call weeks will probably be increasing soon. Perhaps up to $200, up from the $100 we receive now. This doesn't include our bonuses per package. Nice! I need that money.
