As if I needed another reason to love the genius' of OK Go!

Me: "Hi is John there?"
Guy on the phone: "Hangon a sec."
Sounds of phone being passed.
John: "Hello?"
Me: "Hi John, this is Pete with-"
John: "WHAT? I can't hear you!"
Me (louder): "Hi this is Pete-"
John: "I Still can't hear you!"
Me (very loud): "I'm with your phone company!"
John: "WHAT!?"
Me (outright yelling): "I'm WITH YOUR PHONE COMPANY! I'M CALLING ABOUT-"
John: "I'm giving the phone back to my son."
Sounds of phone being passed, again.
The son (same voice that answered, normal tone): "Hello?"
Me: "Hi. I was just calling to say we'll have a tech out by 2 to get your phone fixed."
The son: "You're coming to take our phone?"
Me (muttering): jesus. "No, a tech will be out to FIX the phone."
The son: "Oh. Well there was a tech here earlier."
Me: "Oh, well he should be working on it then."
The son: "Well it's not working and hasn't been for awhile."
Me (only barely not patronizing): I know that's why we sent the tech out."
The son: "Oh. Well that's good, cause the phone needs to be working."
Me: jesus "Well, that's what the tech will do."
The son: "Okay, sounds good."
Me: "Alright, have a nice day."

Gah! What gets me is that the son had to bloody know the Dad couldn't goddamn hear! Why then did he give him the phone!? And why in god's name would you think someone would come and take your phone!?

I'm sorry, you're both too stupid to have this service, I'm turning it off.

Job #2 fired me 6 weeks ago cause they considered Job #1 a conflict of interest. I didn't tell Job #1 that way I could continue to leave an hour early. Job #1 found out about Job #2 and told me also, to choose. Obviously I put up a good fake front but stated I'd stick with them.

Today is the first day I had to take a lunch and stay the extra hour.

This totally sucks! Womps! Blows! Rots like a festering putrid mass of disease ridden filth! I was done with everything I could do hours ago!

I've also been up since 4am, have clocked 35 miles thus far this week, and for the love of all that is good and holy I am fricken starving! with another hour and a half to go!


@(#)&$@)#$*&@#_$*(@#$!

So I woke up at 4am today and couldn't get back to sleep. Wierd. I suspect it may have been hunger. Though I wasn't terribly hungry I did run 11 miles yesterday and then not eat dinner. The post-run-lack-of-appetite lasted a really long time and then by the time I was hungry it was like 30 min til I wanted to sleep, and I hate going to bed on a full stomach, so I just didn't eat.

Comics and breakfast (egg whites and onions, toasted homemade bread, & bacon) at 5am was pretty interesting though.

Begs the question, if you could be sleepless without ill effect, would you?

Someone stole my effin LUNCH! Right out of the fridge! Who does that!? ANGRY!! That was the last of the chicken pie I made and a celery stick with homemade peanut butter! Goddamnit someone's gonna die!

Hey all, check out these pic's from St. Pat's! Yay Drinking!

Holy crap I'm bored and listless!

Totally don't want to lift today. Completely uninterested in sitting at home tonight.

I need to run an obstacle course, this sounds more fun than anything I can think of. I should start a chain of obstacle course stores/parks. At least it'd be unique!

GAH! BLAST! Boo Urns!

GODDAMNIT!

After a winter of biting cold, unshoveled paths, and wretched winds running outside it's finally spring. And I've gotten my mileage up to where running more than an hour isn't hard. So of course my knee is bugging me. *ANGER!*

Stupid cough! Go away, no one wants you here!

Is there anything less thrilling than trying to find a job online? "Dear Seattle, I like you. You like me, I'm obsessive about coffee, running, and the outdoors. Employ me."

Look, I'm a patient guy. Really. What's it take to meet a woman who can hold a decent conversation, lives within 25 miles, and is a runner (or at least exercises)?

Time required to be at work - 8 hrs. Time it takes to complete all my work and the tech who's out - 1hr. This has ceased to be amusing.

I have the flu. I haven't been sick in 2 1/2 years. This wamps!

I've had a fever for like, the last 36 hrs.

I am so totally jacked up on Acetaminophen, cough suppresant, musinex, zinc, vitamen's C, B, E, and fish oil that my head's just spinning.

Bloody virus! I run all the time and take tons of vitamens, sickness should bounce off me and go home crying for Momma! This must be a ninja ploy to bring me down. Yeah. That's gotta be it. Damn ninja's are trying to weaken me cause they're too afraid to fight me in an unweakened state.
