New Years 2009
Happy early New Years everyone. Come midnight I plan to be in the middle of a NyQuil-fueled haze in an attempt to kill of this plague that has been troubling me for the last ten days. At least get to spend it with Jeanine—although I do feel sorry for her.
FACT:
There are no less than 4 devices in my kitchen that contain a clock. Keeping them in sync is such a bitch.
Unexpected Bonus
While closing out the books for 2008 I noticed that I was underpaying myself (whoops!). What must have happened is that when transferred all of the Quickbooks data over to the new computer in April it reverted back to my old salary. To rectify the situation I was able to give myself an end-of-year bonus for the difference.
After taxes I am left with about $3,100 to spend however I want. The...

Damn Y people
Half a block west of the end of my street is the local YMCA. Twice now I’ve come extremely close to being sideswiped by a car crossing into my street’s left-turn lane as they use it to turn left into the facility. More times than not I also watch a car turn into that same driveway after riding my ass all the way up my street.
It’s always the YMCA patrons who drive the worst...
Coinkydink?
Yesterday we received a resignation letter from the woman who has managed one of our properties for over 25 years. Today we received a call from a realty company with an unsolicited offer to purchase said property.
Pretty fucking weird, if you ask me.

And yet this same world-class facility couldn’t have transplanted a new colon into my body instead of ripping mine out? I call shenanigans on this one.
Accident
Last night I had my first *major* blow-out with my ostomy appliance. Bad things happened, my clothes got messy, and I had to cut my night short. But now that it’s over, I no longer have any fears to worry about while out in public.

B-Dubs
The Buffalo Wild Wings closest to my house is now going by the name “Rocky’s.” When I called up last night and attempted to place a pick-up order on my way back into town, I had to apologize to the girl on the phone for calling the wrong number. I surfed on over to the BW3 website after getting home and saw no entry for Rocky River appear during my locations search.
No more...
Best prank on The Office?
Carrie mentioned the prank on last night’s episode rivaling that of Dwight’s cell phone being in the ceiling. My favorite Jim prank is a toss-up between these two:

Whoops
As acting “commissioner” of a group of season tickets for the Cleveland Indians, it’s my job to oversee all aspects of: filling vacancies, collecting payments, planning and moderating the ticket draft, dealing with game-swaps, and (when necessary) organizing playoff tickets. With 11 people in the group this adds up to a lot of paperwork. I decided to put all of the information...
Blog Confession #2
Some days I miss my old bellybutton—the one I grew up with and had until 3 months ago. Don’t take yours for granted; it’s a part of your identity and you never know what might happen to it.

Blog Confession #1
Even in the world of MP3’s where I have 2,438 songs available at the click of a mouse, I am known to skip through 25+ songs to find the one I am looking for (without really knowing what I am looking for until I hear it).
