Nice day today, I can't believe I came home on a Monday and my house was clean. I guess they've decided it's not worth listening to me anymore. Life is pleasant when everyone picks up after themselves. Yay.

Finding stuff to do online, I'm hoping that a good game is going to appear soon. I like NWN's and am still having fun with that but I think I"m going to have to take it online real soon. I don't know if I'm ready or not yet though. It's lke when I play Diablo online, I know enough about it not to let anyone take advantage of whatever level I may be but I'm not sure if NWN's is going to work the same way. I guess there's only one way to find out.

Munin, I recieved my coin in the mail today, Thanks, I love it! Your feedback is already done. One question though, do you know who Cynthia Webb is? She's the one who made it and I was just curious.

Ok I just reread my last post, I think I need a change of scenery for a while, it must be time for vacation. I've always felt that spying isn't a good thing but to totally b*%#& about it I must be really cranky and in need of some serious relaxation. That being said, I can't get any time off until November from work. We are so short handed it's unreal. The supervisors don't like giving us overtime but tomorrow I go in already 3 hours over. Normally, I would just be given the day off and that's that. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to work at the PO. It sucks in the summer and there aren't any benefits for at least 6 years. But damn, the pay is excellent for south Florida and the winters are great. It can be stressful but making minimum wage is worse. And one other thing, it's no longer a civil service job, you still have totake a test but it's mostly memory and making sure that your not dyslexic(sp).

I really do love my job, I just wish they would stop trying to make me hate it. Now the govt. has come up with a plan to have us spy on our customers. At first the postmaster wasn't going to let it happen but someone must have paid him off, he changed his mind. I will not spy on my customers, I will not turn them in just because they look different than me. If I see someone with a gun or bombs, I'm going to call the police but I would do that anyway. The govt. is using the tragedy of 9/11 against us all. Eventually we won't be able to leave our houses without notifying them that we're going and where we're going and for how long we should be gone. The public as a whole probably sees this as a good thing. It's not! We won't have any privacy left even in our homes. There isn't a whole lot left now.

I've been hearing quite a few of those Mlife commercials lately, on TV and the radio. It struck me funny today, for some reason, I decided that the "M" must stand for Monitor, that's what these phones do, they monitor every past of your life. They're being passed off as a convenience, "you'll know when MOM is around the corner" so you can give her a big hug. I'll know when mom is here and that's enough for me. Just wait until every cell phone has GPS in it, then they really can monitor your every move. Personally I can wait.

There is only one time of year that I wish I was still living up north. The summer's in SW Florida are murderously hot. If the humidity doesn't kill you, the heat will. Saturday was the best day though, all you had to do was walk outside and you could smell the ocean. The wind was blowing right off the Gulf and it was cool. Not like it's been today. I'm not a big going in the water kind of person but I love living near it. I wish we could move right down to the beach so I could hear the waves at night. If I can't have that then I want to live on the river. It's almost as good. The best river in this state is the Withlacochee. It's north of Tampa and it has Cypress swamps, black water and of course, gators. The first year I lived down here I lived almost on the river, my cabin was ony 500 ft. from it. I miss that the most. Hearing the gators talk back and forth at night, hearing the frogs. Going on blowboat rides is one of the best too. It's almost like riding a Harley, only you do get a little more wet.

I guess I'm just going to have to win the lottery and buy the old place so I can live there again.

Had a great weekend and now I get Tues. and Wed. off. I love this job sometimes, I'll still get my 40 and have 3 days off. Yay! Just in time too, Everything I own is in need of cleaning, my car is the worst, but of course, it's going to rain all day today so that means it's going to wait until tomorrow. The flooding here is getting worse but at least we're not under water yet. The winter was so dry that we needed at least 20 inches to catch up. We did that by the middle of June and now there's more than enough.

I won the Nascar pool again. I almost wish we paid 1st and 2nd cuz I had Mikey and Rusty this week. They finished 1st and 2nd. Of course there was another big crash, 2 of them really. You can see when they're going to happen, everyone gets bunched up and runs 3 wide. I think that racing that way is great but I hate the crashes. It seems that Nascar wants them to happen so that they can make the fans happy. Most fans that have been around a long time don't watch for the crashes, we watch to see our drivers win or to see good racing at the end.

I can't seem to get enough of NWN's. I'm only playing offline right now but it's fun. It's not hard to see the work they put into this.

I haven't done many online quizzes lately but I liked this one. Thanks Sabby for the link.
Sometimes it would be nice to be a cat. Maybe I should change the name of this Blog from Greywolf to Shadowcat.
