A quick hello.
Ah, my fellow tumblrs. Hello! I hope everyone has had a very Merry Christmas. I, for one, am excited to finally be having a “down” day today. I’ll sit around, eat some leftovers, drink some beers and watch some football. The added bonus for today is that my sister and her husband are getting a new dog today. Yay! I can teach it some bad tendencies before I make my trip into my...

Earshot - Goodbye
I hate goodbyes.
Awe tumblr, don’t you worry. You will be sadly missed during my holiday travels. I’m not sure how much I’ll be able to check-in. There may be a few times here and there…but, I don’t see too many opportunities from now until I return. With that said, to my followers: I should still be alive and kicking. I’m just going to be MIA for a little while. Best wishes to...
Done.
Packing is just about all accounted for. I have packed far more than I need. It seems to be a problem of mine as of late. Not sure how long I am going to be gone though…so, just trying to be prepared. Amazingly enough, my mad packing skills have managed to get everything into one suitcase if you can believe it. (Too bad I still am taking three freaking coats with me. Argh.)
Yes, leaving 57°...

One regret.
As happy as I am that I will soon be off to spend time with family (and hopefully some friends) during the holiday season - I’m still a little bummed that I will not get a chance to see this guy.
Unfortunately, our schedules aren’t lining up for when we will be in our home town. So, on the record, for thisistheglamorous: I hope you have a Merry Christmas my friend. It’s a shame...
The time is here. The time is now.
It is about freaking time: vacation. I am finally on a vacation for the holidays and the time away couldn’t come soon enough. I lost my cool on Monday. I worked until after 8:00pm on Monday night. I got to scramble around all day Tuesday making sure everything was taken care of as much as humanly possible before my time away from the office. Only time will tell how long it takes before I...

It ended with SNL.
As I type this, my neighbor is listening to club music getting ready for whatever. (I swear, she is on the go all the time.) I wish I had that kind of motivation or that kind of life. Any semblance I had of that ended with the summer. I must be slowly entering my hibernation state…as this post eludes to. Finally, all my long, work-filled days and insomnia-laden nights led to me crashing Saturday...

LOL
So, I survived the holiday Christmas party. Some drinking, a lot of food and good fun. I know for a fact I was the lowest salaried position there as I was among a bunch of doctors. I know this because, as I was in one conversation, a woman came up to us and the first words out of her mouth were, “So, are you doctors?” Priceless.
Add to that I almost didn’t make it to the party...

Day off...success.
My day off today was a success. I’ve just been trying to tie up a lot of loose ends before the holidays. I can’t that say my bank account is going to thank me for the amount of bills being posted all at once…but hey, who needs money to survive this crazy thing called life - right? There has been so much I have had to put off having worked so much lately. Spending days and nights...

Damn.
Wow tumblrs…this guy is exhausted. Worked again until about 7:30pm tonight. The hits just keep on coming. But, a bit of silver lining to the dark cloud of my life: I have a day off tomorrow. Yay! I also have a Christmas party to go to tomorrow night. Food and drinks. Hell yeah! (I need it.)
Only two work days remaining in 2010. Thank god. I just have to work Monday and Tuesday of next week...

Done and done.
Finally managed to catch up on Survivor and the Ultimate Fighter (season finale). Now I can go to Hooters tonight prepared and ready for the GSP vs. Koscheck fight. (That’s right, I said Hooters. The sad thing is, I think my friend’s pregnant wife set this thing up. Is that weird?)
Note to self: Don’t ask questions. Just go!
Christmas cards.
Once upon a time, I used to pride myself on creating my own Christmas cards. As a graphic designer…you always feel you can do something better, original or more to your own personal tastes than anyone else can interpret for you. But, these days, busy times and lack of motivation lead to “selling out” and heading to a Hallmark store. I could not get over how much I spent in...

Coffee and Double Bubble.
Honestly people, if any of my followers out there have been wondering what I have been surviving on for the last two and a half weeks during my nonstop work schedule, this is it: coffee and Double Bubble bubble gum. For the record:
It is 3:10pm and I am still drinking coffee.
I am averaging about 6-10 pieces of Double Bubble a day.
In the last two and a half weeks, I have had lunch twice....

A dusting of snow.
December 4, 2010 - Write that down. This is officially the first day everyone in North Carolina heads to the grocery stores in a panic and buys water, bread and milk to survive the elements. It amazes me still…even after almost 10 years here. Also, I think by about 6:00pm everything will be shut down. That is usually par for the course too.

It ended with Thai, crack beer and 4 strikes.
It finally happened. I finally lost my cool a little bit on Friday. As I have eluded to in a few of my previous posts, I have been working like crazy as of late.
Backtrack to Thursday night, I received some messages from friends trying to orchestrate a night out: Some drinks, dinner and bowling. Gladly I accepted the invitation and reiterated that I might be running a bit late (even on a Friday...

Addendum.
Ha ha. I forgot about this. After I posted this I ended up in a conversation with my boss and said, “If the client screws with the entire layout of that project I just completed I will punch something. I mean it.”
My boss thinks I am crazy. But, with the workload I have been managing…well, the boss understands. I think. [wink]

I will punch something today.
Work…work…work…work…work…
