OK, so this may not be a burning question for the ages, but it is bothering me. I was watching the MTV series "Newlyweds" this weekend (I didn't feel well, and looking at Nick Lachey is never a bad thing! 
) and I decided to put up a new poll based on my thoughts while I was watching. If you've never seen the show, it's coverage of singers Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey following their marriage. They go through all the usual newlywed issues except they live in a fabulous house and have scads of money, which must make it a bit easier!
1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me,
for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much
leave me the hell alone.
2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a
tire leak.
3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your
neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
4. Sex is like air. It's not important unless you aren't getting any.
5. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be
promoted.
6. No one is listening until you fart.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7. Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.
8. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
9. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of
car payments.
10. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you criticize them you're a mile away and you have their
shoes.
11. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish,
and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
13. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was
probably worth it.
14. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
15. Some days you are the bug; some days you are the windshield.
16. Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time.
17. Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes
from bad judgment.
18. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put
it back in your pocket.
The opportunity has passed me by
Now it's too late
To say what I've been thinking
So after the world's longest day...I've noticed lately that I get 10x more work done after everyone goes home - after the phone stops ringing, and the emails stop, and I can stop helping other people and do MY work - but I'm starting to recognize some of the people in the crew that cleans the building. Just to clarify, it's not that I don't want to help other people, but after you've answered 3 phone calls and sent three emails explaining the same thing in excrutiating detail (if I never hear the phrase, "But can I get that in a pdf?" again, it will still be too soon) there comes a point where it just gets to be too much. There was a time in the not too distant past where I would have ranted and raved and really lost my temper (OK, so the other day I did ask one of our planners why a particular manufacturer couldn't seem to find his ass with both hands and a flashlight...but I apologized...and it's TRUE!) now I just have this sad little laugh...a sick chuckle, really...filled with wonderment that the world is just chock full of people that need things pointed out to them (with both hands, a flashlight, a flip chart and a neon freaking arrow!)
This is making me tired. 
I've been trying to find the time to post, but have been swamped at work and then by the time I get home it's all I can do to say hi to my son, do some dinner..okay I'll admit it, play a little Vice City, too! But haven't found a free moment to post!
One thing of note, my local paper did coverage of the 49ers for the upcoming season...FOOTBALL, that is, and I have to say to any other fans out there that the kicking game will still be a problem!
So I'm sooo proud of myself for slowly but surely getting the hang of having simple links (hsx) as opposed to the more cumbersome www.hsx.com format, that I just might go back through and update all my old posts! 
This has absolutely been the week from Hades...the last two days have been so long and tedious that I'm amazed that it's truly only Wednesday. I mentioned in an earlier post that I was filling in for a lady that walked out. And that's going well, but yesterday, it felt like someone had dropped me in the middle of the desert and told me to find my own way out. Anyone that's ever filled in for a coworker knows how hard it is to decipher notes, find papers, sort through emails you need, find correct contact info...ACK! I spent almost two hours yesterday on whether a 30 cent part actually went on a board. Granted, the final order is worth a lot, but if I never hear about that part again, I'll be happy!
Lance Armstrong has set up a cancer foundation at laf. You can support the foundation in many ways, but one of the easiest is to purchase one of the bright yellow "LiveStrong" bracelets pictured. All proceeds from the bracelet sales go the foundation.
So the softball game was great...we played well, although we still lost by two runs...the bad thing is that I really got a workout for my legs and now am walking around like Imhotep...It's not good. Today is actually better. Yesterday, I could barely get up, and forget about sitting and standing...it was one or the other!
So we're playing our first company softball game of the season tonight...it should be a lot of fun...it's great to get out and run around a little bit and then go out for beers! That would be the highlight for me, on days like this...I'm filling in for a woman that left, with minimal notice (like 5 minutes). She's actually a friend of mine, and I don't blame her for leaving, but it's been tough doing both jobs...Thankfully it's only until they hire someone to replace her, I've already said I don't want the job!
