    I don't get to see fireworks this year, and that makes me sad. I mean, holiday pay for working, which is nice...but I'd rather be swimming and grilling out and playing with sparklers and watching fireworks. If I didn't need the money, I'd be calling out.

    Teeny apartment in the sky.
    New time zone, no curtains, everyone up at 4:30am.
    Off to Whole Foods, PetSmart, and Target this morning. Unpack this afternoon. Firepit and wine this evening. Tacos at some point.

    I've been told I have a lovely phone voice, which is awesome. What is not awesome, is that my brain shuts down when I have to leave a voice mail, and I sound so weird and awkward.

    Mine shuts down when I'm all set to leave a message, and then a live human picks up the phone.:p I get completely tongue-tied.

    Completely opposite for me, I'm like @CinnamonGirl . I consider myself fairly well spoken and have an easy time holding conversation when I'd like to. But I almost always run through my head what my message will be exactly before calling someone I think I might not get. Otherwise I sound like a buffoon.

    I had my phone followup from my job interview last week. I think it went alright. I need to speak to the area manager next, but he won't be back from vacation until the 18th. Going crazy at my job, I need to get out.

    I could have been a pornstar...
    A long time ago, I had the access...I knew insiders, agents, management and stars...and I had the "talent and ability".

    But after a month stint working an adult store with toys and a peepshow in back...and dating 2 strippers at various points,
    I found there is a darker side to humanity that I didn't want to be around. (not that porn is dark or objectionable, IMHO it's not, it's just that some around it are "dark"...they go too far, some really use others, etc)
    I did not want to go down that rabbit hole.
    I chose not to. So my path diverged from that potential.
    But I still think, "what if?"

    I certainly still have the libido for it.
    But I respect people too much and prefer some discretion...and I want something more than just pure lust.
    Call me a romantic...

    Life is strange. Can't write this shit.

  17. I was clicking random threads and came across posts from Uncle Phil and Speed Gibson. :(

    And The Jazz... More sad about the first two though.

    I'm sitting at a bar and there happens to be a beer distributor sales meeting going on 10' from me. The special guest is Keith Villa, the founder of Blue Moon. I texted a buddy about it. He suggested I order a Miller Lite and have it sent over to him. :p

    My apologies, no more hate on Keith Villa. I met him, shook his hand, and he seems like a pretty gracious guy.

    The bar was pretty empty when their meeting started. There were 2-3 of us within the general area, and shortly after they got into it the bartender (who I know, since this is a place I stop frequently) said that the Blue Moon group wanted to pay my tab for horning in on my space. Can't argue with that kind of hospitality, so a bunch of (non-Blue Moon) rounds later, I am in a positive mood towards them. :p

    People at work are getting in trouble for playing Pokemon Go. The forklift driver had his phone in one hand while driving with the other and to top it off he only has one leg. The plant manager made it clear he was fuming about the whole thing. My Son came over and we downloaded the app on my phone. I've caught 8 out of 150. Not while I'm getting paid.
