Kind of a funeral of sorts. Nothing major. The day has finally come. I knew it was going to come because no relationship can be so good for so long. I feel like the honeymoon is over and a tad of that invincible magic is gone.

NO we did not have a fight. Just the interactions after a long day of work for her and some annoying, selfish kids. I was candid to the point it hurt her feelings and I couldn't apologize. She responded with "Yes Dear" and that was the verbal equivalent to a period at the end of a really bad sentence. I sat at the edge of the bed, mesmerized by my inability to react or decide a next action or say something funny to ease the tension.

There are other things. I contemplated stopping at a bar for a st patties day beverage just to delay my return to the apartment. I could tell by two telephone conversations, brief as they were, that I wasn't coming home to a happy environment.

We snuck to the bedroom to cuddle. We weren't on the same page. I want passion. I want hands all over me and lips too for that matter. She wants to forget her terrible day. We snuggled but selfish me was left wanting more. I don't want to screw... I just want to be the center of her world.

With all that said, I am still the luckiest man on earth and deeply in love.

Anyways,
Good Travels.

Happy Kiss an Irish Day

My grandparents were immigrants from Dublin, Ireland so I expect plenty of kisses today. Maybe a few on my blarney stone.

Another day with no IT presence on-site.... hmmm wonder how many "hey-you's" I will encounter. My mouse doesn't work. My laptop won't turn on. I COULD NEVER WORK ON A HELPDESK. How lucky am I that I didnt' take that job at Aegis Mortgage. That was a Helpdesk position with absolutely zero human interaction.

I am making the most of my cube. It is almost bearable save for the afternoon when the production dudes come up off the floor and start debating tithing and if Jesus pays interest. It is hard to program or focus on anything with them yelling to be heard over each other. My headphones are useless at this point.

BREAKING NEWS: My ex-wife is a bonafide swinger. She was so excited to tell me. Why you ask was I talking to her in the first place, the IRS thing remember? I will have to keep you posted on the developments as she slips further into debauchery and finds cryptic ways of informing me. Oh as a side bar, she was a frigid bitch that went months without sex while we were married.

The big parade is tomorrow and I am happy as hell. This is my favorite one all parade season and rightly so as it rivals even Spanish town as the best parade in Baton Rouge. (Mardi gras parade + green beads + green beer = St Pat's Parade in Baton Rouge.)

anyways,
Good Travels!

(What is the use of having a company wide email and voice mail system when everyone ignores them?)

IRS Day

No and I am not talking about the fact that I haven't done my taxes quite yet. I think I am still hung up on the $44.00 I owe the federal government. A certain co-worker will tell you that I get a butt load of services back in return for a ungodly slice of my salary but I believe she will argue a point just to argue.

IRS would indicate the man who came to my trailer that I lived at four years ago looking to make a claim. OK. Umm. Alright. Every bit of this sounds fishy. My ex-wife left a message on my work phone to that extent although she seemed to miss the fact that is smelt like tuna. I mean if by some rare rare chance that this is truely the IRS, I am really not worried. I don't make enough to have them take back and I don't itemize. I have the last two or so years on the H and R block server and the rest might have hit the trash with the divorce.

Date night last night. Went to Ruth's Chris. It was a great time. The gf and I matched in brown, her halter was low cut and let the girls shine like old man eye magnets. One more restaurant marked off the list. Now I think it is time for Flemings down by Whole Foods.

Today I worked on and generated a Global Environment Policy for my company, I am quite proud of the bee charming bull shit that I slopped into two pages. We are a terribly efficient and clean company to start with because of federal regulations that govern us so this is all icing and aimed straight at the top. I think some tangible things will come out of this, like some enviro organizations getting a little money for their charity work so all is not lost in bureaucracy.

Anyways,
Good Travels
