This morning there at the bottom of my mug laid a dead insect. It was green all over, narrow – not quite ovoid and small – about the size of my pinky nail. I threw it out in the tall, beige-colored garbage bin of the mini-lunch room.
During my late mid-morning break, I walked around to see a dying worm on the sidewalk. I thought for a moment and should have put it back in its soil. But I didn’t because the camera was right behind me.
In one hour, I’m friggin’ bored again! From the moment I logged into the computer to finishing up the scheduling of new orders, I got my coffee, checked my emails and blogged! OMG! What am I going to do next? Am I just going to sit here and rant some more? Nah. Actually, there’s lots of “work” to be done – like pegging, boosting, fantasizing about the handsome GREEK guy and reporting any weird stuff and thoughts that may happen to enter my small mind.
OMG! The skies are crispy and blue. It’s good weather for holding hands with my fantasy guy, wherever he may be – in my dreams, of course. Again, I love fairy tales, romances and beauty in nature. I don’t like it when reality is “too good to be true“. I love red roses and blue violets, too. Hahaha! I rhymed here!
It’s no wonder things seems to be calm today: I remembered to power up Steevo’s Desktop SP and didn’t get enough sleep from switching and tweaking my weblog late last night. I forgot yesterday and last week. I really should buy Shrimpsei’s Nano Otter Box. It may be lightweight. Plus it has a iPod thingy for downloading MP3 frequency 528.
If only justice is served NOW, then I’d love to buy more orgone stuff.
Since most of the WordPress.com themes do NOT have templates for “Archives” and “Links”, my small mind came up with a solution this morning. I merely put a message at the end of the Links page:

I don’t know. Some things just take a LONG time to sink in and make sense! Sheesh!
Yesterday, I took a snapshot of Paw’s odometer for his Mazda Protogé. It read 33,133. He wanted me to take a snapshot when the odometer read all three’s: 33,333.
Today, I finally bought my scar gel and three makeup products near the $1.00 range. The total amount came to $33.04. Two are brown colored lipstick – one regular lipstick and the other pencil. I wanted to achieve my old gangster look but with subtly.
The black eye liner will help bring out my VERY SMALL eyes from behind my eyeglasses. The heavy eyeliner look should spook these smiling people: I really want to punch their faces with my gangster look.
And as a surprise, I bought my self a DRUMSTICK ice cream. I believe it was fudge flavored, vanilla ice cream with peanuts. Yummy. I opened it and ate while driving with one hand. My coordination while doing two things at one time is VERY compromised. I was barely able to concentrate.
Then I greeted Maw who was exhausted from cleaning the poop off the tray of the parakeets and I offered her my 5/6 remainder of my sugar cone delight. She ate it all!
At around 5:30pm, the weary-looking Theresa gave me two brightly, orange-colored tangerine. She said they were tangy. But I forwarded those to Maw and Paw for eating after dinner tonight.
When I arrived home, I saw two, plastic head bands to hold my short hair! One is black velvet with some Rhine stones glued on it and the other is a matrix of silver and bronze colored dots. They got while buying $9.99 bundle deal of chicken at “Chow King” and one California roll at “Tokyo, Tokyo”.
What can I say? Bless you all! I’ll have to learn to share some food.
At the age of 32, I gave everything I had ever owed – mainly money. Fast forward ten years, I do not foresee “hording” the same money that may never materialize because it was “too good to be true”. And although I’ve asked for it in return many times in the past and at this point in time, I’ve come to realize that I don’t really want it but would rather prefer to have the “blessing” filter back to its rightful owners – somehow, someway.
Tonight, Maw recanted many stories from her childhood. Her Paw “Juan” and her eldest brother “Arsenio” were well known in the small town as having helped many people from far and wide (and from the mountains, too) without repayment – from building water lines and houses for relatives to cross-training relatives and strangers alike on how to build, calculate and engineer and their making a business of selling self-threaded pipes for water projects.
I see now that I must start over, go forward and without looking back – to forgive and to forget. To Pete and TPTB, it’s okay. I’ve made my peace. You are free to enjoy and spend whatever you’ve managed to raise for whatever reasons. I’ll just continue as my ancestors once did – say, speak and hear no evil. We don’t complain. We don’t fight in public. It’s all about being there for each other in times of need. I only regret refusing to help a couple of times because I got laid-off from C!sc*. I know that is the truth. And as quoted for a Biblical passage:
Matthew 19 (King James Version)
21Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
Of course, I’m not perfect (as my blog does descriptively portrays). The treasures were already within – my FRUSTRATED soul. I just didn’t acknowledge that existence and what was lacking in me was never diminished by outwardly giving but by today’s brightly shining sunshine. The afternoon was breath-taking as I spoke with the Securitas guard who asked me many times today: “How [was] I doing”? Bless him and everyone else for the kind greetings. I’ll have to learn to smile and greet more often in return.

If justice would ever be served, I would like to visit GREECE! That’s right! During a stop-over at Greece long time ago in the Navy, Paw actually set foot on the Acropolis! That’s right! He bought a ‘messenger bag’ which is turquoise in color and sports the interwoven design of that architectural wonder. The fabric is rough to the touch. It shrank about 50% from the washer and dryer!
So thanks for the suggestion as one of the sacred sites to visit!

So at around 3:06pm, this WAY older, white guy, who is balding and is married (because of his ring), walks by and pat his left buttock. He has been getting up and out of his cubicle MORE frequently to retrieve his print-outs from the printer nearby our desks. Trust me on this one folks. I can pick up on vibrations but subtly for now. Plus, I could be wrong. There’s nothing like being HUMBLE than making an assumption based on whatever may be something else because I cannot read people’s minds. Alright? So there!
OMG! This has got to be a joke! So at around 2:30pm, I got pissed again. It’s so boring! I had to go to the bathroom anyway. When I finished, I saw a familiar face:
“Howdy!”
~Mike
We chatted about how nice the weather was and how I missed walking with him on this fine and beautiful day. And well, he suggested we walk together tomorrow! Am I an idiot? I was stumbling over my words again when caught off guard!
Anyway, I usually take my lunch at around 12:30pm because I’m hungry and a one hour lunch starting at 1:00pm may be too late. I saw Theresa had just started her walk around 1:15pm, just when I finished mine.
So there you have it! There were two people I could have walked with on this VERY windy day. My hair was mis-behaving today anyway and the messiness sure could have be tamed better. But with the wind and all, it didn’t matter.
Who are you? What are you? What do you want from me? Hello!
After another bout of boredom and switching theme, I’m trying yet another recently added WordPress.com theme:
Elegant Grunge by Michael Tyson
An unwashed yet crisp theme with layouts options, support for custom background and header, widget-ready footer, and an optional full-width page template that removes the sidebar. Read more about Elegant Grunge →
I like this theme for now until I get bored.
Allelujah! Praise the Lord, Allah, Buddha, Krishna, Brahma! Between blogging and slaving, I’m friggin’ bored again. It’s useless to work full-time here! And with the three of us temp workers, it’s no wonder the trimming took out full-time jobs that are REDUNDANT! Even the computer could do our jobs! All they need to do hire a consultant, identify an effective solution and have both systems talk to each other!
So there you have it folks. I’m bored again yet renewed because the weather is clearing up! The sunshine is coming out and from my small peek at the window from where I’m sitting, I see little to no clouds at all! I’m going to enjoy my breaks today! Praise God! Allelujah! Bah!
