Diary Gap Period (May-July)
Haven’t written in some time; also have fallen off my workout train. I have been really focused at work on getting things to a manageable situation. It is pretty much there now tho.
At any rate will get back to working out ….break
I am currently sitting here in Frankfurt, Germany in the Steingenberger Hotel. After the worst ever flight from Philly next to one of the stinkest dude ever, the friggin plane arrived here late for my connection to my Gulf Air flight. Really pissed off because after literally running across the friggin airport in Philly and almost chastised for getting to the boarding area late (not my fault – flight arrived Philly late as well), the Frankfurt bound flight ended up leaving almost 2.5 hours late. Can you imagine sitting in a hot plane next to a dude (young guy too) who smells as tho he has not taken a shower in like a month. I swear these European types have a friggin different sense of smell.
Backing up….why was I in Philly: Well, attended a 2 day conference at Langley AFB in Vaginia. The event was very uneventful, could have not attended really, but it was good to get the break. Thought of going down to see the family, but really didn’t want to do the emotional battle with my son. Actually, I was scared as to where my emotions would leave me. I miss them (him) so much. Anyway, hung out in VA for a couple days and now I am stuck in Germany….not complaining since I have never been here before.
Observations of the place….not much to add really. The only think I may want to say is for the exception of 2 or 3 stations in English, everything else is in German – 1 station is CNN and another is EUROSPORT…can’t think of the last one.
Anyway, I need to get ready to leave for the airport. I am getting there early so I don’t have to fart around with missing my flight.
Before I go – back on the workout tip. Will be doubling up on working out. The next 10 weeks is gonna be dedicated to my body, besides I am off my goal by large measure so I have quite a bit to make up.
I also have a few words about work as well before I go.
Over the last 8 or so weeks, I have been working at molding my department. While I can count quite a few successes, my biggest dissappointment thus far is one of my worker – Johnathan. He is in his final year before retirement and is carrying bad karma around the place. Had to have a couple of heart to heart already. Even told Lintz that I am on the verge of moving him from the department. So far I have fired him as the department head and replaced him with Crystal. As far as Crystal is concerned, she lacks focus, but she has a great attitude and shows much promise, as do Kyle my other worker. I will certainly do whatever I have to to ensure that they are in great shape when I am gone.
Lots more have change….but I will have to catch up this diary later on. It is getting late here so I have to go. Yeah! I will use the wait time in the airport to catch up my diary…..how about that..kool….
Bye for now then.
Long Day Big Fish!
Okay…long day again and no workout. Today was a bear times 2. Nabbed a huge fish today. Let’s say big time duckets here bud…that’s right in the mils.
At any rate, as much as it give much professional good feeling to do this, it really really has taken a toll on me. I really miss my family, don’t really care for those…well that’s another story, and yes, it is time to go home.
Just thought I would share that with my journal. By the way, one more day and I get to take a short respite…be!
Not so Great Day….But Who Cares…
It is pretty late now and I will have to be up in the next 4.5 hours to push out again, but I have to just drop a few notes here.
Today….actually yesterday, Saturday, was a pretty dark day. Had a bad spill. Was a bit hard on myself at first for it, but then the more I thought about it…the more I realize…shoot…I am not the only one doing this crap. If I am gonna pay the piper on it then others will as well; besides by reason of position, it will happen here on my level more so than anywhere else.
Anyway, I am really miffed off, but I will just get over it….sometime next week, or next month, it will be something else. The world goes on, and I will move on with it. How about that….I feel better already…..Ciao!
Ms Jackson…. if yo Nasty….
Straight up – I am a big fan of Ms J, but that was really….really not cool. I expect that shizzle from the “Queen Bee” ala Little Kim; she can get away with being skanky, that’s within her persona, but Ms J – c’mon we’ve got kids watching.
So here we go again, another “Diva” had to push the friggin envelope. Why do they have to go that route dawg? Couldn’t she just take a tip out of Maraaaiaah’s book. Staankey is not always sexy….notice the qualification. Yeah…yeah…yeah…I am probably protesting too loudly, but fo real tho.
So her stock is gonna drop a bit, it has to. She has a certain role that she fits in as far as the entertainment world is concerned. She definitely shouldn’t try to out do the Christinas and the Britneys, they are of a different – I don’t give a shit generation. They can do whatever they want and still get away with it, besides black folks are a bit more conservative when it comes to certain things.
So Ms J keep doin yo thang gurl, just keep it on the downlow and stay true to yo image – God knows Michael’s got enuff crap going on in the family, we definitely don’t need the controversy.
By the way, the pics posted here are purely artistic effect. It is not meant to titilate, excite, arouse or provoke anyone….aaaight?
Pretty Good Day…Knock on Wood
So today, day 1 of 2, was pretty neat…really can’t complain. Everything was low key got everything on target list completed….chop!….chop!….chop!
Pretty tired now, let me go get something to eat and hit the rack – doing pretty well with my running. Think I will save and get myself a present if I go the entire month running. Not sure what I will get, but I will think of something.
One more thing – I have not been talking about people in my blog, but I may have to change that. If you know the folks that I know…Gezzam frinking H. Krice, they are the weirdest mother fletchers to walk the earth – I am quite sure they think that of me as well, but who cares.
