saturday random thoughts

call me crazy, but taking down a light pole is a lot of work. if you can manage to plan taking them and not get caught, me thinks you can land a job that pays more than $100 bucks for scrap... split between however many people.

i've lost my ipod. i only used it twice... so i'm a bit baffled by what i did with it. i left it somewhere and it's long since gone. it's been months since i used it last.

i wanted it today because i'm about 95% sold on joining a gym. at $50 a month it seems a good deal. it's right down the road.. and my current thinking is that i'd stop there after work each day for 30 to 45 minutes of bike riding.

not staggering i know, but i want to be realistic about what i'm going to do. 2.5 hours of exercise a week is a hell of a lot better than my zero hours now. i think as i got into the habit of going there, i'd branch out and do more than just the bike. i'm like that.. i have trouble doing the same thing all the time. i get bored, so the trick will be to get in the habit of going there.

i'm also working on my 'alternate' plan for work. my current job will not cut it. i went back to work friday, what a freakin' waste of time that was, and as i drove in i realized i was mentally preparing myself to quit -- that i was sure something had happened while i was gone and i didn't want to deal with any sort of bullshit, so if i was to be "yelled" at.. i'd just quit.

then i realized, every day for i'd gone to work for the last month, at least, i'd been doing the same thing... wanting to quit.

this isn't healthy.

however, i won't be quitting until i sort out the next step. money in is good. money in trumps the short-term job-hating... esp now that i'm aware i'm doing it and won't get myself worked up going forward.

what else? oh, i archived today.. seems it's been over a year since i last did that.

i thought about deleting some entries, but i won't.

thanksgiving was pretty much what i thought it'd be.. and not really anything worth writing about here except i did see the movie about walmart.

i didn't like walmart to start with and the movie paints the company in a pretty shitty way, which is the point of the movie.

i find it interesting that someone like bill gates is villified, but the waltons arn't. if you add up the money, the walonts trump gates.. and don't give shit to charity/community while gates does.
