:: The Blurst of Times ::

I had a teacher who once said: "If it is hard, don't do it. You won't anyway, so don't stress over the fact that you aren't doing it." I'm running into a brick wall here at work. I have one current assignment, to grade about ten acres for a soccer field, a football field, and a baseball field. Currently, there is little to no slope, which means standing water... that's bad. I need to create slope, just a little, like 1%. So I create it. And the Boss says "Too much grading. Do less." And there I'm stuck. I've been stuck for about three days now. He doesn't give me new work, so I just keep staring at this field. Then when I get tired of doing that, I play minesweeper. When I feel guilty about doing that, I go back to staring. This viscious cycle must end, but how? or when? I can't get the earthwork down. ARRRGH.

So it was a good weekend. Went and saw Rocky Horror Picture Show in a big group and did the whole throwing crap and yelling crap thing. It was fun, but the movie is just kind of lame. Sometimes I wonder about these "cult" followings. Went to a "pimps and hos" party and saw a lot of flesh. That was nice nice nice. My parents came out - got some early birthday presents. Went to a scholarship dinner. Watched some baseball, some football, some of this and that. Finished a good book. Beat the eye infection. Got to bed at a decent hour, felt good about living again.

I have thought of a great line to close a speech with. I even have a great topic and outline to go with the speech. Now I just need the opportunity to give the speech. Another reason that graduation cannot come too soon.

But I pregress.
