Continuing in the tradition of being the busiest underemployed man in America, the blog has been falling off the plate lately. My apologies to anyone who may have missed my daily (or so) ramblings.

The position is going well – still settling into the role of prep cook – this week, with TMBWitW still awaiting the results from her procedure, and not being allowed to drive, the Chef was kind enough to let me flex my hours a bit and work earlier in the day; that way, I could drive my wife to work (the deli is in the same building she works in) and then take her home after work. TMBWitW has her follow-up visit on Friday, and she’ll be cleared to drive herself then.

MEG has developed a funny little quirk – she doesn’t like to be in a room by herself. During the day, this is not a problem. But when it’s bedtime…

I’m stealing these few moments of quiet before the house gets moving to get TMBWitW to work, then I’ve got two dogs to get to the groomer, some walnut wood samples to make, and some veneering to do on the hope chest.

Friday morning is the next installment of The “O” Word on BlogTalkRadio – I promise to have the microphone plugged in the right connection this time…

Chat ya later…

Man, I wore a red shirt and everything.

I tried to do a show this morning. I should have known better. It’s was last December (and a different computer) since I did a show. I should have checked with a test show whether or not WinBLows Vista likes the software that BTR uses.

It doesn’t. Vista doesn’t like Skype either. Guess what I use to call in to the show?

SO – I ended up setting up in the office, in front of the old desktop monitor. I had Skype on the old machine (which doesn’t want to connect to the internet, but WILL allow Skype to work – go figure) and BTR on the laptop. Vista doesn’t like the chatroom, either. I even went so far as to use the CAT5 connection to the router, instead of the wireless connection, so I wouldn’t be running the risk of no connection. Then, to top it all off, since I was using the old computer for Skype, and it had been a while since I had to connect the headset to the sound port, I plugged the microphone into the wrong jack. Eight minutes forty four seconds of talking to myself, no one in the chat room to give me feedback, until Harvest Pastor joined the chat room, and I found out I was broadcasting dead air.

Perfect. Ship it.

I was sooooo close to not posting this evening. I was going to do a post on Tuesday. Then, I was going to do a post on Wednesday. Today, I finally told myself to buckle down a do a post, for crying out loud – my five readers would be wondering where I went!

It’s been one of those weeks – the best intentions are waylaid, and things get out of hand, and next thing you know it’s so late at night and you STILL haven’t watched the last three Sprint Cup races… or the season finale of Warehouse 13… or the season finale of Eureka… or anything else you’ve DVR’d, either. So – do you stay up late and watch one or two items? Or do you be the responsible type person who has a job to go to in the morning and go to bed so you can function? Or, as I did, do you choose to try to do both by falling asleep in front of the tv?

I gotta quit doing that.

No staying up late for me tonight though – I have to get up earlier than for work since I’m re-lighting “The O Word” on BlogTalkRadio tomorrow morning at 0700 Mountain Standard Time. Sure hope to see you in the chat room or on the switchboard – I’ll be the host wearing a red shirt!

It’s amazing how much more rested you feel when you don’t drive a cab for thirty six hours, trying to do the last twelve on five hours of sleep and four hours of waiting in line, then getting two hours of sleep before going to a day full of church activities.

For those of you wanting to know – TMBWitW came through the procedure with no major issues, other than a continuing feeling of dizziness and pain that seem to want to stick around for the holidays. She is resting at home, in her own bed, and doing a lot of much-needed sleeping.

I’m off today – the owners of the Paper Plate Deli are driving back from Telluride today, after a much-deserved extended weekend away from work. I’m back on the clock first thing in the morning.

Remember, “The O Word“ is back on the air on BlogTalkRadio starting this Friday at 0700 Mountain Standard Time.

How was your weekend?

How about supporting a pro-military, non-career, conservative-to-the-bone candidate for State Representative for the 41st District?

Then Matt Burden needs your help.

Just sayin’.
