Dream Interrupted.

I really hate it when my alarm goes off while I'm still in REM sleep. Not only for the disorientation and confusion as my brain shifts gears, but invariably I'll remember that I had been dreaming a moment ago, but I can never recall what the dream was about except in the vaguest of outlines.

Friday Fiver gives up the ghost

From the usual suspects..

1. Name someone dead that you'd like to have drinks with: Gen. Matthew Ridgeway

2. What's your favorite scary movie? Alien

3. After you've passed away, who will say the nicest things about you? I really couldn't tell you. Hopefully, kshandra will have a bundle of nice things to say about me.

4. What did you think of Peter Jennings? Good reporter. I liked his delivery and bearing.

5. Name a Grateful Dead song: Oh, how obscure should I get? Caution: Do Not Stop On Tracks

Congrats Colonel Nils, you expert on amphibious and cold weather operations!

The Norwegian Army has named a new Colonel-in-Chief for the Royal Norwegian Guard. But Nils Olav is no ordinary trooper!

He's a penguin. A Scottish penguin at that!

Thanks to fearsclave for the link.

KOME, KSJO, KFRC, you were my life back then...

Go to musicoutfitters.com, and do a search on the most popular 100 songs from the year you graduated high school. (You can do this by searching on the year you graduated). Bold the ones you actually like. (Understand that the word "like" in this case means, in the very least, "wouldn't immediately change the radio station from.") Pick a favorite. Underline that favorite. And strikethrough the ones you loathe.

( 1984 was a very good album by Van Halen )

And a child shall lead them...

So I have my truck. Almost set in stone. But I was not ready for what happened today.

Da Boss sent me out with the one guy I'm senior to - Junior. Two rookies, out wreaking havoc on poor innocent pods!

We did five jobs. We were scheduled for three, but we were so efficient that we got handed two more. Since the jobs were enetered under my driver number (my privledge as the "senior driver") I get a binus for the two extras. We also have completed all the jobs this week on time, which I think means another bonus. I don't know if there's a minimum number of jobs required for that to kick in.

Hopefully on Monday I'll get my company Nextel and gas card, and be let loose.

Right now, I'm happy its the weekend.
