| I moved most all of my stuff into the new apartment that Maria and I will be sharing here in a couple of weeks! We had a good laugh yesterday as we were putting silverware away in the drawers. When we were freshman we bought a silverware set together that was large enough for us to split and split they have remained for the last five years. Now, the set has been reformed! Together again are the blue - handled knives, forks, and spoons in the same drawer. People, I recommend that you get engaged. Get engaged to the right person of course, and then get married. This has been some of the best time I have ever spent in my life. Give me until after September 22nd and I'll give my recommendation on marriage. Early predictions yield a wonderful forecast! | | |
| After work on Friday my boss (the one that often speaks of himself in third person, see previous post...) decided to take me and three other co-workers out for a beer. I decided right then and there that he could call himself whatever he wanted from now on and I wouldn't care at all about it with this kind of generosity!
So, we are having the typical I work with you, but I don't really know you, so let's try and find something interesting to talk about conversation, and we began talking about dogs. This one guy starts telling us about how he has a new house and he wants to get one of those invisible fences for his Beagle. He tells us how he often loves to play fetch with that dog. He was watching a commercial one day with some tennis celeb and noticed one of those automatic tennis ball shooters in the background. Then he had an amazing idea...
On ebay he found a remote controlled automatic tennis ball shooter for about $65. Now, instead of actually throwing the ball himself for his dog to fetch it, he told us that he will set up his lawn chair in their large yard, bring out a cooler with a chilled six pack, and play fetch with his dog by pressing the remote controlled shooter! Wow...I almost fell out of my seat as we were all laughing at the site of this man playing fetch with his dog by pressing this button and drinking a beer from his lawn chair. At first I thought to myself, "How lazy can we get?" and then I thought, "That is the most cleaver story I have ever heard, hahaha!"

| I really hope that no one from where I work will read this, but I just have never really encountered anyone quite like this guy. Do any of you know someone who consistently refers to themselves in the third person?
My new boss has a tendency to speak about himself in third person. Instead of saying "I" he will say his nickname that people call him by. Let's say that his name is Micky (cause I am somewhat cautious this could get back to me). However, everyone calls him Mick.
Ex:
Doug (a false co-worker): Mick how was your weekend?
Micky: Mic played nine holes down in Concordia.
Doug: Nice, how did you play?
Micky: The Mick scored a 92 and Herman a 100! Mick also turned 45 this past week. It was a good time.
What the heck is this all about? Everyone else is so used to it that it seems like they don't notice. I am having a very hard time not breaking a smile each time I hear it. Do you know someone like this? Do you do this ever for fun? Why would someone do this regularly? I am confused...

Today I started working for McCarthy Construction here in the good old STL. I am working on the downtown Pinnacle Casino
project. It has already been pretty exciting for me. I
think I am really going to enjoy this experience. If you go to
the webcam from the site I linked, my office is just to the right of
the picture. The camera is facing Northwest with the Arch only a
half mile behind it.
