06/07/2005: "Long and boring day at work today."

Yes it was, extremely long day and quite boring too I might add.

Absolutely nothing to do as the morning shift had extra time on their hands to get extra work done. All the prepping was done when I got to work so I spent the next 8 hours twiddling my thumbs waiting for some work to happen. Never came!

Since they (GOV) passed the new “No Smoking” law in January for public places the restaurant has completely gone to shit. We’re lucky to get a $400 shift done lately. Used to be a time 2.5 years ago that the place was always packed full, but not anymore. Kind of sad for business but really what can a person do right? I mean restaurants are popping up everywhere now taking business away from us, so can’t really do too much about it I guess?

I managed to get a few chapters read in my book. (Stephen King – Wizards And Glass – The Dark Tower IV) I love this series of Stephens books, one of the best series of books I have every read. But I love Stephen King novels anyway.

I read the first two novels years ago when still living out on the farm with ma and pa like 11-12 years ago. Then a year and a half ago I found novels III and IV, finally got around to reading III late last year, but I don’t read them day after day until they are done. I usually read a few chapters here and there when I find the time. (Usually while on the crapper!) I finished III 2 months ago but didn’t get into the 4th novel until a few weeks ago. I’m on chapter VI at the moment (page 223), I’d get into details here but then that would just make me want to start reading more, but I have to get to bed soon. LOL
My ex-girl friend Cheryl bought me volume V (Wolves Of The Calla) for my birthday this year which was awesome. Thanks Cheryl!!

Very good series though, I recommend them as they are a great read for the casual reader like myself or the cronick reader. Haha

On another note, I had to move my clan forums to my home server tonight. I checked my bandwidth usage and I’m already hitting %50 of my allotted monthly usage, and that is just after about 2 days of the forums being up. So you can see why I had to move it! I just setup a redirect to point to my server, this way the usage will go down considerable and save me from having to fork over some coinage to upgrade for more bandwidth per month. The link to the forums is up at the top right hand side of this page if you care to have a look around?

I have today off (Tuesday 07 2005) so I get to sleep extra long if I want... hehe But I think a female friend and I are going clothes shopping for me in the morning. I really need some clothes, but I can’t tell if I look good in them or not because I think I am an ugly looking guy in anything I wear, hell I think I am ugly no matter what so her thinking I’m a sexy dawg and all will make it easy for me because if she says I look good in the crap, then I must look good in the crap!
