Should I Audition for American Idol???

Over the weekend I created an auto attendant for our new phone system in Ardmore, OK. As part of this I had to record the menu items. So you can now hear me going "Thank you for calling Dot Foods, For Transportation press 1 ...". The manager of that office e-mailed me this morning and told me I was now a recording star. Something tells me though that I shouldn't quit my day job just yet.

Go Cubs Go

As usual my Cubbies are surprising me and turning around a ho hum season to keep me interested. Could this be THE YEAR? We'll see.

TV on DVD

Such a wonderful thing TV shows on DVDs are. Right now I'm watching Quantum Leap Season 2. Ah nostolgia how sweet!

Icy Hot

Well they're right, I don't feel the pain in my back any more, but I have to wonder if that's because of the sensory overload the Icy Hot produces or if it really stops the pain. Mental note, a little dab will do just fine.

Pain in the #!#@!

Well the doctor literally said to take two aleeve and call him in the morning. My sciatic nerve has decided that it wants attention. Perhaps Monday I'll give a chiropracter a chance. Never done that before, but I'm getting desparate.

The Joys of Salary

Let's see, when you ask for downtime on a system you'd expect after hours, but after hours only on Friday night? You've got to be kidding.

Online Dating

I've been doing the online dating thing off and on since my ex-fiance decided that I wasn't "the one". I've done Match, Yahoo, Lavalife and E-harmony. Of course being a guy I ended up paying for all of them at one point or another for the privilege of e-mailing the women on the sites. Over the years I've come up with some pet peeves that I wish women would think about, especially since they're so picky with how we behave.

1) Guys have to pay to talk with you, at least reply and say sorry I'm not interested.
2) If you want to see our picture or ask a certain question, be willing to respond in kind.
3) If you're communicating with someone and decide you're not interested, tell the person, don't just disappear.
4) If you go on a date with the person, don't say I'd like to see you again if you don't mean it.
