PAPER JAM! and a Painting.

     Heynow. It's a really boring day at work. My boss had a meeting this morning and then went to lunch right after. I'm doing specifications today and I need him to confirm somethings before I continue. (Minutes fly by) Alrighty, he came in and made changes.(After making the changes, I goto the copier) AHHHH! Stupid copier keeps jamming! I hate you! (At this time, I have quit copying for the day). Here's what went down. I make my copies: Set A of Z x25 - done. Set B of Z  x25 - done. Set C of Z x25 - (I multi-task as the papers are printing. At one time, I goto the bathroom) When I come out of the bathroom the copier has stopped. Set C had 9 total pages and had to make 25 copies so time doesn't make sense to be finished. There was a jam. I take all the jammed papers out and start again. They jam again. I continually to unjam and start, making small changes to make sure it runs through but nothing was working. After about ten tries, I found another collection of clogs. Unclogging that made it work for about 4 copies then jammed again. I located a gear that wasn't moving so I tried to get to it and make sure that it would move again. At that time, my boss finally came over to see what was going on outside his office door (I could see him the whole time, trying to fix it). He just stood over me while I worked. Of course his solution to everything is "Throw it in the creek and see what happens". I really hate when he says that about ANYTHING that breaks. The copier, the computer, the plotter, the printer, the coffee machine, the phone, or the internet (I don't know how that would work if you tried). Anyway as I was typing in that last sentence, my boss walked up and left for the day, HALLELUJAH! It's only 3:25PM but today it has been slow and frustrating.

     Let's end on a good note. I have a friend on the internet screen name: Katers17. We talk on twitter a little and she makes vlogs on YouTube. I've watched her for about a year and have chatted to her when I joined twitter this year. I thought I would do something nice for her on her birthday and paint her a picture. I couldn't mail it in time for her birthday but she put it in her vlog. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEWWrODDyrM&feature=feedu I also made her a few CD's, stickers, and gave her a pair of work out gloves. In the bag I had a note that said "Someone call the vet because these pythons are sick" *flex muscles*. Here's a screen shot of her and my painting.

     I'm glad she really likes it. In the video my "part" starts at 2:15 when she notices a bug on my package (TWSS, weird) and then shows the painting and then does the vet / python joke. Anyway, I'm glad she likes it, that made my morning. Well, I'm going to go home now and relax a bit. My life is exciting, later.

P.S.: I made a video yesterday and didn't have time to upload it so I'll upload it when I get home.
I'm home now and the video is LIVE! Here's the link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5y9VCHaUKI

Blazing Saddles

     Heynow. I got another snow day today. So I haven't really done anything. Yeah, so why am I blogging if nothing happened? I don't know. I did download some more music today. Frank Sinatra, Blondie, Sex Pistols, and Boston. What a selection! I've been getting into classical music too. I really wish I had my prop so I could have filmed and edited my video idea. I would have had two days to do it. And I'm really excited to do it all but I need that prop. It sucks that the snow had to come now. I can't get out or anything. I'm making two lists: one for groceries and one for my "hobbies". I'm listening to "Bring'em Back Alive" by Audioslave on my iTunes. Since I've got my new camera, I think after I do the interactive video, I'll try and vlog for a whole month. I could cop out and do it in February (since it's the shortest month) but I think I'll do it in April. Starting it on April Fools day, then ending it on April 30th (My birthday). I think that's a good idea. I think I'll actually announce it to my family (in person) so they know that I'm weird, but they already know that so it'll be business as usual.
     Actually today, I watched a movie that my family has seen over a hundred times (being literal) Blazing Saddles. I love that movie. My dad, my brothers and I can quote it all day and make each other laugh. If you do every see it and I'm there, it's okay if you kick me out if I recite a line every ten seconds. Besides I could probably play the movie in my head and laugh at it that way. I wonder if a company has a Blazing Saddles t-shirt? I'll check it out later.

Do you know the secretary's last name? If so you're a die hard Blazing Saddles fan like me.

     Oh yeah, today I had an orthodontist appointment that I now need to re-sequel. I'll call Thursday since they're only there on Tues. and Thurs. I did workout at the apartment Sunday night and last night and today my stomach hurts from doing about 60 crunches Sunday. I did about 10 today but it's still hurting. But don't you need to workout when it hurts because that's how you build muscle. Well, I still worked out today. Just lifting things and doing simple workout stuff since I don't have any equipment at all. Push ups, Pull ups, crunches, jumping jacks, walking around the apartment, running in place, laying on my back and doing the bicycle thing and stuff like that. I've been eating a little bit more healthy too. I bought some bananas the last time I went grocery shopping and I didn't really care for bananas but now I like them. I've lately lost my appetite a bit and I've a bowl of cereal and a banana for supper the past two nights. I'm okay with it really. I don't need to eat that much anymore. I'm cutting down on food in general. I still like food its just that I don't need a lot of it. Yeah, that's all I have to say about that (Forest Gump reference). My life is exciting, later.

Vlog's, Working Somewhere Else, Scars

     Heynow. In case you missed last week, I did all vlog's! My boss was on vacation and I was at work alone and was trying to figure out stuff to do and vloging for a week crossed my mind so I thought "Why not." Here are the links:
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday / Sunday

     I got a few ideas on entertaining people while doing vlogs. Which is cool, I find myself not entertaining when it comes to videoing myself. I feel that I always have nothing to do. People have interesting lives and I have an apartment by myself and I work with no one besides my boss who is in his 80's. Wow, now realizing that he's at that age, I probably need to find another job to fall back on. Vaughn & Melton Engineering is right next door, so they might take me in. It's a lot like my job here but they mainly do site work. I do have a good reputation with them. When ever I need a copy of a 36"x24" sheet of paper, I just go in the back and do it myself. I even know how to put another roll of paper in the machine. I know a few people there too. Plus my senior year of high school, the drafting teacher's brother is the co-founder, Mr. Melton. So if my boss ever retires I have a very good chance to get a job there. It's a good company from what I see.
     I'm still sore from Saturday night being at that haunted jail. I was in a cell with a mask and I had to bang the bars with a rusty pipe, jump around and yell. Well I jumped around alright, my left elbow smashed into a thick rusty beam and my right foot got stuck between bars when I was jumping down from climbing on the bars. I have some scratches and blisters on my left hand from handling that rusty pipe. My voice is still a little sore from screaming. I took some nighttime cough / sore throat syrup last night and that helped with my throat and with my sleeping.
     Other than that stuff, that's all I have to say. More tomorrow I guess. Later
