all in a days work

I had a hankering and i settled for it, chinese food. one of my downfalls, for sure... but i stuck with the good stuff and didn't break totally down and get crab rangoons, sweet and sour chicken or anything like that.. I mainly had a urge for vegies, so i got a steamed vegie dinner, they even put the sause on the side, which is amazing.. becuase when i got the side of sauce, well it was bigger portion than the soup i got. so if that's the amount the put on a normal dinner, that's a lot!
so i just spoon a small amount and go to town.
What else?? well i am cold.. it is always cold these days in the Midwest.. WTF??? i mean I have not seen the sun in over 20 days.. i mean no sunny days at all. How can people live like this? You have to rely on your own spirit to feel happy?? that blows.. I need sunshine on my face and in my eyes to feel good.. GIVE ME SOME SUN...
More listening to Howard Stern. It's the best part of going to work for me, is that i work alone, at night, and can listen to the WHOLE show on the repeat in my shift.. It starts over about two hours in to my shift, and that's just when everyone that works durring the day, leaves. So that works out perfectly.. I would never listen to it on the speakers if there was other people in the building.. people get so offended by him, but i think he is great.. this week has been a little slow, so i have to do some re-working the dial tomorrow and see what i can find... I am totally in love with my Sirius.. (and i have been a subscriber for over 5 years)
Since i have been working nights, i have completly stopped watching late night TV, so i don't have any thoughts about the late night fiasco that has been going down on NBC.. I did like Conan at his old timeslot, and i did watch Leno on the Tonight Show, so since the "big move" i have not been a fan of either show, the Leno Show or the Tonight show with Conan. I am sorry that he and all his staff have now lost thier jobs, i am jelious that all these people now have some free time, ,living in southern cali.. not a bad gig, for collecting unemployment.
WEll that's about all for tonight.. here are some interesting tid bit that i bet you didn't know.

well well well....

there has to be more to life than Facebook.. so i am here to see if that is true..
I have been working night shift at a job for the last few months and i am starting to get a lot bored with the games and apps on Facebook, so i thought i should start a blog and do something with my time that is a little more proactive. not sure how, but hey, i am a risk taker so lets see where this thing goes.

I work from 4pm to midnight, everynight, and alone at that... so i got a lot of time on my hands to write. I listen to a replay of Howard Stern each night and then it gets really boring after the replay is over.. this should give me something to do.

The posts should get more interesting, but for now i will leave it up to your imagination of what topics I might cover nightly.. maybe even bi-nightly.. we'll see....
give me time, it will get better...
