I love chocolate milk

I was at the grocery store today and saw chocolate milk. And in my 24 years of my life i thought to myself. I have never bought chocolate milk (among many other things) So i bought some. Man i love everything about chocolate milk. The thickness of it. The way it's poured into a glass. The way it tastes in my mouth. The feeling i get inside everytime I take that stuff down is just awesome. And the after taste it leaves. YUMMY.

So I'm pretty much done with the ccogb website. Other than pictures and content about individuals and events. And maybe an updated calendar... haha man i don't think that problem will EVER go away. Which brings me to my next point.

I contacted the guy that hosts the website. I asked him if they ran Coldfusion server on their servers. He was like nope, but if you want to buy the software ($1,000+) so that they can put it on there servers for me to use. Umm ya me pay 1k so that they can install it and allow the rest of the users to use it. Now if i where a nice guy with that kind of money maybe i would think about doing that. So at the moment i'm still waiting to here back if they allow ASP or PHP so that i can upload a script that will allow me to have forms on the page. I'm not too keen on the whole CGI perl script things. I already have a PHP and coldfusion script for forms. I guess i'll probably have to go off and find an ASP script somewhere.

I have a dream

so last night i remembered one of my dreams. and a weird one at that. somehow the world was ending, and we were hiding animals in this house/shack place? And i introduced a friend (who will stay nameless to protect the guilty) of mine to my dad and she got all offensive saying she just wanted to be friends (and thats all i said to her) then she started crying. Then somehow i got into a different room that had a lot of people in it, including the lady that runs my apartment complex. For some unknown reason she decided to pull a gun out and start threatening to shoot. SO i jump towards her (hoping that in my dream she won't shoot me) to try and get the gun. So then i grab the gun from her, and thats when the not quite cops, but the evil enemy's (slavecamp type background) had me pinned down as the person trying to threaten everybody. WHen it was the girl behind me i had taken the gun from. So the renegade people start questioning everybody in the room, and nobody says anything. So then i got on some weird trip (like i have a microphone or something) and start standing on tables trying to address a subject like first. did anybody see me walk into the room. They all agreed. Did you all see the lady start pointing the gun at everyone. YES. Did you all see me jump to try and save your lives... then at that point i think i woke up.

So about the girl and her animals? not quite sure what that is all about, but her other issues i understand my thought process on why i would dream that. But the whole trying to stop someone from shooting a group? maybe thats me trying to protect my line from my boss? And me standing on tables is my last ditch effort to get my line to get to work and be productive. and the rest is just beyond me.

sorry to put you all through that, but its 130am and i just felt like typing.

interesting to say the least

so i was chilling at home after work today pondering some issues. (the normal supervisor thing) Then the song "On My Cross" by FFH comes on. And its hard to really comprehend the issue of what i will be doing, because of Jesus' open arms. and His love is overflowing for us. And as much as i'd like to do that to my employees, i just can't. Which i guess is where the whole tough love comes into play.

I almost think it would be easier to be a parent than it would be to be a supervisor. becuase when there your kids, you know they aren't going to take you to court. But in the reverse i guess when you have a bad apple, you can always fire them and with kids your stuck with them.

I don't know thats my thought for the day. Tomorow should be real interesting.

I feel like killing something

Well due to heavy amounts of spam to my vuccf email account, i think i'm going to kill the account. i haven't quite decided yet. but it will probably happen by the end of summer. i'm not all that sure that i'm going to tell people about my new address. in fear of getting on someone elses spam address. I guess it's bound to happen anyways.

I've never liked it when people change there email address. not like it's hard to change on the address book. But i guess it's just me. So if you know me, and you only have my vuccf.org email account and you want to continue to stay in touch with me. email me or IM me if you want the new address and pray that i get it and hope that my comp doesn't think its junkmail like it does everything else.

Tornadoes

we had tornadoes not in this county but surrounding counties because of the storm on friday. had to put everybody in the cook room while the supervisors went outside to assess the situation (a.k.a. look at all the cool cloud formation and see if we can spot a funnel cloud before the weather people do.

Biscuits and Gravy

Had some breakfast with Pastor Jon. Talked about some video/praiseband/website stuff. So hopefully we can start utilizing the website, and making skits and fun movies to help involve more creative people in a team. The mind that God gave us is amazing. Having the ability to use that to the fullest is quite difficult. So the next couple of days i'll get to play with some programs, and do some cost estimating on what it will take to create these videos. It seems like just yesterday that i was doing this for Kroger and got denied. So trial number 2 I guess.

I'm still not doing a whole lot with my mornings. I'm just liking the whole new feeling of working in the evening and having the morning free. Maybe it will get old in 6 months. But ya this video editing will be cool, especially if we can get the highschoolers involved to be the actors.

Yesterday was another great day at work. water line broke right over our salad mixers. So we had to throw away a whole bunch of food. and clean the room all over again which had been cleaned earlier that shift. and the city decided to empty out the fire hydraunts so we lost water pressure. So we couldn't clean anything. What is going to happen today? stay tuned to find out.

!!!!breaking news!!!!

Today i lose my baby. not my physical baby, but I am handing down my duties of running http://www.vuccf.org It's been my duties since the summer of 2000. It was the first real project i took on. But one of many non paying jobs i took on just to get experience. So yes it will certainly be a tough one to let go. Which probably means i'll probably have to take that off of my resume now :(. It was a good five years running that site. It would have been a lot better if i had been the webmaster and actually been an attendee of ccf, or someone on staff for the full 5 years. But that just wasn't possible.

But off with vuccf.org and on to ccogb.org. Hopefully this will be an easier site to update since i'll be around most of the time.

I called the CCF house around 640pm yesterday. And totally forgot that everything starts at 7. Good thing i didn't call much later.

Also i'm told that Scott is leaving CCF. They are sending out a news letter stating what all is happening. He accepted a job in Olney i believe, and will be working with the jr high-college age people at the church. Scott will be missed by quite a lot of people, but our prayers go with him in his new journey.

Grillage issues

So yesterday i slept until 1:30pm. ya. umm thats late.

Spent the evening (yesterday) at Jasons eating hamburgers/hotdogs/steaks with their newly bought grill at there house. GOOD EATS. Then we played some serious ESPN 2k5 football. I rocked. Out of the 3 2vs2 games we played. I was always on the winning team.

Playing the game really makes me wish i had a big screen TV to play on. But i guess i'll have to wait a couple of more years to get something bigger than the 20 incher i have now.

I created a website for www.ccogb.org yesterday. Not quite finished with all the details for the template yet but i'll get that transfered over within the next couple of days.

I'm really wanting a grill right now. but Not a huge fan of buying one at walmart. I think there is a grill store here in town. I just haven't checked the yellow pages yet.

Nobody got sent to the hospital last week, but one person did walk out on my shift at work.

hmm lasagna sounds good too. I hate that i love food so much.

Draw a Pig

You drew the pig:
you are a realist.

you believe in tradition, are friendly, and remember dates (birthdays, etc.)

you are analytical, cautious, and distrustful.

you are secure, stubborn, and stick to their ideals.

you are a good listener

You drew large tail, WOW!

11 hour day

Nothing i mean nothing wanted to be at work today. NOTHING.

So today i realized that my license plates expire. But even more importantly, they expire on the 15th. Technically it's today but i still have to do some sleeping to do before i officially call it the 15th.

Cincy

Growing up traveling to hotels you would always see rooms saved for certain companies to have some sort of training for it's employees. Well growing up i probably thought that would be cool to have the ability to do. Travel places and get training. Now here i am 24 and i actually am doing that. It was never a huge goal or dream. SO i can't say its a success story or anything. Still it's cool to go to hotels, and get a USA today on your front door step. Nevermind the fact that i don't ever read it. It's the princeple of the thing.

When i woke up saved by the bell was on. It was that one where screech runs for Miss Bayside. CLASSIC. Good ole Jesse Spano causing a rutkiss about the event. And Kelly Kapowski tries to sing "Blue Moon" And of course Lisa Turtle. Its always funny to see her Smack Schreech becuase she has no other real good qualities, other than maybe maxing out her daddies credit card.

Okay so that was a little too much detail. For food at this thing in Cincy though for the topic of lunch was Taste of Cincinnati. Well, they had Ribs, and Skyline Chili, and Brats. I so wanted to go for seconds, but nobody else did or at least i never saw anybody go back to the line for food. Sneaky little rascals.

Monday was Nicoles first day back from the big fire incident where she lost her two kids. I think she did okay. But today i found out that she decided to take a couple of more weeks off.

they hate me. woohoo

it only took me a week and a half, but i think a whole line hates me now for keeping them over.

Tuesday and Wednesday I will be in Cincy for training. so thats another score. but its 1130 and i have to be at KB at 5 am to leave for this training in cincy. Stupid daylight saving changes.

going through the motions it seems

Stressed?

well another uneventful weekend. Only to be followed by an action packed week i guess. I slept through church. This whole nap thing through me way out of whack
i slept for 2 hours friday after work. so i couldn't get to sleep until like 3. I had an event to get to on Saturday that i made too ontime but forced myself to wake up at 1130. ya So having woken up so late i wasn't tired when it was time to sleep. So Sunday morning pops up and i forget to set the alarm and i sleep right through church.

So sorry Eric B, but naps are the devil. Or it could possibly be that i am untrained on the skill of supreme nappage.

Monday is tomorow and i'm loving the idea that i don't have to wake up at 6 for work. But Tuesday i'll get very little sleep drive to CINCY for some GMP training for two days. So its going to be like a three day work week. I'm trained to sit through lectures man. You actually begin to like lectures/training when you have a job, other than listening to lectures day in and day out.

Today I finally got the oppurtunity to wear shorts. (other than the times i go to the gym) but like out in public. It was oh so nice.

Poodle Fitness I don't know who i'm more scared of. The women or the dogs!

ugh

if i could cuss, this whole post would be filled with it.

It's a beautiful day

Why do we seem to base the "Beauty" in a day on weather condition and temperature when everyday is a day that the Lord has made for us?

Choppin Cellery

i just ate a whole bunch of celery. For future reference. Eating cellery is like chowing down on water. There really isn't a whole lot of enjoyment in it.... Unless your chugging it. Water that is. Chugging celery sticks can be kind of dangerous!

[Listening to: I Am In Love With You - Darrell Evans - Freedom (09:33)]

You Fiiiiaaad (Fired)

Okay so its late, and i can't remember the last time i was actually up past 1. And i think i was actually singing at work. Somebody stop me now.

So heres what happened at work today

Within the 2nd hour of me being at work, one of the employees walked out and left. He may say he quit. But i call that job abandonment, and i'm firing him.

Near the end of work there was a little verbal fight. We had to have them come into the office area and have a little pow wow. And tomorow we get to play "where were you on the night of yesterdays eve." to try and figure out what happened.

So within one day of my new role as a superviser, my name is now Terminator. At least there not saying Donald Trump. gew.

Stream of Conscious

So i have a friend that is just boggled by some of the things i say, and topics that i get on when talking about certain things. I could be in a group conversation, and from that convo in my head i get think of something else which leads to something, and so on and so forth. A lot like that ADD thing where in my head there are channels changing and i'm not the one in charge of the remote.

Well a couple of years ago he stated to me he would love just to see my thought process because its just so way out there. past couple of nights i've been doing my usual thinking thing, and was all over the place, from music that i was listening too, to creating a training database, to budgeting, to relationships, friends, social life, to work, to etc. So day i'm going to have to grab a labtop and just start typing what i'm thinking as a Stream of Consciousness writing. It's a genra. Nobody will understand, (possibly not even me) will understand it. and i probably won't be able to type fast enough. or will be infront of the labtop thinking of what to think. Thinkers block. The worst kind.

i've got a sercret

thats right. I have something that hasn't even been advertised yet. And its not even out in the market to buy yet. No its not one of those get paid to try out the product. I wish i could tell all of you what it is. I just can't. But still its cool.

Okay so Friday happened and occured. I was fine throughout the whole day. Even cracked a few jokes during my little 2 minute speach talking about myself. But near the end of the day i was about to bight some heads off.

I created this agenda for the whole day. Everything being in 10 minute incraments. Unfortunately i was not in charge of moving people from one area to the next.

Usually when somebody really important comes, everything breaks down. Luckily only our dessert Autoprod decided to act up. It was the third area we had scheduled in the tour. I walk back into desserts while there in the Commissary area (area number 2) and i find that it is broken and not working. So we obviously have to try the stall method. This puts us behind by quite a bit. Start talking about things you wouldn't normally.

So lunch was scheduled to occur sometime around 11:40. Well we didn't get to lunch until 1:30. So becuase i set the agenda, people kept bugging me that we were behind schedule. Well thats nice from the people that were joking around with me, and yes 1:30 was a little late for lunch. But it's not like your gonna die if you skip a meal. I guess maybe if your diabetic it may have caused some problems.

So the day went well other than that. So it was a successful visit. The presentations were great. And I was told by the GM that he is going to tell the guy that i took over for, that we don't need him anymore for this visit, because i did a great job. It's certainly a great comment. But he made my job pretty easy with the groundwork and meetings he had previosly to leaving for his two week vacation.

But ya i really did think i was going to bight somebody's head off during the middle of the visit, or at least go off on somebody to say get over it. There off schedule, when does anything go as planned. I think that would have been funny to see me go off on someone.

Now that i've bored you with my life, i think i may go read a book or something.
