Lightnings Tic-Tac's

I have redone the blog. It is now less offensive to the senses. Enjoy, I may actually post on a regular basis this time.

Contracts

So once again I'm at work...not doing much. My bosses (2 or the 3) are in contract negotiations with this company for the pension thing. The details are boring, but these negotiations go at least until the end of July if not longer. And the only consistent job I have during this time is to sit in their meeting room during their lunch break and watch a bunch of binders not get stolen because, despite this stuff being confidential, there is no one who would want to take any of it. I mean, they might accidently throw it away, but that's about it.

I've started going to Jamba Juice every day. Lots of surgar in those, or so I've been told, but I like them anyway. It's the only thing that keeps me awake here. I do enjoy the walk down to K St mall though. It's pleasant.

Anyway, in an attempt to do something constructive I've tried to start writing again. It's very difficult. I can't think of much that I want to write about. Plus, I don't really want to leave it at work, but if I send it home I have to send it back to work to keep going after working on it at home..anyway. I started writing a poem about El Tigre, but it needs some work.

I used to be able to sit and read, but my boss doesn't want me doing that anymore because it isn't professional and because I'm stuck as a 2 (or maybe 3rd) string secretary for the big boss of this area I can't just wander off somewhere to read as often as I used to. Le sigh.

On the plus side, Adrienne and I are going to Hawaii in August. We'll be leaving the 8th and come back the 15th. It'll be so nice to get away from Sacramento for a while. I miss Hawaii, it was always so good to me. It will be Adrienne's first trip to Hawaii ever, so she'll have a grand old time. We're saving a bunch of money on the trip, too, because we don't have to worry about a hotel. Yay for relatives that live there.

And just remeber kids, if you lived in Autralia a few thousand years ago you would have had to run from 3m tall demon ducks and meat-eating kangaroos.
