The weather's changing

Things get better, after time. And work, I guess, is no exception. I got to actually put in a couple full days of work this week, which made the whole of last week's frustrations kinda fade to the wayside. Don't get me wrong... I'm still poor, but I've done about 25 hours in the past 3 days, and working more tomorrow as a way of pimping out my services to those in need. Go team Mrakka.

Things I don't like for Friday, May 5 (Cinqo de Mayo):

1) Stupid people in Honda Civics who turn north onto MacLeod Trail right in front of me as I'm going about 90 km/h, forcing me into the next lane over where a lovely but massive Mack Truck was ready to hammer on his breaks so as to narrowly avoid crushing the chunk of metal known as the 91 Escort I'm driving.
2) Painters who know nothing about painting but tell you how wonderful they are at said painting, who then proceed to made fools of themselves at said painting by doing absolutely rubbish work, and then have touble understanding why they're useless.
3) Paint stores that close at 6pm, when I need to stop and purchase hand cleaner and other suppplies at 7:15pm when I have finally left the job site... after scorching in the sun for 9 hours.

Things I do like for Friday, May 5th (did I mention it's Cinqo de Mayo??):

1) Sunny days
2) Dogs with bandanas and cheerful dispositions
3) Kids who think that painting houses is a cool job
4) My lovely wife... I miss that girl, even when she makes me crazy (it's good crazy... show's that she cares)
5) Surviving the drive to work on MacLeod Trail
6) Ham Steak
7) Cold Pilsner... Okay, maybe not LIKE, but it's hitting the spot
8) Did I mention my beautiful wife? She's pretty cute.

I guess this means that I'm having a good day. Boy it's lovely outside. It's also nice that I'm actually going to be able to see my parents... I'm heading to Bridge City to visit the old folks in their native habitat tomorrow after work. It should be enjoyable... ahh, Lethbridge once again.

That's all for now... until again, strangers and friends...
