Matt-Man Runs With The Wind

Hail and well met

I am hoping all is well with everyone.

I am doing ok. Thanksgiving was amazing. I went up to Terri's the Wednesday before to catch a Wolves game with her. Then I stayed over and after cleaning up some leaves with her we went to her parents for dinner. It was quite enjoyable to spend time with her and her family. The only thing that sucked was having to leave early so I could get back to go to work.

You see I had to work the whole week of Thanksgiving. My regular makes a trip to visit with family in Tennessee. So I worked the whole week, including the day after. You see I am going to rant about this again.

What the hell is the point of having a quote "holiday" if you pay for it with double or even triple the work load when you get back? I don't see the point. Yes I am glad to have the time to spend with family and friends. I would prefer to have a little more control of when I take it and when I get screwed. The mail never stops flowing and it just piles up, just like garbage. So when ever we take a day it just waits to for us to come back and thanks to the single mindedness of the Post Office we are pushed to get it all out in one day. There are some concessions made but not many.

I would prefer to choose the time and place that I get it up the ass. Oh and that would mean never and I mean NEVER take a Monday off. That is the dumbest idea ever. Mondays are already heavy due to the fact the again even though we are off on Sunday the mail still flows, so on Monday there is roughly two days of mail. God forbid that we have a Monday off due to a holiday cause that means we have the equivalent of three days of mail and since most stupid holidays that we have off are late in the year we are in the holiday rush of catalogs and ad letters and parcels. That means a shit-ton of mail on the Tuesday after a Monday holiday.

Just let us deliver the mail and choose when we take the days off. Of course people will take the holidays off like Thanksgiving and Christmas but Memorial day? Veterans Day? Labor Day? These I don't mind working and taking a day off later when I can use it. Like during the slow time after Christmas so I can go on a weekend trip or something.

Ok the rant is done.

Well now I am sitting here typing out a post after a day of sorting and organizing all the crap in my room. I took all the measurements for better shelves to maximize the storage and display space. Oh I also got my drawing/painting table cleaned off and acquired a second chair so I now have a chair for my computer/writing desk and one for the other. I feel so opulent (wow never thought I would ever get to use that word in a sentence and in the proper context!). I guess it is kind of the same feeling people had when they first had two TV's.

Tomorrow if I don't work (knock on wood) I will do both my laundry and visit my parents. I was supposed to do that today but just had to get the room worked on.

Oh I need to apologize to everyone that came home for the holiday for my absence but between work and going up to see Terri I was worn out. I am just not adjusted or accustom to the work load and the wear and tear on my body.

I feel all of my 37 years. I am not getting old! I am just not in shape.

Need to get back to working out.

Wow I have ranted and raved on and really said not one damn thing.

I feel just like a elected official!

Matt-Man for senator!

Matt-Man for congressman!

I mean Ben took Pope so I cannot take that.

I could be President but so far that seems like a suck job. Well definitely not a job that anyone takes seriously anymore.

Thanks Bush!!!!!!!!!

Ok well I will try and figure out a better post for later.

May the Force be with you

Excelsior!!!
