Yawn. Work sucks, stay in school and avoid it as long as possible. So here I am, it's 2 in the afternoon on a Thursday, and it's just about naptime. Yesterday, it actually was nap time. But today we turned the air conditioner on, so now not only is it not like a sauna in here, it's far too noisy to sleep........until, that is, you start to get lulled by the constant rushing sound from that thing.......
I think that maybe I'll leave a little early today (again). Everyone (well, four of the other people) are in Oregon at some tech conference, to which I was not invited (mercifully), and won't be back until Tuesday. So it's been fairly quiet around here.

I managed to spend some time today in the EBD room at Cedarcrest (woo-hoo). Man, did that suck. EBD stands for Extremely Behaviorally Disabled. These aren't the worst of the SPED (that would be SBD, Severely Behaviorally Disabled, those are the ones with helmets and harnesses and shit. But the EBD kids are a blast too.....makes me wonder how you could be one of the teachers for that. Those kids spend a lot of time yelling expletives at the teachers. The worst part is, they aren't as messed up as they seem to think they are, just programmed that way. Quite a few of them say shit like "I'm too stupid to learn that" or similar. It's really strange that this happens.

Sounds like an...............interesting dream you had there James.



It looks like I can get a loan for the new truck. It sucks though, I'll have to wait so long to get it. Two months is a long time, and that's the lower end of how long it'll take. Might be three, or more. Ugh. But I still have to get in contact with the Costco auto dealer. They were supposed to call me, yesterday, but it didn't happen. So I'll call them. Tomorrow. And if they can't quote me good enough, fuck em. Carsdirect.com quoted me 32 on it, and I'd bet money (fact I will, 30 grand of it, more or less) that Titus-Will can beat carsdirect.com's price (or at least come real close to it) I got this one dealer's card. Barry Bornstein. Nice enough, in that he didn't jerk me around and try to sell me what I didn't want. As soon as he found out what I wanted, he talked about it, and didn't try to go for shit I didn't want. So of course he stapled his card to the book (yes, it's a book, 100 pages of it) about the truck when he gave it to me. So after I talk to the Costco dealer, get their quote, it's off to the dealers I go. I think maybe first Titus, then Korum (someone told me they would beat carsdirect) and maybe finally Van Eaton. Whoever gives me the best price and pisses me off the least will get my business.

Well, I better start looking busy, and the easiest way to look busy is to be busy.


Later
