stuff and things

Sep16

Ever since we came back from our Star Wars Celebration vacation we have been in high gear at our respective jobs and at the ambulance corps. On Thursday I actually came home at a reasonable hour (Dawg did not have the same luxury) and I hung out with the kitties. Ripley acted like she had forgotten who I am. Not in that smug way cats act, but in that “I honestly have no idea who you are and I’m scared about that” way.

I’ve tried to spend a bunch more time with the kitties this weekend, but I was out Friday night, all Saturday, and then Sunday afternoon into the evening.

What did I do?

Interviews at the ambulance corps on Friday (I’m membership chair now, if I didn’t mention), helped Dawg set up for his driver training class at the corps Saturday then we had dinner and went to the movies, then Sunday we went big item shopping at a warehouse store called BJ’s and then had Sunday dinner at Mama Dawg’s. I was so exhausted from lack of enough sleep lately that I fell asleep before *and* after dinner.

I need another vacation. Thankfully things are coming up that will provide me with that, including an EMS conference, a wedding, and a quick visit from my BFF. :) ))))))

I’m starting an MS SQL Server Administration class this week. Looking forward to it, even though it’s for work. I love learning new things. Wish me luck? I doubt I need it for the actual content, but perhaps to stay awake in the class since it’s 6:30pm to 10:00pm one night a week, after a workday.

Also, for fun, I’ll show you the coolest car tchotchke I’ve ever seen:

It’s a Michael Myers mask/head!

And, for randomness, a map of Manhattan neighborhoods I borrowed from NYC Tourist:

And one more random thing that is awesomer than awesome:

Dawg is a Machead now! (He has a MacBook Air, too!)

  1. PS – I did way more than I’m admitting to this weekend. I didn’t do anything illegal, but I left out a bunch of things that added up to additional tire-dom.

  2. I’m sorry your kitty didn’t recognize you. Also, small question… How close is Queens to Newark NJ? I’m going to be there playing roller derby as a guest for a charity bout with the Psycho 78′s in October unless something blocks my travel plans. Just wondering! ;-)

  3. When talking New York neighborhoods, the only one I consistently forget is Murray Hill. I always just lump it in with Gramercy. It drives me crazy that I just can’t get it to stick in my head. I guarantee you that tomorrow morning I will have forgotten about it all over again.

  4. Any map of Manhattan that lumps Hell’s Kitchen in with Midtown West is boring. Same with any map that includes it but calls it Clinton. Hell’s Kitchen, bitches!

    Stuyvesant Town is totally unknown to me. I met someone a few weeks ago who lived in that neighborhood and I looked at them like they had three heads. Totally unknown Manhattan for me.

    Dig that Michael Myers thingie. And stuff.
