Good Morning Oh Kee Pa (Part 1)

Non-Phish General
#8101

my posting comes in spurts eh? I’ll go months then wham postpostpost. anyway. go POOOSET posost pstpyoett! I’ve had one vivid dream after another these days… last nights was about trying to make peace with the local bears… who, somehow, have been communicating with us humans and really just want to get together to show off their BBQ skills. :eh: seriously, that was the dream. in it i was skeptical of the bears, wouldn’t you be? sheesh. BBQ skills my ass, you can’t trust the bears… they’ll get into your pantry and garbage faster than you can say TEET! I didn’t care how “domesticated” they presented themselves they are still wild animals with big claws and strong as the Hulk, so no, i was wary. lol

anyway nursing school update… last semester. wife getting sick of me all of a sudden thinking i know it all mr-nurse-think-you-know-all-medical-problems. she has a point… see the above posts to doug. :problem: i can’t help it tho… i’m studying these things, they are in my face… studying psych problems and my rotation is on the psych ward… bona-fide cuckoo nest. serious mental sickness. schizo’s hallucinating, borderlines cutting themselves up, people with uncontrollable urges to punch themselves as hard as they can in the head… not to mention the psychotic criminals. for. reels. this might be old hat for some but being on a psych ward for the first time is shocking. :arrow_right: well not really but… I thought it would just make me even more crazy than i already am but i’m… fine… yeah… however it has shown me that i’m not interested in working psych as a career… as much as i kinda jive with it… loonatics.

phish dates coming soon and even tho i have made the statement over and over i’m not going to shows i still look forward to seeing the dates. there will be a part of me that wants to go, of course, but i’m still holding on to not going. i have “not gone” before… in fact all of 03 i stayed home when I actually really wanted to go… i figure if i make it thru a few years while staying home it’ll get easier… and “cherry picking” (as they say) some shows thru the year to listen to will probably be enough. I’m looking forward to buying a few of the remixed releases…

so coffee and morning. i have to start my day… got a neuro lab and a bake sale to attend. yes a bake sale to attend. I’ll say that again, a bake sale to attend. bake. sale. wtf am i going to a bake sale for? i have to, thats why. thru some cosmic joke i’m attending a bake sale today. not baked sale… but a real cookies and cupcakes bake sale. I’ll be sure to wear my tu-tu and pink underwear. :confused:

Good morning all! I’m home from work today with a fractured elbow (the innocent casualty of a poorly located barfight), which leaves me free to check for the tour announcement every 10 minutes or so! I’ve had my cabin booked for Watkins Glen since NYE, so it’s about time these suckers get confirmed.

Nice to have some free time to browse the Pa again. I’m downloading the latest TAB shows, have a big plate of fried chicken, and a moratorium on work from the higher ups…should be a pretty good day :thumbup:

#8103

Not a bad morning so far seeing as how I hadn’t read about the early summer tour announcement until a few moments ago. Nice, two shows twenty minutes from my house, even though as a venue, PNC blows chunks. Actually I thought Phish would never play there again after the stink the surrounding towns made about Phish and the makeshift court they set up to prosecute people for drug and alcohol use. The '99 and '00 stops were surrounded by horseshit from the locals over Phish fan behavior. I’m sure they’ll be no shakedown street at PNC. Security will be busting tail gaters as well mostly to make sure you but those ten dollar beers inside.

But hey, Phish will be there, and that’s what’s important. And we usually take that week off from work to spend time setting up the gardens and the deck, so it will be an even better vacation now. Then Camden the week after, and then we go to Aruba for a week on the 30th. Damn, June is all of a sudden a sweet month.

Hope the rest of my day is this good.

Life is great… the positive-vibe-meter in my life is back up and running at a high level… been red-lining that sonofabitch lately it seems. gonna post a thread about this in the “Members Projects” section, but I’ve been working full time now for a great band in Minneapolis… close friends of mine… I run their light rig at night and double as management/booking/graphic designer/website admin/social media guru/party provider/smile giver during the day:

Fuck yeah it’s a good morning. Waking up with the promise of lots of Phish shows on the horizon, what could be better?

#8107

Always nice to have ticket request in, hotels booked, vacation days saved. A great morning indeed. Come on spring and come on CUBBIES! :thumbup:

Morning 'Pa. Kind of a blah Thursday ahead. Not really appreciating my new work digs. Back inside a massive government structure in a six man office with no windows nearby and even though I have more physical space in my ‘pod’, the atmosphere is oppressive.

But the word is, everyone will be gone by the end of August, and I have no idea what the future brings for me beyond that time as far as work goes. It’s kind of scary in some sense because of being used to my known routines, but where it counts, I’m not really worried if I ever work again after this job ends. Not to sound like some egotistical farthead, but I’ve always felt I could do most things well enough to find work, always had a faith in my ability to come out of any change all right. Like there’s something consistent and unflappable in my being that will find happiness again wherever life takes me.

If I could give one thing to my friends and loved ones, it would be that immutable knowledge.

Well it’s officially my last day here at the Ohio client site.

Looking forward to being desk-bound and back at the office for a change.

Perfect timing to be around for the Summer ticket Sales coming up in a couple of weeks.

Good morning folks! I just got into the computer lab at school to work on a paper for Physics, so that is a nice way to start off my day at 9:00 AM. Still, I do like being awake earlier just because I don’t feel like I missed the whole day later on. Raining outside and probably 40 degrees, this weather is just fucking with me. I have heard from quite a few people that we are supposed to get a big ass snowstorm in March with one last blast of Arctic air. Here’s hoping!

Kinda freakin’ out about the Phish tix. I don’t know where in the hell I’m gonna get the $500-600 it’s gonna take to put this trip together, but I’ll figure it out somehow. Gotta go slowly, probably gonna have to buy one ticket and one hotel at a time. Except for Atlanta, those I can’t wait on. I think that’s gonna be a tough ticket again because it’s such a centralized location for the whole South. TONS of people I know from Birmingham will be there, and they’re not even huge Phish heads. Fans for sure, but not like us. So yeah, that’s gonna be a tough one.

One more short day to go after this one until the weekend! Make it a good one folks!

#8113

Good morning Bill and Pei Yi! :wave: Well, my secretary of 22 years looks like she is singing her swan song. Time to start going through resumes :unamused: .

#8114

Man I have a large pile of data that I’ve been putting off analyzing. But if I want to actually have something for my presentation tomorrow I should really get on it. Oh well, have a good one peoples.

#8115

^^Secure your Alpharetta’s, wing the rest (Raleigh and Charlotte didn’t sell out last year), and camping=much cheaper than hotels :slight_smile:

#8116

Mornin…Err, yeah never mind that.

Love to all, see you all soon, I HOPE!!! :thumbup:

Friday again. Thought I would be taking it off to finish the bedroom this weekend, but alas, work related things will eat into today anyway. But one of those things is a farewell luncheon for one of my technical support team. Been working with this guy for the past three years and he’s saved my ass numerous times because he’s always known what to do before my having to tell him. He’s a great worker, with a great attitude and a super sense of commeraderie and humor, always a plus in my mind. I’m going to miss him, but I’m also happy that he’s found another company in north Philly that will pay him what he’s really worth.

Well, the cat woke up and he’s sitting behind me in the dark of the room. He sleeps at Marie’s feet all night and stays there even when I get up, until about 530 when he knows I’m done here and go up to make the coffee and tea. He also gets fed at that time, so his behavior isn’t that surprising. It’s his silence and patience that I find amusing.

Have a great Friday.

This is going to be terrible.

We went from next to no snow on the ground yesterday (what was there was little bits of ice).

And NOW…

It is snowing sideways outside my place, AND I have a funeral this morning.

Sweet Lord, get me through this day and I will drink one in your honor tonight.

#8119

It’s Friday. I updated my iTunes this morning and now iTunes has a new icon on my taskbar and the layout is different.

I fear change.

came down with something yesterday…coughing/fever/feeling very weak, and left work early. Also calling in sick today…sucks. I really can’t afford to do this but considering my job is a lot of working outside, I know I have to be smart. Plus my legs really need a full day out of ski boots. This will be my first day without them on since last wednesday. Should’ve taken one of my Sunday-Tuesday weekend days off skiing but I couldn’t do it. Was just having too much fun. My legs hadn’t felt that worn down as they felt yesterday since high school football. I could barely ski.

and it’s -7 out there right now with a high of only 5… :confused:
