I don't even know myself anymore...... :) That's what a weekend like that does to you.....

Have you thought of names for the children yet, by the way? Bert and Ernie tickles me for some reason...... :lol:

BERT IS EVIL! HE HELPED HITLER! HE FOUNDED THE KKK! HE RAPED MISS PIGGY! HE SEXUALLY ABUSED YOUNG WACKO JACKO! HE IS PURE EVIL!

Well I just finished my first week of work at swagelok. I worked there last summer and I know a lot of people there, and I was quite worried that this might cause a major stressor for me, but so far it has been pleasant, probably b/c I left there after 2 months, before things started to go sour (as they did in my last job). The managers are by and large reasonable and accepting of me, but I am worried about the one i report too, as I can already sense some stress in my relationship with him. Right now I am in maintance, and they farm me out to the other departments in the factory, which means something different every day, and failing if anyone needs me, then I clean with the maintaince crew as they change the cutting oil in the machines. I don't like this part at all b/c of the smell of cutting oil and degreasant. I am getting better at cleaning and letting my mind slip into an autopilot/la-la land which is good as it reduces the odds that I will go insane from boredom.

Today was esp. good b/c I was able to slip into a zen-like state after doing a lot of extremely physical work (my personal preference is for that kind) and the noise of the factory just slipped into white noise and the direct lines of the machinery/layout really, really stimulated my mind as I walked throughout the factory which was great.

The theme park I went too is over-rated, but I still enjoyed it. Too bad I came home to a house with a broken AC...da*nit!! !... :evil:

My week has been alright. Think I've noticed my anxiety a leetle more this week though (well the last two weeks). Just trying to take it easy and

relax.

Any reasons why?

Oh, and I am becoming quite interested in the work of Gustave Moreau.

Dunno about the cup of tea, but the lie down would really hit the spot right about now......

I gather you don't like Bert and Ernie as names for the twins then? :( I thought they really rather suited them..... I'll just have to use Bert or Ernie as names for something else then, I suppose.....

Archery colours of Britain= green and white. I can either wear all one colour or a mixture of the two. This is an interclub tournament.

Good. You do not want to name your children after Bert if you see all the evidence here:

Well, one name is somehow just insufficient to describe the wonder and marvel of it all, I reckon....... Two names'll come in handy for easily identifying the several different states it can be in at various times anyway, so ner! :P
