Is it Friday yet? Baby check-up tonight and then I need to get some housework done, but that's all that's on deck. Just saw a news report on the soccer riots in Egypt...holy crap! I know people take take their sports seriously, but that's out of control!

Morning. Got to do some translating to do but what scares me is having to read 1000+ pages of movie scrips in the next five days. Hello speed reading.

Morning Monkeys!

Well, doc got my back to pop a few good times. Still sore and still cramping up, but with ice and stretching, should work out.

Healthcare rant: So my crappy and overly expensive insurance says I can spend up to $1000 for "alternative treatments" like acupuncture and chiropractic. So doc calls to find out what an x ray will cost me and they tell him if he orders it, it hospital visit and x ray cost come out of the $1000.

So I have to make an appointment with my primary care, have them order it, then forward the pictures to the chiropractor so I don't totally drain my alt coverage.

WTF?

Just rode 30 miles to drop off a jacket, took two seconds, now back home.

Shooting the Martin show up in boulder later tonight. Any Denver monkeys up for a free ticket, let me know. The post gave me a +1 and I don't need it.

thanks
starting off, its a "temp"-to-perm position so i wont get benefits right away :think: but when/if i do, they are pretty great. the pay is pretty darn close to what i was making at jvc too.

my town is a rich white neighborhood so there are no bad parts...all that sh!t is east of me in Reading. i will be doing driver training there but during the day, its not so bad. i doubt ill be able to carry a gun but maybe some mace to ward off dogs(?)
it will definitely be weird driving a right hand drive car full time. i drove a bit in France but thats a bit different since the roads are based on right hand drive.

I have to order shorts that are 3-4 inches bigger around the waste to get the length I need. :think:
thats what i figured id have to do.

sad afternoon. There is a really nice lady whom we have been transporting for years, and during that time has we have become close friends, she entered Hospice Care today. Could be tomorrow, could be months down the line, but this one is going to hurt when she goes. I'm really going to miss her smile, humor, and the conversations that we have shared.
