v25.9: You Idiom Part Deux - 12

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

I've had a super busy morning this morning.  I arrived at work early again only to be greeted with a phone call from my bosses' boss who is in Hong Kong.  Here I am 2 hours later ready to write.  Is it Friday yet?  Oh wait, IT IS!

v25.8: You Idiom! - 11

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

I was on my way into work this morning when I had a great idea for a musing.  In fact, this idea may be so great that it may end up being a series of musings.  I was looking to explain those age old sayings we usually say without thinking.  For example, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.".  What the hell does that mean?  Read on and find out!

v25.7: Spectacular - 10

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

It is Hump Day!  That's right, for some of us, Wednesday indicates the hump in our work week.  We spend Monday and Tuesday climbing the hill then on Wednesday the climb starts to even out and the the walk becomes easier as we coast downhill to Thursday and Friday.  Of course this only means something to those who work a regular 40 hour week Monday - Friday.  For the rest of you, hats off, I don't think I could ever go back to shift work again.

v25.6: Long Time... - 9

Morning folks,

-slurp-

I'm still here.  I had Friday off in lieu of the Victoria Day holiday I missed last week and then yesterday I was out sick with back pain.  Of course I'm not letting that stop me and my workout is going ahead as per usual.

v25.5: It is Hard - 4

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

This diet and workout plan is no easy chore.  I've been doubting myself and whether or not I'll be able to go the distance.  It has been 4 days and it has felt like weeks.  My body craves the dirty food, the grease, the fat, the unhealthy choices.  I want to dive into a pool of milk chocolate goodness and slurp my way out.  Hell, I'll even settle for a piece of toast covered with jam right now!

v25.4: Turkey Bacon - 3

Morning folks,

-slurp-

Since starting our new diet/workout training I have been introduced to many new foods and combinations.  One new food, that I don't believe I've ever had before, is the turkey bacon strip.  Now I don't know about you but when I think of the word "bacon", I don't think of a Turkey.

v25.3: Hungry - 2

Morning folks,

-slurp-

I'm so hungry!  In addition to the daily early morning workout we've also been following the eating guide for P90X.  Right now I am only allowed one serving of carbs per day.  This equates to one piece of toast for my breakfast.  Of course I'm eating more than a piece of toast a day, but as far as carbs go, that is all I'm allowed to have.  I will say one nice thing about this eating plan, I don't have to worry about making my own meals or worrying about what to eat; it is all planned out for me.

v25.2: Victoria Day - 1

Happy Victoria Day everyone!

-slurp-

Today is a holiday here in Canada.  While most people have the day off today, I do not.

v25.1: Forever Friday

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

What if every day felt like a Friday?  Better yet, what if every day felt like the Friday before a long weekend?  I could really go for a Friday before a long weekend right now.  Oh wait!

v25.0: Thursday Quickie

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

Tis Thursday and the weather is looking fine here in Halifax.  I've been at work for over an hour now and I feel like I've accomplished quite a bit.  I came into work early with the intent to muse but was side-tracked by a few issues that required my immediate attention.

v24.9: P90What?

Morning folks,

-slurp-

Just a short musing this morning.  I have a meeting promptly at 8AM this morning so I've arrived at work a little earlier than usual to prepare and to write a quick musing.  Since the meeting starts in less than 15min from now I doubt I'll get too much musing done, but we'll see where it takes us.

v24.8: Testing Testing

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

I've decided to do a couple things in an effort to make some cash with my site.  First off, you may have noticed the appearance of some advertisements on the site.  These are provided by Google and should be somewhat relevant to the content on the page.  When you click on the more link for this post, you should be greeted with a block of ads that will somehow relate to what I'm writing about.  Each time someone clicks on these links I earn a few cents; if enough people click on the links I earn more money.  The goal here is to create a second income from my site and eventually make this my primary source of income.

v24.7: Life After WoW Launch

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

Today is the day I've made a conscience decision to stop playing World of Warcraft.  While in truth this may only be a small break from the game, my goal is to quit playing completely and taking back some of the things I used to do before WoW.

Happy Mother's Day

Just wanted to send out a Happy Mother's day to all the mothers out there.  Also, a very special Mother's day to my own mother; I love you Mom.

Reverting Back

I've reverted back to Wordpress.  Movable Type was a great application but there just wasn't enough support or plugins or templates for it that I would have liked.  I've reverted back to Wordpress and implemented a new theme for you to enjoy.

Let me know if you have any issues with view it.  Also, all user accounts are reverted back to the original login/password BEFORE I moved to Movable Type.

Cheers,
Al

v24.6: Things are looking UP

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

I think this may be one of my most anticipated musings ever.  I dropped an interesting piece of news on a couple family members yesterday and when prompted for more information, I told them to read my musing today.  I love the suspense of others.

v24.5: PocketSmith Fun

Good Morning Folks,

-slurp-

It is Thursday and I can hardly believe this week has gone by so fast.  Of course I was sick Monday and worked from home yesterday so really I've only been in the office for one day this week so far.  Wouldn't be nice if you could go into the office one day a week and still make decent money to live?  Better yet, don't you wish you could work from home all the time?

v24.4: Something Different

Morning folks,

-slurp-

Well apparently the "Something Different" turned into something familiar.  I was attempting to write my musing from the front seat of my car while I waited for my wife who was at the Dr's office but apparently all the text I entered was only imaginary and was not saved upon submit.  Alas, now I must find alternate ways to blog remotely.

v24.3: AGAIN!

Good morning folks,

-slurp-

I was out sick yesterday.  With the current scare of this Swine Flu going around, I didn't want to take any chances with showing up at work not feeling well.  We have already had several corporate communications at work instructing people to stay away from the office if they suspect they have Swine Flu and to get checked out.  I don't have Swine Flu, but I did feel a bit ill yesterday.
