Wednesday, the awfullest day of the week

Typically I hate Wednesdays, don't you? It's the day where the excitement of a new week has worn off and the weekend is still a ways away. Its similar to mid afternoon where the day starts to catch up to you and all you want to do is take a nap. I think we should sleep through Wednesday. Or at least half of it.
Today, however, shouldn't be too bad. I don't have a lot to do at work so I will be having more fun laughing at those who do have lots to do... until I get roped into helping them. Plus, last night we were all here until 11:30 so it should be a day full of sleep deprived silly people. Or grumpy old farts. Hopefully both so the real fun can take place.
Did you see the sunrise this morning? I know during this time of year we all get depressed because of the inversion and all, but the sunrise was awesome. A couple of stars were still visible and the dark mountains really stood out against the light blue/pink/yellow sky. It was great. It made me think that coming right back to work at 7:00 wasn't too bad.
Have you ever heard of Archimedes? If you haven't, he's known to have coined the term EUREKA! When he discovered the method of measuring the volume of oddly shaped objects by noting the amount of water they displaced. (He discovered this while bathing and was so excited he ran through the streets naked shouting, EUREKA!) So maybe he was a bit eccentric but he was also very smart. He also said one of my favorite all time quotes which is:
"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world". Just a reminder that no matter how difficult the job, all you need are the right tools.

The Long Road

I have a confession to make to all... I have a strong addiction that I am in no way willing to ever give up. I'm not even going to try. Her name is Carly and I just can never get enough of her! I love that little lady more than anything.

Well, it's getting down to the wire with the I-15 Job we have been chasing. This has led to a lot of long days, nights and weeks. One week I even had 28 hours of overtime. It's great pay, but I miss my little family and my sleep. At this moment it is 8:13 p.m. and alphagraphics is working their buts off printing off our proposals for us. Then we get to assemble them and get them ready to submit to UDOT! Its exciting but I am really looking forward to Thanksgiving week.

Random thought today: it takes Pluto 248 earth years to orbit the sun. That's a long time.

This weekend I am really looking forward to the BYU Airforce game. I think Airforce is better than most think. They took Utah into overtime and lost to TCU by only 3 pts. I think they should be able to give the Cougs a run for their money.

Also, with this blog I am now seriously kicking Carly's butt in our blogging competition. However, we have suspended it since our internet has not been working for the last month. Hopefully after Monday we will have that taken care of.

The Chuck Norris jokes came back to haunt me at work the other day but I really liked the following: "Little Ms. Muffet sat on her tuffet. Until Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked her into a glacier". Yep, my sense of humor is very refined. Anyone else a fan of Elvis? That's not a joke, I really like the song, Surrender.

I better go. I hear my boss.
