People Are Needy
Bonus: Not a Problem

End of Week Thoughts

• I hates me some cowboys
• I loves me some football
• Mo brings up a great point, check out the comment from yesterday. I have to agree. Not only do we push ourselves but others are pushing us as well. Most of the time we're not even aware of it.
• Becker Vineyards--Cab--Very good. It's actually been a pretty good way to relax lately. I had a glass last night before bed and slept better than I have in quite some time. I also ran 3 miles and was up at 4:35 am so that might have something to do with it. Me likes me some Becker.
• Speaking of Becker, never watched the show.
• Speaker of show, never understood the racing reference. Didn't they all show?
• Still debating my fantasy football team name, Seinfeld is the theme again. I got a couple in mind and so far the Frightened Turtles are leading the way.
• If you haven't seen Intervention, it's a must see, TIVO baby. There's something about seeing somebody else in dire straits that makes you feel a little better about yourself. Is that wrong?

How many times

must I tell people "yes, I'll take care of it"? The speaker today focused on taking care of yourself, telling people no, and not spending so much time at work. I am pretty consistent with my hours at work but the hours I put in at home taking care of people is starting to add up. Hopefully it will get better after the school year begins. I kept thinking about my staff and how much time they put in at home or off the clock. Am I creating an expectation that they should keep it up? Does your boss or my boss create the same expectation of us?

Jason Taylor again

I'm really getting tired head on JT. He's already talking about his Hollywood aspirations. Seen on PTI today, he seems to be getting more...well...his skull appears to be expanding. Still, there's a strange fascination since he's Zach's brother in law. I almost feel like he's the brother that I always looked up to. The one that I wanted to be like. The one that always made me feel like a failure. Wait..I already have one of those.

Zach's sister?

I always wondered what she looks like and see little to no family resemblance. I assumed she would be short and bulky like Zach and a big round face. There might be a little something with the round face but other than that, one of them is definitely adopted.

Fishing

So my brother finally came to the house for fishing after promising for years. I was so shocked that he actually showed up. The fish showed up also but they just wouldn't bite like we hoped. We still caught about 20 and kept 5 but we should have kept our limit. The sand bass were schooling all around. It was pretty cool for an hour we were pretty much surrounded by fish. It looked like the boat was in boiling water. We tried Rattle Traps, slabs, Torpedos, jigs, and Road Runners. Seems like we would get a bite on the first cast after changing and then nothing until we changed again.

I have to admit that he did catch more fish than me and that's fine with me. I'm just happy that he showed up and we got to do something. I guess that means it's my turn to go to his house next.

This week's three words

Thursday Skattershooting

• Would it be wrong to have O'Douls in the fridge at work? I mean really, I like beer and the alcohol content is like nothing. Is there a fear that I'd drink a case and get a slight buzz?
• Just finished with Verizon tech support and have to say the guy actually knew what he was doing. It took a little bit of time but he was knowledgeable, polite, and...American...AWESOME!!!
• I hope somebody is reading this, otherwise it's just a diary. GAY?
• Are these the kind of posts that get people fired or not hired? Does anybody else worry about that kind of thing?
• I can't seem time to read my Sports Illustrated magazines even though tech is number 8 preseason. Almost seems like a waste of money. You know, if they rank Tech number 8, I should pay SI triple the subcription rate.
• This marks the fourth day in a row that I've worked out. M & W run, Tu & Th weights. As I typed that, had a college flashback on the T/Th classes thing. I loved the 1 1/2 hour classes. I felt like I learned more and the days went by faster. On the downside, seems like there was more homework and fewer classes before a test. I rocked those Tu/Th classes!!!

Tuesday and all is...

Okay, I guess. Things haven't even begun to slow down. I've been here for an hour and a half and I'm wondering who's next. Seems like I just get started on something and another phone call. Another email. Can anybody relate? Three more weeks of this madness...then school begins. Amazing

What's up with that?

Why isn't Texas listed as a country in the setup?

What's on Mike's Mind?

I know I'm not Mike but I like the jingle and it's fitting.

• Some people say I'm OCD, I like CDO better. That way they're in the right order.


• Is Tech being setup for another 8-4 year? I mean with the amount of pub we're getting it still is Tech. Are there any Tech fans left that really think a BCS game is possible? Just keep beating A&M and throw in a Texas or OU win, that keeps me happy...sorta.


• It's too hot to go fishing. That chaps me.


• It's too hot to mow the yard. That doesn't chap me.


• I think the wrestling in Nacho Libre is fake.

I'm going to try and post a weekly "my three words". It's a pretty cool idea and since it's hit GMA, I think everyone's heard of it. My three words for the past week (discovered at team building):

1. Leave me Alone


2. I like Pie
