I’m too tired to think of clever subjects

So, here I am sitting in the brown cafeteria in Lull-vull waiting for a 4 AM plane ride to the ATL. And since I have some time to kill and a wireless network link, I thought I'd bust out a blog. ANd I had a great idea about some subjects to cover earlier.. and as usual lost it.

Maybe if I ramble for a bit they'll come back to me. I'm feeling a bit under the weather today. I think it may be a cold trying to take root. The drungs I bought earleir seem to be helping out. And I'm partially happy that fall has arrived in force. I like the color change and the cooler weather.

I did get a nice surprise at work, one of my coworkers and fellow Manual Revision Specialists brought me a gift bag of candy. A completely unexpected and pleasant surprise.

All of you remember the roommate I keep complaining about up here? Well, turns out it seems the people he normally works with don't much care for him either. We switched shifts for a couple weeks and it seems most the people I speak to want it to be a permanent swap. Which works for me, well after the holidays it will work better. Maybe we'll swapp afer New Years if he's up for it.

SO these last souple of weeks have been more bearable and pleasant. And today being my birthday I expect to be showered with gifts when I return home. Or not.

But at any rate I'm just happy to have a seat home.

In the great realm of coincidi (thanx for the word Grace), theres been a lot of random reminders of LT Hines. You can search some recent blogs for more info on the man, the myth and the legend that is named LT. He was always ready to offer his most inspirational quote... "Adapt, Improvise, Overcome". Of course he stole that from a Clint Eastwood movie.

Well, the other day I was reading an article in a company newsletter about some recent issues at the hub caused by severe weather moving through. And one of the operations managers attributed the success in dealing with the delayed operatiosn to the ability of the people to "adapt, improvise, and overcome". I laughed out loud. The people next to me stared. It's a wonder a drug test didn't follow.

Well, as if that wasn't odd enough, guess what movie was on this morning when i turned on the tv? Yup... the one with Clint in his gruffest voice spouting "Adapt, Improvise, overcome Marine". Again, a smile crossed my face. Maybe some one is trying to tell me to listen to him.

Well, That pretty much covers everything I can think of for the moment. Except I feel like annoying Ryan.. who's suffering in a 4-star hotel in germany, with his rented BMW. I'm still waiting on my sheet and towel outfit...
