Trash Day

It is sad I work nights so sometimes the days get a bit jumbled up. I know that today is Thursday since I just put the trash cans down at the curb to be picked up. Friday I make my deposit for the business, Monday I sleep, all day sometimes it seems. Sunday is our busy day so it is not confused with any other days but the rest seem to run together and unless I look I have no idea what day of the week it is. I think I need a real daytime job so I will at least know what day of the week it is.

Crazy prices

We just got home from trying to fill the truck up with gasoline. The gas stations that have gasoline are charging an arm and a leg for the gasoline. The gas station closest to our house is now at $4.09 a gallon. It was $3.51 a gallon there yesterday, I know the hurricane is making some of this price jump but I blame a lot of it on plain old nasty ass greed. The gas stations know we have to have gasoline and they know that they can create a false shortage and charge what they want to for the fuel. I wish I could just stay home for a few days and let the hysteria calm down a little bit before I tried to buy gasoline again. But real life sometimes gets in the way of doing what we know is the right thing to do.

Comcast sucks

As the only show I watch on a weekly basis comes on my cable messes up again, Comcast is not doing a very good job with the cable in this area maybe it is time to invest in a satellite dish and tell Comcast where to stick their poor service. Every time I want to watch a show I have to deal with poor reception or no picture at all, add in that they do not carry Sports South and it is the death blow as far as I am concerned.

Gas Leak

As I was trying to get to the bank before 5 pm I ran into a grid lock and later I found out it was caused by a broken gas main. It is bad enough to have Friday traffic compounded by a road completely shut down. Plus they had to evacuate the bank so it was a totally wasted trip. I think I will just go to bed and see if tomorrow is a better day. I do not know how many more days like today I can have before I have a complete melt down.

MMA on CBS

If you caught the MMA fiasco on CBS last night you will of been as disappointed as I am. I had never watched the MMA and I thought it would be a good chance to check out a new sport. I was sorely disappointed in the program, not only did it run very late it was all pomp and no fighting. After 70 minutes of broadcast there had been about 2 minutes of fights, very disappointing. I hope if they do it again it will be more fights and less show, if I wanted all show and no fight I would watch professional wrestling.
