I am totally psyched its friday. I think I've come to notice something about myself. I think I'm an over achiever at work. I am an over achiever not because I get a strong feeling of satisfaction for doing a great job or anything like that. I think I over achieve out of guilt. I always feel like I'm not doing as much as everyone else. So I crunch and hall butt and go to the enth degree. At the end of the day everyone is telling me I work too much or too hard. I just think they are blowing smoke up my butt. So I continue to do the same thing. I think I make people feel uncomfortable that I'm all about the business at work. They don't know that I'm probably the coolest most fun person that they know! I just don't show that face a lot at the office. Mostly because I don't want my fellow work people to know the crazy crap I do on my time. I guarantee if they knew the sheer lunacy that is my "free" time they would think I need some serious help. ha ha ha
really thats a lie. I don't do much crazy stuff anymore. Not like I used to. Not like in the old days. When I did anything that came to mind. Boy were those the days. Now I'm left thinking if its a good idea before doing anything and invariably deciding its probably not a good idea. Every once in a while though I really just break off and do something truly insane and funny. An example last sunday my friend Adam croan packed up his apartment in the city and deposited all his belongings in his parents basement. He's leaving to take a trip around the world. for the next 3 to 4 months. But anyways he had a whole box of illegal fire works I'd say the box was probably about 3' long by 1.5' wide and about 1' high. Well it was chalk full of fire works like roman candles, cherry bombs, bottle rockets, black cats. . . you name it he had it in this box. So . . .we closed the moving truck up and didn't want to open it back up to put the fireworks in. So my friend croan gave the box to me. I didn't want to carry illegal fireworks on the metro so I poured a bottle of 151 proof of rum on the cardboard box and lit it on fire to see if the fireworks inside would all catch fire and explode.
guess what. . . they did! and it was awesome. I really pissed off all his neighbors! but it was sooo cool!
it was like saturday night in mosul I swear! it was wicked. we promptly drove off/ran away shortly there after but it was pretty cool. I didn't tell my fiance because she would probably respond. "Mike were you being crazy again!" Which in all honesty I was. It was completely innappropriate but hella fun!
Anyways. I'm going to finish writing the requirements documents for this new software I'm developing today. That way I'll be a total week ahead of schedule.
And I have to run a 5k for the mentally disabled kiddies tomorrow morning. I'm really looking forward to that! not really but I want to help the kids so I'll be there!
