If you're traveling for business and you hit a "dead zone" typically for phone and radio station of your choice use caution. You see, sometimes when a man has been on the road for 3hrs he gets bored and will forget himself and do things he typically may not do.

For example.
If you're driving as mentioned above, and you're going to pocket dial a coworker, don't do it when you're having your own personal American Idol audition going on in the cab of your ride. He has speaker phone, and on that day, cell reception isn't going to be a problem.

That's right....in the spot I couldn't make a phone call for $1mil any time I drive through it.....I pocket call a coworker, when I'm singing a tune and it stays for 10 minutes.

Lemme guess...

I'm just glad it wasn't one of the songs from that damn wii dance game my little girls do.....It could have been some Madonna or Dynomite......


I couldn't even remember doing it until he called me the third time while was in my meeting to laugh at me......and then on the way home I caught myself doing it again.

I'm pretty sure he got John Denver "the scotsman" and possibly some Eagles.

I'd have preferred had been Waylon Jennings or George Jones day in my mental ipod...But I'm glad it wasn't "we are the dinosaurs" Lauri Berkner day.

Simple solution: Bluetooth....

I pocket dialed mid-song once - the car was smart enough to catch the call and pipe it in over the radio before I had a chance to make an ass of myself. Thank you car, thank you very much.

I have learned that you can't make money unless you got good health and your eyes work and your teeth aren't rotting. So take care of yourself.

I have learned to sit in there when times are tough and don't have ass the pain. Pray, go for a walk, face that stuff or you will never grow.

I have learned to have the life of your dreams requires millions of boring tasks, so either make the boring tasks fun, or accept that the tasks will be boring.

I have learned that some people just don't want to be in your life, and you need to focus your thoughts on people that need you and your help, and not focus on people that are trash.

Never tell yourself "it'll be a quiet one" in a public setting.

Trust me...it won't be a quiet one.

I learned that one at college. One of the larger lecture halls acoustic seating.....plastic chair seats. I was unloading a quiet air biscuit that went off like a semi on the rumble strips.

As the professor and a hundred or two people turned around, I did what any self respecting young man would do, and looked quickly at the sorority girl sitting behind me.

Several of mine from years ago involved the phrase, "hold my beer and watch this!" Nothing good ever comes after those words are spoken.

If she says "No" it does not mean "NO"...it just means you dont have enough money yet...also it could really mean no, but that's why you duct tape them first...wait..what ?

[Bump]

they told me not to have a few cigs when I went out drinking with my boys, but I "knew" I wouldn't get addicted. Still am, lesson learned.

So, today was interesting and in the end, this story is probably about the hard way.

It's not often I find myself speechless, but today it happened.
It has been furious and hectic at work, high stress, long hours more stress.

On the last day of the common workweek, around mid morning, my office receives a visit from a special friend, a young adult with special needs. We talk to him, we mentor him, hell, I'm taking him hunting this spring, we enjoy his company most of the time.

Today, as he completed his tour of the office, I assumed he had left because it was quiet, you can usually tell where this person is in the building. So I run to the other end on an errand and find the young man sitting at one of my coworker's desk....looking at porn. Vile, filthy porn and I'm pretty certain giving Gilligan a shake over the pants.

I can't begin to tell you how interesting the history file was in that 5-10 minutes unaccounted for this morning....

I guess we're going to have to keep a closer eye on things next week.

So, what's Hootie like IRL? Did he try to date rape you?

I find this hard to believe.

(Not the special kid looking at porn part... the fact that your office doesn't have porn firewalls.)

Got a phone call this weekend, confirming there would be no more breaks for adult cinema or shaking of gilligan during future visits.
