my dream – looting a gas station, taking advantage of a friend

I looted, took advantage of a friendship, and put my wife in danger. 

I don’t remember what happened that caused us all to start looting a gas station, but I remember jumping in and taking anything I could.  At first, I was just grabbing the stuff I was already going to buy, but then I thought I might be able to resell some of the stuff I took.  I looked for anything expensive — but its a gas station right.  I grabbed oil.  I went to the car to unload what I had taken, thinking I would just run back in and take even more.  While I was doing that, people all around me were grabbing stuff off the shelves, just like I was.  I remember thinking, “what’s wrong with these people?”  Stephanie asked what was going on when I dropped the stuff I had stolen off in the car.  “Nothing, just start packing this stuff up” I told her.  When I got back to the gas station, the door was locked.  A friend of mine (I have no idea who it was, just that I knew the guy) was inside, wearing a gas station uniform.  He asked what I was doing, I asked him for a two liter of soda pop.  “I can’t, I could lose my job” he said, but I was convincing.  “I just need a drink, man. I won’t be long and look, so much is already gone, what would anyone notice?”  There was someone else in the store with him that I didn’t recognize. He let me in.

Work Jargon, and GeoCaching

WOW – I cannot believe I haven’t written in here in such a long time and so much has happened at work, home, and church.

Let’s start with work – I still have no answer about the request for raise and promotion, but I will let you know as soon as I do. We have begun the AD roll-out finally. Greg Hoffman and I migrated LOC 1820 yesterday. We migrate the Contact Center next week. Anyway…

and Church – I spoke with Bro. Ronnie and asked him how can I help – he asked me to become a lay leader. I still don’t believe I have a good answer as to what a lay leader is exactly, but I went to training and I plan to get involved as much as possible.

Home – Well, check out GeoCaching.com! Quite possibly the best thing that has happened for Stephanie and I in a long while regarding physical activity and us time. We have been going from park to farm to park, hiking everywhere. For those who don’t know what geocaching is – I use multi-million dollar government satelites to find tupperware in the woods – :)

We post latitude and longitude of a cache online and others use those coordinates to find it. We sign the log and trade trinkets, while picking trash up along the way. It’s great fun and Stephanie and I found 7 today. Anyway, I’m going to bed now.

He Who Finds a Wife, Finds a Good Thing

Ok – I was going to go to bed, but I noticed a bug in my journal page that incorrectly dated my entry as 04/01 instead of 04/11. I wanted to correct it, so I jumped on to my server and worked on it for while. It is now fixed, but in the process, I allowed myself to get side tracked and I re-read my journal entries from last year when we had Zander.

Wow – I had forgotten those thoughts completely. That is why I should have been keeping a journal my whole life – so that I wouldn’t forget. Zander is a child from God and sometimes I forget that. Stephanie is THE WIFE from God and I often forget that. I love her so much and my love for her grows everyday. I hope I am able to show all my children that my love for Stephanie is only passed by my Love for God.

Anyway – I must go – it’s late and I am tried… Until next time…
