haven’t had time to write much lately- been quite the busy guy lately. well a combination of that and my right hand is feeling some carpal tunnel coming on. I’m starting to think it might be from using a laptop.. or just using it to much. I’m considering getting a Mighty Mouse but I’m a little paranoid about them after reading some of the user reviews. people either love em or hate em- but the haters are because they seem to have gotten a defective mouse. so… if you happened to one of the lucky ones who got a working mouse then it looks like you’ll be happy with it. I might chance it..

I started another intense workout regimen which is another reason I’ve been tired after work. after about a week/week and a half of it I’ll be back on track and it won’t take such a toll on me. I took a break for a month and it really hurt me- about the longest layoff you can take from lifting is about 2 weeks without it doing anything to your strength. right now my biceps are still sore from monday morning. and although its not a very comfortable feeling, it feels nicer than feeling like putty.

this week has already started out pretty shitty- the last two days have been crap. yesterday I spent about a half hour in some ones attic mid afternoon. it was probably 130 degrees in there, quite possibly even hotter, no joke. there was a low pitch in the roof two which didn’t make things any better.

the second I entered sweat started pouring from my face onto my clothing. I finally found what I needed to work on and sat indian style while I tried to work. sweat continued to pour from my face into my lap until it look like I had pilled all over myself.

I exit the attic to see if I had fixed the problem (I did) and the customer says ‘oh was it hot up there or something?’- annoyed I say “YES! it’s like sitting in a hot car with the windows rolled up, go up there”.

what’s scary about the attic situation to me is I have a high tolerance for a lot of things. generally you should take many breaks when working in an attic but I just want to get the job done and get the fuck out. so I’m sitting there being bleed to complete dehydration wondering… I wonder if I’m going to pass out- will I know if I’m about to? will it be to late when I notice a problem? well obviously I made it out alive but I might have cooked my brain a little.

today almost as bad- customer has a snowy pic on one tv.. while I fix it I ask, “is this the only tv with this problem?”. they tell me yes and everything else is fine. I get done and the guy says- “we have another tv thats not working”. I say… ‘what!? I asked you earlier if this was the only one!’. *sighs* so I ended up having to crawl around underneath this guys house because his shit was wired quite awful. I had to charge his ass for the call merely because he couldn’t tell me up front that he had another shit he wanted me to fix- thus putting me an extra hour behind schedule. not to mention making me get my clothes dirty.. haha.

I should be back tonight with a few things- right now it’s time to get back to it. I’m endowed with the pleasure of working in the rain the rest of the afternoon, yay for me…
