UCW bruin dung kicked around by Florida.

Try again next year bruins of Westwood. You are now a life member of Loserville. You guys are used to it anyway. All that win for nothing. Might as well give it up. They should rename your public school to UC Westwood. It's a disgrace to keep the Los Angeles name. All the fans that hoped and prayed. All they got was a big fat zero. Disgusting. Repulsive. Yuck.

Gotta love spring.

The weather is sooo nice. I'm off for 3 days and I'm not even thinking of picking up a shift. Hey what's that? some Filipino guy on a Home Depot commercial. He spoke with a Filipino accent. Too bad Home Depot's in the ban list. Gazillion people are pissed as they are now understaffing their stores and there are no one there to help you. OSH is my store, use it then return it. LOL.

To tell you the truth who can live without cable t.v.? Broadcast t.v. sucks. Cable rocks. To compensate from the total coach totatoness I get to be, I moved my spinner bike next to the t.v. and the same with the workout machine.

Gas prices are up again $3.17 for unleaded and $3.45 for super unleaded. Arrghh! I better sell all the cars and get a bike. Jeez. Lousie.

Until next year...

There goes another year in basketball for the Trojans. The tar heels won by 10 points. I saw the last 40 seconds of the game. I thought it was scheduled for Saturday. Ooops, it was today.
Nothings lost. CSI reruns are more interesting.

Forgot to set up my alarm...

I woke up at 6:30 am today. Thirty mins late for work and another 30 mins late because I need to shower and take the dog out to eat and do numbers 1 & 2. The older Sarge get the stinkier his waste products are and so he doesn't get much house exposure anymore. He gets out twice a day to do his thing and get exercise. I saw a black cat in my backyard this morning. Yup, the nasty animal that poops and pees in my backyard. I need to setup something to drive this illegal alien of my yard.

Work is getting better with great patients and good CNAs. The evil CNA is still around and until she gets fired, I will just keep complaining about her. She refuses to help one of my tetraplegic patient. I made sure the assistant director knows about her behavior. I also need to write her up as no action happens if no one writes up anything. Management always tell us, write it up. Arrgh, frustrating.

My patient assignments are great though. Nice, appreciative, civilized, and educated people. I don't mind working hard because I only hear good, positive things from them. After some time with negative, thankless, barbaric, and stupid patients, it's nice to get some great ones.

The two star tetraplegics that we have are gone. The race boat idiot that bossed everybody in the hospital was one of them. Some poor sap nursing home took him even with a stage 4 sore in his butt. That's a bed sore that is bone deep. This poor fellow's better of with his creator. The butt sore will just eat his alive. The other PIA (pain in the ass) was riding his bike when he lost control and hit a retaining wall. Ouch... he askes for pain meds every 2 hours. It's okay if he's nice but he's not. His family is super. They are nice and very pleasant to deal with. They even fed me cake. Okay, I know that's like a bribe but I'm easy. LOL.

USC makes it to sweet 16.

I really don't think my old alma mater will make it to the final four but hey they made it to the first stage of the NCAA Finals. Not bad. I'm happy with a little feeling of pride.

The cross town rival is highly ranked and more likely to make it to the Final Four but it's not hard to ask for divine intervention for their demise. I loath any kind of success on their part.

Keep going young Trojans. Lets start a new dynasty in college basketball.

Husband Wanted (posted from VAJOE.com)

A lonely widow, aged 70, decided that is was time to get married again. She put an ad in the local newspaper that read:

HUSBAND WANTED:

MUST BE IN MY AGE GROUP (70s), MUST NOT BEAT ME, MUST NOT RUN AROUND ON ME,AND MUST STILL BE GOOD IN BED ! ALL APPLICANTS PLEASE APPLY IN PERSON.

On the second day she heard the doorbell. Much to her dismay, she opened the door to see a gray-haired gentleman a Vietnam Vet sitting in a wheel chair. He had no arms or legs.

"You're not really asking me to consider you, are you ?" the widow said. "Just look at you... You have no legs!"

The old gentleman smiled, "Therefore, I cannot run around on you !"

"You don't have any arms either!" she snorted. Again, the old man smiled, "Therefore, I can never beat you!"

She raised an eye-brow and asked intently, "Are you still good in bed ??"

The old man leaned back, beamed a big smile and said, "I rang the door bell, didn't I?"

The wedding is scheduled for Saturday.

Fifty-One Days

A bartender is sitting behind the bar on a typical day, when the door bursts open and in come four exuberant Marines. They come to the bar and order five bottles of beer and ten glasses. They take their order over and sit down at the large table. The caps are popped, the glasses are filled and they begin toasting and chanting, "51 days, 51, days, 51 days!"

Two more Marines show up and soon their voices are joined in raising the roof, "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!!"

Finally the tenth Marine comes in with a picture under his arm, he walks over to the table, and sets the picture in the middle and the table erupts. Up jump the others, they begin dancing around the table, exchanging high-fives, all the while chanting, "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!"

The bartender can't contain his curiosity any longer, so he walks over to the table. There in the center is a beautifully framed child's puzzle of the cookie monster. When the frenzy dies down a little bit the bartender asks one of the Marines, "What's all the chanting and celebration about?"

The Marine who brought the picture pipes in, "Everyone thinks that Marines are dumb and they make fun of us. So, we decided to set the record straight. Ten of us got together, bought this puzzle and put it together. The side of the box said 2-4 years, but we put it together in 51 day."

Keeping your Windows 98, 98SE, Me stable.

I have a 9 year old desktop Windows computer. A Compaq Athelon 500Mhz. 500 FSB computer. It was the fastest computer utilizing the new 32 bit processor that month of 1998 and I just have to have it.

It worked ok. Crashing is it's middle name and windows 98 se was unstable. I have a PowerMac G3 that is way more stable but doesn't have the resources the PC have on the net. I upgraded it to the max with extra HDD, video card, and extra RAM that is beyond what the manufacturer recommends. It was fun to upgrade.

Well to make it stable you have to go here.

Following the instructions will make my old clunker stable for years to come.

Helping friends to let go.

I found an old telephone list and found a number of an old friend from the old aerospace job. I dialed the number but it was no longer in service. I searched the internet for the new area code of Palmdale, Ca. Used the number and found out that he still have that number. I left a message and early this afternoon he called me back.

I found out that he still works for Boeing and is presently a janitor. Huhh? I can't believe it. Found out that he finished nursing school but has not passed the board exam. He failed twice and didn't try again. He landed various aerospace jobs and was waiting for top secret clearance for months. As he waits they gave him a janitor job. He told me he will empty garbage cans for an hour and a half then sits on his behind the rest of the day.

I told him needs to let that job go and get an LVN or CNA license. Jobs in nursing are numerous and he already posses a nursing degree. After half an hour on trying to convince him about getting out of aerospace, he thanked me for restoring his self worth. Boeing hasn't been honest with him and has made promises they haven't kept. He lives in Palmdale and presently rents a room in Anaheim to keep the janitor job. He gets way less than what CNAs make.

He can get the LVN license then work on his RN. I told him about opportunities in nursing and he's convinced he needs to look it up again. It's been 11 years since he got his degree but they are good indefinitely. Hospitals will train anyone with a license.

I also told him that we need to network as there are other opportunities that is outside our profession. Time to let go I told him. Don't let the past hold him down. I'm glad I'm out of aerospace. No regrets here.
