I thought I was looking forward to the July 4 holiday weekend. I am now so dreading the next two days.

1. My wife is in Kansas with her family (and her brother's girlfriend). They'll be back late Monday night.
2. I worked today (Saturday). I was hoping that our call volume would be light today. It was. I took one call. It was a short one. I never knew how quickly time passed when you're helping save someone's job. The rest is mind-numbingly dull.
3. I work tomorrow (Sunday). That's right. No July 4th off for me. My schedule changed from Tuesday-Saturday to Sunday-Thursday this weekend. Yep. I'm scheduled to work from Tuesday 6/29 through Thursday 7/8. I also start working a later shift. Well, by an hour. Instead of 6am-3pm, I'm now 7am-4pm. Just later enough to make traffic a living nightmare.
4. I am off Monday July 5. Paid holiday. That's the only thing keeping me SANE right now is knowing that I won't ACTUALLY work 10 straight days. However, I don't have anything going on Monday (see #1 above), and I can't stay out late that night (see #1 above again) so unless I get inspired to do something outlandish (not likely) I'll proabaly mope around the house in my underwear reading a book or somesuch.

I did find a few things that aren't boring:
1. I'm in my 8th month of maintaining this blog. That's something of a record for me. Keeping up with something that requires regular maintenance for an extended period.
2. I've put up a new and completely different blog - Things I Wish I Had Known. It's my geek blog of documentation of doing geeky stuff with computers. Unless you need information about integrating Macs into a Windows network environment, you'll probably find it very, very dull. Boring, perhaps. But not to me.
3. Ummmm, what was #3?

Joy...
