Hmmmmm . . .

What to write about . . . Often I use blogging on myspace to express concern or outrage at whatever is going on in the world. I'm not outraged at the moment so I'll tell you about my week so far.

I work out-of-town sometimes in the booming metropolis of Safford, Arizona. When I arrived this time, there was nothing for me to do for two days. It sounds pretty great, especially because I get paid whether I do any actual work or not, but it is pretty boring. Well, given too much free time and I will find a way to get into T*R*O*U*B*L*E. Firstly, I got my truck stuck . . . twice . . . in two days. I had to be rescued by the drillers, who now think I'm stupid. Well, they probably already thought that, but leave it to me to confirm my own incompetence. The first time I got stuck in the mud. My only question is WHO PUT MUD IN THE DESERT?!?! The second time I wasn't paying attention while driving and ran my truck up on the rock berm on the side of the "road". While trying to remove the rocks that prevented further movement, I smashed the middle finger on my right hand so hard that the finger nail cut into the tip of my finger. It is pretty nasty y'all. A big chunk of skin is slowly dying and falling off. Oh, I'm sorry, are you sensitive? Anyway I gave up the struggle and walked down to the drill rig and got help. Arg.

Other than those tid bits, I'm just looking at rocks and trying to keep out of the mud and off the side of the road. At this point I'm just biding my time 'til I get to go back to Phoenix.
