Funny thing is...

     I have nothing to actually say.  Not really.  Rambly stuff.  Think I just wanted see if I could, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.  Yesterday?
     Always strange to return after a day off.  Is it the same for everyone.  People always seem a bit off, or odd if you must.
     Let's see.  Superbowl talk.  Loony co-worker rambling, asking questions and talking over answers.  Making sure to let everyone know where she was and had a good time.  Dude who makes super bowl boxes in my department won a few boxes on his sheet. 
     I chimed in that I'd almost won the second quarter until the touchdown.  Just some regular stuff in the area I usually work.  Manager and other co-worker were there talking.  I pretty much listened.
     Music stuff about which I know very little.  Not into it.  I've learned more being silent than ever just opening my mouth.  Don't get me wrong, I'm always welcome to interject in, just prefer not to.
     For the first time I wore headphones and listened to a pod cast.  It was uncomfortable for me.  Didn't care for the experience.  Even though 1 co-worker was on lunch and talking to someone.  It's isolating in a way I no longer want to be isolated.
A large part of my job there was isolated from the majority of everyone.  Ran a huge noisy machine.  Wore headphones listening to music, pod casts, radio, at all times.
     Once I came more upfront, I was politely discouraged from continuing the practice.  And I can see why, I guess.  Now I just don't.  I may try again today, as I have a very isolated task.  Think manager will be upstairs, other co-worker will be in another part.  Today may be a better day for it.  We'll see.
     Need to get gas.  Made a note in IPhone yesterday to order cigars.  Oh yes the phone.  Did I mention I got it to ring.  The Internet is so damned useful.  Long story short the recommendation was to remove it from case to see if mute button was on.  Got case opened, flipped switch, phone now rings.  I was rather bothered that I never heard my cousin call me on Sunday. 
     The phone and I are getting along.  I don't look at it constantly.  Probably because I don't want to.  Partially because I'm so against being one of those people that are always distracted by them.  I do not wish to become one of them. 
Later.
