It's going to happen.

     No I've not abandoned the cell phone thing.  In fact it will continue tomorrow.  That is the nice part about having it finished.  Except for the fact that I could have done a better job.  You'll live.  Just thought I'd talk about this week so far.

     Sister was supposed to be released from the hospital Monday.  So glad she wasn't.  Got belted with a pretty nice snow storm.  Got into work a little late so missed my gym time.  Had about an inch in the parking lot, good to see they hadn't done any prep work.  I mean the pick up we have with the plow, was sitting snow covered in the loading dock.

     The crazy co-worker came in.  There's a whole sub story there so we'll just say I encouraged her to go home.  Got a phone call from my sister, they would be holding her until Tuesday.  Good that was off my mind.

     The building was still empty.  By 10 most of the people, not many, who came in left.  Few departments were still there.  Ours and legal of course.  The email went out about 11 that it was encouraged for us to stay and work from home if we could.  Otherwise use our own discretion.  We could go home, that would mean of course using a day off.

     The word was that the legal department was dicing over the wording of the announcement.  Ahh lawyers.  And think about it.  Sort of shows they care, well in a twisted way. They'd of course loose money if they closed the building.  Just think of all the people they would have to pay.  So by 12 when the announcement came, only the people remaining would be taken care of.  The amount was less than 50.

     Making rounds of course came across 1 typical person.  Who'd apparently no clue it was going to snow.  They needed gas.

     I left about 1:10, manager was staying.  By the parking lot I could tell we'd started the plowing.  My car was now surrounded by at least a foot of snow rubble.  Gee thanks.  Cleaned off the car, let it warm.  I was good to go.  Oh I should mention I'd not thought to bring my work boots.  So all this was done in my sneakers.  

     Couldn't make it forward.  Checked my rear and backed out of the spot beautifully. Took forever to spell that last word of that sentence.  I lit up a cigar I'd brought with me and drove home.  Side roads were worrisome.  The highway I did about 45 in the right hand lane.  Must say we did the least braking there too.

     I'd hoped as I got down the side streets that maybe one of my neighbors had plowed my driveway.  Really hoped.  Slightly disappointed I parked across the street and trudged up to the garage.  Snow blower?  Check.  Gas, please? Check.  I was good to go.

     It was a heavy wet snow but the blower did what it was supposed to.  20 minutes later I was parked in my driveway.  Good times.  Called sister and manager to let them know I'd arrived.

     Tuesday was gorgeous, in a February kind of way.  Brother in law got sister home.  Had a relaxing drive back here and made dinner.  Course they were fighting last night.  As I went to sleep that is.

     Today the road is covered again.  Supposed to be some sort of icy crap.  Shall be a fun ride.  Yes I'm going in.  I really don't have any days off right now.  Besides being stuck here with them doesn't sound the least bit appealing.  And another storm is supposed to hit on Sunday into Monday again.  Weeeee!

Virtual space waste.

     The title is a tad misleading. I just felt the flow of it.  I was having a discussion about 'virtual memory' recently.

     My last computer, a gateway, would always give me warnings about being low on 'virtual memory'.  I would counter the box with the idea of; "It's virtual, meaning it doesn't really exist, therefore should be unlimited."
     
     To no avail however.  Wouldn't imagination fall into the virtual category?  Does that mean ones imagination is limited?  I chose the second definition offered by Websters on line.
 
generated by computer: simulated by a computer for reasons of economics, convenience, or performance.

     That clears what up exactly?  Not to sure.  Okay, generated by computer.  That makes sense.  Simulated by?  Well If it is simulated...am I just to dense to think this through at 4:20 in the morning.

     If it is generated or simulated then it is not an actual thing.  The hard drive is a thing.  Something tangible.  The memory chips inside the computer are tangible.  This virtual memory seems intangible.  Thus how can it be limited?

     Our imaginations could never be considered limited.  They are by very definition intangible.  Ahh well.  That's the thought that has kept with me to post an entry.

     Should be bringing home my sister today.  She was upset that no one called her at the hospital last night.  Understandable.  Usually my brother in laws job.  Oh well.  So a half day at work for me.  

     Going to make some meatloaf for dinner, exciting no?  Alright I'm out.

    Really trying to gather my thoughts.  Let's see I've got something working in the drafts about a hilarious event that took place.  Problem is 2 fold.  Really difficult for people to get a handle on the lunacy of it without an introduction to my co-worker.  Not something you could just read cold you know.  
   
     Monday was simply an awesome day for me.  Had one of the single best work out days I've had in 3 or 4 years.  And then work was busy as Hell.  Moving a lot of stuff physically, felt great to be able to do that again.  Was to exhausted to mow the lawn when I got home, slept great.

     Tuesday.  That is another story.  Does not affect me, but cannot go into it in this time frame.  So I've the thoughts and stuff to write about.  Just don't have the capacity for it, if that is what I mean at all.  

     I don't mind a rambling blog, I'm quite fond of them actually.  There are things however that require cohesive thought.  That is what I have not had the capacity to do for the last few days.  Even now I'm reminding myself I've no lunch, and need to wash container to bring a snack to work in.

     Just a bunch of jumbled thoughts.  Oh and I want to be able to leave on time to make the gym of course.  There is cohesion there let's talk about the gym.

     Firstly I've not joined one, still using the one at my job.  We're down a treadmill so 1 isn't available to me when I get there.  I've felt I have needed more.  Emboldened by my last city adventure.  So I decided to use the elliptical machine.

     Was a great 30 minute experience.  Legs felt great.  I'm thinking I may actually may have started up again last week.  Well my legs are feeling much stronger now which I needed.  Especially when you consider that on Monday the elevator was broken.  I work in the concourse, office buildings don't say basement apparently.  The loading dock is the floor above.  So yes, many, many, many trips up the stairs.  But that is besides the point.

     When I was done I wanted something more.  So I used a machine for the arms.  Nothing huge, triceps and quads I think.  When I say nothing huge, I mean 20lbs.  3 reps of 10.  Was pleasant.

     Upped the level on Tuesday which was pleasant.  Oh thank goodness for pod casts, otherwise I don't know how I'd last on the damned machine.  Worked on the biceps a bit.  Today back to the other machine after the elliptical.  I remember something about not working the same group of muscles two days in a row if you don't have to.

     I'm looking for toning and a little more muscle mass.  Hoping to drop a few pounds before my cardiologist appointment at months end.  Other than that stuff is, hectic.  Hopefully will be back to explain.  And maybe get the preamble to the draft story finished. 

Later. 
 Oh and spell check button may be back, but it is now terrible.  Hope they fix it.
