Brain Fuel needed................

The need for brain fuel is becoming a bit of a emergency. No, really I am serious! I don't know if I am thinking to hard at work, or if the fresh paint fumes from the bedroom hallway are effecting me, or if I have killed to many brain cells with my wine drinking but my ability to focus long enough to post just ain't been here. It is kinda like my get up and go - got up and left without me. But, even though I have been MIA I haven't been just slacking off. At work I have been working diligently on this rather hideous project I was given back in October that will be finishing up by the end of next month. For so long the light at the end of the tunnel has been a oncoming train at work. I am absolutely not going to complain though - because I am grateful to have a job in this economy. It is amazing and a blessing that with the size of the company I work for that we have been spared job cuts so far. We have been given notice that our yearly increase is on hold for now and will be reviewed at the end of the second quarter. Heck, as far as I am concerned if they can guarantee us a job for the year they should keep our increase. There are very few job openings in my area so to find a job I would be commuting to Milwaukee or to Chicago. Either way you looked at it - it would not be good for my road rage issues. I don't really have road rage but I do cuss at idiots that drive slow in the fast lane, idiots that pull out in front of me knowing I will have to brake for them instead of them waiting till I pass, idiots that don't use their turn signal when they are actually turning (switching lanes doesn't require a signal), idiots that don't move to the middle of the intersection when waiting to turn (hence I get stuck waiting for the light again). Yikes, maybe I do need to attend traffic class on becoming a "happy driver" Naaahhh!
Just in case your still holding your breath with me while my taxes are being prepared - you can exhale now. The taxes are completed and I am so very happy to inform you that I will not need to take out a loan to pay the IRS like last year. That's right my friends my bill isn't even four digits. Yep, you heard me correct - not even four digits! I believe a glass of wine is in order to celebrate. Oh wait the brain cells. Damn, I guess I am just going to be dumb. But don't worry I couldn't drink enough wine to make me as dumb as those yahoo democrats that are in office now. Well, before I go off on a tirade about politics and get myself all worked up I best wrap this up and go take me a bubble bath........
