Hot Stalker Chicks

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

I’m being stalked. 

There are people out there that have a nefarious idea in their minds, and it involves me. From what I can gather, they are trying to get cash out of me. Who are these miscreants? There’s a band of them on Twitter, and they’re after me. The one that started it all is @frizzle_fry. She would always know exactly where I was, and would taunt me with it. Fortunately, she’s in another state so I never got too worried. Then she started recruiting.

Before too long, she had @franklin5 after me too. This was a bit more concerning, as @franklin5 is in Dallas, which is where I’m currently hiding. I have even met Mrs. F5 in person, which makes this all the more concerning. I think that it was actually the new recruit that suggested trying to profit from the stalking. This makes me wonder what exactly @frizzle_fry had in mind when she started the stalking. Shortly after the two ladies teamed up, they got even more help. Next thing I knew, @lizwebpage was on the stalking bandwagon. Being Liz, she immediately started telling all of her friends, and even trying to recruit more people. Also, around this time, they decided to make the stalking progress easier by using hashtags. Not one, not two, but three. It was rather scary, they were starting to get organized. They even moved the stalking beyond Twitter, and started commenting on what I was doing on Facebook too. They were all over the place. Everywhere I went, they were right there behind me.

I’m currently hiding in an undisclosed location, hoping to stay safe. There appear to have also started stalking my pal @thronkus, and even a mention of Johnny Depp. I don’t know how long these distractions will last, though. They seem to be watching me at all times. Wish me luck, my friends, for I don’t know how long it’ll be before they find me.

Wow What a Week

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Last week was a very tiring week. It’s not necessarily that I did a lot, but just the combination of being so busy at work and not feeling too well made it feel pretty bad. All of the week I was training a new girl at work. That meant that for the whole week, I was sitting with someone and going 8+ hours a day of covering all sorts of different stuff. To make matters more fun, there are a number of things that I’m showing her how to do that I’m literally learning myself as I teach her. It was a big mental toll as we were going hard and non-stop.  Since I’m only going to be in town working for a few weeks, we are trying to make sure that we cover as much as possible while I’m still here.

The crazy working wouldn’t be bad if it didn’t coincide with me getting my spring time cold. Every year around this time I seem to get a cold. It lasts about a week or so, and is very annoying. It doesn’t usually do me in too badly, but it is exhausting. It also means that I wasn’t able to do much of anything after work. I’ve been trying to go out with friends as much as I can while I’m in town, and I lost a whole week since I wasn’t feeling well.  Oh well, I’d rather be healthy. 

A side effect from the week, I think, is that my brain just seems to be complete mush. I just am not thinking clearly, nor acting right. I’m hoping to get myself back on track this week, though. That’s partly why these last couple posts have been pretty meh. Maybe I’ll find something to rant about soon. That usually sparks decent writing from me.
