Working for the man

So when I have rough days at work I find comfort in letting my mind wander to thoughts of softball and thinking about that. And there have been more rough days lately, but that's mostly my fault. I don't go to bed early enough, andI pay the price. Working sat 6am-2:30pm is nice, but I need to go to bed on time.
I have gotten into the unfortunate habit of sleeping at work. And that's not good. But the first week back after the new year we have had no work. And the guy I'm training with will talk to me some and kind of show me some stuff here and there, but that can only last so long without actually work to demonstrate it with. So he likes to wander and chat it up with people and what not. Well, I'm just dead weight to this social butterfly and I get left in the room all by my lonesome. I will play on the computer some, but there's not a lot I can do because I don't have the internet, just the intranet. So, I check out PPG's stock price. Read up on the cafeteria menu, check out the different locations of PPG and look at the job postings. That gets old pretty fast, so I'll take naps. And the guy I'm training with didn't really mind. But our boss came him, and he didn't really mind so much but he didn't want someone else coming in and seeing me sleep. So, i try not to do that anymore. And there's been more work lately. But the last thing I want to do is blow this opportunity! So i need to make a concerted effort to become an old man and get more of a set schedule. It's hard enough to do it now, i am not excited for summertime when there are a ton of people around to hang out with.
I entered a new age today when I ordered Papa John's online. I could get use to this! (Bad idea) I almost signed up for a free month of Blockbuster online but I realized the last time I signed up for a "free month" i commited myself to a gym for 3 years. That was a bad idea! More to come
