i need your help.
i’m at a loss here at work. they have some gay web blocking software. its called websense. i need a way around it. so if you guys know of a proxy site or something, lemme know. it’s not even that i want to look at dirty pictures, or d/l illegal media, go to myspace or anything like that, i just hate being blocked from a forum that would tell me how to fix my tv, or things of that nature. the software blocks out certain categories, such as forums, entertainment, general email, etc. and theres a lot of sites out there that fall into all these blocked categories. i actually tried to look up something work related once, and was unable to find the answer to my solution because it was blocked. so anyhow, you guys that have the internet at your home, or are not blocked from every freakin’ site known to man while you are at work, please do some research for me. i’ll give you one free S/S 1/4-20x1.5 HCS.

yawn, i’m tired.
i should probably write about something more upbeat, since it seems as though i always rant, and seem pissed off about shit. but the three of you reading this know me, then you probably know i am always pissed off about something. i’m a pessimist. i’m 25 years old. still just a wee lad, really. and as i look into my future, it’s just depressing, and i’m sure i’m not the only one that gets sad thinking about the long hours of work i’ve already put forth since i was old enough to do work. i’m even counting those yards i raked, or mowed when i was 12 to 15. although it was only twice a month or so that i did it.
but then i think back to the bilo days where i started working only 15-20 hours a week during school. once out of high school, that went up to 30-35 hours, sometimes 40 hours a week.
now i’m up to over 50 a week..with one day off. i’ve been doing this for 1.5 years now. i know one day i might have a 40 hour week..but i’m not really seeing that happen. if i stay at ups, i know i wont get 40 hours a week for along time. perhaps at fastenal i could get 40, but i don’t know. anyway you look at it, i’ll still be working for the next 30 years or whatever. i’ll be 55. some great life we have. working, paying bills, keeping up the house, making people happy. i’m tired of it. is it just me that looks at life this way? or does everyone else do it too, only not complaining as much? surely i’m not the only one thats pissed off about all the bullshit we were put here to do. maybe i’ll buy a lottery ticket and win big.
