Wednesday, April 12: Training and Mild Weather

 Well, I don't think I stayed up that late but it was a little late so I couldn't  couldn't get up this morning. I didn't get out of bed till about 8:20 AM. I find it takes me at least an hour between the time I get up and  by the time I get to work. I think   hat's a fair guide. I missed my stop at 20th St. so I got off at 16th St. but the Starbucks   here was too crowded. I couldn't board the L at 15th in my usual spot because they have construction blocking half that   ntrance. I then went to the imitation Starbucks near Temple Center City campus. Theacronym   is stupid it's TUCC. It's pronounced like Frier Tuck.  I got to work and training was just about to start. So I signed in a half hour late.   I signed in when in the trainings and they had trouble with the sound for the projector and then the projector  just turned off and I we were let out a bit early for a break because they couldn't   et it together. I then took a vantage of that went to the Bodega and got some air. This person called me while I was waiting   n line at the Bodega and then they didn't answer and I hung up on him but apparently  it's a real phone call because I'm getting a voicemail. I'm using the mode to put the pictures in since there's no real decent   Internet inside this building here. The clouds are gathering but I think they're going to break up before it starts raining. 

We have a winner of the asshole the month, state edition!!!. His name is Mike Stack. He is a lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania. He commonly abuses his state police patrol driving around from place to place. He and his wife are abusive to them people who cook his meals for him and clean up after them at the lieutenant governors mansion. The Lieutenant Governor doesn't do shit and he makes a shitload of money.  He asked like an asshole!! congratulations Mike Stack and his prima donna wife . You both got to go!!!😡Anyhow after work I went to my appointment which I think went well and then I came cruising home to eat some leftovers I had in the fridge raider. They were very good I must say. I think it was absolutely delicious in fact. Well I made it through another hump day time to bid farewell. I did talk on the phone and took pictures.

Holloween: A Day with a Meeting, Moving, Melrose Park and Temple Football

hour since the bus. And it's just now you understand this is one of the accordion buses. There twice as long and unbelievably hard to go

into reverse. I then decided to catch a 32 bus is rolling down Fairmount

Here Comes the EL

Avenue. That bus was so incredibly slow it wasn't even funny. It took me 20 minutes just to get from

I just up and split and was really lucky to catch the 48 within five minutes of getting to the stop. I've sent messages to both Sharon and Pat to see where

place and filled up the truck for one trip. Then we drove back and got a second batch. There was

not enough  room in cab of the pickup so Pat and I walked back to Fairmount. There's a little bit of a verbal confrontation  @ at the self-storage place.

Unloading @ 24th Street

I missed that as it went on. But overall the move went smoothly. I was

change of clothes from Pat. I then walked to try to catch the train

EL at 40th Street

to Melrose Park by 530 but missed it by maybe two minutes when I finally got the Jefferson Station. So

instead of taking the Warminster train tomorrow spark I'm now taking the west Trenton train to Melrose Park. That's OK, I can sit and relax for a bit and blog. Well I went to Amy's. I tempted to fix her computer. The computer is so funky. She drew up Microsoft Word documents but

there's no sign of any Microsoft Word or Microsoft office in general. All her documents are now PDFs

which cannot be altered. We split a pizza which was tasty and I had an iced tea. We decided then we can

watch temple and we caught the second half. Temple was behind the whole game. They led 20 to 17 in the 4 Qtr, but Notre Dame  marched down the field. I missed that touchdown cause  I had to catch a train home.

It was a pretty good game during the second half. I missed the first half. No I caught the train and I decided

to hang out at suburban station and charge my phone a little bit so I have enough to get home. I'm thankful it's not raining or cold outside. I'm also thankful I'm clean.

Well it's now 12:28 AM and I'm waiting to 50 to 2 K Blvd. to catch the 33 bus which is my best bet according to the Google maps. I am quite tired and ready to go to bed.

I see template Notre Dame fans filing past as a wait here on a cool Saturday night. I'm charged up to 15% on

my phone after sitting at suburban station. I now just want to get home and crash pretty bad. 32 bus came right

on time and is going to let me off at Pennsylvania Avenue near 25th St. It's a pretty direct route home. At home talk to Sharon brush my teeth good night. Good night to daylight savings time as of 2 AM
