11:35 pm	My first... business trip is coming up in August. August 14th to be exact. Actually, I won't return to Chattanooga for 2 months, so that means I will be returning to Chattanooga on, or around, October 15th. Now is the point you should say "where the fuck are you going for so long?". That is a reasonable question and that answer is......MANILA, PHILIPPINES. Thats right my first business and international trip, not including Canada, is plus 12 hours from Chattanooga time. I have an all expense trip provided by Cigna, my employer, to train those who would take some of our jobs. Well, in a dog eat dog world, I need this for my resume. The plus side though is a 5 star resort where I actually get to pick the type of pillow I want to sleep on. mmmmm. I wonder if little James (no, not that little James. I mean James as in Jess and James) would have any advice. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

9:28 pm	I just stole this from Shar_Katie Are you a Yankee or Rebel test. I scored a "29% Dixie. You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy." Oddly enough, most of my words come from the Great Lakes region....mmmmm Apparently, the term "Devil's Night" is used mostly in Michigan only....for those that don't know its Holloween Eve. I guess it comes from Michiganders setting fire to neighborhoods and looting them the night before Holloween. At least in Detroit. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

4:13 pm	Jury Duty I just completed a trial today. We found the defendant guilty of rape. The girl was 15 years old at the time. Matter of fact, tomorrow is the one year mark of it happening. I complained a lot because I had a lot of work to do. There are some things more important in life like giving justice to a young woman, maybe some peace, and hopefully some healing. I past them leaving the parking garage. The joy and happiness displayed when shouting thank you will be something I will remember always when I need a perspective.

8:34 am	Stream of Thought Well I've been up a whole hour now, drinking coffee, and wishing for damn smoke. I've been smoke free for one and half months. Everyday since I applied for that promotion, I've wanted a cig, but I know I can't or its back to smelling like a fucking ashtray. Personally, I hate smelling like that and its my primary motivation to quit. If others choose to smoke, that is their right. I don't want people think that since I quit I am better, or somehow superior than they. A lot of ex-whatevers get this damn attitude of holier than thou. I want to kill them. I worked yesterday morning, mo money mo money mo money. As with all large corps, I leave my soul at that the door. If a person was to have a soul while working in cube-land, then you will go crazy, postal, and go to jail (mental health facility) for a very very long time. I like a lot of the people I work with, so that s an advantage, however there some retards that work there. They have nothing better to do than make up stories about people's lives and pass it on. My friends Colette and Tara go out every weekend to have fun. Thats cool, bully for them. Now, word has it that they are lesbian lovers. No matter how much that thought appeals to me, they are not lesbians lovers. It was funny, but that is how boring some people's lives are. ahhh life is much better now with ESPN back on the tv, eventually, I will watch Battlestar Galactica, but for now, the sound of sports is comforting. I could watch a movie, or clean the apartment. Today has soooo much possibilities. My friend, Amanda, might call to go see a movie after she gets out of church, or another friend might call if she can get off campus today, who knows what lies with today. Or I just might read, read, and more read as I did yesterday. Well, the subject warned you that this was sorta of Stream of Thought thing, so there you have it. (6 Comments |Comment on this)

11:45 am	This week was hell. First, was preparing for my interview which I nailed. So, there is a strong possibility of a job promotion and raise coming into my future. Though I will not hold my breath for "that just in case." The only thing I am dreading about this new job, is the travel. Apparently, this position may have to travel some, not a lot, but that some could be up to 12 weeks. This is a new addition to that role. It wasn't like that before. Now that would blow. Oh well. After that, I found out we are on Overtime for the next month, after three weeks already. Mo' money, mo' money, mo' money. Saturday I went out with a friend. She was basically dumped, and made a fool of, from this guy, who I set those two together. What sucks is I am friends with ALL parties involved. When did I go back to fucking high school? I hated high school then and I hate it now. Why can't people just be damn honest with each other? If you want to see other people, grow a pair and state it. Don't say I need to "find myself" and "hide under the covers" when you are actually going to fuck some other woman. Maybe I am better off being single. Its seems in today's society there is no room for honesty, honor, and integrity. Have all the "empowerment" taught these days have removed everybody's damn backbones, and neutered/spaded a whole generation of men and women. I don't know, I don't have the answer. I don't even know why I am ranting about this. Well, thats life. Later folks. James Current Mood: aggravated Current Music: Not at the moment. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

Anyhoooo, what is happening on the Mountain that is James. This biggest is preparing for a huge job promotion interview that is occurring this coming Thursday. Thats the biggest thing right now. I finally got settled from my move last Dec. To those I met at Chattacon, please drop me a line if ya want.

8:28 pm	mmmm I don't know Well, I know its been awhile since I posted anything, but I've been busy. I went to my friend's Halloween party and got Chattacon Drunk. For those in the know, they know what I mean by Chattacon drunk. Then a bunch of nothing happened. Won some at poker then lost some, but won more than I lost. Then I went home for Thanksgiving. Home being Michigan, and went to Chicago to see my sister. My 8 am flight out of Atlanta turned out to be a 8 pm flight, got it changed. That was suck #1. Then when I got there, it snowed, rained, iced, and thundered stormed all week. Suck #2. The best part of the week was helping my sister with the cooking and sitting my mother down and telling her she wasn't doing a damn thing. That particular meal was enough to make up for Suck 1 and 2. Now, I am doing nothing. Just doing a stream of thought thing. Now I am done. MT JAMES Current Mood: ditzy Current Music: Clarinet Sonatas by Brahms (3 Comments |Comment on this)

8:02 pm	Another day in the life of... Well, here I am again. Being intouch with so many people that I have missed over the years is great. If you want to see the list, go to the friends page thingie. I am not fluent with LJ yet. Saturday night I vented some stress from work and personal life with some Jack and Cokes, 2 Four Horsemen, and beer. Its been awhile since I had a good round of drinking. I think the last time I got as drunk was Chattacon, my annual rite of drunken hedonism. I felt so much better Sunday after that. Thanks to Josh P. for the D.D. I couldn't walk, let alone drive. Sunday was American Football. Mmmmmm, I missed just sitting around and watching football, no beer or like substances though. I have an office football league at the office, CIGNA. I am kicking their butts, and I don't even get to drop my worst week. I feel bad I missed the Barrel though. I should've thought at looking at Holly and RevJim's page for a time, but all I saw when I went there was the plan. It would've been like the old days of hanging out, and drinking. At least for those of us who were old enough at the time, and sometimes those who weren't. Well, I am not going to bore you with the details of my life as a Cigna employee. Till the next time.

6:52 pm	Old Friends and New.... Well, here is my first damn entry. I vowed I would never blog my life out, but peer pressure is a pain. "I want to be an individual, like all my friends." To those I've known for years and haven't seen, YES I AM STILL ALIVE. To those I see more often, you can keep up with my most boring life on this page. For those not in the know, the MtJames nickname came from Chattacon. I am a really tall, big individual. Anyway, the saying goes something like this, "COME!!!!!!! Climb the Mountain that is the James". And yes, there are all sorts of sexual references that's implied. Well, maybe my little LJ will get more lively once I get into the groove of changing colors, avatars, and all. Best wishes from the Mountain. MtJames.
