For the last 3 months at work I have been working a 6:30 am to 3:30 pm Monday through Friday with Saturdays and Sundays off. I loved that shift and it was nice to go home while the sun was still up.
Well, as of late there has been allot of calls coming in with people and there broken computers. So many calls in fact that we have been putting in allot of over time. Now with that my schedule has changed and will be like this until May. So to compensate for all the calls coming in I will be working Monday and Tuesday, off Wednesday and Thursday, Work Friday and Saturday and off on Sunday. The time frame is 8:00 am to 7:00pm. So now I am working 10 hour shifts with 4 days of work. Its not bad really. I like the fact that I can now do something that needs taken care of during the week. Although I must admit that when that last hour on the second day hits I get excited to have a day off soon and not have to wait until Saturday.

Iron Chef
Well Heather and I are on the road to recovery of this lousy no good sickness, all I have left is this awful cough that according to my wife I sound like my grandpa Moncur when he would cough. Well, here's to you Grandpa.
We have spent every weekend at home working on getting better and sometimes I feel cooped up and out of sync with the world. I have been going to work but the drive has been horrible. We are still under an inversion and we have had fog here for the last 10 days. When I drive to work in the morning I can only see about 5 feet ahead of me. Like in Heathers post I can't wait for summer time to.
I am not sure if any of you have seen this show on TV but its called Iron Chef America. Heather has really gotten into this show. What happens is 4 top Chefs that have been named Iron chef are selected to compete against ameture Chefs. They also have a master of ceremonies that does back flips up to his podium, and screams at the top of his lungs like a crazy China man.(that's always a thrill) sometime down the road when he is back flipping he is going to miss. Anyway These people have to cook up something using secret ingredients. Some ingredients have been pretty nasty looking.
So tonight I am in the kitchen making dinner for Heather and I and she is watching Iron Chef, now here are pros making sauce and what not from scratch and here I am frying up hamburger for spaghetti and using Hunts spaghetti sauce, the sauce you can trust. Kind of reminds you of wild Hickory nuts, You know I may not be a professional Chef, but In the words of my father "Reminds me when I was working at Antwan's. (family members will get that joke). I made a pretty mean spaghetti dinner tonight and that's just fine. I am not sure if it will have the same after effect as my brothers Salomi club sandwich but you never now.

Maybe next time I make dinner I will do a few back flips for Heather and land on a podium and serve dinner while screaming like a crazy China man. Just call me IRON CHEF GARY.

Been sick for a little bit.
Ever since New Years eve I have been sick. so that is the reason I have not updated the blog in a while. Heather was sick during the Christmas week and I was being a nurse for her and well that is how I got it. I have Bronchitis and a nice big sinus infection. Heather is now being a wonderful nurse for me. We just got back from the doctors and we are both on anti-biotic
s. I am still not feeling all that well so I don't have a great story for you but I do have something that might help out. Hope you like it. I call it, can't fix stupid.
