Where is my postgame alert?!
Second day…
Another hot day outside. Ye gods! Work was groovy. I’m in the watching and doing some stuff stage. It’s cool. I like my supervisor. She’s groovy. 😉 Hopefully very soon I know enough to do things on my own. Until then, I’m in the absorbing state…
“Why Do Fools” by Pinay
The A’s are in the bottom of the ninth as I write. Shoot, maybe the game is over. I’m “watching” MLB’s Gameday. 😛
Yes, it was my “first” day at work. It’s actually my first day in the processing office. Yeehaw, paperwork! The day went by pretty fast. I got to call a couple of people. As long as I have an idea of what I have to say, I can call people. But sometimes I get a little freaked out. Oh well, it’ll pass as time goes by and I learn more stuff. Right?
[Two outs, one on, Kotsay up to bat.]
My Ryan site is revamped! I was so tired by the end of it last night. I like it and now I want to add to it. I added a new counter yesterday and it’s already over 1,000 hits. INSANE! All those Ryan fans. I love most of you, especially when you realize I AM NOT RYAN GOSLING! 😀
[Kotsay singled! Miller to second, Kotsay to first. Wow, are they trying to rally or what? Score, Toronto up 5-3.]
Anyhoo, I’ve been getting LOTS of Ryan oriented emails. I’ve made friends with a couple of them, most notably Marni in Manitoba. 😀 She’s super cool and we’re having great conversations via email. And then there’s Jenny who offered to help me with the site. Of course, she makes me feel a little old. She was born in freakin’ 1988! Hullo, I graduated high school in 1989. So that means, I’m old enough to be her young mother. YIKES!
I am getting sleepy and I want this game to end. But I want it to end with a win for my boys. Aaaack!
What else can I talk about?
Oh, Gmail rocks! I love getting emails to my Gmail accounts. Right, I have more than one. I couldn’t help it. My Ryan website email addy is a Gmail account. And someday, I might change the email addy to this weblog. I’m still undecided.
[Bastards, game over. GRRRR! I wonder how long before I get the postgame alert…]

SV – Octavio Dotel (19)
HR: CWS: J. Valentin (19), A. Rowand (11). OAK: B. Crosby (12).

I am always a happy camper when Mulder wins. Yes, I’m easy like that. 😉
I’m actually in the middle of revamping my Ryan Gosling site. Geez, what a task! The problem, of course, is that I moved the site to walelia.com, so now some of the links aren’t right. Plus I wanted to change the layout. I’m having fun, but it’s a little tedious. Blah!
Okay, time for dinner! And one more Mulder pic to close out the post…
I’m addicted to the tv shots. LOL!
We’re in the bottom of the 8th and Bobby Crosby is up. One out, one on second. 🙂 So technically, Mulder is not on the mound right now. LOL!
DREAM OF SRJ…
I dreamt of my former workplace. I’ve been having dreams lately of the old grind. In this one, I was back at the desk. It looked bigger, but it was darker. I didn’t have much light there. Lots of work for me though. Such a strange dream!
TOMORROW IS…
My first day of work! Actually, I’ve been going into the office for three weeks or so now. I was supposed to be learning how to do loans, but the processing position opened up and so it goes.
[top of the ninth and Mulder is now on the mound!]
I’m looking forward to learning something new and getting paid!
[Mulder got the first batter out and now Dotel is in the game…]
I’m not looking forward to the five day work week grind. Ahh well, I had a good run of days off. 😉 And I only have to drive one day out of the week, so I shall not complain too much. 😀
[Yeehaw, the A’s win!]

Mulder in the throwback
The boys were in the throwback uniforms today. So bright yellow! So loose. Very groovay. 😉
The doggies got groomed today! Meggie is very fresh and clean. Saffy is sporting a super short cut this time around. She looks so cute! 
Saffy wants to lick something!
Another HOT day out here in the Central Valley. Ye gods! I am ever thankful for airconditioning. 😉

Woohoo, a win for Barry Zito! He pitched well and his boys gave him some run support. And what more can you want?
Twas freakin’ hot today! We went out for just a little bit (lunch at Chevy’s and then some book browsing at Borders as well as window shopping at CompUSA and Good Guys). I was glad to get home to our air conditioning. 😀
Today was my last Friday of freedom. Next week I start the five day work week grind. Woohoo, I’m going to be getting paid! 😀 I’m looking forward to learning something new.
Walelia.com is two years old! Groovy cool!

We thought about going to the game today, but we went home early instead. The game wasn’t on tv, unfortunately. So I’ve been playing on the computer most of the time we’ve been home. Now my eyes are tired. 😛
