I am officially moving and re-titling this blog to:
http://www.theflannyman.typepad.com/thatsjustprime
Feel free to join me over there. I'll be creating a page on that site for all the entries from Scrap Judgment over the many months I have been here. The reason for the move is that TypePad allows me more freedom with what I want to do with my blog.
See you there!

Life Continues...
It has been a couple of weeks since my last post and I figured it was about time to update on how life is treating me at the moment.
The new job at the English Composition Office is treating me very well. I enjoy the days that I get to spend there and cannot wait until the end of June when I get to switch to three days a week and only have to work a day or two at custodial. Even better will be the fall semester when I don't have to work custodial at all. Speaking of my custodial job, the supervisor that I enjoyed working with finally finished her cross-training over at Deseret Towers and is now back with us at Helaman Halls. If anything, that simply makes those custodial days a little bit more bearable.
I have undertaken a new hobby ever since my birthday. I decided to try and write a blog that had something a little more substantial than simply a journal-like feel. Grandma Chatfield gave me a few bucks for my birthday and I used it to by the "Blogging for Dummies" book that I have been wanting. After several days of reading The Flannyman's World was born. It isn't anything too spectacular, and it won't really begin to take off until I get back to school in the fall, but it does look pretty nice and I have been making a list of subject material so that I can try and make it a Monday-Friday posting endeavor. If you are interested, just check out the link above.
Not going to school is really making life a lot simpler for me over the last couple of weeks, and it was probably one of the better decisions I have made in a long time. Holly and I have enjoyed the evenings without any homework and with getting home at the same time each day. Yesterday we even had corn on the cob for dinner.
My birthday recently passed by and it was great. The actual day of my birthday was on a Monday, so the preceding weekend Holly surprised me with an overnight trip to Heber City (yes, I know, none of you will understand that, but I do) and we saw Spiderman 3, had Pier 49 pizza and spent the night in the Holiday Inn Express that has a jacuzzi outside the bathroom and in the bedroom. It was a lot of fun. Then, on my actual birthday we went up to Salt Lake City and saw an IMAX movie about dinosaurs and had lunch at Buca di Beppo's. All in all, a great birthday extravaganza.

Flannybots, ROLL OUT!
Today, I have made a decision, a very, very important one at that. If my family or my wife's family ever has a reunion and I have a large number of children I will make them all shirts that say "Flannybots" and insist that they wear them in order to be recognized as part of my posterity. Laugh if you will, but this is the case. I even just a moment ago got permission from Holly to do it, so there.

Something Of A Routine
I've often spent a lot of time talking about how much I love to have a routine and how much better it makes my day. Well, with not taking any classes this summer and with a work schedule that does not have any holes in it, I have finally managed to get a little bit of a routine. I am waking up at about the same time each day, going to bed sometime in the 11:00 hour most nights. I am eating dinner on a regular schedule, as well as lunch, which I think has helped out quite a bit with being tired for the most part.
Sorry this post is so short, but there are lots of things to do at the moment, however, I wanted to keep my streak alive at posting each day I come into work here at the English Composition Office.

Yeah, This Will Work For Me
The last couple of days have been pretty good to me as far as my jobs have been concerned. My office job is enjoyable in that there is usually something to do and I have time to work on little things of my own. Getting this job was pretty much a miracle in my mind at the moment. As far as the custodial job is concerned, it is not so bad now that I know I won't have to go on back-to-back days anymore. That gives me just enough of a break to handle it well enough.
It has been nice this week to not have any classes to go to and to come home and not be worried about forgetting to get something done. It has taken a lot of stress off of my shoulders and now I get to have all sorts of time to spend with Holly and work on little side projects that I've shelved away due to lack of time and whatnot. Perhaps I will get the chance to work on my outline for the upcoming NaNoWriMo 2007 competition in November. I bet I can hit 50,000 words really easy if I have an outline to go off of like most people do.
