What are you doing right now??

Coffee number two. Slept late (very late for me). Woke up at 6:30 with 10 scale shoulder pain, got up for a minute and decided to try and sleep it off. Well, I did. I also had a very vivid dream about working as a security officer at the college I worked at up north. My partners were there, they hadn't aged a bit. The place was strange. My duty belt was missing most of my gear and I remember thinking how am I gonna fill out patrol reports without my glasses? :oops:
Man, my brain has been doing weird :poop: lately in my sleep. I wish it would knock it off. That dream was so real that when I woke up two hours later, I didn't know where I was for a sec.

Anyway...it's going to be another gorgeous day in the 30s, sun is shining. But I have to do everything I didn't do yesterday today. Housework, laundry, blah blah. Maybe I'll strip down a gun or two 😊.

You have to watch fun things before you go to bed, so the brain relaxes.
Like cartoons the way @Bassbob does, surf all the new gun porn or watch the outdoor channel.
Dream of smoking the big buck with a perfect drop shot 🙂

I was thinking this exact thing! But I haven't even thought of those college days in a long time.. mental gymnastics I guess. Wouldn't hurt me to watch a little Roadrunner before bed :cool:
 
Well since it is Feb 23rd (223 day) and the temperature finally rose a little above freezing, I guess I'll head to my sportsman's club and take the AR-15 and the Hellion for a little workout. I'll still be sloshing around in the piled up snow to set some targets up. Ugh. Come on spring, so tired of winter this year ...
 
Hmm, look see here is some snow... You see the problem with this picture is I live in Florida, the only snow here doesn't come the sky, kinda as there is airplanes. How do you guys deal with it?

You just might get an email informing you that you are fired.

That would be a lawsuit waiting to happen. Wrongfully terminated, I'd win in the end. I have 18 years tenure as a permanent employee, the highest rating for disabled veteran status, and all good evals. If there was a RIF (Reduction In Force), I would be one of the last to go. They would more than likely offer me an early retirement package to go. I know the government is dumb, but I don't think they are so dumb to fire me. Like I said before, a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I think I have alluded to this here before, but when I was a teenager I trained myself to remember my dreams and dream lucidly. I was curious if dreams meant anything and I was never really able to recall mine so I trained myself to. Biggest mistake I ever made. You cannot unlearn that. I haven't had a decent night's sleep without alcohol and/or being completely worn out since January of 2020 when my first wife, the love of my life, left me. 25 years later and I still have dreams that correlate things my first wife did with my second wife. So like I will dream my current wife is blowing me off for some dude or something. Shite like that. Add in the fact that dreams are absolutely 100% your brain making up stories to amuse itself while your conscious self sleeps and it uses bits and pieces stored in your memory to concoct them and you have a perfect recipe for some seriously screwed up dreams. Your memory contains all the people you loved who died, all your fears and insecurities, all of it. And some memories should be forgotten. The day my wife came home and told me she was in love with someone else, I moved out of the house I bought for us. Me and my dog and my guitars, guns and tools lived in my truck for about a month while I found a place to stay. I was unable to stop thinking about her and this other guy. Literally unable. I ran a perfectly good business into the ground and picked up a nasty habit I won't discuss here. A week later, in my truck with my dog I wrote a song. It perfectly sums up the way I felt about my life. I didn't care what happened, my entire world was gone.

Satan is calling and I am listening, there's something wrong there can be no deny
My body's weak and my soul stops resisting, there's nothing left to live for I will die.

There's always something to live for
And there's always someone who needs you
but if death were a sin than it's unfair to be in the
state..I'm.. in.

Satan is calling and I am answering, his request to come and take hold of his hand
His promises are so vague but I'm helpless, he promises to take me from this land.



If your brain is capable of conjuring up crap like that when you're awake, imagine what it comes up with when you aren't looking.

Woke up with a pounding migraine. Coffee and a fresh made Boston Creme doughnut. Yes, I'm a LEO and I eat doughnuts but only once in awhile.

I remember very well getting dougnuts from the local Shipley's Doughnut bakery. When working the 11:00PM-7:00AM shift we would stop by around 3:00AM when the first batch was done. We picked up day olds to give them to prisoners in the county jail.

I hope you are right but they have already done it to people here. Don't know all particulars but these people are also veterans. Veterans don't get a pass.

More than likely a RIF, or they were in a probationary status as new hires. Not all levels of veteran status are the same. I'm not so much worried about being fired. Like I said before, I would be the last to go, locking the door or gate on my way out if they shut down my base/depot. I am considered "defense critical" in my job. It would take a lot to just fire me out of the blue. I started my disability retirement packet before all these things happened. I have a lot of legal protections with that. They can draw out the process, or accommodate me and keep me employed, but it will cost them a lot in the long run if I have to pursue legal action.

I totally get you. I still dream of exes and life going sideways. They’re very real. Sounds like you managed to slug your way through some pretty deep shite.
You missed a calling IMHO. Songwriting is an art.
 
It's official. Just received a text from The Department of Defense about how DOD employees are NOT to reply to the e-mail from The Office of Personnel Management about what we have done for the week. I kinda figured this would happen.

I got a lot of them. I don't know if I missed it. I mean I did try. Right place at the wrong time I think.
