Bill Manning’s Blog

There is no secret that I am a fan of Al Gore. I still wish that the true President (I understand it has been 6 years, and what a great 6 years it has been, that was sarcasm). I am also a huge fan of the brilliant but cancelled and now re-born in 2008 Futurama. So seeing the return of Al Gore in his new movie An Inconvenient Truth paired with a returning Billy West as Bender I had to rejoice, sing and dance.

Also, I need to thank Alex for turning me onto ZeFrank. He has the funniest blog on the web, the guy is a brilliant lunatic and I love to watch all this funny and provocative segments. I have become a regular watcher of his blog and it gives me a smile all day long.

Here I am at 5:30 AM PST waiting in the Phoenix airport after returning to the airport because my flight last night was delayed. So let’s begin, got up at 5:30AM EST yesterday, worked all day at the customer site, made my flight to Phoenix but we were 1.5 hours late. When I arrived in Phoenix, I was informed that they would not hold my connecting flight (scheduled to leave in 15 minutes) and that they had done me the pleasure of rescheduling me for the next morning at 7:01 AM PST. Needless to say I was a little pissed. They were nice enough to put me up for the night in a Raddison Hotel (with the “Sleep Number” system) but I was still be bullshit. The gate to my connecting flight to San Jose was only 5 gates down. So, once again I get screwed and have to spend another night away from my family. I have been traveling so much this year and I am done. There are some many things which I would like to do but I am always on the road. This has to stop. I need to find another job or try and transition into something internal. I would also like a raise, a pony and world peace. Well maybe not the pony part but I need something. Someday I will update my photos with about 100 new photos of “The places you will go!” but I just don’t have the time, maybe tonight.

I was sitting outside check some travel information for an up coming trip and I watched as a bug flew into the vent of my PowerBook. Just a straight shot, the perfect flight pattern. Now I have a strange sound coming from my vent near the fan. This is just great. My normally silent PowerBook is sounding like a chain-saw. Time to get some more air cleaner and hope for the best. i think it got itself stuck in there, I am hoping that it doesn’t cause my PowerBook to overheat. arrgggh, well maybe this is an excuse to get a MacBook.

It has been awhile and guess what.. I still don’t have time. I am going to try and write some stuff up while I am on my next flight. I have traveling everywhere lately. I am on my way back from Minnesota right now and then I am off on another adventure. I have had a chance to see some great friends while I am in my traveling hell but I just can’t wait for my traveling to slow down. Maybe in a couple of weeks or my next job ???????

Someday… I really would like to sit down and discuss what has been going on with my life. Work has taken hold and when I am not working all I want to do is hang out with my Family. Maybe when I am on the next plane flight I will do something and post it when I get to my hotel.
