This morning sure has not had a great start.  I went to bed fairly early for a Sunday night and so I got out of bed a little earlier than normal this morning.  Laila and I got our morning prayers in and I got reinforcements posted in the game before heading off to work.  There was more traffic than usual all the way in and I also got stuck behind a school bus on the way from the freeway to the place where I turn to go to the gate so that was a bit of a pain. 

Then when I got close to the place to turn they had the road blocked off for construction so I had to take a few side streets and finally got to the back gate which was also all backed up.  So again even though I left early I managed to get to work on time but about five minutes later than I am used to.

So now I run up to get ready to give the post test and get the class to fill out the end of course critiques.  I found out we didn’t have enough answer sheets and I would have to make copies of the end of course stuff.  So I gathered everything up and off I went to the copier downstairs hoping that it was not in use.

I got there and no one was there so I went ahead and got everything in the proper order, programmed the copier and pressed the start button.  It said the fuser was not fully seated and to pull it out and put it back in.  I did that several times and still it wouldn’t work so I dragged everything upstairs and had to make the copies on our three in one copier/printer/scanner.  That took forever and the first time I tried to make a back to back copy I messed it up and had to redo some.

I got that all done and went over and gave everything to the class to fill out and found that I had missed a page so I had to go back to the printer again.  Anyway, finally I have that all done, the class is gone and I am keeping an eye on the junior class for a bit while their instructor is doing his end of the month reports.

I still have a bunch of stuff to do tonight.  I have to get the bills ready for my daughter to mail while I am gone and have to run a few more errands.  Also I will be leaving before my daughter gets out of school and work so I need to make arrangements to get to the airport. 

So up until the time I get going on the trip I will be pretty busy.  But I am excited about getting back and spending some time with Laila and we both could use some rest. 

I guess I will get this saved now and get back to work. 

Wow what a news day yesterday and what a terrible start to the day.  I guess I will start with some comments about some of the news stories from yesterday and then roll into the interesting time I had getting to work this morning.

The first news item is of course the O J Simpson thing.  I guess he was able to make bail and flew back to Florida and it was interesting that he flew coach.  I guess he can’t afford to fly first class any more, and I wonder if he will have enough money to hire a dream team to get himself out of his latest legal troubles. 

Next was the clown that got the taser gun used on him at the John Kerry speech.  A lot of folks are saying the campus please used excessive force.  I think since he was a big guy and he was fighting back kicking and swinging that they were justified.  On my way home Michael Savage had another take, but I still believe they were justified, but I do respect Savage’s opinion that it should be investigated.  I think it was just a stunt for the kid to get a video clip for more traffic on his website myself.

I guess the president of Iran (I will not even attempt to try and spell his name) wants to lay a wreath at the site of the World Trade Center.  I guess it must be to mourn the loss of the terrorist hijackers.  I don’t know why we are even letting this guy into the country.  We should just arrest him for crimes against humanity a soon as his plane lands.  Why are we going to allow this guy go before the General Assembly of the United Nations and trash the United States and all it stands for?  Especially since the United Nations is located in New York City.  It will just give him bragging rights for his terrorist buddies, that he came here and used our freedoms to trash us. 

I can just imagine if this guy tried this crap in Russia, China, or even Mexico, where he trashed their government in a world wide forum.  He would not leave alive or would never leave.  I am glad that the authorities in New York denied permission for him to go there though.        

Then last night just before I went to bed while watching the local news to find out about the weather I see the Mayor of San Diego crying like a baby as he was announcing that he will support gay marriage and not veto the city councils passage of a bill for same sex marriage.  This guy needs to resign now.  I did not elect this guy to go against the voters and side with special interest groups.  Yeah they are a lot of gay people in San Diego but they are clearly a minority. 

A few weeks ago the city had a law suit started by straight firefighters who were forced to attend the gay pride parade.  Now San Diego is pushing through this gay marriage thing.  Our Fire Chief and District Attorney are openly gay.  The Mayor told everyone his daughter is gay last night.  He also mentioned many people in his cabinet are.  Has the city government of San Diego been hijacked?

I am not against gay people having the same benefits as married people.  I am against the term marriage and would accept civil union. That doesn’t seem good enough for these people who keep trying to force acceptance of their lifestyle down everyone’s throat.  I wonder if it is an insecurity thing with these people or what?  Just saying they are married is not going to mean automatic acceptance of their lifestyle. 

Anyway this morning listening t talk radio people in San Diego are calling for the immediate resignation of the Mayor.  San Diego is not nearly as left wing as San Francisco and while some crazy program or act by Gavin Newsome will gather praise from the masses in the Peoples Republic of San Fransicko, that stuff will not fly here in San Diego. 

A few of the callers think that the gay and lesbian groups have some dirt on him and may be forcing this issue.  I guess that could be true and maybe it is not.  Maybe he did have a change in heart but as the leader of a city he is responsible for enforcing the will of the people, not force his own views down our throats.

This is just a few of the latest Jerry Sanders failures.  He denies San Diego  is a sanctuary city while anyone with any common sense knows it is.  The water and sewage disaster is still ongoing.  The city is still having a serious financial crisis and now this.  It is time for him to go.  I hope to hear he resigned while I am on my way home.  If he doesn’t resign I will sign on with any recall group to recall him and get him out of city government.  

Well enough on the news of yesterday.  This morning when I woke up it was raining. It was just a light drizzle and it should pick up over the next couple of days as a major storm rolls through, but just a little drizzle is enough to ruin driving here.  In between watching the Mayor balling his eyes out on TV and the cooking tips of the day they showed a major accident on the 805 freeway between Plaza and 47th street.  It involved a big rig that had jackknifed and flipped over blocking three lanes on the southbound side.

Even though it was on the southbound side the northbound side was backed up for several miles as all the people going north were slowing down to get a good look.  Well since I get on the freeway at Plaza to go to work and get off at 43^rd street I left early and skipped the freeway all together.  It took a little longer to go that route, but I would still be sitting on the freeway if I didn’t use the surface streets.  

So then I got to work and the CPO selectees were selling breakfast burritos on the quarterdeck so I bought one.  When I bought they asked us if we had a microwave oven which we do and they sold me one that was cold, so I could pop it in the microwave as soon as I got upstairs.  When I got upstairs and all and ran over to pop it in the microwave oven it was gone.  Seems ET1 lent our microwave to the CPO selectees to use on the quarterdeck.  So I guess I will have it for lunch.

Well I guess it is that time to get this wrapped up and saved for posting later. 

Well only a week to go and I will be off to Laila’s for a few weeks.  I am looking forward to the break and getting some rest.  Not that I don’t like my job or anything, quite the opposite, I love my job.  I just need the rest after taking a class though, and especially lately where our shortage of manpower has kept me really busy.

Yesterday I could have sworn that Rick Roberts said something about not dwelling on the O J Simpson arrest and all, but this morning his show was about, yup you guessed it, O J Simpson.  So I switched over to the Laura Ingraham show where she was talking about Iran.

I also had to turn off the Fox News Channel after the majority of their programming was highlighting the O J case.  If the press would ignore this clown and the justice system would lock this menace to society up for good the world would be a nicer and safer place.

Instead the media is going to turn this into a three ring circus like the last trial was and somehow he will get off again.

I also found the other story pumped up by the news quite funny.  John Kerry was giving a speech at some University, in I think it was Florida, when one of the students got out of hand.  The guy was wrestling with police and swearing.  Finally the college police used a taser on him and carted him off.  What was funny was that this was a left wing wacko who I guess does this stuff all the time to get attention as one of the news agencies checked out his website.  He was probably even a Kerry supporter which makes it that much funnier.

San Diego has made another of the countries lists, this time we are in sixth place for traffic congestion, another list that I would not like to be on.  They say the average San Diegan spends 57 hours a year stuck in traffic on the freeways.  I don’t think it would be so bad if they would take the 95 percent of the transit money that they spend on the trolley and bus system and use it to widen the highways.  I enjoy seeing the empty busses paid for with my tax dollars running around all the time.  In fact the transit system is losing so much money on the busses and trolley system that they are raising the rates.  That will really help, out the poor and elderly folks that seem to be the only ones that ever ride it.

 Well I guess that is about it.  I need to run over and put some gas in the car.  I like doing it during lunch because there are no lines.  

Well I am back from the gas station and decided to write a little more.  Today I saw maybe one of the dumbest people I have ever seen.  I was at the gas station and they have two pay windows.  Normally only one of them is open at a time.  Well the lady who was driving a mini van was at the front of the next line over had finished pumping her gas and went to the window to pay.  From where I was pumping mine I could not see her but the guy behind me did and called over to her.  I guess she was standing in line at the closed window.  I don’t know how they let people that dumb get a license.

When I got back to work I noticed a sign on the door that they have raised the security readiness level.  I wondered what was up and after asking around found out that they will be doing drills and all.  They may even close the base over the next couple of days so that would be a free day off.

I heard on the radio that the judge set O J Simpson’s bail at $125,000 and with that low amount I wonder why they even bothered requiring bail.  They should have just let him out, it is not like he is going to be able to go anywhere.  

I am a little bit ticked off right now and so the easiest way to get rid of anger is to of course blog about it.  For the past several weeks one of the federations has been hitting our lower members and the lower members of the allied federations.  As one of the higher level empires in our federation I have been hitting them back when the occasion arises.

Well over the weekend some of the leaders and LT’s of the different allied feds got together and we decided to do something about it.  Last night was the time set up for us to attack and after making sure we had enough OP posters and all we all put a couple people out to attack this fed.

All was well until one of our guys started putting the people we were trying to attack in and refusing to hit others.  He then went on a tear DPing all kinds of other friends and trashed our entire reset time for the evening. 

I wound up not being able to go out until after 10 PM and as a result had to leave my empire unattended and out so I could go to bed.  I have to get to bed no later than 11:30 or there is no way I will get up on time for work and prayers with Laila.

So now friend or no friend I am considering kicking this player out of the federation since his loyalties are elsewhere in the game and he could care less about team mates.  I will talk to Joe and Sam about it today when I get home, but I have had enough of this kind of crap.  If you join a fed your loyalties lie with the fed and not people that are attacking your fed mates.

So I guess that is enough on that and on to something completely different.  OK so O. J. Simpson is in jail again for armed robbery and now it is all you see on the news.  Please get that wife killing jerk off my TV set, because I don’t want to see it.  By covering him 24/7 you are only feeding his ego.  Just pull all the reporters and get rid of all the cameras because no one cares about this double murdering piece of crap.  Just let him rot in jail and leave him be.  Not being in the press all the time would be punishment worse than death for this ego maniac. 

So everyone is all shocked that the Emmy Awards turned political and that Ray Romano and Sally Fields got beeped out.  Well I never watched Ray Romano and now I never will and Sally Fields has made my do not watch list with Ed Harris, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Richard Gere, Danny Glover and a few others.  I don’t need these people and when I see them on my TV my stomach turns so why watch them.

They do not appreciate the country that gave them the opportunity to gain their wealth and popularity so I say to hell with them.  Let them go live in France or some other socialist country.

Oh and I guess Hillary care is back on the table.  Let’s see, so Joe Blow who doesn’t have a job or has made that career choice to work at McDonalds for his career can’t afford health care.  I on the other hand who have been working all my adult life will now have to pay higher taxes because Joe Blow was to lazy or too stupid to advance himself into a job that provides him the means for getting health care.  And I am sure Hillary’s plan will of course provide health care for all our illegal visitors.

Socialized health care does not work, ask anyone from Canada or England.  When it takes six months of waiting to get to see a specialist because the government has now taken it over then lets see how happy you are with Hillary care.

Well I guess that is all for now.  I have gotten myself calmed down and will now go watch the fun in the lab. 

I don’t know what is causing it but I have one hell of a pain in my back today.   It didn’t affect my ability to go to work or anything but I have been uncomfortable all day.  I managed to finish up all the classroom work for the current class and I have all the practice troubleshooting problems installed so I can now take it easy for the rest of the day and just sit and work on power points. 

Yesterday I made a mistake and watched the Chargers get slaughtered by the New England Patriots.  I live in one of those bandwagon cities where if all is going great the fans flock to the stadium and support the team.  This morning one of the news stations had a poll asking if the Chargers could recover from the defeat and about 70% answered no.  So I guess the bandwagon has stopped for this season and it is still early.

At least they got their butts handed to them and didn’t blow the win like the Oakland Raiders did.  I was in the chat with the fed mates while we were all watching and commenting on the various games we were watching.  I was shocked when the Raiders tied the score with the Broncos and made a few comments.  They were like when do you think they will blow it.  When Janokowski mad the first kick I was shocked, but then when he missed the second one I was not surprised.  After that I knew Denver was going to win.

It was a little depressing to be in the chat while the Chargers were getting killed.  I was catching flack from many fed members that know I live in San Diego, but it was all in fun.  When 8 PM rolled around and I was sure they were not going to make a come back I switched over to the Emmy Awards to watch the Hollywood Idiots pat themselves on the back.

I added a new Idiot to my do not watch list  I figured some know nothing script reader would go totally ballistic at the awards show and start some Anti-Bush stuff or bash the war effort, but it surprised me when the Idiot turned out to be Sally Fields.  She even got beeped out for profanity. 

I wonder why during World War II Hollywood actors made films supporting the war effort or enlisted in the service, but the people there now bash the war effort and the presidency.  I guess it is a sign of the times.  Here we are the most powerful nation on the planet, and the land of freedom that has been gained through that power. 

I wonder what some of the people that were around in World War II think of today’s society.  I am sure they are as shocked as I am.  After Pearl Harbor everyone supported the war effort.  The willing accepted rationing of goods to support the war.  They purchased war bonds to fund it.  There was no shortage of man power to support the war effort because almost every able bodied person joined the military.

More people got killed on 9/11 than were killed at Pearl Harbor.  I don’t understand the lack of patriotism.  If people would have come out during World War II and pulled some of the protesting crap they are pulling now, they would be tarred and feathered.  I don’t understand how people can continue to ignore the problem posed with Radical Islam and the danger we are all in.

Back then they knew the dangers posed by Japan and Germany.  We went to war to keep that stuff from happening in the United States.  We purposely kept the war off our shores to protect those at home.  People knew the importance of it, unlike now.

It is inevitable that we will be hit again.  It will probably be bigger than the 9/11 attacks and it will devastate many areas of the country.

The new appeasement movement which I think came from the druggies of the sixties has basically taken root in our schools, news media, and entertainment venues.  I think everyone has this attitude that since we live in a big country that their town would be spared.  Ah, that stuff happened in New York and Washington.  They won’t hit me in San Francisco.  When a big attack comes that hits several cities at once and devastates the economy, travel, and safety, it will be too late to wake up and say “How did this happen?”   The next attack that they are already bragging about will be much bigger and all the talking head experts I have seen on TV are in agreement in that regard.

So while we continue to allow illegal immigration to run wild, and while the media, schools and entertainment industries keep pushing their left wing peace, love, dope way of life, I will pray that when the time comes my neighborhood will not be a target and that I have enough provisions to keep me and my family safe.

On another note over the weekend a huge fire broke out up near Julian and many people were forced to evacuate for a while.  I guess only one house was lost but over 1000 acres of land was burned and a few fire fighters were injured.  They said it was due to an illegal camp fire and I want to know if the illegal campfire was started by illegal aliens living in the canyons.  The San Diego area has been in a drought and the brush all over the county is dry and ripe for a devastating fire.  In many of these canyons illegal alien camps have been set up and they are just waiting for one of these camps to cause a very big fire.

Well I guess that is it for today.  It is time to get ready for the afternoon edition of work.

This morning has been unbelievable so far.  Last night I spent a little too much time gabbing in the chat so I went to bed a few minutes late, but I did get up on time and Laila and I did our morning prayer routine and I posted OP and took care of some game stuff before leaving for work.

I left a little early because I expected security to be a little tight again today but I didn’t leave as early as I did yesterday.  Traffic was light all the way to the freeway onramp.  The freeway onramp was backed up all the way onto Plaza Blvd and I didn’t see any good reason for it. 

The ramp is metered and I noticed it seemed to really be going slow.  Well when I got to the light I found out why.  The guy in the left lane was just sitting there.  I don’t know if he was talking on the cell phone, or if he broke down or what but there he sat with no emergency flashers or anything.  I am sure glad I didn’t get stuck behind him.  Anyway that was what was slowing everything down as everyone was cutting each other off trying to get into the right lane to get around that guy.

The freeway ride was fast and I made good time all the way down to Main Street (Right in front of the base) and there things came to a halt.  Traffic there was backed up about a quarter of a mile and not moving.  In fact the car in front of me was just dropping someone off and she got out and started walking to the gate.  She actually got through the gate before I did.

Anyway one of the reasons for the delay is that there are some people in this world that just do not have consideration for others.  Here you have a long backup of people trying to get to work and as was the case with the woman in front of me, she held up everyone to talk to the gate guard.  And it was not a short conversation either.  Maybe she was trying to get directions or something in which case she could have gone through the gate and asked any on of the hundreds of people walking around on their way to work.  But no, better to hold up scores of vehicles instead.

The base has a rule against talking on cell phones while driving but three times so far this week I have seen people talking on cell phones while driving on base, so I guess that is not being enforced.  I only griped about it today because I saw a woman hit a curb and drive all over the road while talking on her cell phone and I think that is dangerous, especially in the morning with many people doing PT before work.  There are always large groups of people running down the road behind the school every morning and that was the same road this lady was driving on.   I suppose someone is going to have to get run over before it starts getting enforced.

Also I heard the just about the dumbest thing I have head in ages on the radio this morning.  Someone in the California State Legislature has introduced SB-777.  I will look this up and post a link as soon as I get home.  Anyway this bill is going to eliminate some discriminatory words from being used in public schools.  What words are these you might ask?  The words listed are mom, dad, husband, and wife.  I guess they are discriminatory to same sex couples.

I have just about had enough of this crap.  I am tired of hearing about it, tired of the parades, and tired of people trying to force their views on me and children in elementary schools.  I don’t care the way they live their life and I will not discriminate against them for their lifestyle.  But I do not need it forced on me by anyone.  Gay is a choice and a sexual preference.  I do not talk to people about my sex life and do not want to hear about other peoples.  I want the news, politicians, and television shows to just stop all this gay agenda crap.  I have heard enough.

Well I guess I had better get started on the work day. 

I am really ticked off today about a few things.  The first thing that has me ticked is why, when I spend 6 to 7 hours a day posting op for folks to I have to let my empire out unattended?  It is because people don't show up before their empire goes out of DP and no one can go out for half an hour before the empire drops out.  That would have been plenty of time for me to reset

I am angry enough right now to just take a few days off and let them see how it goes when I am not there.  Especially since I had let everyone know that since today is the anniversary of 9/11 and they all know I work on a military base and security is always a lot tighter I would have to go to bed earlier. 

Anyway last night because of some peoples self importance when I went to bed three people had not reset which is total BS with the amount of people we have posting and all.  Anyway that is enough complaining about that.

This morning I did get up early and I did leave early because I knew the gate was going to be a mess.  I was not wrong about that one.  The ride to the base was fast and uneventful but it took me 20 minutes to get through the gate (normally takes 5 minutes or less). 

Since I left early and all I actually managed to get to my parking space a little early and ran over to the bowling alley and grabbed some breakfast.  So that was all good and I am here early with plenty of time to eat it and blog.  Actually I am the only one here, as I think my fellow instructors forgot what day it was.

The other thing that really has me ticked off is all the crap that has been going on with the General Petraeus and with the full page newspaper ad MOVEON.org placed about General Betray US. 

Actually I guess in one way it was good they placed the ad.  It has enough people on both sides angry enough to damage the Democratic Party.  I guess when you are high all the time you don't think about the long term affects of you actions.  I think they actually hurt the Democratic Party and it was actually cool to see Nancy Pelosi, one of the most left wing of the bunch say it was uncalled for.

Also I guess everyone's favorite mourning mom, Cindy Sheehan was arrested yesterday for disrupting congress.  She has not been getting any play in the news so it was about time for her to step up and do something dumb.  Since this is not the first time I would hope that they give her some serious jail time this time.  No more quick release or posting bond, just keep her in there and let her rot. 

Also there was some congressman Tom Lantos from northern California who spoke out calling the general a liar and all.  He is an immigrant from Hungary who somehow after becoming a college professor ran for congress and got elected.  This jerk goes around preaching about the evils of the United States (the country that took him in) and showed absolutely no respect for the General.  Well if you voted for this idiot be proud.  He insults the country that took him in and it is my feeling that he should have his citizenship revoked and have him sent back to where he came from.  

Then he can talk out against that government, get jailed or killed, and we won't have to listen to his insults ever again.  And to the fine folks that supported this leftist hack, maybe you should join with San Francisco and Berkeley and just leave the Union and form the Peoples Republic of Drug Addicts or maybe The Peoples Republic of the Irresponsible. 

I was listening to Michael Savage on the way home last night and besides this congressman he was livid about the fact that the San Francisco Film Commission and the Golden Gate Bridge Commission has denied a request from the United States Marine Corps to film a commercial on the bridge.  I don't know what it is with San Francisco.  It used to be one of the most popular places to go when you were on liberty and in uniform.  Now if I were on a ship going there for Fleet Week or something I would take leave to get out of going there. 

They have turned so anti-military in that city and I think it has to do with the elected officials from there.  Lets see, they have Mayor Gavin Newsome who defied state law and allowed gays to get married.  But then marriage doesn't mean anything to him as he has been sleeping around on his wife.  Actually in that sick town that will be enough to get him reelected.  Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, and Diane Feinstein all come from that area.  I am not even going to comment on that as it is self explanatory.

Well I have managed to get off track and started rambling so I guess I will go ahead and save this and get to work. 

Well it was back to work Monday and another quiet day turned busy after I finished with my class for today.  My class finished up OTCIXS today and they got tasked with moving some equipment from the building to the depot, while I was giving a test to one of the students that missed it last week.

Once he finished I went ahead and ran over to the transceiver classroom and lab and found that they were short of safety observers again.  Once I was able to go there they were able to get the entire class working on practice troubleshooting instead of six at a time.

This morning I did manage to get a bit flustered on the way to work.  From home to the base was no problem, but when I got on base traffic was all messed up again on the way to the building, because a couple of commands were doing physical readiness tests.  It has a tendency to really mess up traffic.

Anyway the topic of the day on the radio was the Mexican Truckers being allowed to drive freely on American highways.  The government says these trucks will be inspected, but we all know what that means.  Maybe abut 5 to 10 trucks will be inspected and the rest will be carrying drugs, people and maybe even terrorists.

Someone called in and said that they are allowing our truckers to drive there.  Yeah right, so they can be hijacked and all the goods taken I suppose.  Everyway I look at this I see it is a bad idea.  With tomorrow being the anniversary of the World Trade Center attack, should we really be giving free reign of our highways to foreigners?

Someone even called in about something Bill O'Reilly said about the SPP.  O'Reilly basically said that this was a conspiracy started by right wing kooks.  Since all the information is available right their on their government website http://www.spp.gov maybe Mr. O'Reilly should read it before dismissing it.

Rick Roberts pretty much called out O'Reilly by saying if it didn't raise O'Reilly's stature and popularity he wouldn't report about it. 

So I guess that is about it for today.  Since all the students got back I don't even get a full lunch hour any more.  That is the one thing that has been bothering me about they way things have been going.  I am spending all my time working with two or three classes and it gives me no time for a break, like I used to get.

So that's it for today.

This morning I got up on time and all, but took a little extra time getting ready for work so I was just a couple of minutes late getting to the PC to chat with Laila this morning.  We got our morning routine done and then I went ahead and fought traffic all the way to work.  There seemed to be a whole lot of traffic for a Friday morning even though when I got to the gate there was none.

On my way in I heard something on the radio that got me a little riled up.  They were talking about an assistant principle of a school that locked her 2 year old kid in a mini van and forgot about the kid until the baby was found dead in the mini van 8 hours later.  The temperature inside the van was 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

Seem the assistant principal had her day disrupted because it was her turn to buy donuts.  She remembered to take the donuts to work but forgot about the baby.  Also they said something about she had been warned three days prior about leaving her kid in the car.  I don’t know if this happened in San Diego or not, but I guess the district attorney was not filing charges as it was an accident.

This is involuntary manslaughter at least and she should get the maximum penalty.  I also think there is no way she should be allowed anywhere near a school.  I really don’t know what is going on with the legal system in this country.

If you are a famous Hollywood person you can get 2 drunken driving arrests and drug possession and get a light sentence ala Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohann and others.  You can even kill your wife and get away with it as in the case of O. J. Simpson and the guy that played Beretta (can’t remember the name at the moment).

I am wondering why this woman is getting off.  Was she a huge supporter of the District Attorney?  Maybe since she is union and the District Attorney maybe was the Union candidate that might explain it, who knows?  Something is fishy with this case. 

The weekend is almost here again and though it was a short week it was a very busy one.  I will maybe do my laundry today and then I will just save the ironing and stuff for tomorrow.

There is a death match in the game tomorrow and I know Laila wants to play but I don’t really know that I am that excited about it.  I guess since the chair I use at my PC desk doesn’t really do a great job when I aggravate my back like I did yesterday.  When I sit too long I start getting stiff and then when I do get up it hurts even more.

A death match takes two hours of concentration and continual play and I don’t really feel up for it.  Maybe tomorrow I will be but not today.  I guess I will see when I get home as there is one tonight and one in the morning.  The rules limit you to playing one or the other to remain in the fed competition, so if not tonight maybe I’ll get up early tomorrow morning.

Last night I kicked someone.  First the clown hit an allies main for 80K planets and then working with some friends of his he caused an ally to lose 350K.  I can’t prove the second one beyond the shadow of doubt, but looking at the way he played for the two days he was in the fed there were just too many coincidences.

This is not the first time someone has infiltrated our fed and somehow Joe, Sam, Laila, and I are going to have to find a way to keep people like this from even getting into the fed. 

I should actually turn this guy in for cheating as what he did was blatent.  He was having an empire hit him to give him retals and then using the retals to gain planets.  Then he would gain more retals and repeat the cycle.  This farming was definately cheating and I find it has been going on very often in this game.  I told him to knock it off and get back into DP but he continued to ignore what I was telling him and so I kicked him while he was out even though it is against federation policy.

The friends we figure he was cheating with, managed to get him in.  What was funny was that he had the nerve to start asking allied feds to take him in.  As far as I am concerned he is dead meat when ever I see him out of DP and I am sure people from the allied feds will hit him too.

Anyway, time to get going and get to work.  The sooner I get started the sooner I will get done and get to go home.
