Not getting any work done

So I am getting absolutely nothing done today. I think the 6 days in a row off have really done me in.
Work has really been on the back burner here lately.
I think that with all that has been going on that I just want to stop for a second. So I can at least read the plate on the bus which has just run me down.
I'm sure I know who is driving the phuckin' bus too.
--------------------------------------------
I had an English professor in College
John King
He had a poster in his class room that said "where are you today?" Most people had written on the bottom of it
In this class
the name of the town
or something to the effect that they didn't really get the poster.
I got it but didn't tell anyone
I' m at work today but I'm not here today -- I'm at the beach --but I really don't like the beach -- a bunch of us are going to the beach in a few days well 23 days but it sounds sooner than in 3 weeks.
I'm not sure how I got talked into all of this to tell you the truth -- I really don't like lying in the sun -- mainly because I burn -- I mean really burn
When I was in Brazil a few months ago Summer time there winter time here I got a really bad burn and I only laid out for 15 minutes no more than 20 -- it was horrible. I couldn't move around the next day. My legs and back were red and heat just radiated off me.
The pool at the house I stayed in didn't help the pain either -- so I sat(gently)in the shade I could find and drank fresh coconut water. It is supposed to help if you are dehydrated.
So I don't like the beach
Oh speaking of Brazil -- I recently called one of my friends down there -- the bill came yesterday
Yikes !! it was $150.00 bucks for the call
I don't think I'll be calling her that much anymore I'll stick to the e-mail and snail mail for that one
So anyway I'm going to the beach again
-- why who the hell knows
I think I will leave my shirt on and wear linen slacks the whole time and sip on mint juleps
being in the south I should fit right in.

I ran in to the exhibit tech today or rather early this morning and he said that he reckoned he was going to be busy today
Its similar to figurin' but not like fixin'
But then if you are fixin' you have spent your time either figurin' or reckonin' before you got to the fixin' part.
Now where you decide to do all this is another story
yonder or cheer
The first time I was ever exposed to these words was when my family decided to move from the D.C. area into West Virginia when I was 10
Talk about culture shock -- the first day of school some woman at the school 'Yells come right in cheer and sit down over yonder we'll be fixin to get your schedule in a big hurry
I kid you not these words left the woman's mouth and I wasn't really sure what exactly I was to supposed to do. The next 4 years of my life were a perfect joy. Oddly my brothers both picked up the jargon of hillbilly speak and added rather colorful accents.

this all started with me not getting any work done
