I guess I should start off by talking about myself a bit. Of course I should, its my diary right? So I live in Lombard which is about 25 miles west of Chicago. I am a big geek/gamer/tech/Nick Burns/Fix it person. Take your pick of those. I have a girlfriend of 3 and a half years and she is pretty much my only friend. No need to feel bad, I don't beat her that often. Ok, if you wanna know more, just wait and you will see what kind of person I really am.

So I got a new dog yesterday. She is a Siberian Husky. All white with gray markings. Very cute. The people who sold her to me said she will be about 60 lbs. She is very cute despite having peed on my floor twice already and having questionable dog crap breath. I guess I must have hated sleep because if last night was any indication, I won't be hanging out in dreamland too often. Got about 4 hours of sleep because she wanted to tell me how much she loved her cage all night long. I am amazed that such noises can come from such a tiny dog. She is only 2 months old, but screams louder than my 4 year old niece. By the way if you haven't ever heard a puppy howl, it's borderline the cutest thing ever, unless it's at 2 in the morning.

Like most people in office jobs, I spend all day in front of a computer staring at it and pretending I am working hard and making my company money. Being a Help Desk employee is a thankless, entry level at its best, piss ant work, but if you look close enough, you will find the benefits in the job. Today I had an older guy from the south call in which went like this:

Me - "Help desk, this is Ryan"

Hick - "Y'all gon'ta fix dat sherver cuzh we'all down in Loo-shiana."

(Pausing to laugh a bit)

Me - "Uhh....yeah we are working to get this fixed as soon as possible. Where are you calling from again?" (I honestly just wanted to hear it again. He had that whistle 'S' thing going on)

Hick - "I'mma presh operator down in Loo-shiana and HoooooWeeeee et'sh hot don here taday boy!"

Me - (Dead silence) I put him on mute and laughed a bit more. "Ok, we will call your plant when everything is back up and running for you guys."

Hick - "Shoundsh good buddy, talk to ya'll shoon"

Me - "Thanksh" I couldn't reshisht that one.

Good times.

So on to bigger and better things. I realized today that I am insanely cheap, but I will blow money on dumb ass stuff like Charleston Chew's, giant sombreros, foam fingers, and any other random shit I can find. I was complaining about having to buy a dog cage which for bigger dogs run about $100-$150. That is unless you buy a death trap. Well I went one step below the death trap. Last night my dog slept in a cat carrier. Yes those tiny little boxes made of plastic with the air vents. I had one in the basement and decided cat = puppy and tried it out. My poor dog had to slouch inside to even be able to stand in this hell hole. She had no room to turn around and or do anything in this. As if this wasn't bad enough, everytime she moved inside the thing, the whole box looked possessed as it bounced all over my floor. That was my guaranteed trip to hell because I laughed for a good 10 minutes at this. Maybe my making fun of ugly babies and stupid people pushed it over the edge. So I spent a shit load of money without really having the room to do this. I spent $700 on the doggie with tax and the ID chip thingy. I spent about $60 on dog treats and a shit load of toys and bones. Yet I still felt the need to force my new puppy in her cage-o-doom. Im an ass.

Well that's all. I will update when I feel like it. Until next time....Sniff my balls!
