Wow, 16.70 an hour. I need a job like that. I am stuck at work again today and not looking forward to my 20 minute walk to my car this afternoon. Like you its hot here, there is actually an advisory out for little kids and older people to stay inside because the air is all gross today. UGH...oh well, dont you lose more weight when you sweat anyways, I hope so cause thats what will happen when I walk home. I was going to try and walk the long way so that I could get a 45 minute walk today but not in this weather.

It sounds like your kids are all doing good...

And I am so jealous. Our house has no AC. We have 2 really large fans but thats it, I think a cold shower may be in order for when I get home.

And I would hate to be the cops who have to walk around patrolling for dog poop in the gross humidity.

Me over here, I'm trying to figure out the Benoit family tragedy.... it saddens me the more I here about it:

Then at at work we're dealing with silly issues created by a feature in our software. If you have an anti-spyware subscription and use our e-mail scanning shield, it may conflict with your anti-virus software's e-mail scanner causing you not to get e-mail. So of course we're getting a crapload of calls on that.

thats so sad, if they need an autopsy to figure out how they died I suppose that means drugs were involved.

All I can say is from everything that was said at last night's tribute to Chris (which ran when they didn't have any of these murder/suicide angles to this situation yet) everyone said how jovial he was, good to be around, and so forth.

It's a tough call to figure what would cause him to snap, if they have this entirely wrong or if perhaps there was something in his system that cause this flare up (toxicology reports take awhile to complete).

So it'll be awhile before we know anything. All I can say is no matter how you put it, there were 3 victims on this, no matter if Chris was a prepatrator or not.

thats such a tough decision that you can only make yourself...but its such a HUGE decision to make. I hate fighting though, it takes so much life out of you

This day just got worst. From the breaking news on CNN:

A law enforcement official close to the investigation tells The Associated Press that pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son before hanging himself in his weight room.



Fuck....

Yeah the story goes, he missed a house show on Saturday (aka non-televised event) and informed people in management he would not be at Vengenace (PPV event) on Sunday. There were weird text messages certain people in the company got from him that made them concerned so they checked and found the situation at 2:30 pm EST on Monday.

I wondered what was up with him not being on the PPV since he was in line to compete for a championship (which in wrestling is a big respected thing amongst the wrestlers). But they said he was out due to "personal issues" and so I thought it had to be pretty intense personal issues, I just never figured it would be that.

Yep, I never understood that either. The DA made a statement that things appear to be a murder/suicide but they investigating all angles.

This just sucks. I've watched this guy wrestle for 10 years. Never a glimpse of trouble, no reports of him causing issues backstage, etc. Just a pure professional.

I heard on the car radio on my way home a few minutes ago that steroids were found in the home, and that their use may have contributed to Benoit's depression and instability.

He was from Montreal, so it's all over Canadian news today. What a tragedy.

Today was another insane day in the office. I managed to get in there for 6:30, but I did not get out until 4:45, which got me into the middle of the mass exodus from Boston, and bumper to bumper traffic for 25 miles. It took one hour and 45 minutes. Ouch!

I was going to take the girls for a walk, but Tess will not budge beyond the end of the driveway. We're at the start of a heat wave here in New England, so I'm getting the same warm weather as Shelly, although I think we may actually be a few degrees cooler up here, over the
Connecticut border.

I have not taken the air conditioner out of the basement, it just seems so wrong to stick it into the window in June. I have an awesome big fan, that Tess is sitting in-front of. I leave that on in the kitchen for them while I'm at work, where they are gated in. It has a ceramic tile floor, so it stays cool for Tess. Between the fan and the floor, she manages to stay somewhat comfortable.

I hate closing the windows, it just seems like the winter is so long, and the months where they can be open, with the air flowing so brief, although if it goes over 95 tomorrow, that AC is coming out of the basement. The weather should be in the low 80's this weekend, and I have a five day weekend coming up. YeHa!

More of the same tomorrow, although I'm car pooling with my co-worker who only goes into the office on day a week, she works three days, and lives 100 miles west of the office, so we try to meet and do the last 50 miles together. It makes a nice difference from driving alone, no to mention saving 200 miles a month wear and tear, and gas, on each of our cars.

Ever heard of an attic fan, you put it in your attic and suck Hot air out! It's awesome!
