I took 106 tickets yesterday, and 94 today. I am setting a high bar for myself. Trying to keep this pace is going to be difficult.
Setting high expectations is a little like the high jump, if you make it they keep raising the bar, eventually you get too tired and knock the bar off.
I have a little black cat on my lap, she is warm and snuggly, and very needy.
I can see the montoney of my life and job now. The initial excitment and exuberance have waned. Work, home, sleep, work, repeat indeffinately. I need to get some friends or I will go crazy.
For right now I look forward to writing emails, writing in my deadjournal, and going to the beach on my off days.
Jess we got another utilities bill, but don't worry about it, since I am workin, I got it.
More later.

Its happened again.
High School, because of my track coach eveyone called me Masker.
Next High School, because of Air Force JROTC everyone called me Masker.
Air Force Academy, eveyone called me Masker except Clint, Ian, and Damon.
Now, since my shift has 2 Jeremy's and our boss only learns last names, everyone calls me Masker again.
Masker.
Jeremy: From the Hebrew name Yirmeyahu which meant "YAHWEH has uplifted". This was the name of one of the major prophets of the Old Testament, author of the Book of Jeremiah and (supposedly) the Book of Lamentations. He lived to see the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem in the 6th century BC.
Masker: Dutch - masquerader, masker, masquer a participant in a masquerade.
Well I guess I can live with that.

My Middle Name:
Sean::Anglicized form of SEÁN::Irish form of JOHN
English form of Johannes, which was the Latin form of the Greek name Ιωαννης (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name Yochanan meaning "YAHWEH is gracious". This name owes its consistent popularity to two New Testament characters, both highly revered as saints. The first was John the Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus Christ and a victim of beheading by Herod Antipas. The second was the apostle John, also supposedly the author of the fourth Gospel and Revelation. The name has been borne by 23 popes, as well as kings of England, Hungary, Poland, Portugal and France. It was also borne by the poet John Milton and the philosopher John Locke.
Hmm, so there are more Johns in the world than I thought before.

Clinton:From a surname which was originally from a place name meaning "settlement on the summit" in Old English.
Robert::Hungarian form of ROBERT:Means "bright fame", derived from the Germanic elements hrod "fame" and beraht "bright". The Normans introduced this name to Britain. It belonged to three kings of Scotland, including Robert the Bruce who restored the independence of Scotland from England in the 14th century. The author Robert Browning and poets Robert Burns and Robert Frost are famous literary bearers of this name. Also, Robert E. Lee was the commander of the Confederate army during the American Civil War.
Albaugh: http://www.albaugh.info/ Basicly: Every Limb in polish.
Rachel:Means "ewe" in Hebrew. She was the favourite wife of Jacob and the mother of Joseph and Benjamin in the Old Testament.
Tolbert: Derived from a continental Germanic personal name of unknown meaning, the second element of the name is derived from berht meaning "bright, famous".
Elizabeth: From Elisabet, the Greek form of the Hebrew name Elisheba meaning "my God is an oath" or perhaps "my God is abundance". In the New Testament this is the name of the mother of John the Baptist. It was also borne by the 12th-century Saint Elizabeth, a daughter of King Andrew II of Hungary who became a Franciscan nun and lived in poverty. It was also the name of a ruling queen of England and an empress of Russia. Famous modern bearers include the British queen Elizabeth II and actress Elizabeth Taylor.
E-Beth not even attempting your last name...cause A can't spell it...and cause B I can't spell it.

The fog creeps in on little cat feet.
It sits on silent haunches,
Looking over harbor and city,
And then moves on.
