Looking Ahead, Puccini and Fantasy Fuel!


The boss asked me to double back and work at 5 yesterday, so I made no attempt to accomplish anything on line.  I opted for a little rest instead, not that I got all that much.  However, I will take what I can get when I can get it.  That leaves everything I was to have done yesterday still to be done, yet I feel disinclined to do so this morning.  I will probably still do it, but I won't like it, lol. Which brings us to today and the start of a new pay period and schedule.  For the last little while, I have had 3 days off while still getting nearly 40 hours a week.  That little slice of heaven is now over.

Starting today with my usual long shift from 5 -2.  I then return tomorrow at 5 and work until 11.  On Sunday, I finally get a day off this week, but only one.  Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday remain my 11-7 days with the addition of now doubling back and working a 5 pm on Thursdays until 8.  That is a scheduled 42 hours which with the vagaries of our staff's arrival times, will probably grow some what.  The extra hours are caused by the resignation of one of our weak links and the dismissal of the waste of breath that was taking up time, space and money but contributing little else.

I really should not bitch, it will help to advance my financial agenda which is fairly aggressive for the next few months .  The major item on the agenda is a major upgrade to the home of Nichevo.  I recently upgraded the RAM as a stop gap measure until new components can be purchased with which to build a new Nichevo platform.  The upgrade includes a new tower, motherboard, processor, RAM and power supply.  I already have two DVD Burners and a card reader plus assorted fans that I can combine with the new components to create Nichevo's new home.  The parts for which Will diligently searched and selected can be found in a wish list of sorts over at PCPartPicker a website that facilitates DIY folks who want to build their own computers by checking for compatibility issues between components.  As you can see from the list it will only be about $450 to complete the upgrade, which is really not so expensive when you consider the computing power I will receive in return for that small amount of money.  Small $$ in comparison to what I would spend retail for a machine with the same components prepackaged on the shelf.  By no means is this the only item on the financial agenda, but it is the largest and most important thing on the list.

Musically today, we have a wonderful collection of highlights from the Operas of Giacomo Puccini orchestrated on themes from those Operas and performed by Andre Kostelanetz and His Orchestra.  You will find this play list down below.  Over on my tumblr, I have a non-Operatic work by Puccini, his Preludio Sinfonico performed by an unnamed orchestra under the baton of Claudio Scimone. 

Finally, what would Friday be without some Fantasy Fuel?  You will find a scrumptious, mostly naked edition of sultry studs to fire your desire posted down below.  Over on my tumblr, the Hottie of the Day! is an artistic photographic rendering of a callow 'Youth in Repose'.  Thanks for the visit, see you again soon.  Until next time as always, Enjoy!
