Today you could have a chance to reach new levels of achievement, PHILLIP. If you have been aiming for a career goal, you might just attain it. Positive energy will help you to have good encounters with influential people. You could do some successful networking. Or you could find that someone important offers you some praise. Don't hesitate to act upon the opportunities that present themselves!

Mandatory OT started yesterday, I ended up with 2 hours. It wasn't too bad, but I'd of rather of been home. I banged the crap out of my thumb splicing yesterday morning and really just wanted to get home.

He Was In Heaven Before He Died
©John Prine

There's a rainbow of babies
Draped over the graveyard
Where all the dead sailors
Wait for their brides
And the cold bitter snow
Has strangled each grassblade
Where the salt from their tears
Washed out with the tide

Chorus
And I smiled on the Wabash
The last time I passed it
Yes I gave her a wink
From the passenger side
And my foot fell asleep
As I swallowed my candy
Knowing he was in heaven
Before he died

Now the harbor's on fire
With the dreams and desires
Of a thousand young poets
Who failed 'cause they tried
For a rhyme without reason
Floats down to the bottom
Where the scavengers eat 'em
And wash in with the tide

Repeat Chorus:

The sun can play tricks
With your eyes on the highway
The moon can lay sideways
Till the ocean stands still
But a person can't tell
His best friend he loves him
Till time has stopped breathing
You're alone on the hill

Repeat Chorus:
