Motivation!

It's been a busy week around here, not much time left for blogging. I apologize to my hordes of loyal readers. I'm going to try to post some this weekend. But I need to put a disclaimer for February:

Outage is coming. What does this mean? For those of us who work at a nuclear power plant it means long work days. I'll be getting about twenty hours of overtime a week and that will be for the whole month of feb up until the tenth of march. So...if it gets really quiet around here, please don't abandon me. I will be back in full force soon.

I am bracing myself for the outage even as I type this. I am reciting those song lyrics that will get anyone motivated. You know the song I'm talking about. And if you don't, then shame on you, but I'll post the lyrics so you can become familiar with one of the most awesome pieces of music ever conceived. (Warning, this is not for the faint of heart.)

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

Chorus: It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive

chorus

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive chorus
The eye of the tiger (repeats out)...
