Cranky
I don't know what's been the matter with me lately. I think it has something to do with classes starting again, too much work, having done too much work on my vacation, and a general dislike of my job. Hrm... sounds familiar. I think I am an official whiner now. Ok, I'll try to focus on the good.
Let's see. Only 9 more class sessions until I have my Master's degree. I managed to duck the large teams that were forming for this class and partnered with a guy who'll be out of town the first couple of weeks thereby limiting how much I have to deal with him. I am sure that I sound like an elitist ass or something, but I assure you, while that may be the case, that is not the reason. I just don't like working in groups at school because people invariably slow me down and I hate having to go to team meetings and the like, I have too much crap going on as it is.
So anyway. I bowled like crap the first two games on sunday night, continuing my crappy streak in league and managed to turn things around in the third game to roll a respectable 197. Not where I should be, but much better than the numbers I had been putting up, so again, that's good. So next week the goal is at least one clean game over 200. I am boring about 99.9987% of the people that I would imagine read this journal, all 3 of you effectively, but I am trying to list the good things at the moment in an effort to subdue the crankiness.
On another good note, I am updating my journal, whee, aren't you all glad? I am, because it is something I've been meaning to do and any accomplishment, no matter how small, makes me feel better atm.
I have been really jonesing to buy something, anything, technologically oriented. It's been awhile and I am going through withdrawals or something. I really want one of the NTTDoCoMo kick ass phones, but they only work in parts of Europe and Japan. America makes suck-ass phones and has archaic networks to say the least. It is embarassing really. Maybe someday we'll catch up with all the technology that we created and promptly shipped out of our country. But I digress. One of the harddrives in my desktop blew and I have been contemplating a new desktop computer. Oooooo let me tell you that is dangerous. I found a very nice dual processor workstation this afternoon that is almost as drool-worthy as the Apple G5. I really want the Apple, really really want it. But I don't need another computer. (As I write this on my ibm laptop I am reconfiguring the firewall on my sony laptop. i.e. I got too damned many computers already) So I am trying to exercise restraint, not easily done.
