Blah...Right now I feel like I've wasted a large portion of my life. For some reason I decided to use my insane research skills to see what was up with some of the girls I dated (use the term loosely. I've always been lousy at dating, which anyone who has read through the post archive will see). I went out with a lot of girls in college. Sadly, I ( Read more... )

So. I have exactly 20 minutes left before I can go to sleep. I'm in the midst of my second on-call shift at work. Due to some missteps I made during my last attempt at this, management decided to change things around. We no longer have to go in to work during the day when we're on call. This is good because previously we had a 12 hour period at ( Read more... )

One of the more annoying side effects of being an insomniac is that one day a month when your brain goes, "I'm not tired. Here. Think about this. Stop counting sheep, you idiot, this is important and I want you to do something about it right now." So here I am, staring at Livejournal on one monitor and a brand new, clean, empty word document on the ( Read more... )

I had a freakin awesome day today. I've been having a lot of those lately. I think it's the new job. I've been learning a LOT since I started working at HEIT (Gotta capitalize it I guess, even if it makes it look even more German). Today I actually caught my first hack attempt on a client's network. It was sweet. Part of the system we use, which is ( Read more... )

Well, I figure a major life event like losing one's appendix deserves to be mentioned even when I stop updating this thing. That's right, my appendix has left me. I made it mad and it rebelled. But seriously, I woke up tuesday morning with some really bad pains in the lower right side of my stomach. Didn't think too much of it. Just figured it was ( Read more... )

I just woke up from a 2 hour nap. I had a dream I didn't really want to have. In it, I went back home to North Carolina. It was really kind of weird, one of those dreams where you realize you're dreaming and then wake up, but only in your dream. Basically, I was in North Carolina, and for some reason decided to drive down to Tryon, the town where ( Read more... )

I'm sore. One full day of moving boxes, was so tired I forgot to eat dinner (aside from two pieces of birthday cake, which was nice). Today was spent running around (how do you put 100 miles on a car in one day when the main road is 25 miles long?) grabbing various stuff and carrying it up stairs again. For 12 hours. I'm really really tired. And I' ( Read more... )

Yeah. This hasn't been a good week thus far. My back is killing me again because I don't have a good chair to sit in while using my computer. The pain I spent several hundred dollars to get rid of took only 4 weeks of sitting in a wooden chair to come back. I ordered a new chair and a desk for my computer the friday before Christmas. I have no idea ( Read more... )

I think it just hit me that I'm leaving. I went to the weekly swing dance for the last time tonight and told everyone I knew I was leaving...well, except Kelly, who was with her (apparent) boyfriend (Yeah...didn't need to see that, really). I suppose this is my style. Wait until the last minute to tell everyone I'm leaving and then disappear like ( Read more... )

My brand new car got heavilly scarred today ( Read more... )
