Okay. Today was crazy and/or stupid people day at the captiol. Unofficialy, at least. Flocks of hundreds of people at a time, asking me how to get out of the building. What these people would do in a fire, I'll never know. Crazy lady up in the gallery talking to herself the whole time. At least she was whispering. Me and a dps trooper decided to ( Read more... )

Wow. Now I know why so many people just use a hsoting company. Setting up a webserver is a royal pain in the ass, especially when you have other crap that goes in with it. But I came, I saw, and I kicked ass. Now I've got a nice little FTP with about 2-3 gigs of random crap, and upload access, a shoutcast stream, and even a little doohickey that ( Read more... )

Yeah. Not a damn thing happening over here. Just in case you couldn't figure that out from the lack of posts within, oh, the last month or so. Got paid yesterday, which uber rocks. But nothing else is really going on. Blah.

Mean people suck. Especially when they try to get you fired. I was delivering something, and it turns out, that 5 hours later, I get a call saying that the shit in question never actually made it. So I trace it down, and it turns out the dolt who labeled it put the wrong room number on it, and the people I gave it to lost it, or something. Now she' ( Read more... )

Things are good. Damn good. Especially in my little world of geekiness. Had a computer that kept screwing up, in one way or another. HDD failure, near meltdown of the cpu, sketchy video card, and a few minor things. Bought more fans, was able to bring my cpu speed back up to normal after I clocked it down to like 800 mhz to keep it from frying. ( Read more... )

Wow. Today drug major ass. Had to stand there for about 4 hours, watching people bicker about pretty much nothing. There were 16 amendments proposed to change the house rules. Mostly housekeeping, but there was a lot of bitching on two things in particular. One dealt with recording votes, and verifying votes, and shit like that. That in itself took ( Read more... )

Second day of session. Saw my first squabble between reps, it was funny. They were trying to pass something alolowing each rep to choose one member of their staff to pay more than the salary cap allows. They kept bitching about personal agenda, and who wears the pants in the office/staff relationship, and all that. Great stuff. And I got a free box ( Read more... )

Holy crap. I'm tired. Woke up at 7, was amazed that I got from my house to downtown in less than 10 minutes, walked in the door, and had to run shit all over the place, right off the bat. Not that bad though, because I got to meet all the new reps, including strama, which is my rep, and I voted for him. Kinda nifty. Then at about 10, we headed to ( Read more... )

Holy cow. Having this job rocks. Easy as hell, pays okay, and is actually fun. Not to mention that now I get to do things like buy the cellphone I've had my shifty little eyes on for a year, and put a whole tank of gas in my car. I had to coast down a hill to the gas station because I ran out yesterday, it sucked. And ran a light in a big way ( Read more... )

Okay. About that part yesterday saying that the people at the capitol would never call me back, and that my ass is going to be unemployed forever. Forget it. They just called me, and now I'm in the process of playing phone tag so I can find out when they want me to start, and all that good stuff. Yep, I finally have a job! *does the happiest of all ( Read more... )
