ummmm… Yeah?

So this last week has been pretty much crap. "A lot" going on and the packing on top of that has made it pretty stressful. I really need a vacation. Not to go anyplace just to lay down and sleep. About two weeks would be just the right amount. I think part of it was I got used to slackin while I was unemployeed. I liked the slackin part wayyyy to much but I wasn't so crazy about the not getting paid part. Anyway, I'm really hopping that I'll be all packed by the end of the weekend and then I can just veg out for the last couple of days before close and the move. I doubt that would happen but it's a nice thought. I'll be pretty busy this next week anyway but If I've gotten all my house stuff taken care of I can concentrate on all the reast of the things I need to get taken care of. Anyway, enough of my bitchin, cuz lord knows I never bitch.

Yeay!!!

Today on the way back home I though of something that made me smile, ya know besides all the normal things. Since it's looking like I may be moving into a new house with in the month, I may have had the cops come pay me a visit for loud guitar for the last time. There always nice about it, and just ask me to turn it down but I don't want them coming to visit unless they bring beer or cake. Those are the rules. I pretty much use the guitar as a treatment for depression. Ya know, something about loud, distorted, fuzzy noise with lots of bass makes things seem just a little better. :P Anyway I'll let ya know on the house thing.

Ouch

So as many of you may or may not know, I'm allergic to among other things sunscreen. Well today we had a family reunion so I was out in the sun all day. Needless to say I'm pretty crispy right about now. I'm trying to decide if I can afford to try and put some of that aloe gel crap on me. I don't think I'm allergic to that, but there not much telling and I don't really know if I want to take a chance on it. Anyhoo.... I need to get. Got inportant email to return. :P

Pool!

So last night I put a bid on the house with the pool. So you know I didn't sleep at all last night. It's making for a pretty ruff morning. I'm hoping that I hear something one way or another today. That'll at least let me sleep. I have to drive to Mom and Dad's tonight. I'm leaving straight from work so hopefully I won't be driving too late. If for some crazy reason I do get this house, there will be a big 4th of July pool party at my house. 4th and pools have been very very good to me. :) Anyway, I'll get back to my active directory nightmare here and leave you alone!

Grrrr

So this house thing has kindda got to me the last day or so. I guess I shouldn't let it but it's tuff. In any case I start looking again hopefully this week. I'd like to have found something by the end of next week. I'm ready to do this. The good thing about these delays is that it makes me one more month closer on paying off my truck, and one more month of savings to put into the house. I did do my budget last night and if I did it all right, I'll be sittin pretty when this is all said and done. Anyway, I'll let you know... 'tada'

Would someone please come clean my bathroom for me. I'll make it well worth it for you. I'm really having issues with the floor. We all know I'm not very good at dusting. Well I can prove it now. I've found a place where I've swept a time or two, and even mopped at least once. But if you go too long with out sweeping or mopping on spot, that stop becomes un-sweep/mop-able. I need another plan of action cuz just pushin a broom over it doesn't seem to work. Anyway......

Yay!

Things may be starting to fall together. The last big hurdle, even biger than spending $130,000 for a house, is broadband internet in a town of 2250. I was pretty much set on losing my dsl. But I didn't give up that quick. I found a company that does point to point wireless to a network with internet access. This is huge deal. This very site is ran off my dsl. I have a hosting service but they won't give me access to run things like this journal, the messageboard, and even my ftp stuff. This wireless is only 512Kb where as my dsl I'm getting about 1.3Mb right now. You may thing that this would slow down the site when/if it's moved over to it. But it won't. Currently I'm getting the 1.3Mb but its Dsl so It is being capped at 128Kb. The wireless will be 512Kb both ways. This will mean my access to you will be slower, but your access to me will be 4 times as fast. Although I don't want to lose any speed I think I can live at 512Kb. That's a mile away from dialup. It's a little expensive to get setup but the cost is about the same as Dsl from that point on. Anyway, from here on out... smooth sailing!

I was just reading this on The ScreenSavers web site about why Martin Sargent is not allowed back on the show. This is call #3.....

April 17, 2001:
Me: Orlando, Florida, let's go to Sheila. What can I do for you?

Sheila: Hi, Martin. I just bought a new Apple iBook and I can't seem to connect to the Internet.

Me: What color is your iBook?

Sheila: Orange.

Me: OK, what you want to do is reinstall Windows.

Don’t you hate when…

Ya know I normally get up in the morning and check my blood sugar. Lately since I changed my medicine it's not looking nearly as good as it once did but it's still not bad. This means that I have to check it just about daily. Just to make sure. Well normally I poke myself, squeeze out some juice and test it. This will kind of tell you what kind of day I'm having. I poked myself, It hurt like usual, and normally I'll have to squeeze just a bit to get enough blood to test with. Today, however, I squeezed and this thing shot out blood and hit me right in the eye. Icckk... It was like shooting a water gun. Luckily enough it was my blood and my eye. :þ Hopefully the day will turn around, after all it is Friday!

P.S. The webcam is down cuz I'm streaming audio right now. But the audio is flawless, at least with just one user on it... :)

Garage

/

So Brandt is officially in "There". He likes it, that's why I let him in, but it's "There" so I really have to watch him. I can't have him getting into anything he shouldn't. He's already kicking butt and taking names in there. He was making some chick wish she had never bought a paintball gun earlier today. Anyway, this last week I got one of the garages here at the apartments. I'd had one of the covered parking spots so this was just one step up. I'm not really going to use it to park in but I'm using it for storage. I figured I'll get some things packed and out in the garage. At least then when it comes time to move, I'll already have a lot of things down at street level. You know how I hate those stairs.

Do the math DW!

So I learned some interesting numbers today at work. I've only been there two weeks and I'm not very observant at times as most of you know, but today we had a meeting in the conference room with all the employees. We got in there and the owner is kind of long winded so I had some time to spare. With all the employees standing there looking at each other I counted 51 present and accounted for. That in itself isn't very impressive but the fact that only 18 of us were guys is pretty impressive. That's 65% women. Now Teri works with models all day so this next stat is for her.... 9 of the women could be considered extremely hot. Now that's not said to aggravate the women in my life but more likely to aggravate the guy back in the manufacturing biz where it's 90% men and 10% women that look like men. Well except for a certain saleswoman that was completely hot no matter what she thinks...Lisa... :P Other strange things happened today while I was at work. They let us out early today which was nice. I was leaving and it was pouring down rain with the sun shinning just has hard as it could... that's not the weird part. Then it stopped raining and started hailing! Hailing with the sun shinning. Only in Texas.
