June 2008

Trying to make it through the rest of today.

Got a call from the staffing agency this morning, they found my resume online and called to see if things were ok.

This morning is as painful as the last. I am still dead tired. Keanu Reeves is still a plastic actor (Street Kings) so all is normal.

@Gnorb I remember going through Montana years ago (before I could drive) and it was just breath-taking! Glad you're enjoying the trip.

I CAN pickup 2 250GB 7200RPM IDE hard drives for $89.98. But SHOULD I?

It was very exciting last night when the microATX motherboard I got from a friend powered on and posted. RAM on order. Hard drive needed.

@AlexMorse Yes, you're my favorite stranger I like to talk to. :) LOL

I love it when people tell me "I can't get it to turn off" when I ask them to hold the power button until the PC powers down. Off is easy!

Instant messaging is fascinating. It gives total strangers direct, immediate access to your time and attention.

Trickle down email communications fail.

@ericholscher Have a safe drive bro! Onward to Kansas!!

I need to figure out a time I can schedule a web design interview. After deciding to the contrary, I would be happier in a design gig.

@thame I do work the help desk so I web support daily. And I appreciated Apple's tech design.. gmmm

I need to choose... web design. tech support. web design. tech support.

I bought Paramore's new album yesterday. It's excellent. Their vocalist is amazing.

There is a third Transporter movie. This pleases me. They're ridiculous and fun, like over-the-top action flicks should be. I can't wait!

@jonesabi Yes I am. Yeah, it is. I'm probably moved to Northern VA later this year.

Got a call back about a job at VCU I applied for today. Not holding my breath. But certainly going to follow up.

Is it possible I have seen on the good movies on Netflix?

WWDC has begun. I am prepared to drool.

I am SO happy I'm not working desktop support for Honeywell (and their 80 building plant) on days like this. (106 degrees)

Not liking the writing on the wall I'm reading at work.

6am is going to show up early. However, I will be early to work so I can avoid the elevator I got trapped in Friday.

A program should never ask if you are actively using it, while you are using it. Support Magic, you need the help of a good WIZZZZZZZZARD!!!

Who broke Amazon? Http/1.1 Service Unavailable

@leolaporte Clearly the end times are near if Amazon is down.

I spend my day working with stupid tools.

I should go to bed. Instead I am slipping another movie into Snowflake (my MacBook) Sydney Whit was so good I am willing to try the nextflix

Enjoyed a dip in the pool to cool off. Now for a shower then...cake?

@jonesabi As should anyone with any taste at all ;)

I have 2 cases of 4 mini Orangina bottles in my fridge at home. I am stoked to enjoy them!

I have no idea what's going on in the world...because I've not turned on my Wii in the past few days. It is my sole news source.

Heatwave. Glad we have power. Now if this day would get going, I'd be must happier.

Excited that a motherboard I got from friends will fit in my MicroATX case! Now to find power and test this bad boy!

"I know the servers are down, but is anyone working on them?" No Sir, we prefer to keep all the servers offline for fun and amusement.

Of all the days to not have a movie, laptop, video game, etc... No power to City Hall and it's dead slow.

Power is still out. No, the system is still down. No, I don't know when it will be restored. Thank you for calling, you blithering idiot.

@AlexMorse It is! Every bone in my body wants to walk upstairs, filled with fire and police personnel and tons of city workers and mutter it

Power is back on. City Hall is closed. The IT monkeys in the basement have to stay since we support the rest of the city too. Boooooooooooo!

Twice now City Hall and the server room has lost power.

Power just went out in City Hall. Look at the IT crew scurry!

Played some good Call of Duty with friends tonight. Games are so much more fun when you play with people you know, even if you suck.

Watching Call of Duty 4 on the big screen (100") of projector 1080i.
