I hate murpy's law. I realy do.
After an amazing week with stacy, i planned on getting some time to myself *last night, and the next couple of days*.
I wake up this morning, *let me remind you that today is monday*, feeling horrible. I won't give many details, but my simptoms include feeling as if there is a hole in the side of my throat, feeling like something sharp was stabbed into my ear, and of course, my stomach eating itself.
When i was finally able to get out of the bathroom this morning, i went to 7-11 to call work and tell them that i was going to be late...the phone was out of order and ate my change. so i got my car, and went to safeway. by this time it was already 10:30, i was supposed to be at work @ 10. Call up chriss, and tell him i can't come in. "Great, you just fucked us, we are short 3 people today, and i have to run to set up the fair *aka sit arround and BS with some rich people*". Soooo, what did i do? well, i'm sitting at work right now, wishing that someone would put me out of my missery, or that i had some pot to get rid of the pain in my back and throat and ear.
Sorry to bitch, |

I realy need to sit back and relax. Fell asleep in front of the computer last night, and woke up with my back feeling even worse than before *i truely am getting old before my time....or i'm just complaining allot *shrugs**.
Today is wednsday, i keep thinking that it's monday. Better than the other way arround i suppose.
I am getting rather aggitated dealing with end user's. Working wholesale tech support has made me quite spoiled in my "this is how it is, if you don't like it, you can fuck yourself" attitude.........can't exactly do that with end users...but i don't find myself kissing their ass either. In truth 99% of the customers i talk to love dealing with me, because i tell them exactly what is going on, what needs to be done, and i give a recomendation that is based off of experience.....not a commision.
However, when a customer brings back a product, claiming it dosn't work, i test it IN FRONT OF HIM, and it does......the customer will get irate, and demand his money back. We are still leniant on that, but it just irritates me that the customer would demand money back for something that works, purchase the same thing, have it not work in his system a second time *as it is his system that was causing the problem in the first place.
*head explodes*
anyways, enough ranting, customer just came in. |

Finding myself happier than i have been for a while. Been hanging out with stacy, consiquently not getting much sleep 'cause we are both nerds and stay up all night talking. But i have been enjoying it greatly, hope she has been as well. Although i generaly wind up putting her to sleep with tech jargon. Let me tell you, implimentation of ipv6 allong with the insertion of non x86 architecture into the end user environment is NOT a way to win over a girl.
...Anyways, back to work, got a lot of stuff to get finished, including installing XP on Stacy's machine after i get off of work. |

Yes everyone, i am back, at least for a moment *shifty eyes, waiting to be tackled by customers*
Life is going great, all and all. Although i have felt a bit isolated from my friends back in roseburg, and not just because of the distance. More than likely just one of the dumb feelings that i get, so i am not going to make my brain meats toil away at that for too long.
Currently *attempting* to eat lunch, although *once again* i am having many interuptions, getting in the way of me and my spicy beef bento.
Job front is great, finally got my raise and medical insurence. Have one company *DrPc* who is going to start contracting me out next week, and another one "TechManagement" who is interested in giving me networking osi layer 2-3 contracts *aka, buku bucks for not much work.
Actualy started making new friends. Vic and Stacy are two ppl that i met off of myspace.com. Vic is...an interesting individual, another geek to converse with about adult swim on cartoon network. Stacy, well, i havn't entirely figured her out yet. She comes from pretty much the oposite background as i, but yet has a very good real world perspective on things. I do have to say that i have enjoyed the time that her and i have spent together thus far.
Currently have 2 romantic interests, not rushing either of them however, just kinda seeing where things go....sides that my love life has been anything but lively in the past however long.
well that is about it

I'm doing a little bit better about not getting online. although i realy realy wish there were something else for me to do!
I'm very tired right now, not entirely certain why..considering it is only 5 p.m.
*shrugs*
get to go over hex conversions again tonight before i go home, i think it might cause me to become comatose *zzzzzzzzzz*.
Got to go back to roseburg last weekend. i had a blast! getting to see my friends again was a wonderfull thing, "hanging out" instead of just simply being online and chatting. I am going to go back this weekend, after a detour for a date that i have up in portland oO. Assuming that it dosn't fall through *shrugs*. I dunno, i am having a little bit of trouble keeping my priorities strait. I mean, i am working towards what i want to accomplish, studying and all that jazz, but i still realy, realy want a relationship *even if i know that it will probably not be a good thing for moving my life forward*. Still realy stuck on xyla, and the fact that she has a boyfriend. Not in the sense that you might think though. I am stuck on that thought because, well, knowing that she is with someone makes me feel even more alone than i actualy am. *and living in a tent outside of a town where you don't know anyone generates enough of a feeling of solice*. But, posibly for the good, we have both desided to attempt to get on aim. Hopefully it will be an "out of sight, out of mind" kind of situation, although i know that it will not be entirely true.
I think i might put too much of my heart into my idealistic thoughts of how things should be. *ponders*.
But, anyways besides that, there are a number of good things going on. Like i said, i have friends to hang out with again :). I am actualy able to get dates still. I am going to be in my own place *hopefully* in three weeks. and i have a feeling that i will be getting a raise at my current job here soon.
Also, have been contemplating getting a second job, but i am not sure if that is yet neccessary. But when i look at it, i want to have my ccnp (700 dollars) and my ccsp (700 dollars) within 8 months. which, if i get a crappy studio apt, would be posible, although it would leave me very little money to put towards my debts, and no personal money *save for the once every two week trip i plan on taking to my home town*.
I am changing those things in my life that i can, and i am praying for the courage to live with the things that i cant. |

Well tonight i set out to a dance club for my frist time.... On the bright side i managed to get mildly intoxicated. Besides that I stood by a wall watching allot of people dance to music that normally i wouldn't be caught dead listening to.
Dissapointed, yes, disscouraged, no. Next week i plan on travling to ashland and going to a place or two that would never ever ever play a 30 minute nelley remix *shudders*. |
