It’s been a long week. Work has been hectic … stressful … but overall it’s been positive. I’m glad the week is over though. I need sleep. Badly… which is why I’m going to bed shortly. Matter of fact, I’m nearly falling face-first onto the keyboard, so I should really go. I’m surprised I can type as well as I am. Funny that. Now I’m getting incoherent … I should really get to bed. Brush my teeth and all that. Maybe think about what I’m going to do tomorrow … put some stuff away on my desk. No … must … sleep …….. must stave off sleep-starvation psychosis….

1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.
2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won’t make you cry.
3. Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to, doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.
4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can’t have them.
6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
8. Don’t waste your time on a man/woman, who isn’t willing to waste their time on you.
9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
10. Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
11. There’s always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.
12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.
13. Don’t try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.
REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.
I’ve decided that companies that provide crappy tech support make me grouchy. I bought an analog->DV converter to capture video onto my computer for editing. The darn thing doesn’t work… as in pretty much DOA. Sure the little lights light up, but it doesn’t do what it’s supposed to. I have called and left a message for tech support 3 times. I’ve emailed their tech support once and their sales guy twice. It’s been two weeks since I first tried contacting them and I’m getting pretty pissed off.
I’m almost tempted to go with a competing product that I know will work, but doesn’t have some of the nice features this box does. Okay … enough pissing and moaning.
I need to go to bed. I woke up way too early this morning (as in an hour before my normal wake-up time of 6:45am).
Tomorrow morning I get to have some fun learning about audio equipment. We’re going to lobby for a replacement sound system for the Davis Theatre at UWRF. The current system is … shall we say … inadequate. It’s rated at 110 watts/channel @ 8ohms. In a theatre. Sheesh. We’re going to try and replace it with one that’s rated at 500 watts/channel @ 8ohms (1200 watts @ 2 ohms). Arrrh…. Arrrrh…. Arrh… (Tim Allen grunts).
Man … I reall gotta get back into doing this. This business of posting every few weeks isn’t particularly cool.
I had a good day at work. I didn’t get much done, but I actually found the top of my desk again. I was considering sending out a message that said “Sighted! Robert’s Desk! More at 11!”. Well, I didn’t.
I’ve decided that naps in the middle of the day are cool. I took a break from work at 12:30 and went to my gf’s room to nap with her (and yes, we did *nap* … nothing more). Of course I had to stay late to make up the time, but I was planning on doing that anyway.
I finally heard back from somebody at PowerR (I bought an analog->DV converter from them two weeks ago that doesn’t work). He wasn’t real helpful off the bat, but at least I got his attention with the email I sent. I’m really looking forward to playing with this video editing stuff. I also discovered that the sound-editing software I got is pretty nifty.
Next week I get to work with one of my coworkers on fixing up the sound system in the theatre where we have our Dance Theatre performances. I decided I was sick of over-heating the equipment and wanted to do my best to make sure that the concert this spring has some serious sound. I just did some research and discovered that the amplifier in the theatre is rated for 140 watts/channel max. What the hell?! No wonder we were overheating the damn thing running 4 speakers on it cranked. Yiy! Gotta get a better amplifier in there.
Well, ta-ta for now. Hope to post again soon.
