Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve posted. Work has been sucking the life out of me as I’ve attempted to reach a goal that appears to be unattainable. After all there are only so many hours in a day, and there are other things that are more worthwhile after 5pm than work. Company of the female persuasion comes to mind.
We lost a staff member this week under unfortunate circumstances which I can’t elaborate on. Suffice it to say that it will definitely have an impact on my duties and workload. It also doesn’t help that one of my student employees has been placed on academic suspension. I actually felt like going out for a good drink … or two … or three … the other night. Depressing.
I’m working tomorrow (Saturday) and Monday because some things need to be done for Tuesday (some of which was supposed to be done by the previously mentioned staff member). I’m going to need a vacation in a few weeks… maybe I’ll take that ski trip that was postponed due to lack of snow.
TTFN … and GO PACKERS!

This is going to be short and sweet because I’m very tired. I’ve been working on the new ITS website tonight. But … before I did that, I was watching TLC. Junkyard Wars is awesome. Tonight they had the worst results of any episode I’ve ever watched. They tried to build snowmobiles. I guess I have a little more appreciation for how nice today’s snowmobiles actually are. I think it would be cool to get one.
I also caught part of a show on “Hackers”. This was on *real* hackers … started out talking about phone phreaking. I now know the origin of the number ‘2600’ in hack terms. It was really interesting. They even had Steve Wozniak (www.woz.org) … he told a story about when he and Steve Jobs got picked up for phone phreaking. Uber-cool.
about 43 hours left …
I’m not real motivated tonight. I felt like shit earlier, even after napping for a little over an hour. Matter of fact, I think I felt worse after my nap than I did before it.
I made a chicken Create-a-meal for dinner tonight. It was yummy. Also got around to doing laundry. I don’t think I’ve gotten over the novelty yet of having my own washer and dryer. It kicks ass. Now if only I could convince my sister’s bf to actually finish his laundry when he starts it.
I think I need to do a “movie night” sometime soon. need to find a white sheet to use as a projector screen though. amazingly enough,, I don’t have a single one in the house. I also need to figure out where to locate the projector.
I was thinking of going out and buying the two latest Bond flicks and having a Bond night (not to be confused with “bondage night” … that’s a totally different matter).
I’m counting down the days (4) until I get to see my girlfriend again.
I think I need to get in touch with Carmen Follen again. I miss her. Haven’t seen her since she graduated. 
I hate being sick. It blows. Literally. My nose is so sore … I swear I could be mistaken for Rudolph.
I will be very happy when I feel better. I’ll be happy next weekend … I get to see Liz and cuddle again.
I need to go out to the bars again one of these days. Haven’t been out in a while. I’ve been told some of the places here in town do good ice cream drinks. Maybe I’ll have to check and see. Maybe Amanda and Zeb will join me.
Also, I think I need a different picture. Maybe something that actually has my face. I’ll try to crop something up soon.
I hate being sick. Especially when I have a cold. They just hang on … and hang on … and hang on. My head is stuffed and feels quite unbalanced. Not good. I’m not sure if I’ll make it into work tomorrow. Liz has the same cold … I wonder how she got it. 
I’d post more, but I’m thinking heading to bed would be a good idea right about now.
Oh… and digitalriver’s error messages *SUCK!!*
