Even more interesting

I have two job offers on the table. One is a driving job, dallas to austin and the other is for a headhunter, contract to hire type deal. No matter what, I got a job waiting for me somewhere, which makes me feel better.

Went swimming today at my fiance's Mom's house, which made me feel like a little kid again. I love swimming, and just being in the water. I definitely have to get back into it.

My uncle came down because my grandfather was in the hospital getting an aneurysm fixed. I really enjoy when my uncle comes down because we get along so well, talking about computers, audio, car stereo equipment and sometimes, even politics. He was driving home and his fuel pump went out on him in Arkansas. He left yesterday and just got home today. Glad you made it home!

Interesting times...

Haven't posted in awhile. Sorry about that. I'll get more regular. Work everyday tends to take the creative juices out of me.

We have a "pet" spider in out front doorway. We've named her Charlotte, and she's a brown spider, most likely the common north american house spider. She's fairly big, maybe a quarter in size and her web is unobtrusive to our front door. She had to rebuild after a windstorm took it down, and today we noticed some rather large holes in it. However, we also noticed that she was actively feeding, and had several bugs stored in her web. We also think she's gonna have little baby spiders soon, but we aren't sure. Some pictures will come in time, but since she's mostly nocturnal, I'll have to see what I can conjure up. She's killing all sorts of bugs, so that's a good thing.

Anyway, the respective parental units are meeting each other tomorrow.....good times.

UGH!

On the phone with a client who complains that they've never had a computer work correctly for more than a day. This is the same client who wants to know where the happy place for her router is. I have to tell her exactly to double LEFT click on the IE icon. I have to tell her to LEFT click everything. She's a rich, snobby, snooty woman from NYC that has no clue how to operate her computer.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the day of days. That grand day when thousands of army men stormed the beaches of Normandy to secure Fortress Europe from the Nazi's. Remember those who served, and those who still serve.

Semper Fi!

Still not posting very often. Wish I hadn't broken the cycle.

Well...

I sure broke the cycle alright. It's been 5 days since I posted last. Lessee....what's changed? Not much really. Work is going good. Life is going good. I got a car, I think I mentioned that. Almost level 70 in WoW. Life is good....

Hmmm

Maybe I broke the cycle of posts every two days. We will see. Had some good calls today. Made the company some money. Life is good...sort of. Bank account is slowly (quickly?) dwindling, but alas, I have no control over that. The gods of oil and gas do.

Just took apart a hard drive that died a long time ago. I opened it up and looked at the shiny, pretty platters. It's kind of interesting to think that the ones from the 70/80's are these massive monstrosities that only held 640k and required ten platters and now I have (had? How would I type?) one in my hand that is an 80gb and it only has two platters. Very interesting.

Ok, I have to stop posting like this....

Been volunteering at Main Street Days in Grapevine the past couple of days. It's actually sort of fun, considering all I do is sit on my butt and watch people get drunk. Tomorrow, Sarah and I will go and get sloshed and walk around and stuff.

One thing I detest about large crowds is the insane idea that people can just stop walking and go, "hey, look at this!" I mean seriously folks, if you're gonna stop and look at something, go over to it and THEN stop. Don't stop in the middle of the walkway and look at it, decide you want to go over to it and then go over to it. We all know you're going to go up and look at it and ask a bazillion questions that have no real relevance over whether you're going to buy the item or not and then you'll end up buying whatever it is and then complaining later that you paid too much for it and then it will sit in a box in the garage and no one will ever see it and then you'll have a garage sale and sell it for 90% less than you paid for it.....

Anyway, Blizzard has released a new game and I am thinking about getting it. I have yet to play Starcraft, but I have played Warcraft 3 and Starcraft is supposed to be the better game.

This is wierd.

I'm posting like every other day. Crazy, I know, right? I got a new-to-me car yesterday. I put 3k on it and I pay 300 a month for 10 months. Good deal, right? What can I say? I'm lucky my girlfriend's dad is such a nice guy. More details to come later.

Still trying....

I'm still trying to get a car. This sucks. Maybe someone will have mercy on me and help me through this hard time by giving me the financing to buy a vehicle.

More stuff.....

Well, it just seems to get worse before it gets better. I got a call a couple of days ago that my grandfather (in Nashville, my dad's father) was in the hospital having open heart surgery and it would be a quadruple bypass. He's in his 70's, so it's not a genetic thing. Got a call yesterday, and my dad said he was going to be ok.

Got a call from an insurance adjuster from Allstate yesterday and I'm going to get more than I expected, by the tune of $4600. That just makes my day.

I will update more when I have more information.

Well, that's a relief

My mom got out of the hospital yesterday. She seems to be doing better.

It's awesome when your girlfriend's parents just hand you money for no reason.

Lots of work today, all in tarrant county, so I'll be local all day, most likely.
