A point of note to some people.

If you leave a comment on my blog and I have no idea who you are, please leave me some way of replying to your comment. That way, I can thank you for your comment and see who is viewing my page. If you don't leave me a way to contact you, well, that sucks for me, I guess.

GAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!! WHY! Why must it be so difficult?!?!?!



Just kidding honey, I love you!

Interesting.

I like this quote.

Communism doesn't work because people like to own stuff.

A few things.

I know my post from Sunday only has a blank line in it. It's got a video of Evanescence playing in it and I have to figure out how to get it from my phone to my computer.

Anyway, Sarah and I were driving around the lake today and we pulled into a previously flooded park area to look at the damage and as we were driving around it, she saw a snake with a fish. We turned around and watched the snake (a cottonmouth) try to pull the fish into the foliage surrounding the road. The cottonmouth pulled it about halfway and then gave up. It was really awesome watching nature work. The fish weighed more than the snake, but it was dead, so the snake was having to pull really hard, coiling it's body up and then pulling backwards. I think it got scared of us because it dropped the fish and went back into the grass. The first thing we did when we got home was look up snakes of Texas and it was definitely a young cottonmouth, with a dark pattern and kind of greenish and a big white mouth. This is the link to the page we looked at and it definitely looked like the snake. Also, you could tell where the water from the flooding had been up to, cause the ground was a pale white and green color and there was plenty of moss everywhere.

Job situation is getting kind of desperate. I interviewed for an IT place in Dallas on Tuesday and I'm still waiting to hear back. Supposedly they really liked me but they want to interview others so they get an idea of what they're looking for, or something like that. My old employer called me and I basically told him to go screw.

Crappy video from the concert

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.
