I appologize…

…To everyone who reads this that I personally interact with on a regular basis – for being a bit grumpy and moody lately. I don’t really know what it is, but I’ve just been a bit down lately. Unfortunately this means that I react poorly to certain situations and have a tendency to lash out at people with little provocation. I am sorry for this, I feel like there’s something missing from my life right now and I haven’t found what it is yet. As a result, I spend most every day waiting for whatever is missing to present itself, and whenever something doesn’t go the way I’d like, or I don’t get quite what I want, I get just a bit more depressed and moody (this occurs most when I’m eating dinner and it’s not something I wanted).

It’s Cooooooooold out there

Well, it seems the cold weather has finally come. I’ve actually wanted and needed my coat the last couple days outside. It’s refreshing for someone like me who misses the cold weather. We’ve been building more fires lately too, not that they’ve been really impressive yet (except the one I did on Tuesday while we were trimming the tree, that one was pretty good). At the very least they’ve been better than the ones I did on Halloween and before.

Who reads these things anyway?

Well, I took the day off work yesterday to play EQOA. Unfortunately my broadband provider was down most of the day. I don’t know if I’m doing well, but I got up to level 7 with all my intermittent efforts. That sounds good to me, but it probably isn’t in the long run.

The Monday After

I have to say, it was smaller than expected, but at the same time it was a really good party. I had a good time, pretty much everyone I’ve talked to has said the same. I didn’t get as drunk as I did at the New Years party we had last year (I stopped drinking at Midnight and was still too drunk to walk at 3:00), but I still had a hell of a good time. I dressed up as a big white bunny and for some reason was really animated throughout the entire party. I think it’s because the costume felt like a mascot uniform so I kept getting up and jumping around like a mascot at a football game. Really strange. I bought some Absente (refined Absinthe) for the party, I’ve been wanting to try it for a couple years now. I can say it was really good but really strong. It’s definitely a sipping alcohol, at least for me it is. Wow! I’ve still got pretty much an entire bottle, I’m sure I’ll have a little now and then when I’m feeling vaguely surreal or impressionist.

Another Day, Another bill paid.

I can’t say that I make more than my bills cost me, we’re in a pretty even ballancing act these days, but I can see the load lightening. We both got raises and seem to be cutting back debt a bit. Also, I cannot stress how cost effective a simple programable thermostat is!

Back to Work!

Well, I’m back at work. I’m feeling much better now, my cold is pretty much only in my ears.

We’re inplementing new security systems on the PCs in the lab to combat the hackers. Unfortunately we have to down most of the lab so I have faculty who are unaware of the hacking at all coming in a complaining that the lab is pretty much inoperable on the PC side. We’re doing everything we can to get it all up by the end of the day. Maybe I should work through lunch.

End of the Day

Well, the day’s over, I feel like I’m starting to make progress on the whole hacking issue. It definitely feels like a progress of three steps forward, two steps back, but that’s still progress, isn’t it?

Another Morning I wish I had called in Dead

Last night was the first actual game night for my new Bebop game. I feel that it went really well, I don’t know how the players felt, but I think it carried the feel and motiff of the show well. I think the group will mesh well in time, though last night was a little stiff. Most people are still trying to get into their characters, but I like the interaction I’ve seen so far. I’m really excited about the game now, I almost wish it was weekly instead of every other week. Maybe if I ran on Fridays or something. I’ll noodle the idea and see what comes up.

Rain.

“His name is Henry, Clay Henry
Spent his life eating burgers and fries,
Now he’s down to a smaller size.
He’s Henry, Clay Henry!”

Ugh, Will it NEVER END?

Six more machines hacked today. We’re going to up our security, you hear that you malicious bastards? We’re password protecting our machines, get the fuck out of my virtual world.

Anyway, other than work, things are going pretty good, and really, hackers aside, work isn’t so bad either. I’m doing my best to log my work… (crap, BRB)…
