I’m feeling a little less fuzzy tonight. I took off early from work to get a haircut. Since I was out in Bethesda anyways, I stopped by my uncle’s place to say hello.
Do I lead a thrilling life or what. ‘Scuze me while I take my Geritol.
I mean, God help me, I even cleaned my apartment tonight! If thatisn’t sick, I don’t know what is.
I’m really looking forward to the family reunion coming up. I know I went and met all those people last year, but this year is different. My father will be there. I will probably for the first time be able to hear about his life first hand.
And of course, there is the opportunity to pick on Linds, and watch Shorty make a royal ass of himself.
But first, I have Jethro’s wedding this weekend. I’m off to Rochester, which would be more exciting if there was anyone left in town I knew. Even Nicolas is busy with his parents this week.

I talked with Sara last night. She has this nasty habit of making me feel good.
If you get bored enough when you’re sitting on the subway, you’ll notice that as the train picks up real speed, the windows start to bow inwards. Between that and quick changes in elevation, your ears will pop depending on where and when you go.

Cool shit… we’ve got 4 sub-leasees now for our new office.
A photographer, some CPAs, a data mining company, and a magazine.
And a verbal agreement to rent our old office. It’s much easier on the nerves to know you won’t be responsible for rent on empty offices.
Missed my haircut though. *grumble*
My own office… so sweet.

I am tired fer shit. Just generally worn out. Didn’t physically wear myself out really… but still worn thin.
We’re packed to move. Stayed around until the dismantlers came late and finished. I’ll be back in the morning to reassemble the network. Fuckin DSL wont be up for 3 days at best, more likely 2 weeks.
shit, I need to go look up how to set up this network.

oh my god, oh my god, oh my god…
okay… couldnt get that out of my mind. 🙂
he-ya… finally moving at work. into a major nice new office. custom built for us. and hot damn I have my own office. well.. for now. Will eventually share it with someone else, but until they get hired, I’m safe.
The windows are great, at least in the front of the building. It’s so bright in those offices the lights make no difference. I chose my particular office for the view, managing to avoid having to look at our old building every day. My view will actually cover the top floors of this great old office building with an ornate roof.
We had a circular conference room built … sort of a cross between your childhood club house and a UFO. we’ve got 20 or so offices, a kitchen, a store room etc.
and the shit hits the fan tommorrow… At 1, we attack!
Well, the packing anyways.
Actually my only duty for the next 2 days is to strip down the computers, see them safely moved, and then reassemble them (and the networking hardware). It’s not easy being a geek. 🙂
Stacey’s birthday is in a few days. I’m sure she thinks I forgot. (Hell, I did forget Sara’s after all).
I need food.

PrimusDSL sucks.
Go ahead… sue me for libel. I’ve got no money to lose.
But damnit… when you’ve been working for a month to move a DSL line to a new location, things out to work. I shouldn’t have to call them to learn that three days ago they found out nothing would work, which was itself 6 days after they should have known weather it would work or not.
And since Verizon, nay Bell Atlantic, is controlled by people scared of the internet and what it will do to their business, it takes all but an act of God to get them to do anything regarding DSL service.
Fuck em all.

Whenever I go from Washington to New York, I pass through a small — very small — town in Pennsylvania called Canton. Nothing particularly stands out about the place. It’s population probably only numbers in the hundreds, or a couple thousand at best. I didn’t see any national chain stores or big business.
What I did see, when driving through last year, was a sheet of paper stapled to the utility pole. All it said was “yard sale. across from high school”.
It may just have been nostalgia from growing up in a small town, but this sign fascinated me. I can’t imagine anymore living in a place so secluded and rural.
Maybe it brought home to me how much my own life has changed. I once was part of that life that now seems so foriegn to me.
I’m certian that small town life and all it’s experiences is still in me, if for no other reason than how much the sight of Canton appeals to me every time I drive through.

If you’re gonna call me at 7 in the morning to sell me crap I don’t need, you should at least have the decency to talk to me in person so I can tell you where to go.
would you guess I’m not a morning person?

You have to wonder what goes on in this city after dark. I can hear someone going at i with a jackhammer out there. How does anyone use a jackhammer after dark — and why?

I went to the National Mall after work. The Airforce and Border Patrol had displays set up, with tanks, helicopters, jets, and mobile rocket launchers. Being the violent, opressive american I am, I had to see them, and take some pictures.
There is something eerie about framing a picture of a high calibre tank with the American Capitol Building as the back drop.
I’ll put up links to the pictures when theyre ready.

Okay, so my previous attempts at keeping (what are apparently now-a-days called) weblogs have been miserable. But it is usually due to the amount of work it took to manually post new sh*t up. I looked over several blog services, but I like this one because all the files are stored right on your server, not the company’s.
We’ll see where this takes me.
