I've been working insane hours (with no extra compensation, of course.)
My DSL or something on my home network... I can't tell which... is dropping out.
The roof on my rental property needs replaced.
My over-priced smartphone's touchscreen isn't working. Which makes the whole thing very useless.

And that's just off the top of my head from this past week.

I feeling like punching something. But I'm sure i'd only end up breaking something. Probably my hand.]]> Sun, 20 Sep 2009 16:50:00 +0000
I'm not ashamed to admit that it's working. The damn thing is making me crazy. I can't find him. I've sprayed some toxic chemical that really probably is only meant to be used outdoors all around the Geek Cave trying to kill the fucker, but it doesn't seem to have any impact on him.

Who do I know he's fucking with me? Trust me, I can tell. He Chirps, I look in the general direction it came from, he stops. I look away, it starts again. It's making me crazier than usual. And that's no good.

So I've worked 28 hours in the last two days, and that's awesome. And when I finally do get home, I have so much manic energy, I created a new partition on my PC and installed Ubuntu 9.04. The idea being that I can leave the system dual boot for a while, so that I can have a soft transition from Debian to Jaunty. This doesn't even make sense.

I'd right more... but I got to go. This cricket, you see, he's fucking with me.]]> Wed, 16 Sep 2009 04:08:00 +0000
Today I go to fishing. On the Chesapeake Bay. I caught a Rock Fish and I couple blue fish. Then thanks to the miracle of DVR I was able to watch my Ravens win the Season Opener and set a franchise record for producing over 500 yards of Offense.

Sounds like a pretty good day... huh?

And it should have been... but, due to details that I won't get into here, my day got shit on. And all that other stuff doesn't matter. I had a great day and it totally got ruined.

I'm sure tomorrow at work will be much better.]]> Mon, 14 Sep 2009 02:49:00 +0000
I feel compelled to keep blogging.

Work sucked. Again. It looks like I'll be working extra hours (and yes, I'm salaried) for the rest of the month. This can't keep up. There is no upside to this. No raise. No promotion. Not even getting caught up or an 'atta boy.'

Last week my boss called me out in front of everyone, over nothing. Seriously. Nothing. But by the time she relaized it, it was too late. So she had keep at so that she didn't have to admit she was wrong.

This week I got what will have to pass as an apology. It was more of "Jeckles, you're doing a pretty good job."

Whatever.

I'm supposed to go to Hershey Park tomorrow. So, of course, it looks like rain. We may brave it anyhow,]]> Sat, 12 Sep 2009 05:13:00 +0000
