I am having a really really really bad day. This morning wasn't so bad but I came over to the NSC building to look at a printer problem that Ginny was having something about "parts falling out of the printer" she wasn't lying either. I got a handful of parts for the 2000 sheet feeder. Yuck Yuck Yuck! So I am finding the spots the parts go in and putting them back. So Ill prolly be working on that the rest of the day. I hate being away from my desk. :^( So if anybody is looking for me on IM or anything then thats what happened to me today :^P

Heres a little picture I took of some poor beast that had been "rolled over" by the Minnesota Dept. of Transportation

Gross yet artistic.

Finished

Well considering I stole almost every bit of code and most everything else on there, it took a surprisingly long time...I must suck.

If anyone else wants added to the links thingy lemme know...Can you imagine how much more traffic Id get if everyone on the list linked back?

Ill hafta figure on a way to add it to the blogger template 2morrow so it can be a propper about page and link page and this way I dont have to reduce the amount of space im using for my blogger posts.

I really need to getto sleep now...

ZZZZZZ

Well I started a new web page last night (for pictures and linking to other peoples pages and crap like that) but I stayed up waaay to late working on it (about 2) and so now Im all groggy and crappy feeling, so im gonna be hitting the company provided caffiene pills pretty hard. I expect to, hopefully, have it all done with a link from my blogger template tonight or the next day...

-Yawn-

{Gum Blondes}

Woah! Isn't that crazy? Blondes made out of bubblegum. Huh...What will they think of next?

I didn't get done with anything I wanted to this weekend. No Snowman, most notably.

My friend Gregg needed some help moving furnature, and laying a carpet so I helped him do that. Not that I wanted to. I brought the kids with me so they wouldn't feel left out. Heh. That entailed a trip to maynards with the van since greggs vehicle couldn't handle that much carpet.

Oh well Im sure there will still be snow next weekend.

When I was a kid we had a kerosene heater. It was nice to sit around all day in the middle of january in my underware in front of it. I know thats not really socially acceptable behavior but cut me a break I was 10. There was nothing that could make me happier than my tub of legos and a full tank of kerosene. This doesn't really have anything to do with anything other than that I have an electric heater at my desk at work and when I am manning phones it produces the same too hot feeling the kerosene heater did, that feeling that my skin is going to dry up and crackle off. I love that feeling. And since I cant sit around in my underware with a tub of legos I guess its all I have.
Things I need to do today

1. E-File my taxes.
2. Replace the monitor on the downstairs computer.
3. Work on a computer for somebody I know at the downstairs computer desk with the monitor I replace.
4. Play civilization 3 after I take my GF to work tonight.
5. Complete the winxp installation Im doing at work and start testing applications the end users have.

Additionally, Im manning fones. Sounds like good ol' Dave Schultz is going to go for breakfast. The receptionist of my building is buying. And we are having alittle chess tourny at the house so maybe we can squeeze in another round of that if the kids ever get their homework done.

Sorry, My life is boring.

Ripway Web Hosting and Online File Storage

This place seems free 30 mb and 5 mb a day transfer...

Might be worth a look for those of you without image hosting.
Headache, Toothache...I think they might be related.....Im not feeling so hot today. Thats why Im glad its my day to man the helpdesk hotline at work. Its not too strenuous.

My GF cant seem to grasp that if she asks me todo something, I cant just ignore it. I MUST do it. One would think such a thing would be appretiated but she informs me that I do not need to take her every suggestion as gospel. I try to explain that I feel guilty if I dont do what she asks but she seems to think thats my problem not hers...I just wish she wouldn't ask me to stay off my computer.

Oh well..

Headache....

I was going to go sledding with the GF and the kids yesterday but our plans got spoilled by her sister. There is an upside to it, However its not very interesting. Her sister was at her Mom's for the weekend and her Mom decided to to go on that Atkin's diet and thusly had to get rid of all her food. So we had pro'lly 300 bucks of groceries delivered.

So I made Rice Crispy Bars. YUM!

I am back at NSC today training in Ginny on the things that go on here (broken citrix stuff, Bad Phones...ID10T errors and the like). And everything is caught up and I am BORED!

I hope everyone is having a nice slow day just like me!

:^D

It is too bad I didn't get to go sledding tho.

grltalky

I had so much fun with my robot
BrainWave Generator

Anybody think this thing works?

Maybe I do, but Im not convince totally yet.
SOME BASTARD STOLE ALL THE CANDY OUT OF MY DESK!

Wait until I find you! You stinking no good candy thief!
So anyway I stayed up way to late last night. I had to drop the GF off at her job at 10:30. Then I stopped over at Greggs where low and behold he was doing a winXP install. So of course he didn't let me leave there until 1. Then I went home and played civilization 3(The most complicated yet addicting game ive played in awhile) until about 2.

Then I passed out.

And then to make matters worse my GF had reset the alarm clock so it wasn't set for 6:50 like it was spose' to be...Luckily my internal clock must be pretty accurate because I got up at 7:10, I was having some funky dream about being with the Australian Prime Minister during the beginning of a nuclear war...All I could think of in the dream was that if I was with the American President we would be safe in a bunker and that it was too bad I was stuck in Australia.

Today is my day to answer phones on the helpdesk which is good because considering how much sleep I got I dont feel really motivated. Ive been here for 20 minutes and no one has called or submitted a support ticket since Ive been here.
ZZZZZZZZZ

Oh sorry...My coworker was talking about her bowling game and it was pretty somniferus.

In other news Im supposed to convert all my stuff here over to winXP and theres some phone programming to work on. I dont know how motivated I am tho...I guess we will see how well the company provided Caffeine Pills will combat my lethargy.

Ill proll'y post some links or something fun in a bit.

Some fellow bloggers are talking about my parents so I thought I'd clear the air about that:

My mother is a horrible alcoholic weighing in at 80 pounds with green skin, no sense of propriety and a never ending memory lapse. Its not really her fault though because my father is a certifiable psychotic who has been in and of prison and mental institutions all his life. I stopped talking to him when I forced my mother to take me and my sister on an out of state flight 15 years ago...I was 13, and at the time he had just finished kicking her down 2 flights of stairs and fractured her skull and ankle. Since then all she has done is drink, drink, drink. Apparently that stuff about being drunk not getting rid of your problems is only accurate if you eventually quit drinking. I stopped talking to her about 2 years ago after she was hospitalized because her lower intestines had gone gangrenous. She got out of the hospital and flushed the 2 months of sobriety she had been forced to endure down the toilet by returning to her budweiser only diet plan.

I could tell stories about my parents all day that would curl your hair. Dead pets, My sister's first holy communion, his gun collection, watching the two of them urinate on themselves while sleeping naked on the living room couch. the tin of plastic explosive in the dining room, a lunchbox full of asbestos. Him in a shootout with the police...I could go on and on and on.

So you guys will have to guess again about why I have nothing to say. Its certainly not for fear of offending my parents. I dont hate them or anything. I just know that to deal with them would hurt me, and I think the 2 of them have hurt me enough in my life. Better to just leave them alone and live my life without them.

And I didn't write this to garner sympathy from anyone either. Im glad that they put me through the hell they did. Without that I wouldn't be the person I am today. And "gosh darnit I like me". After all that the world could never bring me down. Ive been through misery and I know what helplessness and depression are truly like. These days my life is all rainbows and fuzzy kittens in comparison. Im glad my parents can illuminate the world in such a way. And im glad they provided such a good example of what not to do. I couldn't have done anything without them.

Anyway, enough about that.

If tif wants she can read more about SMS and Novell at their websites. I work on a helpdesk for a big corporation so I need to mess with the stuff and I wrote about it because I had nothing better to write about. (thanks for getting me away from the nerdiness for awhile.)

Information on SMS
Novell

I hope everyone has a good day and I hope my stories of broken homes, drug abuse and the unsavable reprobates of the human race didn't get you guys down.

And incidentally my boss says I am a run-on writer and my compositions are hard to read(but im a technician not a writer). Maybe thats why I usually dont bother.
Im afraid I really have nothing to say but Im trying to be more like the wordy worldly interesting-type bloggers I see out there in the www (or somethin like that)

Too bad im gonna fail...

We tried to fix the 60 PC's on the floor that are refusing to take the SMS client. I thought that the culprit was the novell client because I tested like 5 that reinstalation of the novell client fixed but after the helpdesk touched 60 PC's we still have about 30 unworking...Im going to have to co-ordinate with the Network analysts again to do some testing and find out what the problem is now that we know its not bad novell instalations. I hope the director of IT is happy enough with only 30 un-working. I think that 30 out of 450 is not so bad...And theres going to be less everyday.

In other news Im due for a raise and I need to go do some telecom stuff at the corp building.

BAD RELIGION LYRICS - The Fast Life

The silent stray inertia
No burden on my back
No determinance, no ballast
No chance of looking back
It doesn't matter what's ahead
It's time I'll hit it hard
No fixing my position
No sign of retard
It's the fast life
There's nothing I can do
The fast life
Suck it in and follow through
The fast life
Just learning as I go
You might call it careless
but this fast life
is all I've ever known
Like a wispy feather
Defying gravity
Or a rolling cobble
in the middle of the stream
Propelled by a ghost force
that never shows his face
Increase the ante
of this perpetual pace
It's the fast life
There's nothing I can do
Ever since the day I crawled out of the womb
my head was always banging off the walls in the room
Always scratching gravel, covering new ground
no matter how hard they tried they couldn't keep me DOWN
It's the fast life
There's nothing I can do
The fast life
Suck it in and follow through
The fast life
Just learning as I go
You might call it careless
but this fast life
is all I've ever known
