repeatclearly I'm playing favorites with the alt and tab keys.
I used to work at a computer litigation firm where i was supposed to be coding 85 documents an hour, which is actually easier than you would think. We were told that any time that we used the mouse, we were losing time. So we had to learn (and use!) all of the crazy shortcuts involving alt, tab, and ctrl. I barely use the mouse when i'm using a PC now...which is sort of fun when someone is watching over my shoulder at what i'm doing. It's funny to help someone, with them not having a clue as to how you switched windows, saved, printed, and copied everything.
And for some unknown reason, at this office we use a completely character based system. So, no easy to read screens, no easy way to correct your errors without retyping evertyhing, utilization of the F# keys, and a LOT of repetition. Also, you can't just copy or paste by using ctrl+c and ctrl+v. You either have to right click with the mouse, or do it throught the edit menu. Of course, if you're like me, you just press alt, e, then c/p!
I know I know...this is possibly the geekiest thing i could talk about...but I do this for many hours every day, and i thought i should share this part of my life with you.
Oh!
I do have something more interesting.
I'm 97% sure now that i will be moving to Chicago. The missing three percent is due to the unlikely scenario of losing my legs or being run over by a bus.
So I've been trying to figure out my current living situation. I don't want to live with Caleb, but i probably won't be able to afford an apartment by October 1st. Plus, it would be hard to find a place that would allow a month to month lease, three month lease, yes, but I think the moving would happen in the middle of january, not the beginning.
I could attempt to continue to live with Caleb, but he might not wake up some morning. That would be bad.
Machete just bought a house so we could potentially help each other out...me helping with the mortgage, and him putting a roof over my head.
Shea raised an interesting option last night though. I'm not sure how serious he was, but...he said i could probably live at his Mom's house. Now...I know that sounds weird but things were weirder before. Shea's Mom works and mostly lives in chicago. She comes home almost every weekend, but has a condo in chicago. She owns the house here in GR...so all she would ask of me and nick is that we help out with the gas and electric bills. If that were to happen, after all of my expenses, by the time I'd move I'd have well over $4,000 and then tack on whatever Shea has.
Pretty sweeeeeet. I'm not getting my hopes up though. Everything still has to be talked about and worked out.
And to describe the aforementioned "weird" part, I'm going to attempt to map it out:
Jesse---------currently dating-------Shea
| \______ |
| \ |
lives with \ lives with on the weekends
used to date \ used to date
| might live with |
| pseudo dated |
| \ | currently lives with
Caleb -------------------Nick*-----used to date---------John**
*lives at Shea's mom's house
**currently lives in the house, but will be kicked out soon due to his inability to find a job
the weirdest part of all this is that, other than Caleb, everyone's fine with The Way Things Are.
gay people are effed up, yo.
Caleb Quote of the Month:
"That cat just attacked that cat and boff!"
He said this after watching a video of a pigeon attacking a cat and dog.He had no idea he should have said "that bird just attacked that cat and dog". I'm serious. He didn't have a clue that what he said was completly wrong.
what the boff?
