Yeah... I know... it's been almost a month since I last updated. But that's ok... I'm not gonna say much in this update either... maybe. We'll see how this goes.
GWW is only like 2 weeks away.... Scary. I have to sew a couple pairs of linen shorts... One for my ritual bath Sat morning and one for partying in Sat night.
Going to see Muse tonight! Pretty excited about that. Not excited about the fact that it is going to rain and the concert is at the Irvine Meadows Amphitheater. IMA is an OUTDOOR venue.... yay for concert going in the rain! hehehe It will be fun anyway. Just need to remember to dress warm right? Not sure about plans for the rest of the weekend though. I'm sure Rachael said something was going on but I dont remember what it is. Maybe we'll just be able to sit back and relax... hahahahaha... right....
Their Majes are in Western Seas for the weekend. Should be cool for them but I'm taking advantage of not having to be at an event and NOT going to an event. Besides... the only event that I would be interested in going to would be Newbie Knockabout and that's WAY up in Wintermist. No thanks....
I will NOT succumb to this sickness that is trying to get me. There are 3 people in my general vicinity here at work that are either sick or on their way back from being sick. Connie is finally feeling better, Chuck is out sick today, and someone that I dont know (new guy) is not feeling well either.... everyone is paranoid here. Not that I blame them. I've been sucking down my Halls Defense Vitamin C drops... but I started feeling blah yesterday and thats usually a sign that I'm in the clutches of the dreaded sickness. I still hold out hope that I will be able to ward it off or at least temper the severity of the sickness. I am NOT down with the sickness.
So there has been a dearth of work to do here for me and I have not been motivated to try to learn new stuff that will give me more work. I prefer to be busy at work. I like the feeling that I've accomplished something at the end of the day. Instead, I've been sitting here, trying to spread out what little work I do get. It's kind of stressing me out. I dont like the feeling of wondering when they are going to think that they dont need me anymore because I'm not getting a lot of work. But do I do anything about it? No. The only option I have is to work with the people up north in San Jose and that is difficult because of the distance. It's hard to learn new things remotely. and, of course, it's not just as easy as picking up a book to learn the system... no... it's all written in house. With no documentation of course. And everything is constantly changing. "Oh... you're still using the old macro that we changed a month ago. You should use this new macro in place of it BUT only in these specific circumstances. Balh blah blah..."
ok.... I'll stop whining now. It's just frustrating.
So that's my story. Good times. Life is good in general. Things are going relatively well and I cant really complain to much. I have a great son, a great GF, great friends.... life is indeed good.
