another long, bitchy one
All the grandparents are over. I don't care at all. I can't talk to them... they want to know about my life and I can't tell them anything because I don't have one. I can't talk to them about things that they are interested in because they think that plants and birds are interesting subject matter. So, just like almost everyone else ever I end up just sitting there saying very little. And of course, Grandma (Dyson) keeps trying to talk to me when I get up in the morning. I just want to go STOP TALKING. STOP. SHUT UP. IT IS THE MORNING, NO TALKING NOW. But of course I'm to nice to do something like that to my own Grandmother who is just trying to be nice, and find out about stuff.
Asking all the usual annoying questions too. "Have you thought about where you are going to work?" No, of course not. I have no idea what I want to do with my pathetic excuse for a life. "Well, what sort of things do you want to do?" Didn't I just answer that? "Well, what part of the country do you want to live in." I don't care! Just not here in the damn swamp. Though, I really don't even car enough to not live here if I end up with a good job offer here for something that I don't know what it could be because I don't know what I want to do with my life.
I started back at Tietronix on Wednesday. They immediately set me on this urgent project that they have... that is incredibly boring. They have some sort of educational CD that they are producing with someone I don't know. Anyway, I'm basically ripping a NASA site and converting it to a different format. I had to do a lot of HTML fixing to get it to work properly since the layout that they generated in Adobe Image Ready (I didn't even know that Image Ready could do that) was totally sucktacular. It's still not really optimized, but they don't really care about that since it's going onto a CD and so far I think the total amount of content that we are including on the CD is less than 5 Mb, so we have plenty of space. Like how the Flash thing I made was going on a CD and ended up being like 12 Mb.
I really need to get more sleep. I always end up doing this... Stay up until 2, and then I get up at like 7:30, but then when I want to go to sleep at like midnight or whatever I can't sleep. Damnit... It's going to take me weeks to get to where I can even get to sleep before 1. I can't even try to go to bed early right now since for some reason the parents decided that Ruth and Ralph should stay in my damn room and I have to sleep upstairs. Grandpa is not an invalid... he just can't remember things. Oh well... I can't complain that much but it sure is annoying. I have to go to bed after Mom and Dad because there is no way that I could sleep with them in the room. Both days so far Dad has come up and no matter how quiet he is I wake up instantly and can't really sleep while he's here. So wooo I don't get to sleep this weekend to make up the sleep that I don't get during the week because of being an idiot and other various factors.
Dad got these $300 Bose headphones for himself and they are better than the speakers on my computer. Now I must get some (maybe not $300) nicer speakers for my computer (Also, I've been feeling that the sub on these is underpowered, or maybe damaged.) In addition, now I want a nice set of headphones too for next semester when I know that I'll be up later than everyone else in the apartment just because I am like that. Also, Chad rarely goes to sleep later than midnight, and usually before then.
Which reminds me, Chad apparently feels that because he has a cell phone, and Shawn has a cell phone, and Chris (I think that's the other guy's name) has a cell phone, that we won't need a land line and can save $25 a month or I have to pay for all of it since they wouldn't really sue it. Great. Fuckers. I guess I don't really mind... but it'd make it hard to follow up on any "call me some time" sort of things I might get from girls. Not that I think that is likely. Damnit...
