Everything everything everything...
Wow! The middle of the week already. Time flies when your having fun... er working your ass off! Work has been super freaking busy. I've been busy setting up our new Dell PowerEdge 1850 Enterprise server (NEATO! okay not really) which has two dual core Intel Xeon processors in it. It's a pretty impressive machine. It will need to be to handle the things we have planned for it. On a crappier note (is crappier even a word?), work has been sucking. To make work worse it really feels like there are a bunch of people who just aren't pulling their weight. It's not like I'm this great wonderful employee by any means but I get my shit done. Plus, I wish people would make up their minds to what my job title and function is. One day I'm a testing & support manager, the next a product manager, the next I'm a testing & support & product manager & network admin & e-mail admin & IT admin & all around go-to guy. If it's technical related it falls on my head (PLOP!) It sucks. It wouldn't be so bad if I got paid like I should for having all those responsibilites but I make less than half of what I most definately should be. Not that I'm trying to be a whiner or anything. I love my job but... you know, I have a life that I want to live. I would like to be paid close to what I'm worth so I can progress in my life. I've got a future (Angela! Woot!) that I'm ready to start living. Money isn't everything but it sure helps make life easier.
It's been a few days since I've been in this new house and I like it. Yay for a door on my room! I'm still in the process of unpacking but I'm getting there. This new place shaves off about 10 minutes on my commute each way. I no longer have to deal with those freaking railroad tracks just to get to the freeway. When a train goes by it pretty much stops traffic for 10-20 minutes which blows.
Tomorrow I'm having lunch with my long-time good friend Grant. Should be cool. He's a cool guy that I used to work with for years and years at KeyLabs. Ah, the good old days cooking in our office without A/C testing Java applications and applets for Sun Microsystems.
I miss Angela. It's only been a couple days since I last saw her but I do. She is to me as what oxygen is to every living thing. She sent me numerous cute text messages today :) She made a somewhat lame day much brighter. She has that effect on me. She is the only person I know who can instantly make me light up with happiness. That's a rare thing and I love it. I love her.
I really should write in my blog in the mornings. It seems I ALWAYS have some deep soul-shattering thoughts but they only occur in the mornings. Maybe it's because I'm still half asleep and I think they are deep when in reality they probably suck! Ha-ha. Seriously though I need to take more time to write. I love writing. Wether it's just a random thought on some obscure page in one of my work notebooks or this blog. There is something about transfering thoughts and words down on paper or whatever. It's interesting to go back months, years or even decades and read these things. It's surprising to see how you change as a person and how events happen.
Anyways, my feet are cold. I should go stick them in someones diet coke to cool the soda down.
