Not a Way to Start.

I’ve already put out one fire so far this morning. Damn computers!

So I had this random ass dream last night, about me and Skinny…. How random, cause I haven’t seen him in years! We were spending a weekend together at my grandparents for some reason. And we showered together, but nothing sexual happened. We were just hanging out as friends. Very strange. I’d really like to see Mike again, although we were never good friends, he was always fun to hang out with.

I’ve been awake since 1 this morning. Blah. 🙁

Good news! I might get to see Blake on the 13th. And depending on if he can get away from the Monster-In-Law, he might be coming all the way down to the OC! So I’m excited already, but I’ll be super duper excited once all the plans are finialized!

Got the company christmas party invites yesterday. Cocktails at 6:30 and then dinner at 7, with free passes to the park for all day. Blah!

I also got another e-mail from the guy offering me a job. It’s like the exact SA job that I want, here’s the description he gave me:

The specific duties include ordinary things like dealing with our various hardware devices & related applications – linux & mac servers, email & ftp & web servers, routers, firewalls, mac laptops, asterisk phone switch, backups, monitoring, telecom lines, network printers, etc. – mostly in support of your co-workers and sometimes for our clients. For example, we have demanding & changing security compliance requirements and we need to change/improve many things to meet those requirements. Also we want to implement enterprise-class disaster recovery (using a combination of interesting opensource technologies like xen & drbd). Also we want to implement a global ldap/directory system for our distributed offices & clients (haven’t yet decided whether to use apple’s or redhat’s ldap implementations). Also we want to implement a wikipedia-like system for our product documentation (would be used by thousands of users around the world). Also we want to upgrade our bugzilla issue tracking system and integrate it more tightly with our business partners. Also want to automate monitoring of our systems & services. As you might imagine, there is no end to the projects necessary to keep a company modern & competitive, and you would play a role in many of them.

AND they just switched from all Desktop PCs to Mac desktops! Woot! It sounds like an amazing job.. Sad thing is that I’d have to take a 15,000 pay cut. Which I really don’t want to be doing. So yeah.

I wish my cat would understand that taking these damn pills is for her own good! Stupid animals.

Blake made me watch this amazing movie yesterday called, “House of Sand and Fog.” I dunno how old it is, but if you haven’t seen it you MUST go watch it! I was crying 30 minutes into the movie and it only got sader from there… But I HATE the fucking Cop man, he’s a freaking bitch, I wish the kid would have shot him.

But you know I’ve been very emotional lately because commercials have been making me cry, so yeah.

I want to go romp around in the snow with someone sexy and make snow angels!

On Friday I was in Laguna Beach and found my next art purchase. It’s an original, 7feet wide by 6feet tall. It’s amazing. Now I just have to save money to buy it!

Adios.

Inventory

Haha, so I just did all my laundry and find it amazing how many clothes I have, and actually wear!

So here’s an inventory:

45 Pairs of Underwear

6 pairs of shorts

9 Pairs of blue jeans

80 shirts

8 Dress shirts

3 pairs of slacks

6 Jackets

10 stocking caps

50 pairs of socks

1 pair of gloves

and only 10 pairs of shoes!

Clearly I need more shorts and shoes!

I really need more jeans though because mine are getting old and torn up, but they are always so expensive!

Oh, and I have a pile to go to good will with about 10 pairs of shirts and 2 jeans.

I just think it’s funny.

Adios.

Damn Cats

Why is it that whenever I splurge on myself to get something nice, something big always comes up that I HAVE to pay for.

I took the cat to the vet yesterday… $500!! Holy shit. She didn’t throw up again after we took her, but she did this morning about 8. I tried giving her the meds they gave her… 2 pills and this sticky stuff. It was really gross. I couldn’t get the damn pills down her though. And she dug her claws all the way into my thumb, it bled for like 30 minutes. damn cat!

Anyways, laundry day today! adios

So remember a few weeks ago I was supposed to go up to Big Bear with this guy Joshua? Well as you know, I never called him and he enver called me so we never went.

Well this week he IMed me and was like, “You wanna go again”. So I said, sure i’ll give him another chance. So I called him twice yesterday and sent him a few txt messages and the bitch never called me back. Stupid fag. I can’t wait till he gets online on Monday so I can fucking bitch at him. God that just pisses me off.

You know what else pisses me off. Stupid people that I work with. I sent this guy a Wiki Doc with SiteIDs.. (Wiki is basically a paage anyone can change to update, etc). He e-mails me back saying. “That page has old info”.

I just want to e-mail him back and say. “The fucking fix it”. You asked for the information, i sent it to you. I fucking spent a WEEK gathering that information and putting it into there, it is NOT OLD. And if you fucking think it’s old, then do your fucking job and update it you stupid fucker.

Sorry, this guy just hits a spot in all of us SAs. He calls at 1 or 2 in the morning for STUPID problems. He NEVER calls the right person, he IMs you on the weekends or whenever he damn well pleases and expects an INSTANT responce, and if you don’t give him one he freaks out. Then when you DO reply to him he often doesn’t get back to you for hours.

I put up my christmas tree yesterday, put some garland/lights on my mantle, and put lights in my slider door. I’d like to do more then that, but just not in the mood to spend that money. I have too many other things to pay for right now.

My cat has been throwing up hard core style lately. I’m going to take her to the vet here soon.

And I broke my classes today. Thankfully I have my contacts and my old glasses to wear till I get my FB card and can get a discount at Pearl Vision. Fuck you company for not having vision insurance!

Speaking of companies. I got an e-mail from a guy I interviewed with back in April ’04. He’s adding a new SA job to his company and offered me the job. I musta made a good impression when I was here for him to keep my information around that long! I’m going to e–mail and ask for some more information. Though I don’t think I’ll go with it as I didn’t really like the office when I was there last time, plus I don’t really want to change jobs, unless I’m moving out of the OC.

Adios.
