Stupid people.

Hmm, so what have I been up too? Nothing but work! Work! and MORE WORK!

I’ve been putting in 12 hours days lately. Although I still find time to hit the beach and bike. 🙂 I’m really going to have to put some hard core time into the gym. I’m just not sure when I could fit that into my schedule. Like, I want to do it right after work, since I’m already out and about. But then I miss out on prime beach time. But if I do the beach first, then I’m too lazy to change and go to the gym. Also if I wait then it’s prime gym time and the place is packed. Ugh. Such hard decisions I have in my life!

Yesterday was deadline 1 of my project and it got shown to the AMs. So after work I hung out with Robert and didn’t have to think about it. That was nice for once! 🙂 Deadline 2 is in two weeks, so starting Monday it’s back to coding for 12 hours a day!

It felt really good showing off this project to everyone and they were all like amazed. I took the small requirements they asked for and made this thing amazing. Usually when you get to this part of the project and show them the mock ups they always want to add TONS of things. I only got a few minor requests. So that was really nice feeling. Today I’m just relaxing at work, taking care of some things that have had to be put on hold during the first part of this project.

So yeah, here it is Friday. I’m working in NB today. It’s nice to have my window office back. It gets really bad sitting in the office with no windows. Though, I suppose it’s better then a cube, which I’ll be in soon. :'(

I’m a bit annoyed about today though. The week before Dustin left for home we talked about what I’d do when I came down on Fridays. He graciously offered up his place for me to crash. I’ve been trying to contact him all week to try and figure out what’s going on and he won’t respond at all. I finially got out of him that he is going to the boom, but I still don’t know if I have a place to sleep or not, so it’s kinda annoying.

This seems relevant to today’s drive to OC:

“Pay more attention to what you’re doing. Look down the road ahead of (you) not right at the end of the hood,” Casey said.

The other day I was driving home from work and saw a lady stopped in the middle of a three lane side street… Right behind her was an AAA truck, filling her up with a gallon of gas. Anyone want to venture a guess as to what’s on either side of her? That’s right, A GAS STATION on both sides of the street! Why couldn’t she have just WALKED to either side of the street and purchased a gallon of gas instead of calling AAA!?

Carlito wants to drink in my bed…. ;D lol

BTW, this is hilarious! Lynn Westmoreland is a dumbass!

Ok, it’s seriously taken me all day to write this! I’m out.

Music vs Conf Calls

Day #3 at the new place.. Things have been going well. I’m really enjoying my new place.

Yesterday after work I went home and went for a bike ride along the beach. So many hot boys! 🙂 Yum yum. I’m really going to have to hit the gym more to be able to keep up with these hotties! 😀

After that I went and sat on the beach for an hour and read. I wanted to stay longer, but I had way too much work to do.

Like I said, everyone in my complex is so friendly, like when you see people out and about they all say HI, the guy upstairs came over last night and we talked and he gave me some tips of how to get to the office. I’m really liking the area.

Speaking of, work is ok. But annoying. The people at the new office are SO bitchy! Yesterday morning I got here at 5:30, and had my music going. It wasn’t very loud at all, but all of a sudden someone walks past my door and says, “Chris you _have_ to turn that off, it’s driving me crazy.”.. And before I could even LOOK up to see who it was, they were gone… Excuse me bitch! First off, I didn’t fucking know anyone else was HERE at 5:30, when I came in ALL the lights were off. Second, couldn’t you have stopped in and said, “Hey chris, I can hear that in my office, would you mind turning it down?”… To which I would have said, “Yeah, no problem.. I’m sorry, I didn’t know anyone else was here.”

Ugh! But then these damn people use the fucking speaker phone for EVERYTHING. Checking VM, making personal calls. And they NEVER shut the doors. So all day long it’s just this LOUD annoying roar of people on the fucking phone. Excuse me, but how is that LESS annoying then my music. It’s not like I’m playing fucking hard core music. It’s STAR/JACK FM type music! Ugh. I also really hate this whole having to wear Business Casual/Pro. Ugh.

Yesterday, I also had to share the office with the VPs and CEO. That was annoying as well. But they are cool guys, so it wasn’t too bad. I got a lot done. But it’s just annoying cause they were constantly wanting updates on what I was doing. Granted we are coming up on a deadline for it, but seriously. Give me some time people! I’m not a machine!

Also the new desk/chair are both very uncomfortable!

Thinking about having a party saturday night. So far 3 people have said they would come. I’m not sure if that’s enough to warrent making them drive up here.

I’m out!

All Moved In

Well I’m all moved in… I’m officially an LA boy now.

The day went well. Andrew and I were up early and I went and picked up the truck. We got an early start packing that up and then Robert was 30 minutes late. So by the time he got there all that was left was the big stuff. So we packed that up and then we all went to lunch. Drove up to RB and unpacked.

Everyone up there was SO NICE! People actually went out of thier way to come knock on my door and introduce themselves to me! The guy upstairs even invited me up to give me tips on how to get to/from my office! It was so crazy!

After that they stayed and helped me unpack which was a HUGE help! It was so great.

About 6ish we headed back to the OC. Andrew and I went to dinner, and then back to my old place to pick up the cats. As we were leaving I started to cry a bit… As much as I hated it, I’m going to miss it.

As I was driving up the 405 to my new place the sunset was amazing with a huge bright orange sun setting just over the horizon on the 405… As I drove off on my last time as an OC boy… I had tears most of the way back, but no where near as bad as the Iowa -> Cali trip 2 years ago…

I slept ok, but woke up a few times throughout the night.. at one point I caught Tux climbing the window screen! Damn cat… I can already tell they are NOT happy about not having anywhere to sit and look out the window.

Adios!

2 Years!

Hmm, well I sure didn’t plan this, but here I am moing on the 2 year anniversary of my entrance to California.

Crazyness. Everything is all packed up and ready to go, it’s sad seeing my place to empty and shit.

Andrew came over last night, and we all went to the boom with Joel and Ryan. I went out on one condition, that we left by 1. Well, lets just say THAT didn’t even come close to happening. And I was VERY pissed.

Though, I stuffed lots of dollars down a hot boys pants. And Joel and Ryan met lots of cute boys. Too bad I wasn’t in a better mood or I would have chatted with them. Ugh.

Lots of other stuff has happened. But I’m not in the mood to udpated about it. I have to go get dressed and then pick up the truck!

Adios!
