april 20, so it’s 10:47 and i have nothing to do 🙁 our schools really got

picky about people using large amounts of bandwidth, they started unplugging

people that trasnfered more then X megs a day (they won’t tell us the number).

i got pulled for a bit this morning, but i complained and they gave it back

to me, they claimed that i was transfering MP3’s and i was like, no i wasn’t

i just do alot of webwork that requires me to transfer large amount s fo data.

they are a bunch of BOFH’s in the CS department here, and everything is MP3’s

to them. like one time i was doing this website for a class and i needed more

space on my webspace that they give us, cause you only get 5 megs, even

though they say you have 100+ accourding to the Yahoo! thingy that they filled

out. so i had to go and talk to the BOFH here, and the first this she

said before asking why i needed it she said "Well if you weren’t storing

MP3’s on it" and i was like you bitch, you don’t know me, you don’t know

anything about what i’m doing, and then she was like well, you’ll have to

get your professor to talk to the dean of the CS department to get extra room,

and i was like WTF? that’s your job you’re the BOFH here. grr. but i got my

extra 10 megs that i needed after 2 weeks of complaining. stupid BOFH’s. i

got an e-mail from art today, i was so excited, he’s cool. i have to start

on lesson plans and lists of stuff i need for camp. i really don’t want to,

not yet, it’s to early. i also need to buy a new camel bak, cause my last

one isn’t big enough to carry anything but just water, and i wan’t one that

i can carry some other stuff in, so that way i don’t have to carry both my

camel bak and my backpack. (this

is the one i have, this

is the one i want) i also need a new first aid kit, but i don’t have the

money for it, so that’ll have to wait, lol. damnit, Comfed is going really

slow, i want to know what my bank balance is. shit i only have 286.86 and

i’ve already spent $75 of that, so that leaves me with 211.86 and i’ve got

188.39 left in savings, so i’ve got 475.25 to get me through tell my first

paycheck in july. umm, yeah. i don’t know if that’ll last, lol.

april 20, #2. so i’m sitting here watching ricki lake, i hate this show so

much, but i can’t stop watching it, but ok, so today’s thing is "i can’t

accept my gay teen" and some of these parents are just so stupid about

it. "It’s against god’s view, I don’t want him to burn in hell"

I just want to scream at these parents. you have to watch it, i’m not going

to explain it all. Grrrr. here’s the quote that i go by: "You’re grown

up and you’ve made your own life and made your own family with your lover.

Your parents are in the background. Don’t make them the foreground. Let them

be vaguely benevolent figures whom you maintain a sweet but distant connection

to and let them think whatever they think and feel what they feel. Be grateful

for what you have and don’t worry about them until it’s time to pick out a

nursing home. And then find one that’s staffed by gay guys." roflol.

april 19, #7, roflol, again, so my boss for the summer is bloody insane.

i called him today about 2, cause i needed to talk to him about my contract.

he called back about 3:30 or so and left a message with the roomie. i got

back about 4:30 or so and called him and i talked to him and got my questions

answered. well it’s now 7:13 and he just called back, and was like, did you

call me earlier, and i was like, yeah. and it was just so funny, lol. i was

like, omg you’ve lost it, i hope you’re not like this during the summer, lol.

April 19, 2001

april 19, #6, ROFLOL. my dad just called me and was like "Hey, we got

your phone bill for last month, there’s a bunch of calls to some place in

philly, it adds up to just over 5 hours, was there some problem with the phone"

and i was like, "no" and he was like "is that why you want

to go to philly" and i was like, no it’s just some friend that i met

at philmont, roflol. and then he was like, "well talk faster" roflol.

omg, i thought he would be sooo pissed, lol. but he didn’t say anything else

about anything, so i dunno what’s up with them, it’s all weird. wackos. and

he was like, "well normally it’s under $10 and now it’s like $40 something,

i guess i’ll have to take that out of your allowance" and i was like

"what allowance" roflol. omg.

April 19, 2001

april 19, #5, so i’ve said alot today, but i really haven’t said anything,

yeah. ok well i just got back from accounting, and travis was there, you could

tell he was really tense, lol. it was funny watching him, but pete called

and said i should start working on an outline for my teaching schedule, and

he had given me a few pointers and stuff, so i worked on that the whole hour,

so i didn’t really pay much attention. i got half of my contract, i’m sure

i’ve mentioned that before. i’m going to make 1,225 for the first part of

the summer, so by the time the summers over i should make about 2,100 or so

that’s my guess. i really need that money, lol. i have training days every

weekend in may, that’s going to suck, but at least it gets me out of the house

on the weekends. i won’t be able to help my cousin move though in june cause

we have a training day june 1-3 and that’s the weekend she was going to move.

so yeah. but i’m also going to miss the first two sessions, so i think that

will void my bonus at the end of the season, i hope it doesn’t it’s not like

it’s my fault i’m going to miss them. i’m in sd, they can’t expect me to drive

back just for 8 hours of training, sure it’s needed, but he said i could make

it up during the weeks that i’m home and just go up there and work with smokey

(the ranger) and chris (my boss from last summer). i hope pete’s not the camp

director for cub camp to this summer cause if he is, it’s not going to be

much fun then, last year was great, chris is so cool to work with, lol. other

then that one minor problem, someone went through all the staff tents and

took all the shoes that were left in there during the day and tied them all

into one HUGE knot. we had to cut most of the shoe laces to get them undone,

i was really pissed cause they took my good boots and i had to get new laces

for them. that wasn’t good, lol. i should go see what’s for supper, but i’m

not really all that hungry. i’ve been really tired again lately, it’s thursday

though, so that’s good news. oh. if you’re ever home on wed nights, there’s

this show on PBS from 9-10 called american high, it’s really pretty good,

it’s one of those realality tv things, which i usually don’t like, but this

one’s pretty good. but it might not be on on wed’s there, that’s when it’s

on here. yeah. i’ll leave now.

April 19, 2001

april 19, #4. <bored> lol. i was temped at leaving it at just that,

but then i was like, nah, i’ll actually write something. i dunno what i’ll

write but i guess i’ll write something. i have to go to class in a bout an

hour or so, i’m kinda nervous as to going, cause travis knows i’m in that

class, but yeah. it’s just kinda there in my head. oh well. it’ll either go

good or bad, so what’s the problem? lol i got a bunch more poems that i’ll

have to get up sometime, most of them are really good, not as good as the

ones that i did have and my pu’s got rid of, but they are good. they’re mostly

about love and such. i’m really not in a mood to look for poems right now.

there was one really good one in my Intro to lit class that i took last year,

i’ll have to see if i can find that book. hehe, dysson. what a great name

for a dog, lol. "life is like a circle" damnit i can’t find the

lryics for that song. even google can’t find them 🙁 that’s a really good

song. oh well. i like suckers orange suckers are the best.
