RUDE PEOPLE

UGH! Why are people so RUDE.

So Friday, I didn’t really do anything. Wasn’t in the mood to. I worked on my mythbox. I moved it over from the 700mhz machine to a 2.2Ghz with SATA drive. So it’s much faster now. Very nice. It was a PAIN in the ass to get working. First I downloaded and tried Gentoo, but it kept crashing on the build. So I went with Fedora Core 5. I JUST got it all working a few hours ago. Lots of stress and stuff.

Anyways, Saturday I was supposed to help Mike move. He said he would call me at 10 to tell me when he’d be here… So i got up at like 8:30 and wondered around the house, ate breakfast, etc. 10 rolls around, nothing… 11 comes and I txt him.. “Where are you”… he’s JUST THEN getting the damn truck. He told me on FRIDAY that he was getting it at 7am! UGH! Said he’d be here at 2.

So I go and do laundry. Come back at 2. Nothing, wait till 3, still nothing. I txt him. “Where are you?”… “Just leaving Irvine”… So I tell him I’m going shopping because I’m not going to waste my whole day waiting for him and I wold come over once I’m done. Go shopping for an hour which is what it should have taken to get from Irvine to Redondo. Come back and he’s STILL not here yet… Finially at 5ish he txts me. “be there in 20”.. I wait ANOTHER hour, and sitll nothing.. “You here yet?”.. sends one back saying that he is here… THEN WHY DIDN’T YOU CALL ME. So he calls me and I flip out on him. I wasted my whole day trying to be NICE to him to help him fucking move, and he doesn’t even have the comon courtesy to call me and keep me up to date as to what’s happening. If you’re going to be 15 minutes late when someone is taking time out of thier day to help you MOVE then you should be on the damn phone letting them know and appolgizing.

I HAD wanted to go horseback riding with Austin, but cancelled that to help this guy. UGH! So annoying.

I also got in a fight with Andrew this weekend cause he’s going to the Getty Villa with ChrisA… He and I have been talking about going there forever… and now he’s suddenly got tickets and can go and doesn’t even bother to let me know. UGH! He was like, “well you can come along”… Yeah and be the third wheel, thatsounds fun.. then he said I could just get tickets for Monday… Again, sounds like TONS OF FUN! go by myself. thanks! UGH!

So thennnnnn. I wanted to go out, Jason and Austin had both earlier asked what I was doing that night, both had made indications (although no real plans) that we could do something that night.. So I message them both… OUT somewhere else. UGH! So I ended up sitting on my fucking couch like a loser again.

Soooo then….. Saturday I had talked to Jason about going bike shopping on Sunday, and getting together to talk about Germany… He said. “Sure, I have a flight @ 2 if weather is good”. So _ME_ that indicates that we have plans and that WE ARE going to go bike shopping. I told him I had a meeting at 10 and would be avaliable after. So I get home and message him, he says, “What’s today?”… UGH! UGH !HGHHGHGHHGHGHTUFHDGHGUHF! So then he’s like, “I’ll let yo know” blah blah blah.. 2 hours later, “are we not doing this today or what?”.. “help up… 2 more hours”… then I get a txt message… “saw leo dicaprio”… WHAT! WHAT!?!?? What the fuck are you doing! We made PLANS to go bike shopping, clearly.

UGH! fucking people. they are all really pissing me off right now. UGH!

Private: Another one goes to London!

UGH! My company is sending ANOTHER person to London, that’s 4 people! Why am _I_ not there yet!? Ugh, this is just really pissing me off. This is what I was HIRED here to do, why am I NOT the one doing it. My friend Jason says it’s because I work early and and leave early, but I don’t think that’s the issue, the CEO and both VP’s are VERY thrilled with the work I do, they know that I do a great job, etc. So I just don’t get it.

On the same note though…. I haven’t really been in much of a mood to work this week (mainly because of this news I feel). So I’ve spent the days sitting at my computer reading about cheap airfare, buying a house for rental property and finding myself contracting jobs. I’ve got bids in on two jobs. Hopefully one of them will pull through. If the big one does it’ll mean about $1,000 a month in added income. Yay! 🙂 That’ll put me over the next big pay rate bracket! How exciting. I’m sure with my luck though it won’t come through.

I’ve been really lazy and sleepy lately. Classic signs of depression and all. I get home and just lay on the couch and really don’t feel like doing anything. I fall asleep early and don’t want to get out of bed in the morning. Very annoying

I signed up on match.com the other day. There’s a few good looking candidates on there, but I don’t want to pay the nearly $100 for a 6 month subscription. Though they say if you don’t find love in 6 months you get 6 free… So maybe it’s worth it? lol. I’m surprised that the other matching sight doesn’t do gay couples. Random that.

Gas prices are crashing down like crazy… I think it’s politics… Who knows for sure though. Thank god they are finially back down to something semi-normal. Hopefully they won’t shoot back up any time soon.

I’ve found flights to Berlin for $550/person. Jan 8th-15th. God I want to go!

Private: Get over it already!

Seriously, I know I’ve talked about this before, and I’m sure I’ll complain about it again, but whatever.

WHY can’t I get away from Jay! Why can’t I just forget and move on. This boy is being harder then fucking Andrew. UGH! Everyday he’s on my mind, every day I go to bed hoping that I will wake up with an e-mail or txt from him. Everyday I hope that he’ll say something to me! I just can’t deal with this asshole just STOPPING talking to me! Grrrr. Last night I went through and read all the AIM convos we had, I went to the marina del ray outrigger website and looked at all the pics of him on there.

I went and bought some scouting books from this guy a couple weeks ago…. Right across the street from Jay’s house. I see him online all the time and I want to just IM him. I want to call him and bitch him out. I just can’t get him out of my head! WHY! WHY! WHY! I don’t think it’s that I’m not over him, because he is an ASSHOLE, but I just HATE the fact that he just disappeared with no real reason or whatever. I just want to know what the hell happened. Stupid fucker.

I need someone new, I need to get a bf. I can’t deal with being single. I hate it, I’m not a single person! I need a partner to make me whole.

In other news, I am getting a bit annoyed with my work stuff. I’ve spent countless hours on this project that I’ve been working on. So much time and engery going into it, and just as I said when I started it. NO one is using it! It’s really very frustrating. I mean the power that this thing has, the amazing capabilities that it has, and no one here uses it. WHY!? I don’t get it. It’s so annoying. And yet all this time that we were designing it, and coding it, trainign people on it, they all said. “Wow, omg this is amazing, best thing I’ve ever seen”. Seriously, almost direct quote! Why don’t they use it now!

Another project that I did way back in the day (like the first couple months that I started here), just got replaced by a Paid for solution. Which is honestly VERY overkill, and doesn’t do all the stuff that MY system did. I understand that the decision to replace it was out of my companies control, but it’s still just really annoying.

And yet another project that I did MONTHS ago is _JUST_ now starting to get used. It was turned on yesterday. Now thank god this is being used, but MONTHS ago when I was writing it I was asked to do it in a day, because they were going to start using it the NEXT DAY. So I spent nearly 20 hours in ONE day doing this project, got it done, and then nothing… Blah!

My CURRENT project, I have a feeling that the people who it’s designed for won’t be using it either. Even thought they’ve been in on the entire design process, I still think they won’t be using it once it gets impelented. :'(

Just makes me feel like my job isn’t really worthy of me. I really want to just get back to SysAdmin work or management or something. I wish that I could get into something like BT was doing here at WR. I could do a WAY better job then he ever did and I feel that having me in that posistion would make it worth the money that PHS was paying for it.

Oh well, what can I do. :'(

I’m Out

Well ya’ll, last day in Cali for a while. I head home today at noon! I’m so excited. I don’t think any work will be getting done today.

My defect list for 1.0 has been fairly impressive and yet easy to manage. Most of them have been cosmetic changes. (Fuck you IE). Other issues have been that PHP was running out of memory. html2pdf uses a lot! Today is the roll out for defect fixes and we go live on Monday. Thank god I’m not here. 🙂

Speaking of, I’m not even taking my laptop with me to Iowa. I’m going to _attempt_ to stay away from the computer for the whole week. No e-mail, no myspace, no nothing. Good luck to me!

Yesterday I was driving home and heard a song that I’ve been enjoying for a while. They finially said who it was… “Panic! At the Disco, fresh out of high school”.. That’s what they said. I was like, “How could that voice be coming from a HS boy!” So I went and looked them up.. They are YOUNG looking. Then I downloaded the album. I love you iTunes. 🙂

I finially sold my old laptop as well! $900. 🙂 Some idiot actually had the nerve to offer me $500. Fucker. Anyways, it was these two asian guys… There’s a scratch on the lid of it.. They kept saying, “Female not like, they like pretty”. I’m serious, direct quote!

So after that I took out what I needed to pay for my plane tickets, new laptop hard drive, and the LCD screen for my camera. Which left me with $300… I went to the mall. It’s gone now. 🙁

I got a 2 pairs of shoes and 2 pairs of pants. The fun news is that I fit into a 30×32! I’m amazed! The 30 was a bit tight through the thighs though, so I ended up getting a 31×32. I have to have the other pair hemmed though, cause they are 32×34.

My loot includes:

Rocket Dog Shoes

GBX Shoes

A&F Jeans

Banana Republic Slacks

(I wanted to buy the shirt in that pic too, but it was the same price as the damn slacks!)

After that I packed shit up and then spent the rest of the night hanging around my house.

[private] jason’s been kinda pissing me off lately. We were supposed to go out and bike every night this week. Well, I haven’t been biking yet this week, but he’s some how been every night? Monday he claimed his friend stopped by, so he had to hang out with him. But then they went biking together? Would it have been so hard to call me and ask if I wanted to go with? Then tuesday he says his friend just randomly stopped by again… but then they went off and hiked up in the hills by us… Again, that would have been fun for me!! then yesterday his friend.. yet again, had to drop his car off somewhere, so they were just going to hang out. Ugh. What annoys me most is that he always says he’ll txt me when he’ss on his way home to let me know…. but i never get a txt. Very annoying.

then the other day i left a comment no his site about this summer fest he went too.. I said, “that looks like a lot of fun” or something like that…. he deleted the fucking comment. WHY?! Ugh, just annoying as hell. [/private]

Anyways, if anyone wants to hang out in Iowa, let me know!

Adios.

Stable 1.0!

Yay, today I’m releasing the first stable version of the software I’ve been writing! 🙂

I’m very excited about this… It only took 19,582 lines of code! YAY!

Last night I was up late working on a new component to it. This new thing won’t be ready till next week, but instead of e-mailing attachements in HTML with Base64 encoded images (which apparently aren’t supported by IE, screw you!) I’m using PDF’s now instead. So yesterday I spent the day finding something that can correctly read the style sheets, etc. Then I spent all last night getting the one that worked the best to work correctly! And it finially does! 🙂

BTW, I’m using html2pdf.

[private] Yesterday, I was debating about deleting certian people from my friends list on myspace.. IE, Dustin and Joel. So I went and read Dustin’s profile, and found a rather odd comment about me on his page by his neighbor, the oddest part was that it was from only a few days ago. I Think to myself.. WHY on EARTH is this bitch talking about me? So I go read her page… Dustin had written: I thought you might want this. I think you might want to apply, lol. You know, Chris is lonely and needs a boyfriend for the weeK! You might just need a strap-on 🙂 And then had posted my blog entry about the BF application. So then I start thinking… Who else has he said such things to? So I go through his top 16 or whatever, to find that he had posted the EXACT same thing on a few other people’s myspace pages.

How childish, first. Secondly, WTF? Why is this dumb fuck still talking about me to people when I haven’t even spoken to him in a MONTH! So now it makes me pissed to think what other TRASH those three are telling people around the LA/OC/SD areas. Since they hang out at the bars so much. I’ve heard from a few of my friends what they are telling them. And if that’s what they are saying to my _Friends_ I’d hate to hear what they are saying to complete strangers about me!

Ugh, it just pisses me off so fucking much. Jackasses. I fucking hate faggots. [/private]

I had tons of plans yesterday, but got ditched for them all. It kinda sucked and was good at the same time. First I was supposed to have lunch with this guy JT, he was in the area for the day, said he’d call me at 1. He finially called at 1:30 and said he was running late, which was fine. I was on my way home by that point. Said he’d call when he was done with his errands. About 3:30 he calls me again, but by that point it he was already back in Long Beach, cause something came up, or whatnot? I dunno.

Then I was supposed to go play tennis with this other guy, but we couldn’t find anywhere free around here, and I didn’t want to drive up to LA to play. And then lastly, I was supposed to go biking with Jason, but his friend was dropping something off in the area and wanted to hang out. So yeah. So I went on a bike ride by myself, and then of course right after I got back Greg called wanting me to go to the gym with him. I was too tired, so I said no.

It all ended up being good though, because I was able to get that PDF generator to work, which means less stress today for Stable 1.0! 🙂

Adios!
