So here I am at North Polk, AiS is over and it was all good and stuff. Julian randomly showed up as well. Ramsey and I talked and it was all good. He’s applied for a job at Krell.
I’m downloading pictures from the digital camera to thier machines. It’s all good.
I’m out. Not much really going on today. Adam gets to come up tonight WOOT!
I WANT A DIGITAL CAMERA NOW!!!
Perhaps instead of that other computer I’ll get a digital camera.
Pics I took today. YAY!
So pretty.
So yeah I got up this morning and it looked quite warm, even though it was dark and cloudy our, but I was like “At least it’s not raining out.” So I went and showered came back changed, put the batteries in my camera and started to head out the door, when I saw someone walk by my room with and umbrella and raincoat. I looked again, and it was raining, fairly hard. I was like, SHIT. So I put my camera back and replaced it with an umbrella. Damn rain.
I went to class and no one was there, well ok there were alot of people there if you compare it to the attendance at my 2oclock class, but there was still very few people there.
Only 4 more class “periods” left before finals start, I can’t wait, yet I’m dreading it. I have so much that needs to be done, but really don’t have the ambition to start or do them. I have a Stat Project to do, and I have to read my Bus Law and MIS books. I have to study this weekend, I must, but there’s so much other stuff that I also need to do, I need to move my loft out of my room this weekend, otherwise I face the risk of “making too much noise” during finals week, which they can write me up for. Bastards. I’ll figure it all out I’m sure, but whatever. It’s very stressfull right now….
But now I’m off to take some pictures now that it’s bright and sunny out. Laters.
Business/managers shoud manage people, not people that don’t know how to manage people. You can’t tell one person that they’re going to do something, and then when they next come in to work tell them that it’s already been done. You can’t assign something to one person and have them do half the work and then tell another person to jump in in the middle and complete it when they don’t know what’s going on. You can’t do these things in the managerial world, why does she not understand this???
You can’t run a business or an effective IT department without a plan of action and clearly she has no plan of action. She needs to sit down and decide what this company needs and where we’re going with our IT. You can’t just say, OH I feel like spending some money today, lets go buy something, as much as I enjoy doing that.
We have three computers, very good computers sitting around doing nothing currently, they have been for almost a month now. They were good computers and we told her that, they just needed to be upgraded, but she went out and bought three two new computers to replace the three… Now we have no where for those three to go, so it’s wasted money down the drain…. Instead of listening to us when we told her our plan for backups, she went with her outrageous plan, which uses over 70 tapes, each tape costing $35, you do the math. More Government wasted money.. And you wonder where you’re tax dollars are going, they’re going to organizations which the government has chosen completly incompetent people to manage.
She shouldn’t be in any posistion to do any management, put her back in her office and let her do her programming, when we need money to update something, we’ll ask for it, but don’t just do what we’ve told you not to do. It’s just a waste of money. Don’t go behind your employees backs, that’s the fastest way to get them to distrust you.
I hate stupid managers.
Today I was supposed to upgrade two of our Macs to OSX, take those three old servers and reformat them and do something with them….
But instead when I got here, she said “Oh, Chris already did that on Friday, you need to do ….”
So Instead I’m doing something of Chris’, which I have no Idea what I’m doing, she says that I need to learn about it, but when I don’t even know how it’s currently implemented, I can’t really learn about it to tell her the best implenemtation of things. I don’t know where the documentation is at either to figure things out.
She also said that I need to get in touch with Shelly… Which one?? The one that’s gone today… But I’m supposed to make some graphics, which she already has, I don’t see why she can’t just take the 5 seconds to do it herself. Gwar.
I’m really frustrated today with everything, I’m just going to program things.
This weekend went by really really fast… Alot happened, and yet not much really happened. It’s been very odd…
Friday I met up with Adam and we went and did some money things for him… He got debit card for himself… I told him to “be careful with it” and he took it the wrong way, we got into a bit of an argument, but after we talked it out everything was good… He cried though and that made me really sad and I felt so bad for yelling at him. It wasn’t good, but after we talked it was all good again… Then that night we went out to supper at Village Inn and we saw Dustin, he had put his two-weeks in the night before and when he came into work that night the boss man told him to just go home, so we said we’d call him to hang out that night…
After supper we went to MHM and did some shopping and shit. It was good times, then we called Dustin and met him at Java Joe’s. We had fun, Mandy was there as well and we hung out with her, that was great fun times.
We went home to go hot tubbing around 11, we invited Dustin, but he didn’t want to come. That boy is odd if you ask me, I can’t figure out what he wants… He’s still amusing to go out with, and he’s growing on Adam.
Saturday Adam worked tell 4, I was going to sleep in and do nothing all morning, but my dad decided to play jack-hammer. He finished one side of the basement, he started work on the bathroom on the other side and felt the need to rip out some of the concrete at like 7am, I swear. So I got up and took a 45 minute shower and shaved like every hair south of my neck, it was quite amusing for me.
I went to Hy-Vee about 2ish and hung out tell Adam got off at 3 (an hour early). So after that we went to Valley West and he got a Drawing Book and we went to Calypso (sp?) and hung out generally. We also went to Comp-USA, now that was amusing… We happened to wonder into the Apple area and the guy working was relaly cool, he had to be close to 60, but we talked to him for a bit over an hour about how Apple’s are cool, and how everyone just uses windows because ‘Everyone else does it’ and that mentality that America has. It was really cool, we probably would have stood there talking for longer, but he had real paying customers.
From there we called Dustin again and headed downtown. That was yet again more fun times. Two other people showed up, I can’t remember they’re names, but they were amusing. Although they were drinking str8 vodca, so I really didn’t want to hang out with them all that much… Adam and I left about 10:30 and went back and watched Porn.. That was amusing as hell.
Today’s been alright as well. Again my dad decided to be noisy at an un-godly hour in the morning, but I slept anyways… I got out of bed at 12:30 got dressed and then went to Hy-Vee… I got some work done today though, so that was good. I tried talking to Leah as well, but she was being a horrid bitch… I’ll get to more of that in a bit… After Adam got off we went back to his house and cleaned his room and put his fish tank back up. That was fun and amusement. His whole family was being a bit grouchy today though, and that was sad, maybe it’s just the weather. I dunno. But we had a good time anyhow..
About 7:45 or so we deicded to get online and see if anyone had updated, we were reading people’s things when it came to Leah’s. That really upset both me and Adam… She called our relationship a “Ricki Lake Show” and said that we fight all the time and that I want Adam but Adam just wants someone…. We don’t fight that offten and and when we do, it’s just because one of us missunderstood the other, it’s generally something stupid and we’ve made up 5 seconds later. What she said hurt me and him, it was rude and even though journals are somewhere that you can vent and say “what you want to” there are somethings that are best kept to yourself. That’s why we made “private entries.”
But she didn’t just rip on us, she ripped on everyone of her friends. She says that …. hell I dunno.
After that Adam and I talked about our relationship, about prom and what happened in the 45 minutes after it, we talked about what Andi had said, since she was there, and what she thought about those 45 minutes on the car ride home to Ankeny…. We talked about how great our relationship is and how close we are… I love him and I know he loves me… That’s what matters, is that we talk and we know how much we love each other.
So this weekend’s been long, yet short, it seems to have just started and now it’s already over.
I have a feeling this week is going to be much the same, I’m going back tomorrow for Safe Space, and Adam’s coming up here Thursday night… I can’t wait.
