Drag Show

Ok, so I was kinda drunk when I wrote that last post.

Anyways, Yesterday was good. I spent the day getting the x86_64 box ready for MH to install Oracle on. I got an e-mail at 9:00 last night saying that it was all done, so that’s cool! I’m excited.

I left early because I had put in some extra hours the days before and was bored. I talked to Austin right before leaving and he talked me into coming over and going to the beach with him. So we did that and walked around. He found a Sand Dollar, and was excited. We also saw a crab on the rocks, which was kinda random.

After that we went and watched some more of that Sex show, I’m really getting into it. It’s so funny. lol. From there we decided it was time to eat, he was going to make pasta, but the meat was still frozen, so we went out. It was hella time finding someplace to eat, as I have no money left till the 15th, so I wanted some where cheap. Ended up going to the greek place, which was good.

Blake txted me while I was there. And upset me a bit, I sure hope he’s still ok.

After dinner Austin and I went back to his house and watched some more TV and he showed me pictures of his college days and his recent trip to Montana! I LOVE MONTANA! 🙂 lol. We laid on his bed and kinda cuddled and I gave him a back rub, since he’s given me so many. lol.

Once the show was over, I left so that he could go to the gym, that was about 9ish or so, got home showered and ironed my clothes and then sat around waiting for him to get back. Once he got back we both headed towards laguna. Got there and went into the bar and just stood around for a while watching the Drag show. It’s been so long since I’ve seen one of those!

Ran into Justin and JohnyRocket there. Very random to see them again. Anyways, Austin was going after this guy who looked like an uglier version of Phil of the Future, but the boy left before Austin got up the nerves to go talk to him.

Some random guy came up and started talking to me, but I was tired and hadn’t had anything to drink yet so I was sort of a bitch to him and felt bad about that. I meant to go up and talk to him again later, but we left before I could. Oh well, he probably just wanted sex anyways. And he wasn’t very cute.

Austin and I have decided that I’m not good with telling people I don’t want to talk to go away. I tend to just sit there and listen and talk to them and will give them a sorta cold shoulder, but I feel mostly obligated to talk to anyone who talks to me. I’m also a bit too trusting I think and tend to think the best of people first. We both think there’s a massive lie going on in my life right now.

Tonight I’m just going to go home and relax at home by myself. I really need to get back out on my bike and to just relax.

::whines:: I want a boyfriend ::end whines::

Adios.

Sex, Gilmore!

ARG! Can I fucking SCREAM at our Helpdesk guy? He’s telling LIES, LIES I tell you! God, so fucking annoying. You know, if I called and got someone like him at the Helpdesk, I would fucking hang up on his ass. Our software is slow NOT BECAUSE we as SA’s and DBA’s haven’t done our job, there’s MORE then enough power to serve the sort of application that we host. Someone fire him!

Anyways, so yesterday was pretty busy… I had lots of stuff to do in the morning and got that going, then right before lunch I got a huge project that I sorta stole from someone else. It’s going to be exciting, getting Oracle 64bit running on x86_64 Linux. 🙂 So yeah. But as I was going to go talk to someone about it Austin called, so we went off to lunch. It was a nice lunch we went to this mexican place and I had a Cheese thing. I was so stuffed! After that we walked over to Staples cause it was right there and he tried to convert me back to windows and I tried to convert him to apple! I’d have to say so far that’s the only annoying thing about him, is that he’s a windows geek! Gahh! Chris Pirillo comes to mind. That man annoys the hell out of me!

So I got back from lunch and started talking to people about it and got CentOS installed. Also someone else showed up and I had to help them with an RCF file. I finially got out of here at 2:30 and got home and then went on my bike ride. Got home and showered then talked to Austin and invited him over to watch the new gilmore girls, since he had never seen it.

So he went to the gym and then came over and we hung out. Watched an Episode of Sex and the City, which I have to admit is a very funny show. After that we talked for like 20 minutes till GG came on then watched that. It was an OK episode, not the best ever. I think this series is really coming to an end. The whole Luke has a daughter thing is a little out there.

Speaking of though, The West Wing really needs to end. This season has just NOT been that good. I’ve heard that this will be the last season and it will end with the announcement of the new president. So we’ll see.

After that we watched House, which was ok, but I didn’t really enjoy it that much and then we watched another epsidoe of sex and the city, then he gave me a nice back rub, then I kicked him out cause I had to go to bed. It was nice hanging out with him.

Blake says that today is Jimmy’s funeral, or something like that. Seems really quick to me, that they could cremate him and ship him back so fast. But I guess that’s the way it is. Sad as it is. I’m strangely effected by it. I’m not really sure how I can explain it.

Susan e-mailed me again yesterday. It’s nice that she keeps e-mailing me and asking how my life is, but I’m just not too sure about what to say back to her anymore. I haven’t talked to her son in like over a month now, so it just seems wierd.

OMG! Yesterday was a HUGE day for us Apple fans! TWO Intel macs introduced, and some cool new software! I can’t wait! Who wants to buy it for me?

With that, I have to go work on Oracle 64bit. Adios!

What I Miss

You know what I miss most about having a boyfriend, other then the whole compainion and having someone to love thing?

It’s getting the small surprises here and there. You know, flowers or a surprise lunch at work, coming home to a card on my door, just the small things like that. :sigh:

This week marks 5 years of being out. It seems like just yesterday I came out to Beak. I can’t believe it’s been 5 years all ready!

Happy National Coming Out Week everyone. Be sure to tell someone you’re out and proud this week. Perhaps my office is next. 🙂 (Well that is the ones who don’t already read this.. haha)

I had a reallly long meeting with my boss today. It made me feel really good about the work I’m doing. Because honestly, sometimes I really feel like I’m not doing anything worth while at my job. I sit there and I pump out code for these Business Operations projects, so they’re not actual things clients see, so it just seems like it’s a big waste. But he gave me a lot of compliments on what I’m doing and said. “I know I can throw out the most complicated requirements and you can get them done.”

Because honestly the things I’m doing are pretty damn complicated. Even though the output is insanely simple. Getting that output is a hell of a lot harder then one would think! It would be much easier if I had designed the DB and was set up for what I’m doing, but it’s just not, and I don’t know how all the relationships in the DB work. I waste a lot of time tracking those things down.

For example, the last major things I did for this project, ended up having to create between 1 and 5 temp tables and then merging all those into one big temp table and then having to do a select on that one. And it’s completly dynamic, which is the best part. IE, if someone adds another field that needs to be searched against in RT, my reporting system will automatically be able to handle that new field without any code changes.

Now however, I’m going to have to do one minor revision to make it less dynamic. Which is wierd, I know, but that’s the way they want it now. I don’t think it will be too hard of a thing to do. The worst part is going to be creating the dynamic e-mails reports, since MySQL doesn’t have stored procedures. I’m thinking I should just get someone to upgrade the RT MySQL to 5.0 so that we can have stored procedures. That would make my life easier.

Well, that is if there’s an e-mail stored procedure for MySQL. It was a pain in the ass to find the Oracle e-mail stored procedure when I was doing that stuff earlier this year.

I was watching this thing the other day on the History Channel. They had a short little thing about Wounded Knee… It really pisses me off when even the history channel can’t get it right. If you don’t know what I’m talking about go read this.

I’ve actually read the entire transcript of the hearings on the Wounded Knee incident and lived on the reservation for a summer… although that link has the death toll wrong (It’s actually 350), the rest is very correct.

Anyways, the point is that the History channel made it out that the Native Americans were fully armed and were fighting back, when infact they were nearly completly disarmed and were running away. Also the History channel FAILED to mention the fact that the US Gov BANNED a religious ceremony. Hello? Anyone heard of the Bill of Rights? The history channel also said that all the bodies, including the officers from the military were buried in a communal grave.

They neglected to mention that the dead native americans were left on the ground for days, while some of the wounded ones died and froze to death in the snow. There’s even a story of a small child who was actually found alive 3 days after the massacre. She survived by hiding under her dead mother, who was frozen to the ground in a pool of her own blood.

They also didn’t say that the officers and other soldiers were given huge monuments on the hills above Wounded Knee Creek, while the bodies of the native americans were thrown into a communal grave.

Grr, it just really pisses me off. These lands rightfully belong to these people and our government has destoryed them, put them on reservations and turned those reservations into a thrid world country…

Sorry about the rant.

Adios yall!

Coding

Coding drains me.

It drains me mentally so badly.

I hate coding.

Yet, I’ve been coding for 8 hours a day for the last two weeks! It’s driving me crazy.

I hate oracle. It’s so fucking PICKY about everything! And there is no equiv of mysql_num_rows in php for Oracle! It’s crazy!

I’m stuck on this project right now because I hate the way the DB is designed too. We had some input into the way it was set up. And I changed what I could. But there were some things that I just couldn’t change because that DB was already in Prod use. So I’m stuck with it’s basic layout. Very annoying. So I’m trying to glue bits and pieces together from different places. Trust me, not easy!

ORACLE! DIE!

I FUCKING HATE ORACLE!

HATE

HATE

HATE

HATE

HATE!

Apparently there is no fucking oci_num_rows which works on select statements…. So I found I can just do a While($row)

However, now the fucking thing isn’t returning my rows!

FUCK YOU ORACLE! FUCK YOU!

I love MySQL… it’s so nice to me.
