So I’m here in Georgia… I don’t have enough energy to make the trip downtown to try to find something to do. I’m just sitting in my hotel room, listening to Sasha, bored outta my mind waiting for Steph to get home, so I can chat with her. It turns out the dipshits who arranged my class, put me up in a hotel on the opposite side of town, and didn’t tell me what time my class is, not to mention booked my flight home for 7pm. This means I will likely need to leave the class early to fight rush hour traffic and return my rental car in time. Where are these people’s brains?
Month: September 2000
Okay, so as of yesterday evening when I left work, I still had no confirmation on my class tomorrow, let alone any travel itinerary. I left an email for my boss asking if he had gotten confirmation on the class yet, so that I could bug the person who is supposed to be making my travel arrangements. I fell asleep right after I sent that email, and did not get out of bed till the alarm went off this morning. I checked my email from home, and saw that my boss responded saying the class is a go. Following that, was another email from him stating that something needed to be completed before I leave for my class today. Keep in mind, I still have no clue what time my flight is tonight, and I will have to stop by the house to get some things before then. Nothing like last minute arrangements.
Well,.. I found out yesterday that I hafta go to Atlanta tomorrow night. Oh Joy! I don’t mind going, in fact I am happy to get to, since it is for a class. But it suckz that A) it’s on such short notice, and B) it’s only for Friday, which means I’m there for less than 24 hours. If my boss was smart, he woulda sent me there today through Friday, since there is a 2 day class for the other part of the program that I need to work with. Whatever… I don’t question such things anymore.
Well, that was fun. We just lost all front end connectivity here for about 45 minutes. Gave me a nice long break though 🙂
So far, it’s been an alright morning. Woke up and got out of bed on time, this is a plus. Stopped and got a donut and some coffee on my way in. Traffic kinda sucked, but it wasn’t that bad.
I forgot to mention that we went to see “Almost Famous” this weekend, it was a pretty cool flick, especially if you were really into the music during the seventies. The soundtrack was dominated by Zep, which just kickz ass, cuz they are my alltime favorite band. So I was inspired to listen to old music today. I listened to some Gary Numan in the car, now I will listen to nothing but Zep and the Police all day at work 🙂
Bah!
this weekend sucked. Friday night I was stuck at work till like 7:30 working on a problem caused by another program that I do not work with. We thought everything was cool, another dept. was running some scripts to automate shutting down the proccess on all the machines, so we were told we could leave. As I am walking out the door, my supervisor stops me and says the director wants us all down in the NOC for something. I was like “fuck that, I’m going home. If he has a problem, tell him to call me.” So I drive back to Va., stop by the pet store, and get back in my car. My cell rings, It’s my manager. He’s like “Dan.. where are you?” I’m like “just about to my house.” He says “you need to come back to work” I ask “why?” he tells me that he needs someone to write scripts, I tell him that I am not a programmer, and would not be of help. His answer, “you’ll learn it then.” I tell him that’s not a good answer, and I am not driving all the way back up there to try and deal with a program that I have never even seen, let alone done admin work on. So he get’s that god complex, and says “so you’re telling me that you are refusing to come in?” I say yes (keep in mind, it’s 8:00 Friday night, I get off work at 5:30). So he’s like “you’re putting me in a bad position here” I say “I’m not putting you anywhere.” so he’s like “fine. This is not over. Have a good weekend.” and hangs up. Why must I put up with this stupid crap? I’m sure I get to have a little meeting with him and the director today, about me not being a team player or some shit. Joy!
Oh yeah, If you havent already, make sure you cough up a lil change for Brad, so he can get lj back to running full speed.
Dont be cheap bastards!!
It’z finally Friday!!!
This week has been long as hell. Not sure what all I’m doing this weekend. I know I am going to get some more stuff installed in my car tomorrow, and go get an oil change. Steph sayz I’m becoming a grease monkey, because I am always looking at stuff for my car lately. I decided that I want to soup up my car, and keep it for a while. I had thought about trading it in for a new one a lil while back, so I hadn’t made any modifications to it. Someone else, who will remain nameless (R O B), is callin me riceboy now. hehehe I don’t care, cuz my car iz gonna be even more smokin than it already is!

I have been so bored with work lately. I have had a hard time getting anything productive done all week. I need a vacation. Maybe I’ll take a couple days off in a week or so, just to keep me from goin nuts. I plan on taking off over a week during the time that we move, but that wont be until the beginning of November at the earliest. I am really looking forward to it. I’m gonna get to spend time doing projects around the house. I love building stuff, especially when it’s in my house. It’s been many years since I have lived in a house, and I miss doing yard work and painting and all the other stuff most people hate.
Only about a month and a half to go….
Okay,.. I am in no mood to be doing real work. I wanna do something fun. I wanna make something, or break someting on my serverz 🙂
