[StrongBad Voice] Holy craaaap…

I think I’m sick. No biggie, it seems to be going around. It could also be that I got 4 hours of sleep last night.

OONTZ:1 seriously rocked last night. On the way in to work, the words “never again” kept going through my head. But now, things feel different. I could be the 25 minute nap I took in the empty training room here in the call center. Good use of showing-up-way-too-early-to-work time.

I only paid for one of the three Red Bulls that I drank last night.

Vic is now addicted to the stuff the DJ’s were playing. I feel vindicated and smug. Excellent.

Can’t wait for my break, I left my Dew in my car and forgot to call on the ride in to work.

Oh, and one more step to finishing the rewrite of Chapter 5 is done. Luna always inspires me.

My belly is full.

I have quite a full plate tonight. I have two apartments in Ypsi to tour. I have OONTZ:1 at Luna tonight. I have shoes and boots to polish, if I get the time. I have cans and bottles to return. I have laundry that desperately needs to get done.

Most likely I’ll do laundry tomorrow.

Two of the apartments that I’ll be touring this week are two bedroom. They’ve got prices of one-bedroom, and I’ve been thinking of what I can do with the extra space. Of COURSE I’ve been thinking about a computer room. Duh. Well, computer room/library/toys/comics/etc. room. Pack all of my strange into one room. Hee hee!

Nah, my strange will never just fit into just one room.

Horoscope

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Of the many brave adventurers I met during my recent visit to the Burning Man festival, Tauruses comprised a large proportion. One example was Melissa Whitman, who leaves soon for a year-long stay in Madagascar, where she’ll be the only female and English-speaker among a team working to save the scops owl from extinction. Though she’s afraid of heights, she’ll have to climb tall trees at night to study the birds in their natural habitat. Another courageous Taurus was Jennifer from Napa, CA, an art therapist for the criminally insane. She risks her life daily. Why did I encounter so many daring Bulls? Is it because the expansive planet Jupiter is cruising through your astrological House of Extravagant Self-Expression? Whatever the cause, I urge you to sync up with the audacious vibes now available to your tribe.

Productivity.

Both of my parents decided to be home today. This drove me to get things done, I think.

I have two appointments for touring apartments in Ypsi tomorrow, and one for Thursday.

I’m coming to A2 and Ypsi. I just hope that they’re ready for me.

Must work on novel. So very distracted.

Printers and printers and printers and printers and printers and…

Yeah, this is just about how I feel.

The print server is broken and trash-bound. It’s sending test pages fine. It accepted the firmware update just fine. However, neither the web-interface nor the telnet interface are responding. Not only that, but the Mac detects the print server, but it only sends junk to the printer. Windows can’t even see the server. So it goes in the trash.

I have the use of a black and white lazer and a color inkjet in the house, not to mention the one or two other working printers that are just sitting in the basement down here. So, I’m not really worried about printing stuff out.

I’m feeling like the lazing about is about to flow into accomplishment. We’ll see how that turns out.

And conga-rats to my beautiful for getting a jeorb! We -can- both have jobs at the same time. ;)

Details, details, details.

The nifty Comcast pen that they gave me last week or the week before… the one that stopped working… is working again. Huh.

Another thing I want to do this weekend is set up my PC, finish setting up my router (so it’ll be ready for the move to A2), and set up the print server… if it even works. I have my fingers crossed. :) I’m going to commandeer a shelving unit. It’ll be quite the setup when I’m finished. Even better when Dad gets the cable modem installed, and I network his den, and run an über-long cable down into the basement, and hub off of there. Star configuration in a home network!

didn’t sleep Friday night, as she was working on her amazing dress for ‘s wedding. She looked way hotter than I did.

BTW, is still Guido to me. I -so- wanted one of the knots she was handing out as part of the ceremony. *Jealous*

I’m seeing more and more pagans here at work. People wearing pentacles is a friendly thing.

We passed the minister when we were in line for the feast after the wedding. She handed her business card to and winked. Infer what you will about someone whose title is “Metaphysical Minister” and does weddings at RenFest. Damn cat-people.

Back to the trenches, as they used to say in Core… er… hell. ;)

How much can you pack into one day off?

Friday, after work, I drove around, out of, and got lost outside of, Ann Arbor. It’s okay, I discovered tons of stuff about the area and now have a much better idea of how it’s laid out. I told you guys that that’s how I learned my way around an area.

Anyway, game on Friday was okay. Ishmael got into deep shit, as per usual, and is paying for it big time, as per usual. I’m looking forward to next Friday’s game, as actual A2 people will be there.

Saturday was ‘s wedding at the Ren Fest. Fantastic ceremony with an awesome minister. The reception was brilliantly done by the RenFest staff, and I even danced the Hokey Pokey AKA the Vulgarian Traditional Wedding Dance. I got claustrophobic, grumpy, and generally I-hate-people at the end, so and I exited stage left. Next Saturday is a solar holiday. Can someone remind this bad, naughty pagan what holiday it is?

And this morning I drove to work from Lansing. I’ve had a queue of grumpy people, but the ban on surfing while at work has been lifted. I’ve also got office supplies, though I don’t have any place to put them. 1 pad of lined paper, 2 mini pads of lined paper, 1 post it note stack, 1 mini post it note stack, 1 black pen, 1 blue pen, 1 mechanical pencil (cheapo kind), and an error correction tape dispenser.

The fancy Comcast pen they gave me at the end of training has already run out of ink. A 2 cent bic is higher quality. Although, the ink cartridge in the pen is replacable. Hrmm.

I have tomorrow and Tuesday off, which I plan to spend on apartment searching and confirmation, as well as novel writing. Feel free to contact me via my cell or say hi if you see me online.
