hair cut

Maybe I should get a haircut. With my beard, I'm starting to look like this guy.

my official title

My official title at work is: Computer Opns Spt Anlst Sr.
Which i think means Computer Operations Specialist Analyst Senior, pretty descriptive huh? My previous title was Mult Fnc Info Sys Anlst. The title I covet is Network Engineer Sr Stf, the title I give my self is Network/Unix Admin because it describes what I actually do...sometimes. If it were to describe what I actually do it would be more like Witness/Genesys/Nortel/Cisco/Linux/Unix/Windows/Network/Phone Administrator and Ward Clerk/Nursery worker and sorry excuse for a father/lawn mower/trash taker outer and general mr.fixit.

sick?

I don't know if I've been sick, but I've been tired. My ear is draining goop everyday (I think my tube came out) - I have an appointment next week for that. I've maintained a nice productive cough throughout the whole ordeal. Oh yeah, my back hurts too :(

when the Lord comes what will suddenly become obsolete

Money? Guns? Government agencies? Certain magazines? Tobacco, coffee & alcohol factories? I hope that he can come up with some really cool energy sources to put oil and nuclear power to rest or at least provide a solution to nuclear waste. I'm pretty sure I would still be employable as a network engineer. I think Ron Paul would be satisfied with the changes in government.

rebate scam

We got our rebate check today, but it was $42 short! What's up with that? We were supposed to get $1800. Uncle Sam loves me less than the others. I could have enjoyed $42 worth of eating out, or a weeks worth of gas, or a new outfit, or I could have given it to YOU!!

Signs of the times?

With the earthquake in China, one has to wonder if the Lord is coming soon. But then with Clinton losing her lead in election, we might still have a few more years.

Brain Freeze

Do you ever feel like your brain is frozen? Today I feel like thoughts will touch my brain and slide off. I have called Matt on his cell phone before, but today I couldn't find where I have written it down and my frozen brain hasn't had a thawed out day since he got the contraption in which I could memorize it. I used to be good at memorizing things...maybe I should make a song to remember it, I can remember songs. So here's me today frustrated with my frozen head and melting thoughts.

blogs that begat blogs

I've been busy so I haven't noticed all the blogging activity going on. I admit I don't think I will be able to keep up with it all as well as I once did. But then it would be much easier if everyone used RSS. Even then there is a lot to read. I miss my old blog and still post there on occasion cause it's easier, but oh well. Work has been really picking up with some due dates looming in the near future. And church hasn't been handing out any breaks either. There is an opportunity to show our house to a guy that is trying to move nearby, our house fits the description, but I'm not convinced I want to move yet. I could always get a house closer to work and that would save gas...

passwords

I was wondering if I could justify reusing passwords that I know. I just recalled 30 different password from memory that are all valid/in use passwords for things from bank accounts to computer accounts to building codes, I don't know how that rates for the average person, but I think I can justify reusing a few passwords.

123

A couple of days ago we were eating dinner and Amber requested some mayonnaise. Waiting impatiently she said, "One..Two..Three". Me & Kristy were quite shocked, but what can you do?

rebate scam

Everyone else got their rebate check this week, but we didn't get one. Here is the triangle scheme they are trying to get away with.

oow

Last night I had a hard time sleeping because my stomach hurt like I needed to pee. So I got up to use the bathroom a lot. Same thing all day today. After talking to my mother in law Annette, it sounds like I might have appendicitis. Isn't that cool? I could die! But from my experience as me, my body tends to be pretty resilient so I'm not really worried. I'll wait another day or so to see if it goes away on it's own. Although at this rate, I could just end up in the hospital all weekend, that would suck. Especially since I haven't figured out how to use ssh on the blackberry! If I had, at least I could play with it while in the hospital.
