Hmmm - tired now

There's only one thing that would keep me up.
And I'm not getting any of that. Yet.

- Drove out to somewhere on 495. *shrugs* Was being nice
- Saw Shaun of the Dead. VERY GOOD. Liked a lot. Not terrifyingly scary, funny, and gods do I miss England. Shaun's neighborhood reminded me of J's first neighborhood, except more rundown, and no Underground anywhere. Miss the crosswalks too *sniffs*
- Ate mediocre at local Chili's. Mostly happy to just sit and chat. And make the waitress wait on US after forgetting about us. he drinks strawberry lemonade. *grins*
- cute talk before leaving, I thought it was cute and I was being cute. *sighs*
- got gas
- drove home contemplative, but not anything else. Except tired.

Driving to the Cape tomorrow to get some work done. Probably going to meet El for something afterwards. Hoping to hang out again Sunday. Also hoping I can actually invite myself somewhere, but I don't know about that yet.

I can't believe I'm yawning. If I hadn't been out with him I'd be at ManRay. Awake and silly.
Think I'm going to get some icewater, and get off this thing. Was thinking about installing Alice, but not tonight. Tired now. Would like to finish some sales postings first - my bed is still covered in not posted clothes.

PS - he paid. I managed to not get to the bank, but it wasn't a big deal. I will pay next time, but it's NICE to have SOMEONE ELSE pay for a change!

*sighs* *Sips coffee*

I really need to work for myself, in a much bigger sense.
I should open that store I want to. Then I could open when I wanted to, close when I wanted to, stuff like that. OK yes in theory I'd have to be open earlier than I'd want to get up - that's what low paid minimum wage minions are for *snicker* But I could have coffee and pastries and music at night, and just hang about reading or working on stuff.

Yes, I'd love to be a lady of luxury.

I'd like more mornings like this one.
Woke up, drifted, came completely awake
watched TV, checked email
showered
made podfee, went for cereal, but the dishwasher needs to be run (which I will do tonight) and instead "had" to eat the remaining cream horns (of which I'm not buying anymore. They're too good, I end up eating them all in one sitting. Not Good.)

I need to get dressed, pick out some more tunes, maybe burn a new CD, and hustle myself down to the Cape. I hope I only have about an hour, maybe two of actual work. I'd also like to stop and have a tarot reading - I should call and see if she's in today. I also need to call El and see what's the what, but I don't want to be out late tonight. I'd like to be home to see Teen Titans, finish putting stuff to my site and pimp it. The Titans looks good, Raven gets a boyfriend in a book, and I'm sure dark gothy hijinks ensued.

Anyone want to update me on how last night was? I would eventually like to make it out, especially since I feel like I'm not supporting P & E. I was a loss for the theme tho, and spending the evening with CB was very nice.

My phone now rings Tarzan Boy, by Baltimora. Personal calls only. I'm thinking about switching my business ring to the original personal ring. I like that ring better. I might switch the all over phone ring to Tarzan Boy, but then it's hard for me to tell when I shouldn't be answering the phone - like for Unknowns and stuff. But the ring is So Damn Cute!

Anyway, must dash, more from the office if I'm bored.

I wonder who would respond to this

so just think about it

I know a bunch of people are unhappy in their jobs *cough* Comcast *cough*
Techie people, computer people.

Imagine this - pulling parts, from other systems, from shipments, from returns. Hardware handling. And testing them for workability and brokenness. Also, you need to be reliable, on time, and get the work done. Oh - and it's not anywhere near Boston. We're talking west on the Pike. not like Northampton or anything, but a commute from Boston would be 45 minutes easily. Some people have it suckier commute wise already. You'd have to be able to jump in and get the work done, no training. If you don't know how to test parts, or where to look to tell you how to test parts, don't bother.

How much would you want for such a job? Would it be better than what you're doing now?
That's all you'd be doing, however I assume there's room to grow and advance, depending on skillz and education.

This is an Actual Job people - I have one name in mind, but I don't know about the reliability of said name. I know lots of people have it sucky. I'd like to help someone out, more than one someone since this needs to be filled.
Respond here, or email me, let me know what you think. I'll let you know privately WHY I'm keeping this under my hat and who to email if the job is a fit. I'm NOT supporting anyone I think will make me look bad, or make the job referrer look bad.

Y0.

I Am Not Your Buttmonkey!

Yargh!
Seriously, I went to school for ACCOUNTING.
I have my OWN STUFF to do.
And what am I doing? Sitting in the damn Cape office trying to get these computer bitches to just download some damn updates. NOT install, just effing Download! The frigging DSL is the world's worst. It's Verizon, but THROUGH her old ISP, which is Right Across The Street! You'd think that with the closeness, physically, everything would run FINE BUT NO, it all sucks and blows.

I have taken to installing the updates one at a time. There are OVER 30 to be installed on each of the (wait for it) Windows 2-fricking-000 machines. The XP laptop, well it just sucks. I'm seriously tempted, if my boss didn't need it, to take it home, hook it up to MY modem, and get the downloads that way, since something is up here.

The biggest issue - the stalling. The damn downloads stall out halfway through, then about 10 minutes later, start back up again. I KNOW it's the damn DSL, like I said it sucks and blows. Less than one minute MY ASS.

I am Jack's seething anger.

I've been here for hours (almost 3) and haven't done a DAMN THING, except stare at things not working. I was supposed ot see Ellie, but I' m not doing that. I'm going to call her tell her I'm stuck and in no mood to be social. I'm going to go home, make myself a nice dinner, and finish what I have to there, along with some other work to do - ARGH! I should have brought that receipt thing I needed to do! I could have billed BOTH clients! STUPID!

I have to post this, then kick the modem, it seems to have stopped AGAIN. If not, I'm getting one last thing done then LEAVING and eff this!
