Day 2 of the new shift.

Buh, it’s going to be tough get­ting used to wak­ing up at 5 AM almost every day. My new sched­ule at work star­ted, I now am work­ing 7:00AM through 4:00PM instead of 9:00AM through 6:00PM. This means that in order to get to work on time, the latest I can leave in the morn­ing is 6:20, in real­ity

Who am I kidding.

I know I have noth­ing to say. That’s a line from some­thing by either King Missile or John S. Hall. It’s also on a t-shirt that Lindsay made for me which is awe­some. Sometimes I get ideas that I think would be good things to write about, but then I for­get them. Those ideas never make there way here. Because I for­got

Walky

I just went for a walk with Linds. we should do that more often because I got win­ded after less than a couple of blocks. Not much else to say today… things are going along at their usual pace, work is work, life is life, and that is that.

Writer’s Block

I found this wine at J. Webb Market. It has a pic­ture of Shakespeare on the front and a long and elo­quent quote on the back extolling the val­ues of good wine and going on at length about the hor­rors of the afflic­tion known as “Writer’s Block” It’s quite a tasty syrah, lighter bod­ied than I am accus­tomed, but not

A Good Time Was Had by All.

Dinner was a hit I think. BBQ’ed Ribs and Pork Tenderloin Roast. I think the Roast got a bit dry and the ribs were not what you could plaus­ibly call “Fall off the Bone”. but the fla­vours were all good and the assort­ments of salads were excel­lent. There were also some last-minute pota­toes that went over quite well. Conversations

Golden, here I come!

I’m going to Golden tomor­row for my par­ents’ anniversary party. I’m pretty sure that there will be much mer­ri­ment and what not. I’m look­ing for­ward to it. I like big fam­ily gath­er­ings, they remind me of how lucky I am to have such a big and close-knit group of people in my life. And this prom­ises to be

Yeah…

No Blogging on Thursday nights. 5:00am comes too soon…

Happy Monkey!

Okay, so the folks at the Apple apple store were quite friendly, I signed in early just in case they could help me out before my actual appoint­ment and spent a good half an hour wan­der­ing around look­ing at all of the Mac toys. Lindsay was there hanging out with me so it wasn’t com­pletely bor­ing. My

Sad Monkey.

Boo000, I now get to exper­i­ence the dis­tinct pleas­ure of get­ting my iPod repaired. Clutzy me leaned over to pick up some­thing and the darned thing fell right out of my pocket! The screen is nicely shattered thanks to my care­less­ness. If I’m lucky the Apple per­son that I talk to will cover the thing under

So, what’s new?

Things change, though not always drastic­ally. The accu­mu­la­tion of small changes even­tu­ally develop into a major change though. I still work for a local Tech Support com­pany, as I have for a little over two years. When I first star­ted, my only com­puter know­ledge was some basics about Linux, minor troubleshoot­ing of Windows sys­tems, and what Mac OS looked like. Now,
