3rd day into my 7 day oncall rotation and so far so good. 
only one 2am call and it was readily solved. whew.. dodged the 2am bullet.
Tonight after work, screw it I am going hiking up in the forest behind my house. No phone signal but I won't be gone long I will take the risk. Of course if they do call and I...

Dang, I won't complain about my job anymore...it is too easy!
Yeah, Axis and Allies is so fun...everyone thinks I'm talking about the computer game...but I like the old school board game....boards games are so forgotten! It really is hard to win as Germany....everything you have is so concentrated in such a tiny space...it is easy to loose everything in a few battles....

ugh - I hate on-call jobs. I wouldn't have the slightest clue how to deal with something like that though...
Whatever your plans today I hope you enjoy your holiday.
Oh man I so do not have any motivation at work this week... hmmm come to think of it just like last week. 
Budget battles have sucked the soul out of me.
I have got to get back to my writing and get out of this place. Either that or back to being a bartender. Hmmm... oh well it all seems so much better in...

I really haven't had any motivation myself! I guess it's the Saggittarian in me that needs change all the time, to hell with this repetitve stuff
crazygrrl:
How does one get involved with community theater projects? Hmm....
Motivation eludes me this year too.

Ahhhh.. finally another weekend. Of course I did not do shit this week at work so I don't know what I am complaining about.
I was sooooo lazy. Better be a bit better in this job market cannot afford to lose this good of a job.
But enough of that for now it is on to the weekend which is filled with parties and BBQ's...

Hey, thanks for sharing further ideas about my education. Since Bristol was my 5th choice I hadn't considered it seriously....but now that you mentioned it...hmm....it got my gears spinning....
I just have to ask you...My second choice is Reading which is AI with Cybernetics. According to the definition on their website, Cybernetics is focused on the relationship between technology and humans and how they influence each other. It is a unique course. Do you think it's too focused?
My 3rd is Huddersfield which is AI with Multimedia. So I would be learning Flash, Video, Audio and...that's really fun and interesting too.
I haven't gotten a reply from them yet...I don't know...any further thoughts for me?

What a day, what a party last night. My buddy rented out this cool restuarant in town for a private party. Today? Hangover from hell. 
but better now.
Good times.. good friend... good music... free food and free drink. What is not to like and all at one of my favorite spots in town! Saucebox....
Okay gotta run.

Wow, that sounds like fun! I'm sure the hangover was worth it.
Thanks for commenting in my journal the other day! You're right about school being a good investment. You're sweet

Hey wow, I didn't know you'd spent time there. You think I should be wary of Reading....I've gotten so many comments that Reading is really not a place to have a life while studying. Is there anything more you can tell me about the other choices?
Here they are again: Huddersfield, Birmingham, Bristol, Sussex.
Huddersfield actually combines AI with Multimedia. Unique cobination.
Briminghm offers the same as Edinburgh. AI with Philosophy....so I had a thought maybe go to Birmingham first....if they accept me and then try to transfer. I might not lose a year doing that.
Bristol was AI with Sociology. Doesn't sound quite so good now.
Sussex was the total nerdy backup choice. AI with Computer Science.
The reason why I'm considering Reading is because they are offering a pretty unique course too: AI with Cybernetics. Only one of it's kind.
Well, we'll see who says yes... I may end up lucky enough to have my choice made for me. And then I can move on with it...

What a fucking waste of time and space... Yikes! 
came home to a message from the IRS telling me to call them! 
I had no idea what it could be but a call like that suddenly makes you think about every tax return you have ever sent in. What could I have possibly done wrong???
So after like an hour on the phone with 3 different reps nobody could figure out why I...

It is why you are so obviously adored by the members of this site... including myself.
You know my brothers and sisters set such low standards it is so easy for me to please Dad on his day.. just show up and say hello...

Hawthorne E side under the bridge there's a dock- check it out
What a week! 
hooked up with the coolest girl... Just been hanging went to a baseball game the other night and definitely going to hit that again. Missed the whole game as we all just sat in the beer gardens and ate and drank!
Then today? Hee hee.. shopping. I think I like shopping too much which is why I don't do it very often....
