I have this horrible feeling that I'm going to get stuck working late tonight.

This feels like it needs to be updated, but I really don't have anything interesting to say. Other than perhaps consulants need to die, those bastards always turn a two week project into a three month ordeal that ends up getting crammed in the last two days and then bitch about how much they had to work for what they got paid. Find us the...

damn consultants!! Well if they could actually estimate better and give a more realistic time fram they wouldn't have this problem....
Just gotta stick together with people, groups > solo. I'm starting to figure that out. Unfortunately noone ever wants to do stuff together so we always end up soloing. I'm gonna hold up a bit till some people who actually want to accomplish stuff together and don't just think of themselves catch up to my level and then play with them.

Well looks like finally shovelling the drive yesterday was a bit of a waste of time, seeing as it started raining two hours after I finished and still is now. But it actually felt good to go out and do something, Haven't really done anything physical since the move a couple weeks ago.

Would any monkey in his right mind really turn down a 6 pack and a banana in exchange for freedom? I don't think so...
Yea i'm starting to get annoyed by the whole only 20 quests at a time thing, there ends up being too much running around than actually experiencing. But i guess being able to do 30 quests and then turn them all in and get like 3 levels would be kinda lame too....idunno i'd prefer more quests!
Make a horde char and come play on stonemaul!!

So once again it's friday, and I'm at work, and there's still ice all over the place. Doesn't the ice know that it's not welcome here, we want it to go away. I want to be able to use the gas pedal when I drive, not just idle along slowly. Well at least the main streets are clear and it's just the couple blocks around...

i am a cool ranch fan myself, but not when they shake a little lemon flavouring on it and put it in a bag labelled 'dill pickle'.
Been sort of a wierd week.
Spent three hectic days to get a site ready to launch a new look, only to be told this morning that the new look isn't going to launch till next month, which means that those three days worth of work are going to get scrapped, seeing as we'll be doing the site redo at the same time as the...

aurora:
no. that would be bad, because i procrastinate, then i'd end up doing what i did in banff, sitting in my expensive apartment all day, wasting away all the cash i have, and enjoying the bar scene at night.. never bothering to look for a job. selling my car for rent money/booze money. and eventually moving back home when i ran out of cash. i even had to borrow money for a plane ticket.
aurora:
its okay, because if they give me a job, i'll just go there right away, and stay with a friend, until i can get my own apartment/house/suite.
So back from Kelowna, once there's enough for me I think.

Twas the day before christmas and all through the office, yup scurrying programmers everywhere trying to get everything done so they can take next week off.

I'm in sort of a whimsical mood this morning, so I went and bought someone a pound of shrimp off their wishlist. Sometimes there's things on there you want to get just to see if they'll actually deliver it. In this particular case it's expidited shipping only, so the shipping is more than the shrimp. There's some other things headed her way too, it just...

Hey dude!
Sorry for the lack of response to your question... I'm kinda a mess at the moment..
I use Final Cut Pro 3 or 4 on a Mac... in a private studio...
It's more advanced than it sounds...
I'm just a good editor- and not too technical sadly..
Anyway, I want to wish you a happy holidays and such- I really hope the new year treats you right-
But moreover-
I hope you treat yourself even better!

Ah tuesday, gaming day once again. Mediocre chinese food, horrible jokes and hanging out with the guys.
Work takes too much out of life these days that I really only spend a couple evenings doing what's really important, just kicking back with friends and doing nothing important at all. And of course most of them are married with kids, and to wives that aren't any...

"But really in most cases what makes a good person to spend your life with isn't the same as what makes a good person to hang out with your buddies anyways.

hrmm, i don't agree. i find, the best relationships i have are the ones where i feel like i am friends with the person and i can get along with their friends. then again, i am not married. but my current boyfriend, i was friends with him for a long time before we went out, and that's why we have so much fun together. your friends just pick crappy chicks i guess. haha.

ewww, children. it's good that they're happy though.... i guess. but eww, children. i think if your friends have boring wives, they are secretly boring!
hope you have a happy christmas and such.

So now I'm the one asking "Why exactly am I doing this?"

it's funny how tech companies can end up so much alike. i've got kind of a jaded view of small outfits...
with my old job, they told us a lot about getting stock options and "growing with the company" and so on and so forth, but in the end it came down to one thing: no matter what it would never have been my company. i was being payed peanuts, i was doing work way beneath my level, and i was putting up with a weak CTO - and when it came down to it they really just were building something for themselves on the backs of their coders.
your situation is probably very different from that, but i think it's like what posh said: you have to figure out if it's something you want to own. startups lose money. newly restructured businesses lose money. do you want to commit to it?

stupid patch day... bittorrent is giving me untold grief. i want my mail dammit!
Under the list of things you don't want to hear your boss say: "I really don't know why I'm doing this anymore, maybe I should just move to brazil." Always a good line to inspire confidence going into a new year.

Hmm...I'm glad I never got sucked into WoW.

I never heard that from a boss begore but on the bright side it could mean a promotion.
I am so glad that I don't have high speed interent than i would be spending all my time playing video games. THis is after I spent 30+ hours beating KOTOR 11 which i am presently playing again.

it didn't really cost much, so it'd be a lot of hassle for a little refund. it'll just have to sit there and wallow in how crappy it is for not working. i'll insult it occasionally.
