What the fuck am I doing awake this early on a Tuesday morning?!?!?! I couldn't get back to sleep for some reason, maybe the fact that my cat decided to use the bed as a scratching post while I was trying to sleep.. He does this when I forget to feed him before I go to bed. I guess I might as well do something productive now that I'm awake, though I'm not sure what.. I'm almost completely finished with my website after spending 8 hours working on it yesterday, so there is not much to do there.. I would start my clients new website, but I haven't recieved his down payment yet.. I suppose I could pay some bills.. nah.. I'll do that Friday.. I know.. I'll check on my new online stock trading account. I set it up last night while I was bored stupid.. I don't know why.. I've had stock before and it always just sat there not really making me any money. My Grandfather seems to think it's something I should do though.. I'm not going to question him considering how well he's done with it.. He has a lot more time to devote to it than I do though.. I dunno.. having a trading account just makes me feel old... and far too responsible..
I hate having days where I don't really have anything scheduled because that means usualy the real pain in the ass clients will call me to go out to bumblefuck PA and remove spyware or something else I hate doing. I need a fun project for today, something that will actualy force me to think would be nice!
Thanks to the incessant prodding of friends and business associates, I finally got a book keeper/assistant last week. I have a feeling she'll quit within a month though.. I already had an argument with her about not having separate bank accounts for everything and not using quickbooks. I'm using Microsloth Money simply because they gave me a free copy and it's simple. I'm not about to go and spend money on software that I really don't need! She does have a point with the whole having separate bank accounts thing.. I just don't like the way she wants to do it.. She is also very opinionated and damn near as stubborn as I am (scary thought) but I guess that just makes her a perfect addition to HPC's happy little disfunctional family. And hey.. she's really good at pestering the clients who owe me money, so that goes a long way!
I'm going to Tennessee for a couple of days next week to look in on my lonely little house out in the middle of nowhere. I'm trying to sell it so I can buy something here in Philly. It's a nice place, it's just out in the middle of nowhere.. I actualy was thinking about living there for a while, so I completely re-wired everything for cable, phones, internet, etc. I installed a killer home theater in the livingroom and did a whole house audio system. It was going to be an example to show my clients everything that I do. Then I came to my senses and realized that I'd go insane living there! So now I get to try to sell it and make back the money I've put into it.. probably not going to happen...
Well, I guess I should go eat breakfast and get my daily dose of death, disaster, and dissinformation on the morning news. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Your assistant sounds like she can get the lead out. Maybe she will reel all those clients in that owe you. Thanks.
