Well, its been a nice couple of days since I last posted. Shawna came up on Tuesday night and ended up staying until this afternoon. She was amazing, last night while I was at work, she cleaned my kitchen and made me dinner. It was totally unexpected and very nice. Work has been crazy, due mostly due to fucking Motorola, who gave us the wrong...

so I made it through work today....ugh. the world is covered with a thick layer of ice, and I broke down and drove to work after I fell three times on my street. I had a fun time this weekend, I went to Columbus to help a friend's business out. He was selling cards at a magic tournament there, and his partner was in pittsburgh,...

The weather keeps changing here, and it's messing with my sinuses. I have allergies regardless, so they just get worse when the weather changes.

Wow - your weekend sounded busy. I wound up with a migraine and stayed home for two days - damn brain!

well, I was gonna come home and do some hard core writing tonight, but I ended up going to the bar with a friend from work. We had a good time, drinking Guiness and throwing darts. I don't get out enough.
I called Shawna from work today. She's stressed out again, worrying about the fact that she doesnt have a "real" job and the pain...

Well, I got ahold of Shawna today, and that made me feel better, this long distance thing is really tough when you only get to see each other once a week if that. Work slowed down too, making my headache a little easier to bear. It looks like im gonna be on this schedule at least through the end of february, which is nice to...

Ugh. Yeah, working when your sick...especially being on your feet as much as you job requires can take a major toll on you.
beledi:
*hugs* hope you feel better soon. and good to see that you got to talk to Shawna. long distance relationships are tough.
ugh...I don't know If I can take much of this new schedule. I ve been on it two weeks and I really miss having evening time to do stuff. Seeing Shawna, for instance. In addition, the end of the day is so much worse for tech support. You get all the people that have been working all day, get home and their computers arent working....

You're right - you're on the worst shift for tech support. I'm sorry that sucks.
Don't worry about Shawna and reaching her - worrying doesn't do you any good.

beledi:
no worrying. and remember...it could be worse... you could be doing what a friend of mine is doing... he sits in a room from 8 pm to 8 am and puts in backup tapes when the computers beep. and that's about it. so not only is it boring as fuck, he doesn't have anyone to talk to either because all of his friends (like me) are sleeping while he's working.
thanks for the birthday wishes and the workout support. today's day 2.

well, im back. I spent friday night and most of saturday with Shawna, which was excellent, then worked saturday night. I then drove through a blizzard to my friend Adam's house and spent the rest of the night arguing about warhammer, watching movies and generally complaining about life. crashed at like 530 am, and got up at 9 to go run a warhammer tourney. I...

Well, nothing terribly interesting today. I did get my second case in a row of someone trying to hack someone else's email account. We don't require much identification in order to reset the password of someone's email, and two days in a row I've had someone call in and bitch to me cause someone in my department reset their email password for someone that wasn't...

It's too bad you can't change the ID process...you take a lot of crap from customers because your company is kinda unsafe about it huh?

Technical support is fun - NOT.
As far as spiders go - you can get a high maintenance spider and you can also get a semi-low maintenance spider. I suggest going HERE if you want to look at and compare types of spiders and how hard they are to take care of. Then you can either go to your local pet store to pick that kind up or order one on line.
My spider is a difficult breed called Theraphosa blondi or Giant Bird Eatter. I used to have a male Cobalt Blue - very aggressive and poisonous but easy to care for nonetheless.
I could blab all day about spiders.... blah blah blah.....

Well, I actually got some writing done today. I've been kicking around this screenplay for a couple of weeks, and the first couple of sceens were all I had besides my notes. I wrote three full sceens, and the words just seem to come easy right now....I got a letter from my girlfriend today, which was very scatterbrained and sweet, and played some poker. I...
