my friday.
May 17, 2002 - 5:08 pm

i'm tired of poeple talking about in hindsight this or that should have been done. get over it. it's so easy and cheap to say well, if you had done this or that since we know what happened when it wasn't done...

that's just cheap, childish nitpicking. well, not always..but from political folks i take the most cyncial view possible.

tonight i'm going to be in my dorky glory. see, amazon.com has windows xp home edition on 'sale' for like 50 bucks. it's normally 100 bucks. my birthday is next month, so i got it for me. now i just need one of those natural keyboards. i never used one before, but we have them at work and i like em alot.

ya so, my friday night is going to be installing this new technolical wonder and playing around with it. i wonder how many programs i have that won't work. not to many i think. i have ME now. ME sucks. xp, so i hear, is pretty stable...esp for a windows product.

you know, i'm always kinda amazed when i see me going from one mood swing to another. i don't mean rapid ones..but the long cycle ones i seem to get. the ones that last months. i think i'm into my funky mood now, my...i don't know what word to use..but it's a special kinda mood.

i heard a song from long ago today. well not that long, but it has one of my favorite lines and i had nearly forgotten it:

how on earth did i get so jaded?

life's mysteries seem so faded...

i need to try and redo my list of song lyrics.

this weekend..i need to get my PA license. i need to finish my clean up. i think...i think i might even try to go out saturday. i do need to meet people. there's a coffee shop place that's supposed to be pretty nifty. i'm not a huge coffee kinda guy, but i could go there..read a bit, sip a bit and see what's what. well, i suppose i could. i need a book to take. perhaps a conversation starting kinda book.

what else..oh, my new job. heh, it's a really diverse group of people to say the least. some of the least office type people work for this company. one guy, his last job was training elephants. another moved here from alaska. i'm not sure why yet..but she did. it's a very open kinda place. i like that. i think that's going to be good for me. i kinda worry about the team i'm on though. it's weird. the pace can be so slow, so i preceive it, and yet my two team members talk about beings swamped. i'm not really handling cases yet..so it's hard to tell and it's very true that we do alot of paper type work. i'm very used to my phone ringing non-stop. i mean getting like 80 to 100 calls a day. i mean very fasted paced...make the deal or lose the deal, i want my stuff _now_ type place. here it's very different. here we totally set the pace. nothing happens until we do something. if we let it sit, it sits. it's kinda nice.

things things things...

well, you won't hear from again until i get this xp junk installed.

wish me luck!
