I love my job far too much.

Building computers, configuring installations, making custom bootdisks, working with one of the coolest freakin’ guys ever (he’s not even much older than me), and administration that is so laid-back about everything.

Should I mention that today we had to test out one of those chincy TV-based videogames that plug directly into the AV ports? Taking a halfhour to play pingpong on TV with paddles – not only against my boss, but some of the other higher-ups – is just simply amazing.

I’m so glad I get to do this stuff 5 days a week!

Weekends are fun-filled.

Friday was a pretty friggin’ sweet day. Went out to Utica with Chris and we met up with Brad, Robyn, and another one of Brad’s friends to get some food at Uno’s and see The Grudge 2 at the local, ghetto-tastic movie theatre. The theatre was filled with the rowdiest, craziest crowd that completely overreacted to the less-than-stellar scary parts of the movie. I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed it as much if that type of crowd wasn’t there though, I’m almost sure. The movie wasn’t that good. Either way it was still an awesome time. Robyn and I also went to the nearby Coldstone to grab some awesome icecream, though the selection there was kindy shitty for the price I paid… ah well. Still good times :D

Saturday was filled with more fun. Although I had work at 7:30 in the morning – I only ended up getting about 3 hours of sleep – I was still pumped. Took a trip out to Rochester with Chris, Jon, Paul, and Narsk to Arena 51. They upgraded their ITG2 machine to an R21 and enabled the custom simfiles so we were albe to load our own songs. I proceeded to bastardize the machine with Lazytown simfiles and DJ Damien’s “Guyz Dongz” which definitly should’ve won Tournamix just for the song title alone. Parodying DJ Potatoe was only a plus. haha. We grabbed food at the Old Country Buffet nearby, then had dessert back at Arena because Heat’s girlfriend Kate baked me a pretty cake for the bemaniso tracker’s one year birthday. It was really good. The Rochester crowd is really chill too, Especially Andrew who brought his lady-friend who seemed highly amused at all the jokes we were cracking. Met up with some old friends there too that I haven’t seen in a while, so that only made it better.

Sunday was my day to catch up on sleep, definitly. I had work early (yet again) at 7:30. This time I actually got about 5 hours of sleep, not much better but still a decent improvement. I came home from work, did a bit of laundry and proceeded to zonk out until this morning. I’d say I got about 12 hours of sleep or so? Definitly needed that. I feel much more refreshed now.
Pictures and videos I posted at my LiveJournal, so check there for the few shots I was able to grab. Too busy having fun to really snap pictures :P

This weekend I’ll probably be back out in Utica, then after that I think I’m road-tripping. And then to Rochester after THAT. Needless to say, I’m taking full advantage of my weekends spending time with awesome people and having a shitload of fun.

It’s freakin’ cold in my room.

I wish people didn’t turn the heat down at night. Some people enjoy being up late!

Anyway,  just been busy with school and work lately, been keeping up on my studies and most likely pulling off a 4.0 this semester. At least it’s pushing towards that least, things have been a breeze so far. Been learning a lot, and enjoying my time at school. 2 for 1, can’t get much better than that :D

Outside of the school walls though it’s just been a lot of hanging out with friends, meeting new people, and getting in contact with old acquaitences. Definitly been good times, that’s for sure :) I’ve also been slowly gathering pics for my photography gallery. Not much there at the moment, but I hope to find some more photo ops and add them there.
