Yeah so the past couple weeks at work has been anything but dealing with computers. The netadmin and I have been given the job of doing site maintenence. We’ve had to empty out 2 electronics labs (containing tons of equipment, and 14 huge tables in each room) so that the floors could be waxed. We also had to paint parts of the rooms. With that all done, now we have to put everything back inside. We also have had to assemble metal shelves for the bookstore. This is all very time-consuming, and requires a lot of energy. The things we wanted to get done, are obviously not getting done. That’s life though.
At least I get to relax at night. Last night Lissa and I sat down and watched Interview With the Vampire, which is a pretty awesome movie. Fun times, she’s so cute. I’ve been out visiting family on previous nights, exchanging shots with my cousins and just having a good time chilling out. Holidays this year weren’t nearly as stressful as the past ones, what with my dad working on Christmas day. With my brother and sister home for the holidays it always seems to stress my mother out, but things were better this year.
I still have to upload the pictures from the holidays, I’ll attempt to get around to doing that later tonight. I still want to go on a photo adventure in the village, maybe if the weather’s nice I can do that, too. It’s been raining on and off the past few days, unfortunately.
My house is weird. We had to celebrate today rather than tomorrow. My dad has to work early, thus is the life of a truck driver. But let’s not stop there. Because both my parents are BORN on Christmas Day. So that only adds to the fun.
I got a bunch of pretty awesome stuff. I asked for a 5.1 channel sound card + speaker set, and my wish was granted
I’m working on getting my basement turned into a home theatre, and this nearly completes it. I could use a better TV down there, or better yet a projector, but that’s for another time. Got a new desk and chair for my room, the one I have is so old and in desperate need of replacing. Clothes as usual, some other smaller gifts that were useful (i.e. blank cds/dvds, calendar, etc), and Juli sent me a big stuffed penguin
:D:D One more to add to the collection! Thank youuuu!
I’ll get pictures of stuff up later, things are still a tad hectic around here.
My paid account on LiveJournal expired. Gives me a reason to use this fully. Maybe now I can actually write posts of substance.
I’ve felt so out of it lately. Just out of energy, out of ambition. I’ve been a zombie to my school, here 6 days a week and showing up for long work shifts over my break. Half the stuff I’m doing here isn’t even IT related – clearing out rooms so they can get cleaned, setting up shelves, etc etc… just a lot of manual labor.
I really hate the holidays. I’ve been out of money, I can’t go anywhere, and the things I used to find fun just don’t hold my interest anymore. Maybe Christmas will bring me something good, we’ll see. I still have all my friends though, that makes things worthwhile.
And yet, a day doesn’t go by where I contemplate just up and leaving the internet completely and turning into a monk. I know I can’t, but it doesn’t mean I don’t want to.
Bored at work, may as well make some usage of the time here.
Car = dead, new car = acquired. GPA = 4.0. Money = none.
That really sums things up as of late, honestly. Just school and work. Not much else going on. I want something new to work on but it’s just not hitting me. That and I can’t just seem to focus on anything as of late…
