For the next 3 days, I’ll be cleaning up the basement and moving my stuff down here. My grandmother took a bad fall and she has to move back in with us (this happened once before). Since my room is on the ground floor, she takes it. And I move to the basement. The basement is pretty well furnished, I don’t mind being in it at all. It’s got more room, more privacy, and more stuff. Like a bigger TV, and my surround-sound speaker system.

On Tuesday, I start my first day of work at my new job. On Wednesday the 5th, my second day, I’m flying out to Vegas for said job. I’ll be then flying to San Diego soon after, and then back home to Syracuse on the 12th.

On the 13th, I fly back out again, down to Tampa for a week-long vacation. I won’t have much time at home, probably enough to do laundry and catch a few hours of sleep.

Needless to say I’m going to be hard to get a hold of for the next couple weeks. If you got anything important to tell me, you might want to do it soon.

Looks like I get to work at the fair this year, sitting at the ITT Tech booth talking to people, handing out informational pamphlets, and getting paid for it. I’ll do that for almost two weeks, sure. Easiest $600 of my life right there.

Graduation in less than two weeks, kinda scary. I Figure if I can’t get a better job between now and the middle of next month I’ll just go back to Wegmans where I know I can shoe myself back to where I was before, with awesome pay and awesome people. I’ll always be looking around for a better place, though.

Been playing through Earthbound all weekend, it’s a nice way to kick back and relax. Great game. Between that and working out, it’s a decent way to spend my spare time. My huge side project is taking shape too, creating a huge-ass Bemani wiki with game info up the wazoo. I know RemyWiki is big, but I’m focusing on everything, not just IIDX. With huge-ass articles like this I’m pretty happy with how things are coming along. (Yes, I compiled that entire article and formatted it on my own).

My vacation can’t come any quicker, though…

This week has been pretty dull for me, nothing but school, work, and more work. And by “more work” I mean my other job doing web design and actually getting paid for it. But the code I’m looking at gives me a major headache because the guy who originally coded this site-that-shall-not-be-named was written so badly there are some things that I don’t comprehend at all. I got about a 5-page list of things to do and while I got nearly all of it done, there are few things that I literally cannot do because of how badly it was originally written. Where you think code needs to be changed, you’re wrong. And when you need to insert something small, you can never find the spot to add it in.

My final group project in school is finally taking the shape it needs to take, after getting all the kinks worked out. Had to redo Active Directory only 4 times, but it’s all set now. Stupid mistakes plagued the project, but they’re all ironed out now. Only a few things left to do on it. Along with documentation.

Still keeping my eyes open for another job, I don’t know how far this second job of mine is going to take me. My primary job (working at school) ends at the end of the month when I graduate, and while I only bring in $150/wk from it, it’s my main source of income. I live pretty simply, I guess you could say.

Getting the ball rolling on continuing my education online, so I’ll have that to work on. I just need more cash coming in.
