Yeah, it’s been far too long since I wrote anything of substance in here. I’ve been reading, just not writing. Oops.
The girl: Amazing as always. We spent last weekend at her parents’ house for her dad’s 50th birthday. Fun times. I helped her dad cut down trees in the front yard and move some huge furnace into the basement of an apartment complex he runs outside of town. It’s fun doing small projects like this. Liz’s family is always fun to hang around.
Being on the same shift is absolutely awesome. Whenever we’re not at work we’re together, even if we’re not doing the same thing. I’ve been spending time playing through Earthbound in anticipation of the Mother 3 translation (which is nearly finished) and Liz will sit right next to me either watching some downloaded TV shows or cruising the LJ communities and Japanese shops for lolita stuff. She cooks meals for me, and I’ll clean up afterwards. We have some common TV shows we like to keep up on too, so that’s always fun.
Work: frustrating at times, especially when supervisors clash over my priorities. I do a lot of extra work that isn’t quite related to my assigned position, but I do it because I’m one of the few that possesses the knowledge. So when I go back to my assigned job, it’s almost like they’re looking for reasons to go after me. It’s silly. And the scary part about that is that the upper management kinda just… doesn’t care. I do the extra work that will no doubt benefit the company in the long run, so that’s what matters to them. This small stuff the supervisors chase me down for is the last thing they worry about.
As I write this now I’m researching things for work. I was there for almost 12 hours today, and I’ll probably pull another 12 tomorrow. It’s crazy. I love solving problems and tweaking the system. I’m sure it will pay off after this project gets finished. There’s been talks of me moving to another department… which I would gladly take.
Internets: Nothing’s really changed. Still got the same servers, the ROM site hasn’t changed really and I just haven’t mustered up the effort to finish the GBA set that *needs* to be finished. I’ll get to it. I need to work on the tracker too… but once again, just finding the time and effort for it. I wish there were two of me. That would be much easier.
School: Eh, it’s school. Taking statistics and some risk management course. Boooooring.
Guess that sums things up. See everyone again in a month haha.
