Random to the tenth degree..

Okay, I think I’ve taken this random thing just a little too far now. I used to have a schedule for inputting my entries, now I’m just doing entries haphazardly. Yikes, that must be annoying to someone out there. Well, all I can say is that at least I’m still doing entries.

But, since Commixion is all about randomness, I guess somehow this fits right in.

So, I guess I have to update you from Friday until now, or something, maybe even Thursday. Holy cow.

Not much is going on, I think I’m getting stressed out with everything I’m trying to cram into my short daily life. I haven’t been sleeping well, and when I dont sleep well, I get very dark circles under my eyes, so I start to look sickly. People keep coming up to me and saying “are you sick, you really look sick, something is definately wrong with you, you look sickly, you should get some sleep”

No, shit sherlock, of course I should be getting some sleep, and if I could I’d be doing it. I dont choose to lay awake all night thinking about all the things I have to do.

Hmm, I guess I also get a little grumpy. Anyhow, Ive always taken on more than I can handle, and then get stressed out about it, and then in the end everything works out.

On the freelance front, I do a newsletter for a dental group once every two months. It’s not a big deal, and can usually be done in a weekend, but for some reason I can’t get going on it. I can’t find the disk for one, it’s lost in the piles of boxes lined around my bedroom. If you know which box it’s in, let me know.. we can add this to the lost remote contest Tim is holding.

So, my weekend project will be to try to unpack all the boxes. Of course, I can’t unpack all the boxes because I dont have anywhere to put the shit. So, that means a trip to a store to buy some shelves or something, so I can organize myself on them. See one project always leads to a million more.

On the workfront, I’m still going through journal/diary services for the project at work. I thank everyone for sending me programs you know about, it really has helped. I’m really thinking, with a little tweaking, I can get the current provider to work for us. I told Tim about it and let him look through it for input, and hes been great about helping me out with this. It’s nice to have input from the bigwigs on what they think people will like, but at the same time they aren’t the ones that would potentially use it, so I need the help of fellow journalers. Unfortunately, I can’t allow everyone to see what we are working on, because it would create some problems. But I’m really working on creating a really great service for people interested in journaling, but dont really want to deal with html pages every day. This way you just enter your information into a form, and voila a diary is created for you.

I have a small problem, in that one of our Vice Presidents owns a diary service and would like us to use him. I personally dont think his service would work for us, because he doesnt have the technology we are looking for, and this other company is already set up. So, I’m seing myself involved in a political tug of war, any second now.

I have to write up a document explaining what I want to get out of the program, what features I want, how I want it to work and then make up some user scenarios on how it will work. Then I get to create the diary. Wish me luck, and I hope when all is said and done, you’ll take a peek.

So, other than endless amounts of work I have to do, I’m not really doing anything fun, which sucks because I dont really have anything that interesting to talk about in here.

I like it better when I can just comment on things, rather than giving a laundry list of what I’m doing at work.

I suppose I could comment on Tim liking “real girl”. I dont remember it all, but Tim didnt like “real girl” and then there was the whole “pretend girlfriend boy” liking “real girl”, and now Tim likes “real girl”. I’m so confused. It’s like a “trashy american sitcom”.

Anyway, from what I know, crushes usually start out by you not liking the person, and then WHAM, like a ton of bricks all of a sudden you can’t stop thinking about them, and you are like “where did that come from, dont I hate that person, why am I thinking about them all the time”. Oh, love is in the air …

but not for me.

SPOILER FOR ER – SPOILER FOR ER – IF YOU DIDNT WATCH IT ON THURSDAY, OR DONT WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT DONT READ ANY FURTHER!!

So, I really need to comment on this. Did anyone watch ER? OHMYGOD!!! It ends with Dr. Carter (Noah Whilie) getting stabbed in the side by some psychotic, and as he falls to the ground, in a pool of blood, he looks over, across the room on the other side of the bed on the floor, and see’s (Kelly Martin’s character) lying on the ground in a pool of blood. Meanwhile there is a loud party going on in the hospital for Valentine’s day, so no one can hear the screams for help.

I’ve only really started watching ER this season, sporadically before, but I’m hooked into watching it next week. I already now Kelly Martin is leaving the show, so she probably won’t make it, but I just have to see how they do it.

That’s about it for today, I’ve gotta go take care of bi’ness.
