Starting with the one good point, I finally ordered the big piece of software that I was interested in getting. It is very expensive, but it will help me in my future endeavours and with my career.
And, now on to the rest.
Despite the knowledge that things will work out, despite all the preparation I have made for the worst, even despite the commands of God, I still can't get rid of that sick feeling at the base of my stomach, and at this time it is the very last thing I need. Right now, things are falling to pieces for me on multiple fronts, and just recently one thing that I thought was secure is now in question. I will keep the details to myself and anybody who asks me directly, since disclosing them here could make some of those bad issues worse.
Still, I know that others out there who deserve them more than I do, but I would appreciate if you keep me in your prayers in this time of uncertainty and worry for me.
Oh, and a saying I thought was funny:
No matter how much you plan for the most beautiful wedding you could ever have, your kids will still call you dorks when they find those pictures.
But isn't it amazing that Christians have the opposite sort of "magic": we have a Sword that can take someone dead and make them alive. If only we'll use it.
No, actually it's not a boring chick flick. It's a story about this young man who decides to go off into the Alaskan wilderness on his own to "live off the land". He winds up dying because he was unprepared. I haven't seen the movie, but the book was really good. - Jeff
I agree with what you are saying about "Strong Women". Like cats. They can bite and scratch and hiss and cause pain, but any healthy adult could kill one pretty easily, so they really aren't that strong.
Well, I have been back from the metal concert for a while now. I just never got around to posting till now.
The trip was a blast. 4 days of heavy metal was a good break from angelo. I did wear earplugs, so I can still hear. I also bought 20 cds at the concert, and will spend the rest of the year listening to them.
Work is still work, though competance and management don't seem to go hand in hand here. They never have, but it seems to be much worse now than usual, which is strange since the most incompetant person is about to leave. Perhaps the rest of management is making up for the vacuum of incompetance that he would leave, though it would be better to fill it with competance. Even their admitting they don't know what they are doing would be a tremendous help. Still, a line on a resume, and enough to get out is all I need at this point.
Still debating on what I want for my website. The portfolio and online resume are definately going on there, but what else. A personal blog is an option, though I can't hide behind the anominity of the internet on it.
Well, they announced the new version of the software that I wanted, and the price is the same as the old version, so Im glad I didn't buy the software yet. I am also looking at buying another piece of software that would help me do what I want, though it is much cheaper. Still, new computer, new software, and wrapping up a few hobbies comes out to quite a chunk of cash.
Another thing I was thinking about doing was setting up my own portfolio website. The primary goal of it is to show off what I can do with css, flash, JS, and Ajax to show off to future employers what I can do. Also, the site would be used to try new apps and other things I want to do independant of work, though the site can't get too personal. I am also debating on what other technologies I should have on it, like CF or Django, so I can show off a bit there too. Still, even if I do decide to make this site, It won't be up at least until next year, and definately not until I have some time to mess with all the new software I want to mess around with.
For now though, I am taking a break from it all. I will be going to Atlanta for another rock concert tomorrow. It will be a nice break from Angelo and my job. I will be meeting the same friend there this year, as well as two others, so it should be more interesting with a group than just two of us. We might even go to the aquarium in atlanta just because. If you really want to know more about the concert, click here but if the head below offends you, you might want to skip this site too. I will admit this isn't the most edifying use of my time, but it is a vacation from everything.
On a side note nobody cares about, Warhammer Age of Reckoning has been released, and it is a much better game then WOW.
Well, I have to finish packing for the trip. I am trying to pack as lightly as possible to avoid paying the new baggage fees and so sneaking on to earlier flights isn't as big of a hassle, but that does mean I will be wearing, and have a backpack full of dirty laundry for all to smell on the way back. Be thankful you are not on the same flights as I am coming back to angelo.
I'd like to go to Canada for the rest of my life. Cause after election season, the person who got elected is going to "put my boots on the sand." hahaha
