Wunderbar Dienstag!



http://lalalandrecords.com 100th release - today at Noon!


In today's daily meeting I stated, "I had to cease all off-world activity since my monitor blew. The replacement monitor I took from the trash pile is possessed and sends me subliminal messages through its flashing which is making me very angry. And because my bike threw me like a horse down an embankment of thistles, leaving my entire body itchy, the combination of itchy and angry is going to soon consume me." My boss, with a wave of his hand, replaced my secondary monitor. Now that's power!

Speaking of, that most magical minstrel of mythical mannerisms Ernest found a utility which will rename the worldwide name of fiber host-bus adapters. As my new DL380 has a cage which opens as a port to hot-plug PCI slots, we're going to use my ubuntu box for this purpose in order to avoid rezoning when HBA's require replacing. How sweet thou art!

I was making homemade pancakes Saturday and my son asked, "Dad? What kind of music is this from?" I told him, "I thought we were listening to Stargate: Atlantis."
"Me too, but this sounds different."
After breakfast I sat down in front of the keyword playlist: The Spy Who Loved Me - 'Ride to Atlantis.' Different indeed! That's my boy ;)

Tuesday is not Monday.

*turns an unappealing shade of green*

That does sound like lots of fun. Almost makes me wish I'd trained in IT instead of the Social Sciences :)

What do you do for that field?

Counselling Psych for awhile (which was okay) and then Archaeology (dream job) for awhile before my health stopped allowing me to do digs which is about all you can do at my level of education. But I'm seriously considering going back for graduate training so I can get a comfy lab job. I did medical assisting and office work after I couldn't dig any more, but working with sick people these days kind of rips out a piece of my soul so it's really either a dull-ass office job or back to school at 30 *sighs*

Well that all certainly sounds interesting. If I could go back to school full-time, I would. I think it would be a nice change in pace. But its been two years since I made my last big change (http://ehowton.livejournal.com/tag/stl) and I'm hoping to stay here awhile.

that little Uhaul thing is cute :)

I'm in the middle of a move, but it's only to a smaller apartment in the same building. Not sure I can handle one more major life-transition just yet after the few years I've had *shrugs*

"Life-transitions" as you put it can certainly be soul-crushing; others return it to you, intact. Unfortunately you sometimes don't know which its going to be until its too late.

Unfortunately true. I just don't think I can handle having the emotional rug ganked out from under me one more time this decade, lol
