Anthem is apparently creating a position for me...don't know that I've heard of that happening before, but we'll see where that road leads. It would, of course, be a 6 month to hire thing.
2 computers are about as close to ready as I can get em...minor tweaking, but I kinda dislike having to disconnect myself from the net for those lengths of time...will start back on them after bit. Remember a program I need to put on them (Winzip), and then it's going through, and checking and double checking.
Then, back to the 98 box...screwed up the install on it, so must reformat and go at it again..had forgotten some of the ways that 98 interacts with older gateway boxes...amusing. :-) Still, end result should be what I need it to be.
Then, I've got 4 less computers taking up space. Of course, the one I've gotten to use for parts has been kinda happy. Wonder what else I can scavenge out of it.
ANd, on another fun note, finally found out who Negative42 is...which, both did and didn't surprise me. I'd kinda had a clue, but there were one or two pieces that didn't make sense. All is understood now. Kinda glad to know.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Let me 'splain.
Nov. 25th, 2005 11:01 pmOk, I should clarify. :-P
The job at Anthem is now a certainty...at this point, unless one of the other jobs pans out at a higher rate, I'll start working for Anthem on the 20th of December. Which means that the last bottle of Root Beer that Lisa P. at ABG gave me will be consumed that day. :-)
Unless, all of a sudden, I find out that I WOULD be able to live ok and go to school at the same time.
Or, I get a hair up my ass and decide to go to Canada and try to make a living up there.
Feeling of impending major changes still there...dear PLG, I didn't have this sensation last year, so why hit me now? Obviously, the job things has jolted all my senses.
Of course, I still have a few weeks to figure out how to do school and work at the same time, that much is good, but again, what about the Apt? Hrm...
Stream thinking...I need to get a different phone at some point...at least with a new job, I can afford it.
And the question comes up...Unemployment goes off of how many jobs you try to get in a week, that type of thing..if I've got a "sure thing", then how do I acount for that? The only thing I can think of is to just keep applying, interviewing, right up until I start the new job...still, that seems a little..shady. Feh.
And, have found something new to go see...I need (correction, want) to go see Chess. Just got to listen to the soundtrack today...and am enjoying it. Only problem with that is that it makes me miss theatre quite a bit.
Of course, the doubt hits in, about whether Psychology is the right spot for me...I think I've said before, things would be much easier with a Magic 8 ball...shake it, ask it about current events, and then go with the respond...of course, that wouldn't be good either.
So, tomorrow is moving a desk to my sister's place, and then going to the Wild Mercy concert...Sunday? Likely a veg day at this point..am amazingly tired.
So, did something a little goofy tonite...for Thanksgiving, Dad was going through their pantry, and realized he had two things he didn't need...a bottle of Crown Royal (which I'd never tried til tonite), and a bottle of Nassau Royale, which as several people know, si one of my favorite liquors in the world. Well, did a shot and a half of Crown...and realize that, with weight loss and other factors, I'm apparently much more hte lightweight when it comes to drinking anymore.
Now, make no mistake, this isn't like the drinking I've done at InCon on any given year (except Mine), but, I weighed a bit more at that point. So, I'm fionding, once again, that Liquor affects me a little more now. thoughts are streaming together, and I'm no longer caring to correct some of the mistakes I'm making in writing.
Yes, what happens when a stream of conscious writer drinks? Well, you get something like this...normal post, but a bit more scattered. Of course, that's probably part of the reason why I did the shots tonite..it's a Friday, I've got nowhere to be in the morning, and it wasmore curiousity than anything else. :-P
Stream Shift: So, if I were to even vaguely consider moving...what are some of YOUR favorite towns? I've debated Toronto, North Carolina, Texas, and others...so, if you could move to your dream place, where would it be?
Seriously, I'd have a damned hard time thinking of moving anywhere...my friends/family are here..most of what I've made for myself is here. Of course with growing disillusionment with some of my extra-curricular activites, that makes the thought a little easier...but the friends/family thing makes it a LOT harder to consider moving. Of course, the job thing will make it just as hard. I MUST not let myself fall into the trap I did with the former place...growing too comfortable...believing, that whole thing.
Change, any, such as the job, or school, or any of that, is scary as fuck. And as one never knows where the rollercoaster stops, it's good to consider any/all options.
Anyways..that's about it for updating tonite. Head is growing heavy (Huh, go figure...busy/eventful week), so I should wrap up.
Have a good weekend. :-) No idea when I'll update next, but hopefully, I'll at least have a review of the Wild Mercy show tomorrow night...er, Sunday Early morning, since the show goes from 9:00 to Midnght.
Try to have fun this weekend? I know that's my attempt.
