since my brain feels mushy, i’m going to jot down some thoughts floating around in it …
Guster concert last night : yummy. wish they would have played longer, i could have watched and listened to them for hours and hours. funny thing tho, we’re stuffed in a theater with seats, and surrounded by mostly chics, all dolled up for the occasion .. and someone kept farting .. seriously, every couple of minutes a wave of fart would fill the air.. who says chics don’t fart? (and no, i swear it wasn’t me!)
New job: still love it, but its a very bizzare place i work; and very bizzare people… doing alot of techy stuff .. been very hands-on already .. starting to get a handle on things and get comfortable with the environment .. still very much glad i made the switch
i’m tired of meeting with ‘sales’ people who get a spot on their nicely pressed shirt (ink, food, coffee, whatever) and then say something like “oh well, my wife will be pissed!” .. don’t these dudes ever do their own laundry? it just seems so antiquated..
i work in a much larger office building than i used to and work for a much larger company. coming in to work in the morning, or back from lunch in the afternoon, or sometimes, just walking around the building, i see very well dressed business-type people who can’t seem to stare long enough at me before i’m out of site. i sense they often want to ask ‘excuse me, are you in the right place? i don’t think you’re supposed to be here’ .. i’m not sure how to feel abou this, but when talking with a coworker about it today, he said “good, they need to figure out that they’re not all there is in the professional world” (or something to that affect, he’s not the most eliquent of sorts – this coworker of mine). unfortunately, the looks make me feel very self-conscious and have almost made me reconsider my corporate hippie look. but, in the end, i got this job – dreadlocks, facial piercings and all – because of what i can bring to the company. these other saps can go fuck themselves.
although i feel bad for my friends at the old company who have to make up for the lack of network admin, i get a good smile and chuckle out of knowing that they haven’t been able to find a suitable replacement for me yet. also, knowing that at least one consultant has gone awol and another’s short term agreement has expired, leaving the ‘ol gang in a serious pickle just makes it that much sweeter. i can’t help it, does anyone really want to know that they could be replaced in a week? come on …
iceman is the day after tomorrow. i haven’t ridden my bike since saturday. and i doubt i’ll get on it tonight either. ugh. i have a sneaking suspicion that i’m going to have another miserable race like o2s. that’s just disheartening. if i hadn’t paid $50 in fucking MARCH for this entry, i’d consider skipping the bike part and just do the beer part. *sigh*
allrighty … that’s about all i’ve got right now … i’m going to go hunt down a snack i think …
