I need a day off.

The last week or two have been pretty busy at work.  I’m trying to finish up a few projects that I had put on the back burner, but all of the new crap that is coming in makes it difficult.  I had a list of five things that I was going to do Friday.  Had…

Current mood: wistful

I think that Spring is finally here…after a brief dip back into the 50s.  I don’t think we’ll hit the 30s as a high anytime soon, so the renewal that is springtime is upon us.  The fresh start, if you will. I’m still waiting to hear back from ECE.  I’m hopeful, but I’m not letting…

This week

Monday was my interview.  It went…alright.  I’m usually pretty pessimistic about how interviews went, but I should hear one way or another by the end of next week. The rest of this week has been pretty boring.  Tonight is the round-trip to Tinley Park.  I think I’m going to spend some time cleaning the house…

Current musical interest

I’ve been listening to elsinore for the past few days. I purchased the album Nothing for Design on iTunes yesterday and I’m quite satisfied with my purchase. I’m addicted to three songs, Cannonballs (which can be found on their Myspace page), Long Run, and twentytwenty. The rest are pretty good too, but if I only…

We lost.

My CAL team lost our first round playoff match.  It was pretty disappointing.  Daniel kept getting up from bed in the middle of it, my phone was ringing off the hook, and I generally wasn’t able to get calmed down and in my rhythym.  It was a disappointing finish to a pretty good season.  I…

Excitement…

My team made the CAL playoffs.  We’re the #40 seed and play the #25 seed on Wednesday. I applied for a job with ECE on Friday and I hope to hear back from them soon.  I think I’d be a perfect fit for it and I think I would get a lot of satisfaction out…

Shaved head…

Dave asked for pics in the comments so I finally got around to posting…even though I ran into him last night in the grocery store.  🙂 Three pictures of my hair before: Three pictures of my head buzzed with clippers: Four pictures of my head after shaving with a razor:

A whole new look

I’m going to shave my head tonight after I return from dropping Daniel off.  I’ve been thinking about it for quite some time, especially with the long, drawn out transition of going bald, but I think I’m finally going to do it tonight.  My heart is already racing thinking about it.  What will people say? …

A quote from last September

This was from an e-mail exchange about publishing my e-mail address as the contact point for departmental support. Anyone who works in a support group with multiple people and a single point of contact (group e-mail address, etc.) knows what problems this can cause. OK, OK, OK….I’ll have [him] take your email addresses off that…
