Ok, the site is over on it’s new diggs at Dreamhost. The new design is up, and on the 7th day he rested. :) Still have some minor tweaks to do here and there, but those will come in time. Special thanks to Shad for pointing out to me that a hyphen is different than an underscore (HATE DEBUGGING). And now to sum up how I feel, I’d like to post the following link for your enjoyment:
… when you have a kid:
* 24 hours in the day strangely becomes both not enough time, and way too long at the same time.
* Words like: Boobah, Tubby Toast, Zing-zing-zing-zingbah, and Noonoo scar their way into your vocabulary never to be removed again.
* Suddenly you barely notice the screaming kids in restaurants.
* You will discover that 4 hours of sleep is plenty.
* You will desperately crave silence, but you will discover it can be a most unsettling sensation when it happens.
* Drinking alone will seem more like maintaining sanity rather than a red flag for alcoholism.
* You’ll realize you haven’t uttered the words “Lazy Sunday” in ohhhh how old is your kid?
* Remember those people in the supermarkets who’s kids were “just holy terrors, spoiled brats, misbehaved demon sprouts, and little walking drops of distilled evil” and you thought things like, “Learn to control your child! How about some discipline! Maybe give parenting a shot, you dumbshit!” Well. You will suddenly reach a point (usually around the time your offspring is 2ish) where your anger will turn to pity and understanding. Trust me. But, it’s still not ok to stay in the store when your child is having a meltdown!
* Your bank account will hit all time lows…
* You’ll never ever love another creature as much as you do that kid… (Say it with me, “Awwwwwwwww”!)
It’s official. I’m now the new night monkey at Spacely. Fucking yay. So here I am, late night coding on various client sites, and three glasses of vodka in. I just thought I’d take a moment to reflect on how I feel about all this change… (Perhaps a moment of silence would be better suited…)
Cons:
* I will see my family even LESS than I do now… Yeah, it’s actually possible to see them LESS. This is a HUGE con… :(
* I will have to be a ninja again in my own home since everyone will be nestled away in their beds when I walk in.
* Lots of alone time at the office… No I’m not a people person, but I actually do enjoy good company.
Pros:
* I will get more studying and work done.
* Lots of alone time at the office… While I enjoy good company, I enjoy solitude as well. :)
* I’ll save all kinds of money now that I won’t be able to go to all those parties I attend on Friday nights… errr… wait… nevermind.
* Pay differential. ;)
* The shift fits my bio-clock much better… BLAH!! I vant to suck your blood! ;)
* None of the typical workday hustle and bustle. ;) Love that!
* Get to listen to Love Line on the way home… Uhm. Yeah, I like Love Line. You got a problem with that? Tho I hear Adam isn’t on the show anymore! WTF, over!
Well, that’s interesting.. More pro’s than con’s… But, that first con is a doozy! It easily counts for sixxx. :) Ok, on that note, color me gone. I’m gonna go sneak around the house a bit before I crash. :)
