Yet Another Week…

by Slack, on August 27th, 2006

So the big move at Spacely is all done. What’s more is it actually went pretty damn well! So, here I am late at night, trying to get ready for the new week. I’m now in a new desk at the new building and soon to be the lucky new recipient of our next night shift. This is both a blessing and a curse. While I’m going to have more time for coding and studying I’m going to see my wife and son even less than I get to now. Oh well, it’s only four months, right? :) BLARF

In other news, Rhys is doing well these days. He’s being the normal defiant and testing two year old. Just driving us absolutely bat shit crazy.

Speaking of bat shit crazy, Heidi is here next to me watching some freaky ass orchestra shit. Nothing against strings, man. My roots are still in good string music, but we are supposed to be chilling. :P Ok, and now she is listening to one of those “Hits of the 70’s” infomercials.

She just punctuated that event with, “You know, I still want that AM Gold collection..” And I’m the crazy one… Yeah.

Ok, why so I seem to be babbling on? Well, it’s because I’m having fun using my new TenGo user input system for my PDA. I’d put up the link for you but IE on the PDA sucks. Google it. It’s free, but I totally plan on paying for the extended version. Imagine typing at 74 words per minute on your PDA!

[EDIT] Here’s the link to TenGo!

EDIT (06/20/05)

Ok, let me try to translate that to English… WOW! I had no idea it was that bad..

——-snip——
This will be a quick entry since I’ve taken an Ambien and can harldy keep both eyes open at the same time… Thus, there may be a few small gramatical and spelling errors…

So, what’s goin on lately… Rhys stood up twice on his own, with no supporting help from Mom, Dad, or pieces of furniture. He didn’t walk anywhere and sat down proptly afterward. I figure he just wanted to say, “SEE!! I can do it! Now shut the hell up and let me play!” Tomorrow is his 18 month check up. Will let you now about that later. DAMN IT!!! This pill is making me sleepy!

Nothing new to speak of at work. We have one of our “Team Days” coming up soon and that should be fun. They usually are.

Heidi is going on her road trip with Bobbi soon. She’ll be gone for around 3 weeks, although apparently it feels like it will be 3 months… :)

Ok, I better go to bed now since I’m typing with my nose… Good night…

Same Ol, Same Ol

by Slack, on April 10th, 2005

Well, it’s pretty much the same ol shit around here… I keep meaning to write about something interesting, but nothing interesting ever happens! LOL

Rhys is steadily getting better and better. His reflux has all but stopped — knock on wood… We don’t have to worry so much anymore at night when we put him to bed. If he’s wailing, these days it’s more likely he’s throwing a fit and not laying in a puddle of puke. :)

Had a poker game on Friday and got to see some old friends. It was a nice time and I ended the night up $1.20 :-D I’m a high roller, what can I say. :)

In other news, we’ve been invited to THREE weddings! Count em! THREE! Looks like everyone had the same idea or something. Heidi’s best friend, Jess, is one of the brides I am talking about, and since Heidi will be in the wedding party, we will be going to Jess’ wedding for sure. I don’t think we’ll be able to swing the other weddings and that’s a bummer, but we can only do so much. :( On the plus side, all three couples are quality and I expect them to last the long run. :) That’s so refreshing to see. :)

The biggest news as of late is I quit smoking… Yes, I know, here we go again. Hopefully this time it will stick. So, we’ll see. :)

Well, that’s about it around these parts…

Enjoy The Silence….

by Slack, on March 11th, 2005

Ok, so I’m sitting here checking my mail in this noisy ass computer room. It’s noisy since I can’t afford to buy a real case. My rack and my cases are so bad I’d have to work on them for a week straight just to get to loser status. Put together a grand imagination, a severe lack of patience, and a dremel… That should properly paint the picture that is my illustrious computer rack…

ANYWAY, I’m sitting here with Heidi and I whine to her that I wish we had music in the bedroom… Because well, music is one of the only things that can get the voices in my head on the same page so to speak. How’d we get here you ask? Well, because it so fucking noisy in this room… I wear headphones and listen to music most of the time, and I was just using this as a chance to whine to my wife about how I would sleep so much better if we could listen to music in the bedroom…

So, why don’t we purchase a stereo for back there? Well, here’s our dilemna. She CAN’T sleep with music on… And I have DIFFICULTY sleeping without it… It seems to bug her the most, so she wins out, and I get silence… I HATE SILENCE. :)

Her response to my whining was something along the lines of, “You are a freak! If you put a poll out there you’d find the vast majority of people can’t sleep with music either!”

So I did. :) Cast your vote and help me show Heidi that she’s wrong! :-D

Click here to vote or view results!

PS: She also added, after I told her that I WILL put up a poll, “And if the poll says that more people sleep with music, it’s because all your geeky friends are the one’s who voted!!” LMAO!! I love my wife. :)
