The random kite-flying monkey
Funny how people think I'm hitting on them when I insult them out of sincere dislike. Ah well. Probably better that way.
Not much going on in my life. I got a new job as Manager of Network Services for UIEvolution, a research and development subsidiary of Square Enix Inc. (i.e. SquareSoft). I used the signing bonus to pay off the last of my consumer debt, which feels immeasurably good. I've decided to use the increase in income to pay for grad school, to get an MS in Information Management, which is essentially a Business IT degree. I hosted Thanksgiving for the first time, which turned out really well.
I still have no idea what my holiday plans are. I'll be spending someof the time in Vancouver with my parents, I'm sure. I have half an inkling to host a holiday party at Trabant (yes, I've spoken with the owners about this -- their idea, actually), but I think I'd rather do that in January as a birthday party thing instead.
I really like my new job. The hardware setups are really quite impressive and organized. I've never seen a patch panel so organized. Whoever designed the system beyond that, however, should be dragged into the street and shot. My predecessor, essentially. I hope people don't feel that way about me after I leave a place. I don't think they do. I typically leave things better than I found them.
Problem is, when I'm bored, only thing I can think of that I'd like to do is go to work. I keep telling myself, "Wait until Monday, Wait until Monday." I envy Trisha's ability to entertain herself with new and exciting things on a daily basis.
Beware of the Craigslist Crazies. No, I don't mean the personal ads. But them too.
Been watching Gilmore Girls. It's really good.
Off to make a wishlist for people.
