It sounds like I'm going to have to get back to working on tha tproject that I absolutely hate. :(
I've gotten a nice break from it, and I feel like MOST of the stuff that has needed to be done to it has been, but I am REALLY not looking forward to getting back to work on it. This is going to absolutely suck. :(
AWFUL!

Long time
So, once again, it's been like 5 days since I've updated. :( Sorry about that!
I have been working a lot lately -- working from my office though, so it's great! I've been working on an ASP.NET website, which is absolutely thrilling to me. I've learned so much working on it, and I've really been enjoying it. I feel like I've done better on it than I was expecting to, and it works very well, very quickly. My boss really liked it too which is definitely always a plus. :D
So sorry about having not updated much lately! I'm at work now. I'm remoted into my computer at home. Hm, I wish I could do that from downtown, that'd make my life so much easier.
It's also fun to play my music while I'm remoted in, because I know that it actually does play on my computer at home. I'm going to have to hook up my webcam, and play some music, and see what my cat does. :P How amusing would that be.
Poor cat. It's okay, he's satan anyway.

Mehehe
Woo. Happy 4/20 everyone. And no, I don't smoke pot.
Anyway, I haven't really made a post in a few days, been sorta busy, but not with anything particularly entertaining. Been working as usual.
The thing that I'm most excited about is my DSL upgrade! Cavtel has been offering 10Mbps around my area for a while, but not RIGHT there where my house was. I finally got updated to it last night, and I absolutely love it. I've never had an internet connection that fast at home before. I download like a MEGABYTE per second, or around about there from fast servers now. It kicks so much ass.
Work has been cool, I've been able to work from here in the office a lot more lately, because I'm starting on an ASP.NET web project, which I'm excited about. I love doing stuff like this WAY more than old vb6 projects. It's a nice break. I'm sure I'm going to have to go back to the vb6 ones, but I'm glad to have the break from them, at least.
Anyway, that's about it. Nothing particularly exciting. :)
Oh, I read this online novel called "Autumn", it was sorta like Steven King's "The Stand", but not quite as well written. hehe. Although, I tend to be intrigued by books like that, there are 3 more parts to the "series", and now I have to buy the others, because they aren't free online. :( Hehe.
So yeah. Not very well written, but if you're really bored: http://www.theinfected.co.uk/

Stuffed
Happy Easter everyone!
We just got back from Laura's Grandmother's again. She made turkey, stuffing, sweet potato caserole, corn pudding, rice, some cheese potato thing, rolls, and had some dessert from Ukrop's. Apple Pie, and some Chocolate and Pecan tarts. Wow. Everything was awesome. I didn't eat some of everything (thank god), but what I had was yummy.
I hope everyone had a good day! We're gonna just crash here for the rest of the night, I'm sorta excited. The sky is dark as crap off in the distance, it looks like there's a huge storm coming. Crazy!

omg topeka's = awesome.
Had a 9oz, medium-ish, juicy, melt in your mouth sirloin steak with a baked sweet potato covered in butter and brown sugar on the side.
I feel like i'm going to pop.
I feel like i'm going to pop.
Woomp, day off!
This is wierd for me, I'm not sure what to do. It's 8:30, and I'm up, first off. On a day off.
I've got some errands and stuff that I need to run. I'm gonna hit up work and grab my check and deposit it. I think I might take my car by the car wash today too to get some of that crazy pollen off. It's kinda gross. All yellowish. I'm headin over to mom's now to eat some breakfast. Then, maybe Mom and i will grab lunch today or something. I haven't been to Ruby Tuesdays in a while because none of my friends like it anymore, because we sorta wore it out. Where I agree with that, I still sorta have a taste for their Buffalo and Blue chicken sandwich. I love buffalo chicken.
Who else has the day off today?

Woo.
So, work to day was pretty standard. Got some stuff done, but not as much as I'd like to. A lot of paperwork. I got an email from my boss this afternoon, letting me know that I have to go to Davenport again tomorrow to meet with some people, and gather some info from one of their systems for them. All the work for it is done, but the process is probably going to take about 2 hours to run since he wants 3 months worth of historic trading data. I wonder what I'll do for the 2 hours while it's running. :/
Hmm, let's see, tonight. Laura had choir, so I sat around and played Oblivion for a little while. Watched American Idol to see who was going to get kicked off. I was pretty happy about the choice. It sorta bothers me that I've gotten into that show. Granted, I'm pretty much a woman now judging by the TV that I watch. Let's see. My 3 favorite channels now are A&E, TLC, and HGTV. Yes, Home & Garden Television. Sad, sad day. Actually the only thing that I watch on that channel is House Hunters, but still.
I heard from Dean that I'm getting another case to review for Overclocker Cafe as well. I'm really excited about that, I've really liked the last couple that I've gotten. That's basically what my free time is devoted to now. I work from 8:30 to 5:30 every day. Usually get home around 6:15. I still play video games some in the evenings, but I don't really get much time on the computer. Which is fine with me. I spend as much time as I can with Laura. We run errands, watch TV, and just basically hang out. When I'm not doing any of that, I'm writing news or reviews for OCC. I don't go out much with friends anymore. I really do miss seeing some people sometimes.
Dave, you remember when we used to say that we were gonna have each other over once a week to cook or something before we moved in? We should start doing that. hehe. Anyway, hope everyone has a good night! :P
