Rainy Days Suck

It's shitty outside today. It's friday, which is good. No more work for a whole 2 days! Woo.

All my geek friends are leaving on Sunday to go on to the annual geek-fest lan party down in Nags Head, and I don't get to go this year. On one hand, I'm a little dissappointed because it's always fun, but on the other, I'm sorta glad that I don't have to worry about it. Also, it's going to be nice to be able to go on a Honeymoon in April, and I'll be able to use the rest of my vacation when we move into a new house.. hopefully this summer. :D

PS, look forward, because I'm sure I'll be recruiting some of you guys to help me move again. lol.

Fkn Dominion. hehe.

So, we get home yesterday and there's a notice on our door that Virginia Power is going to cut off the power from 6:00 to 6:45 this morning. Shit. Our alarm clock goes off at 6:30. What if the power's not in? So, we scramble around yesterday to find batteries to put in the alarm clocks so hopefully they'll still go off and wake us up, and I set the alarm on my phone too.

Go to sleep, and at like 3:00, the power goes off. Wakes us both up, and it's a pain in the ass to go back to sleep. Then, around 4:30 or 5:00 rolls around, and we start waking up.. just KNOWING that the power's going to go off again any minute now. Goes off around 5:45 (pretty much still awake) and comes back up at like 6:05. Great. So the alarm clock does go off as it should, so I disable the alarm on my phone. Noo, couldn't be that easy. That goes off too.

So, I don't know. Just a pain in my ass. I didn't sleep like well at ALL last night and I woke up with a crazy bad headache this morning because of it. I hope it doesn't come back.

Family Reunion!

We had my family gathering today down in Franklin. My family can be so country sometimes, it's funny. It was good times by all though. The food was incredible, as usual. :D And then we went out to dinner afterwards. I got some Buffalo wings.. I'd been craving those bad boys for like 2 weeks. Really hit the spot.

Ok, off to bed! :D

Sigh

I'm a complete and total world of warcraft addict.

Wewp for long weekends

So, I got a 3 day weekend last weekend, and that was pretty nice. I've worked Tuesday, Wednesday, and today (thursday) of this week. Laura and I took off Tomorrow, and everywhere's closed on Monday, so this week should even be a four day weekend. I'm so excited about that, it should be niiice.

Work hasn't been too bad. It's been a slow week, and thus I haven't gotten much done. It's not too bad, I haven't had too much pressing that I really NEEDed to do, but now that the year is starting afresh, I'm going to have to get a lot more done.

I've been thinking about new year's resolutions, and in the past, I've always just said that I want to lose weight. The fact of the matter is that it's more than that with me. I never have any motivation to DO anything -- be it eat right, exercise, or even do things around the house that I know I need to do.

Problem is that I can't will myself to "be more motivated" because that just isn't realistic. So, what I'm going to try to do is just say "screw it, just do what you need to do."

Whether I have the motivation or will or whatever to do what I need to do, I CAN consciously make myself just get up off my lazy ass and do things, and that's just what I'm going to have to do. Sure, I've tried in the past, but only about half-assedly, so this time, it's going to be full-out. No more Mr. Lazy Guy. :D

I think that's going to be it for this year. That should solve a lot of my problems. hehe.

How about you guys?

Early Merry Christmas

I'm at work, again! I know that I didn't want to be, but I'm about to leave. We all just got done watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and it was pretty funny.

I hope everyone has an awesome weekend and a Merry Christmas.

Why it's always about work

I was thinking earlier today, I always post on here when I'm on a break at work or something like that. I can also only do it when I'm here in the office. I have a lot of things that I have made a habit of doing at home each night, mostly consisting of checking email, hopping on WoW to check auctions, etc. I really need to put posting to this thing in my nightly routines.

I sometimes wonder how I'm ever going to go back and read later to see how I'm feeling if I never post in here.

Anyway, so what's been going on in my life? It's been pretty productive, actually. I've got off tomorrow with Laura, and we're going to drop her car off again to make sure we're done with all the work that we need to get done on it. We've been doing a lot of planning and such for our wedding (Which is April 14th of next year for all those of you who may be interested). I got baptised last sunday at church, so that's cool. I've gotten a bunch done at work lately, but still not as much as I'd like to. I have a bunch of different things that I need to be working on and so sometimes it's kinda tough to keep up with it all. I'm going to work on prioritizing all of it so that I can knock things out instead of just dancing around them.

That's about it, really. Life seems rather normal.

Motivation to the negative degree

I am soo sleepy, I don't know what to do. This week has just dragged by. I really have nothing to complain about, it hasn't been particularly stressful or long or anything like that. It's been very very mundane. I guess that's why it's seemed so god awfully long.

Halloween's comming up soon. What's everyone going to be?

Wow.

It has just been absolutely forever again since I've had a chance to write anything.

I've been getting sent downtown again a lot to work on that old program that I can't stand, so that sucks. Other than that, work's been going really well.

Laura's great grandmother passed away over last weekend, so we went to the funeral today. It was sad (as it generally is at funerals), but she lived to be 94, and had an awesome life, so it's nice to see someone who had so much time on this earth to enjoy.

I finally hit level 30 on my Gnome Rogue on WoW! I know, I don't get to play much. For those of you who actually play wow, you realize that's not much of an accomplishment, but I'm enjoying it. I got into PvP a bit too and got to rank 1! That was pretty exciting for me.

Let's see. I have a review that I really need to work on, but I haven't had time to with all that's been going on, so that sorta sucks. It sounds like most of my weekend's going to be devoted to finishing tha tup. Which is fine, because it's for another case. It seems sweet so far, and maybe I can get rid of this big eye-sore that's in here now. :)

Anyway! I'm really going to try (though I say that all the time) to keep getting this thing updated.

Have a goodnight!

Long Time

So, I've gotten back into working on that Ticketless program that I can't stand at work. It's been going pretty good, but it's so annoying since it has such a tight deadline on everything that needs to be done for it. My job is really stressful, and that drives me nuts. I LIKE the work that I do, and I really enjoy working with the people that I work with, but sometimes I seriously question whether or not I'm well equipped to handle the stress.

I've always been a very laid-back and relaxed individual, and I hate it when I get stressed out. I've been thinking about trying to look for something else just for that reason. But, I don't want to since I like the work that I do now. So, I don't know what to do. I get annoyed at times, but then at other times it's going really well and I don't have any trouble at all.

*grr* so frustrating.

Help me out, here.
