Yeah I know-
It’s been awhile.
Been busy with the day to day survival stuff. I did a few construction like thingies around the ole homestead, I abso-friggin-lutely will take pics and post them this weekend.
Grace brought her cat up and is little by little going through her stuff at her parents and transporting the keeper stuff up also. I jokingly told her that if she takes a year to bring all her stuff up it won’t seem like she’s moving in officially.
Sam actually got a job, just in the nick of time. He’s working at Freight Liquidators, unloading trucks, putting displays together, stuff like that. I guess he took me seriously when I said he has to start paying for his own car insurance or that cars coming off the road.
Speaking of which, I actually got my transmission back from my friend. I threw it back in a few weeks ago and so far so good. Put about 1500 miles on it and it hasn’t blown up yet! I guess a little freon leaked out when it was sitting as the A/C doesn’t work anymore, but I don’t need it now, it’s down into the forties at night…
Hmm, I just wanted to interject this link from Dive Into Mark-
Specs as it really really is good to be reminded now and then that I made the right choice getting out of the IT business. I got an email from an old co-worker yesterday telling me about a position I should take. Big money, but a 6 month gig. So what do I do after that? And when I think about all the frustrating meetings with clueless project managers and vendors or clients I’ve sat in on, I start to realize that no amount of money is enough.
In fact, maybe I need to partake of a good dose of my all-time fave usenet group, why of course, I’m talking about alt.sysadmin-recovery. And yes I assume you don’t have a default newreader so it’s the google groups page. Remember deja-news?
OK, now I’m reminiscing too much, time to go, have stuff to do, later.
