OH GAWD. I can be so fucking pathetic. Being on the weak side of things is horrible. I go out of my own way to embarrass myself. When will I ever learn to shut the hell up!!! :D

Had one of those spotlight moments today. We had assumed the Computer in the conference room here was Wired up and ready to go for a very crucial training session this afternoon. 15 minutes before the meeting My boss heads in to boot up and get everything started... and nothing happens.

 

He calls me in (being the unofficial resident CPU tech) and points at the mass of unplugged cables. I get the machine set up and going and upon logging in I realize Crap, theres no Network cable. So basically I have a paperweight with pretty lights.

 

My boss of course gets extremely pissed at the MIS guys who were suppsoed to do this yesterday. In a moment of bravado (or stupidity) I said "Don't worry gary, I'll have this machine running by your meeting." And he told me to go ahead and get it fixed. I walk to the patch panel and realize the reason it isn't connected is that the panel is FULL, no more physical slots avaliable in the lower ports.

 

:D:D

 

So I think to myself "Shit, why the hell did I say I could fix this? I don't know fuck all about this tangled mess! What am I gonna do!" Then after calming down a second I ran over to check the connections on some as-yet unused PC's and found a labled port. On a hunch and some limited experiance I rerouted it to the conferance room and programmed in a new user for PC to accept for the training session people.

 

By the Time MIS got here the problem was solved and the training session was well on its way. Got surprised looks and thanks from MIS and My boss for quick thinking and good work. Then when they Daisy chained in a new panel they swapped my port to a faster less restricted port. :sly:

 

 

I swear, when it suddenly hits you that you really know your stuff then get it confirmed by Pro's ...Life is GOOD. B)

Ok, so I haven't posted for a bit, here's why...

 

I'm driving down the expressway (836 west for you miami folk) and my car just kinda starts slowing down, regardless of my gas pedal stomping. Power steering goes out and I'm pulled over in the grass. Fuck, dead car. My friends come ot help, we put more gas in it, give it a jump, and it's stlll laying there. So, Mr. tow truck comes, and is raising my car on the flat bead (pulling it up the ramp) So as my car is pulled about 3/4 of the way up the ramp, the chain pulling it up the ramp snaps! Yes, snap! Just like that, my car is now rolling down the 836 west expressway BACKWARDS. I stand there hating my life as I watch Mr. fat tow truck driver chase my car down the expressway with cars screeching and honking every which way. By some act of god or the devil my car doesnt get hit, and Mr. fat tow truck driver pushes it back onto the grass, gives me a deer in the headlights look, and tries again to get it on the flatbead, this time successfully. So, it gets taken to a mechanic next to FIU, and I sleep around all week trying to get this shit fixed, and it turns out my fuel pump was broken. Not so bad, it only cost 600 DOLLARS to fix. On top of that I just got a ticket a week ago, and I've been wearing prescription sunglasses all week (day and night, indoors and out, in the movie theater, etc.) because I lost my two pairs of regular glasses, and my service engine light is still on.

Some beautiful lyrics for you lovely people:

 

Fighting for survival is such a boring battle

Want to get into my car and drive up to Seattle

Where the used record stores have much better prices

But I don't have a car and I don't have a licence

 

Should I take another trip to the DMV

Get another learners permit with a picture of me

I'll put it in my wallet along with my four dollars

And the condom that is on there that has probably expired

I'd save it for New York but New York is where I'm from

Just waiting for a way to feel my life has begun.

Im not sayin everybody else isnt gettin a ton of porn mails, but mine seem especially raunchy lately. Does having an apparently porn-esque word like cowboy in your email address get you locked onto the "dirty, dirty bastard" list or somethin?

Check out the domain name of the site hyped on the left there, that's a keeper. It should be noted that my curiosity forced me to take the one on the right up on its offer, but depsite advances in technology, i must warn others not to believe the hype, it was nothing like legs at all.

A quote for Junkerseed, you should like this one:

 

"Moving the camera. In the early days that is all i thought about, it was so hard to do and had so much meaning, but now, with the technology and film speeds, moving the camera - everyone does it, anyone can do it and everyone does it, so now it has no meaning at all.

None.

Now it's about restraint, about purposely not moving the camera."

*let it be known, i got into yet another accident today... ??? ... accident count stands at 3...*

 

it seems as if everytime i try to do something good, i get screwed over. i mean last week leah and i were volunteering for this ESL thingy and i got a ticket... the stupid cop was a bitch. then today, we go in to do some volunteer time and it's cancelled, and i back up into a car in the parking lot. i sure get into a shitload of accidents for being a damn good driver. at least my car's not fucked... i mean it could be worse. the lady was cool about it and just let it go, just a spot i gotta get fixed where the paint came off... oh well, happy it wasn't bad.

 

is this a sign for me to stop trying to be nice?

ah 1... ah 1 2...

 

::bom, pssst, bom-bom bom, pssst (repeat)::

 

Taking Junkerseed to get his car fixed.

Hopefully the engine don't get in a mix.

I don't want to have to go call a tow truck,

Just because it overheats and it starts to buck.

He should've fixed the car a few days ago,

but I gotta step in & show him where to go.

Waiting on a cuban is like waiting on messiah,

You wait long enough, your ass catches FIRE!

Went to take the Fort worth Police Exam yesterday, 100 questions 50 sentanve structure and 50 reading comprehension. Fortunately the area thats always been my Forte. Smoked the test and finished prolly in the first 100 or so in about 50 min out of the 75 allotted. Left feeling i got a MINIMUM of 98 but possibly 100. Lottery number in case of ties was 598 (out of i think 600) But My take on it I scored so high I didn't need a high number so chance gave my the shit number so someone on the boarder line could Luck out.

 

Feels good to know i've actually got a good shot at being a Cop and making some decent money while keeping my city safe. B)

interesting thing i found out about the word chicane (one of my fav musical talents)

 

chicane

 

n : a movable barrier used in motor racing; sometimes place before a dangerous corner to reduce speed as cars pass in single file v 1: defeat someone in an expectation through trickery or deceit

 

GREAT! It's used in motor racing too! GO NSX!
