Still alive

From the AZROLB-is-mad department:
Holy cow. It’s been a dog’s age since I wrote here last. Seriously. My neighbours have dogs, and in between the last post and this one the dogs have gone from running around and playing in the snow to sitting in lawn chairs, smoking stogies and drinking Labatt Blue.
You’ll also note that immediately after this post is another new post, GhettoMixer v1. I wrote that awhile ago but only posted it this morning. When I wrote it I thought it was crap, so instead of posting I saved it to fix up later. I read it this morning and thought that it was still crap, but posted it anyways ’cause I just realized everything here is total crap that nobody reads and blah blah blah so why not?
I think I just offended AZROLB, but, like a tree in a forest….
Anyways, so what’s new?
Just about everything. Seriously. New car, new job, new toys. But you don’t want to hear about that stuff. You came here to read about what a crappy weekend I had.
It started on Friday.
WHAT?!
Fridays are supposed to ROCK! And normally they do. Normally Friday is the best day of the week for me. Normally Friday is the day I crank the stereo up to eleven on the drive home and scare other drivers with my horrible singing.
But this Friday sucked. At work I spent most of my day working on some database stuff for a client and I didn’t get where I wanted it to go. It wasn’t a total waste of time, I did learn a couple of things and moved forward a bit with my task, but nowhere near the success I was aiming for. In my job, if I spend most of my day on one single thing, a number of other things pile up behind. So I was really hoping for a good return on my time, and I didn’t get it.
Instead of driving straight home I sort of skipped my exit on the Queensway and drove around the city to unwind a bit. That always helps.
But the weekend still mostly sucked, partly because of Friday, and partly because of new stuff. For example, my car is making a noise that I don’t like. My *new* car (well, new to me). Nothing gets you pissed off quite so much as laying down over ten grand on a car and having it start to make noises right after you get it.
Anyways, more about new job, new car, new toys, sucky weekend in the next post. It’s 09h00 and I gots ta get workin’.
