Thanks, I forgot how terrible they are.

Yea...I remembered them being a bit better than that.

How bad is it up there today? Wind is whipping around down here. They said the windchill was -30 this morning and I believe them. Not much snow though. Less than an inch.

Not bad. Only -6 this morning on my way in. As a bonus, Lake Superior is nearly frozen over so the lake effect snow might actually stop at some point. Just north of me already has 200+ inches this season.

Server is still farked


So far our ideas to fix it are to shoot it or stick a banana in a disk drive.

Power just came back on after being off since 8:15 this morning. Not sure what the hell they were doing that it took so long, finally gave them a call at around 1:50, the lady said she didn't understand what was taking so long and that'd she'd call the crew on site. 2:05
power is back on, it's a miracle.

-- List of things I'll be doing differently for the next year (to see if my life improves) --


1. Exercising at night.
Tired of people telling me its bad. I always sleep better afterwards. Besides, I seem to have an excess of energy late in the evening anyways. Plus I prefer showering at night as opposed to the morning.

2. Dressing nicely.
Fancy shirts when I go out on Friday night, as opposed to the plain black T and grubby jeans I usually wear.
Titanium skull ring and St. Brendan medallion any time except when its physically dangerous. My Fossil watch which has been sitting unused for quite some time also needs to be used daily.

3. Lying.
It seems that complete honestly doesnt really impress too many people (especially women and employers) so I will try to start sprinkling some lies into my conversation from now on, just to see if I can do it.

4. Fighting for jobs.
I think the calm, cool approach to job hunting is seriously failing me. From now on I go after them with more enthusiasm and vigor. Couple of calls so they know I'm interested, and maybe stopping by if the place is not secured (like Micron unfortunately).

5. Taking college easy.
I worry too damn much about school considering my panic hasnt improved my grades at all. I need to work hard but not freak out or live just for school work.

6. Spending more time with women.
Like the job search, a cool, calm, distant approach isnt working. I need to try harder. I got fed up a couple years ago after striking out so much. Stopped trying entirely and that sure as hell didnt do anything for me.
I think with a skinnier bod and nicer appearance I can do a little better.

7. Body art.
If nothing above improves my life at all, I'll take the plunge and scar my beautiful ass.
But only if I lose some weight. Fat people with tattoos make me sick. They should just fucking spend that money on a gym. Piercings are even worse. Fuck heads. Do they know how stupid they look?
