I got an email from J about the vacation request with more riders than an appropriations bill. He is trying to pull “Corporate Policy” crap on me. The bastard.
I came across these two softwares in the recent past. First is a 3D desktop for Windows XP. Sphere XP. An excellent concept, but still has quite a few bugs that need ironing out. I wouldnt recommend it if you dont have atleast 512 MB RAM and a 128 MB Video Card.
The second and more useful app is Xplorer 2. Its the way windows explorer should have been. The lite version is missing a few bells and whistles, but is infinetly more functional than windows explorer.
After conquering numerous obstacles I finally got work done today. 3 FULL HOURS of it too. Oh ya.. whose your daddy?
Ok. So I finally leave the realm of my office to go do some real fab work and all these stupid electrodes start falling off. Had to go back to the doctor’s place and get that taken care of. Now she wants me to redo the whole thing. I endured 24 hrs of pure torture only to repeat it?
I am just going to grab some lunch and get back to my work.

Today I am going to work. Not sit in front of this ghastly blue screen and day dream. Not answer emails from 2 years ago. Not talk to my officemate about the weather in Azarbaijan. I am going to work. Stop laughing, I seriously am going to do it.
This morning I dropped by a coffee shop on the way to my office to grab my morning dose of caffeine. There was this guy managing the counter who couldn’t have been any younger than 24. He freakin calls me “Sir” !!! WTF? I am not a freakin SIR… He might have been trying to be polite or something, but anyways, it costed him is $2 tip.
I had barely gotten over that, when my doctor calls. I hate it when she calls. She never calls me with any good news.. ever. So today she woke up and found out that I still hadnt filled for bankruptcy so decided to go ahead and prescribe a whole new set of tests. The first few were ok, the normal blood, xray, yada yada yada… the last one, however, was interesting. She wanted me to carry this thing to monitor my heart rate for 48 hours straight!! I tried to talk her out of it, but failed. So I go in to get this monitor thingy, and the waiting room looks like a holding place of a mortuary or something. The youngest person there other than me was about 65 or so. Long story short, I have 7 electrodes stuck to my body, a 2 pound box lugging around my waist, and am really really really pissed.
So its not bad enough as it is with being 26, people calling me SIR, the slow music, now, senior medication seems to have joined the list. The whole world is out to get me. Can I just give in and start cashing in my social security checks? I swear one more of this, and I am moving to Florida, and starting with my “in my time” speeches.
The session with WR was really intense today. We talked about only personal things. About my life, my family, the way I interact, and a lot about the whys. I have never felt so vulnerable ever before in my life. It was as if someone was shredding me to pieces. I know its a safe place, and the things I say there are never going to get thrown back in my face, but I hate it. It leaves me so emotionally volatile for the rest of the day. I have to remind myself that this is actually good for me in the long run. I was so much better off having things bottled up, atleast I didnt have to deal with them.
Keeping in the spirit of “true” scientific education of Jesus Land, here is an open letter to the Kansas School Board. It is pretty funny and at the same time sad. If my device doesnt work, can I just tell J that it was how “creator” meant it to be?
