Sitting here

Well, I'm sitting here thinking that I really should get some sleep... I'm running some scans on the boss's son's computer - I think I have all the viruses and ad/spyware off of it. A couple more scans and I will be sure. Woohoo.
For some odd reason, Jana seems to think that I'm obsessed with Fozzy... I mean come on - just because I take a few pictures here and there doesn't mean anything, never mind the fact that he is the background on my phone and on one of the desktops of my laptop... it's just silly.

Computers computers computers

Well, today has been about meetings and computers. First thing in the morning I had a meeting, about 3.5 hours, could not help but yawn. Reorganized the office some, called a woman with a complaint - nothing too bad. Woohoo

I brought home my boss's son's computer, it's very infected with viruses and the such - I've never seen Firefox open 7 unrequested new tabs before. I installed AVG and was able to scan a bit of the computer before the battery went almost dead - have to get the power supply before I can continue. (for some reason he didn't update his antivirus software).
Lately I have been trying to get compiz to work on my laptop - with absolutely no success. In Gnome I can see the themes, but can't get them to start, and I can't get anything to work in KDE - I have followed 5, "sure fire", guides on how to get this to work - guess what, none of them worked - they all made it so that X wouldn't start. Good thing I'm comfortable using the command line. I will look some more on this later - it's bed time now.
Oh, I got my first comment in the blog just about a day ago. Wow. hehehe

Time for a hunt

This message is to Jana.
I have something hidden where Garfield and his friends are feeling rather flat.

Mornings are evil

I'm betting that you think you know what this post is about just from the title... well if you are thinking that it's about me not liking mornings, then you would be right.
Well, it's about 7:30am, and I slept a grand total of about 1.5 hours. That's the problem with going from 6 nights of working 11pm to 7am... and then turning around to work at 8am with only one "day off" (a whole 25 hours (less if you want to count the driving time and the time it takes to actually get out of the hotel, and the time it takes to get ready for work), closer to 22 hours).
I just could not get to sleep last night (that working till 7am thing again), and I didn't till I went to bed at 4:30 am. I'm sure the only reason I fell asleep so quick was because of what Jana and I call "Kitty Magic". "Kitty Magic" is the seemingly magical ability Fozzy has to make me fall asleep.
Okay, I'm tired right now, and I'm sure I will be doubly so by the time I get off work. Maybe things will go good at work and I will be able to skip out a bit early and make up the time later in the week.

Thought I would post

Not much to report, I mowed the lawn today. Jana and I went out to for dinner at a mexican restaurant. Right now it's about 2:30am, and we just got back from McD's - that diet is going great. I need to get some sleep, I have to be to work tomorrow at 8am.

Too much time awake

Well, today has been a long one. I got off work about 8:00am, an hour late, then Jana and I decided to go grab something to eat. I think I finally fell asleep about 10. I woke up about 1:40pm, since Jana had a doctors appointment at 2:30 (apparently the alarm clock went off about three times before I got up) - turns out that Jana hadn't slept at all.
We get to the doctor, and he comes in trying to make in impression (even I could tell this through my half asleep mind). Turns out Jana needs to loose some weight (we forgot to ask how much exactly) - and what a coincidence, I need to as well (that last part was from me, not the doctor). So I guess that Jana and I are going to be on a diet for a while - there goes those deep fried lard nuggets.
After getting home, we head back to bed, by now it's 4pm. I set my alarm for 9:30pm - I can get a few hours more sleep. Then my work phone goes off - it was the best kind of call, "Sorry, I didn't mean to call you!". Whelp, I'm up, have been since 7:15pm - with a total of about 7 hours, even though it feels like less.



Right now I have a gassy cat sleeping on my lap - he hasn't gotten enough sleep either, and I'm working on a spreadsheet to try and tack how much I eat, and how much I exercise - maybe Jana will use it too - who knows.
Dwight just popped onto IM, apparently Amy is going in for open heart surgery tomorrow. I wish there was better news then that.
Well that pretty much sums up the day - crappy.

Trip

You know, I'm sitting her at work, I have a little extra time on my hands, and I planned out a trip from here to Oregon. Man I would like to take that trip - maybe I could talk Jana into it for next year - if I try hard. I would like to take about a week and a half off, and just drive it. I could go see Amy, Dwight, Marian, Monica (in alphabetical order to avoid hurt feelings :)) show Jana the great scenery, and even show her my home town. There are of course concerns, Jana would be sore from the trip (so would I), and what to do with the every lovable Fozzy - but I'm sure we can figure out something.
I will have to think on this more.

Another quiet night

I think it's a record, two quiet nights in a row. :-) Jana packed me a nice lunch.
Not much to report, just about to go to bed. Fozzy is starving for attention again, I will have to give him some - after I get up.
Now Jana is getting me some juice - Woohoo!!

Ahhh....

Well, today is another day. I got off work about an hour ago. After taking out the trash, and changing out the mouse on Jana's computer, Jana was nice enough to make me some breakfast.
Work wasn't bad at all. I was training the new guy, nice guy. I'm sure I would have a better time of that if I didn't have such a problem with people I don't know. Oh well, tis life.
Not much else is going on, life as normal. Jana and I are about to go to Sonic to get some more breakfast - what we had just wasn't filling. Then it's off to bed for all good little Duanes'.

Ah mornings

I love to sleep through them, as much as possible. Like today for instance, I went to bed at 3:30am, and didn't get up till about 2pm. I know that seems like a long sleep, but I needed it after my previous day with little sleep.
I guess I should go out and mow the lawn again - we've had a lot of rain and the grass is growing like crazy (damn it). I'm still trying to convince Jana that just removing the grass, and putting rock out front would be better - and would look nice. Maybe someday.

Good day at work

I had a rather good day today, depsite the lack of sleep from last night. Work went rather smoothly, a few hicups here and there, but all in all - smooth. I even help a guest with a question he had about the SunOS (I'm thankful for Man pages). Got to leave on time as well - woohoo!!

Jana's a bit on the sore side, but not too sore to make me a tasty steak dinner. Yummy. I just can't figure out why she called me a Hee Haw.

Fozzy is wanting to play bad, have to do that before I go to bed - that way he might sleep though the night. Did you know that cats are the number one cause of insamnia? (Neither did I, till I made up the fact).

I'm thinking a nap might be in order - soon.

Another day and another rough night

Well, last night was another rough one for me. I had trouble getting to sleep. Just layed awake, and talked to Jana - I guess I was a grup to boot. I think I fell asleep about 3:30am, after Jana massaged me for about an hour (thank you again). I prefer to go to bed and sleep around that time, if not a little later - but not when I have to work in the morning. Well, I'm up, and I feel like posting for a couple of minutes before I get ready.
I'm going to work this morning, all bright eyed and bushy taile (okay, not really, but I can lie - it's my blog after all). Today shall be an interesting day, I will be taking care of housekeeping - and I won't have to watch the Front Desk at the same time - enough coverage. Too bad the boss didn't listen to me and give the guy who is coming back today a few days worth of retraining before he started on again.
Yesterday I relized that I'm not skinny, okay, I'm fat (good thing Jana doesn't read). Guess I knew that before, it just never hit me before. Now what am I going to do about it? I guess some exercise and diet is in order - where to start, it all seems kind of daunting. I'll have to give some extra thought to this.
I'm off to get ready for work. Woohoo, extra woo.

Morning

Another early morning. Didn't sleep too well, but I surprisingly don't feel too bad - I'm sure that will change as the day goes on. Jana and I got up, and went to have some breakfast at McD's; too bad the weather is so bad right now - rain and thunder.
Today is the day that I have to go in to make up for that day I called in sick. Lucky me. I don't plan on staying all day - but I must say that I am worried that I will end up being there all day (I know how these things work).
Let's see, I talked to Dustin last night, for the first time in I'm not even sure in how long (isn't IM great?). I will have to talk to him again later.
Note to self, write a quick review of some books that I have read lately - I think that might be a good use for the bandwidth that I'm using. BTW, if you haven't tried the Blogger Beta, you should give it a try, it may be missing a few features, but it's still got some stuff that Blogger was missing.

Mood: Cautiously Optimistic

Oops, I posted this to the wrong blog twice - I must be tired.

Lawn

All right, I mowed the lawn! Everyone happy?!

Difficulty

Well, I had brought my laptop to the bedroom, in hopes of being able to write a bit more on my story. The rather sad truth is, I made one mistake that is preventing me from doing this... I put Fozzy in my lap. Now Fozzy is sound asleep, and I can't focus enough to write. I know that I could just move him, but have you ever seen him sleeping in your lap? It's not as easy as one would think - it's almost like he has some sort of magic that makes those sorts of actions difficult. Maybe he will move shortly... though I doubt it.

What a night

Well, yesterday I ended up calling in sick. I was just too dizzy to even drive to work, let alone be any use to them at all. I ended up sleeping most of the day, and finally got up at 4pm. Since I was feeling a bit better, Jana and I drove to Sonic and got a bite to eat, then it was back home. I stayed up till about 9:30 or so, then went back to bed. I slept great for about an hour, then it was all down hill from there. I just could not get comfortable, and just caught snatches of sleep here and there. Finally about 3am, I went and grabbed my notebook, and started writing out the start (or possibly the middle) of a story. Then it was back to trying to sleep for me... not much luck till just before my alarm clock went off.
Now I'm still dizzy, not as bad as yesterday, and I still have a headache from hell, but now I'm just really tired as well. I will be heading off to work soon.
Jana has been good to me though, she got me some Wal-adryl, and some vitamin C earlier, and even rubbed my back for a bit. Now if she just wasn't so nosy about what I write in my notebook in the middle of the night. ;-)

Long day and other things

Well today was a long day, see the other blog for details. But in case you don't want to do that, here is a quick breakdown.
Worked 13 hours, not enough staff, working in housekeeping, mean people.
There was one more thing, that I want to share about my day - here is what I posted in the other blog:

On a positive note, there was a caterpillar at the hotel that decided to spin it's cocoon on the side of our building - I got a few pics with my phone, I will share them once I figure out how to post them.

Not much else went on today, since I worked all day. It's muggy, and rainy. Jana and I went to Village Inn after I got off work - they were out of her pie (yet again).
At least Jana seems to be feeling better from her pokes - oh and Fozzy just bit her (good boy!). Fozzy is a bit hyper, he's running around chasing a red laser light as I type this. :-) Oh, and chattering at it.

Mood: Tired.

Another day at work

Well today, was another day at work. Can't say that much happened. I wrote a rather long post (long for me) in my other blog, about work, and what I do; it gave me a good way to think things through. Long and short of the post, I'm not happy, and I won't be as long as I'm doing sales. Time to work on the ol' resume. Maybe I'll get lucky and someone will die, freeing up a good position for me (yes, I'm joking).
I haven't felt very well today, bad headache, stomach ache, some shortness of breath (that I attribute to my stomach ache), and feeling hot all day. I'm sure some sleep will do me good.
In the morning I'll tell you the story about how I raced into a burning building to save a little kitten. (Yes, I'm lying.)

Before I go to bed

Hmm, let me see. What to post. How about a bit about me (it's all about me, me, ME). I live with my fiancee (love her to death), my cat (he's so cute, and knows it), I'm a computer geek, and I work at a hotel (not that I'm enjoying that too much right now). I think that about sums it up.
Let's see, what do I like to do:

• Read
• Fiddle around on my computer
• Play with the cat
• Annoy my Fiancee
• Relax

Maybe I'll post a list of what I don't like later.

Now off to bed so that I can work early in the morning. Maybe I'll play on the computer for a couple more minutes though.
