This snip from an IM conversation I had should show how the overwhelming amount of stress and lack of sleep is catching up to me, and keep in mind while reading this I am usually very good with money.
M1TREMOUSE (3:47:46 PM): man I know all this stress is getting to me
M1TREMOUSE (3:47:53 PM): I decided to finally balance my check book
M1TREMOUSE (3:48:29 PM): after writing a huge stack of bills I had a mental understanding that I was about even or would have to put like $100 in the bank to keep from bouncing one of the bills…..
M1TREMOUSE (3:48:50 PM): turns out, after all is said and done I still had $600 left over,lol

I am very sad, it’s looking like I may have to get rid of my puppy, she is our second dog, a 7 month old beagal. Cute as a button, but two dogs is getting to be a bit much time wise and money wise. “the wife” has been fighting with me because it’s been overwhelming her while I have been at work. Anyway it’s not an easy choice because I am very attached to both of my dogs, hell i even have pictures of them at work. So I know what the best thing to do ,I just don’t know if I have the heart to do it, it really does break my heart 🙁
This is a pic the first week I brought her home 🙂

so i took my little brother to go see Dawn of the Dead, the move is still just as good the second time 🙂 There were some young kids, proably like 18-20 in front of us, I had to tell them th stay through the credits, half the the theater left before the sequence during the credits starts, a shame, because you think everything is fine if you leave the movie then, I hope everyone who saw it remembered to stay all the way thru to see the actual ending not the “almost ending” with them sailing away in the boat.

Looks like Monty Python’s ‘Life of Brian’ will be re-released in US theaters next month. The Film’s Distributor, Rainbow Film Company are marketing the film as an alternative to all the hype that Mel Gibson’s film ‘The Passion of the Christ’ has generated.
If you haven’t seen this movie it’s pretty funny 🙂

I have one one word for this movie — ” WOW”
One of the most suspenseful horror / supernatural movie I have seen since ‘The Ring’
I HIGHLY recommend going to see it in the theatre for the full effect. My heart was racing even 10 mins after I left the theatre and I kept looking around while driving home to make sure nothing was coming towards me, it’s THAT good.

woo hoo, it’s Friday! Haven’t updated in a few days,mainly because nothing note-worthy has happened to me. This weekend I am wrapping up the end of the quarter, and finals will be finally over. I am taking next quarter off to handle the things going on at home, unless Nova is offering any CAD classes, because I am only 2 classes from getting my CAD certification. But yeah that’s about it 🙂

well yesterday I went in for that BIG job interview. I got wind today they may have been fakin the funk..well not really ,it is more a combo of them not being able to afford me and the catch 22 of government contracting.
I am going on 12 years exp in the IT work, as of April. So they assumed I had a college degree..well they were wrong. Though I have been working slowly but surely on it since 96,lol. In the computer world I have never had to worry about not having a degree since they payed me for my ‘skillz’. So that cause a minor snafu when they were trying to figure out what to offer and noticed my degree said “in progress” on my resume,lol. I think they are going offer about 10k more then I make now instead of the initial 20k, but it’s not worth it. After taxes its only like 8k a year then throw in a completly different work environment (I work at a reasearch facility,so there is tons of free exchange of info to learn about like seminars of nanotech, robotics, AI, infosec , not too mention even the dept head wears jeans to work everyday. Where as I’d be going to a consulting firm with more stress, 2x as much work, mind you still cool stuff to work on, but I don’t think it’d be an even trade. I am happy where I am at, and with a high school degree and a few yrs of college earn more then many of my friends parents, so I should be gratefull and not so quick to try to get back to six figures again, as lnog as I do it by 30 I can still afford my lake house in Austin,lol

For the people who don’t already know and what makes this so funny is that I do work for Nykon Systems, BUT here’s the kicker. I own the company,lol and the servers sit about 10 feet away from me right now as I post this in LJ. So either it is an attempt to give me a virus..or my computer is now trying to manage itself,lol..though it that were the case “support” probably would have complained about the downloaded porn too,lol.
