on my way back from work, i stopped at walmart and picked me out some new glasses.
-0-0-
i broke mine earlier this month by rolling on them. i went to the eye doctor
this weekend and got a prescription.. i don't usually wear glasses.
i only need them at night when i'm resting my eyes from contacts.

when i walked in..this lady immediately attacked me. she had me try on like 50 pairs
in 1 minute! i felt totally rushed. i hate it when the do that. i ended up picking the first pair she had me try on... she also made me get the new lighter, thinner lenses..
she insisted that even though my glasses are just for rare usage..i still want them
to look nice. hehehe. she tried to get me to buy the new glare free ones..but i resisted.

they should be ready in a week. she says they don't carry my prescription in the store because they're so high. they're not THAT high!

jeremy and i went to cheddars for dinner tonight. i found it to be very uneventful.
first, the queso the waiter brought out was powerdery and chunky. it grossed me out. my salad came out warm!...then my drink tasted like toilet water... don't ask me how i know what toilet water tastes like.. i don't know.
the only thing worth getting there is their famous cookie monster. it's sooo good.
however, i was so turned off by the food that i opted to just pass on the desert.

guess i better go to bed now. this is what happens when i take naps. i end up staying up waaaay to late. oh well.... at least it's a Friday!

Why is it that humans are incapable of understanding existence with full
totality? We limit ourselves to questions with answers. Why can we not
accept that perhaps there are no real questions..i suppose we all seek some
truth to whatever level that may be.

Do we possess the ability to accept our flaw:
that given the chance to exist, we still fail to understand
wait.. no, that's not right.
..given the that we exist, we reject existence as law..as the infinite infrastructure of "being".... yeah....that's better...but what do I know..i'm still questioning...

whew..we barely got the drawings done on time!
well, now that it's done, i gotta go find something productive
to do.

wish i could take a nap.

late as usual... i should be in bed right now.
oh well. i figured i better get some of my internet stuff out of the way now.
i have to go to work early tomorrow.. actually it's more like "SHOULD"...
i played Black and White tonight...it's pretty addicting. i wonder
how long it's allure will last.
...i'm just so tired..

i'm just about done with work. i ended up getting some fun stuff
at the end of the day. calvin and i have to do presentation boards
for a Risky's Barbeque interior redo. I just got done doing
the section/elevation of the bar. We have to render it tomorrow
by 2pm. I should try to get here early.

i'm tracing a site plan right now in autocad.
fun stuff. :)
lunch is in about 40 minutes.
i guess i'm to the point where i've stopped
resisting..and just fallen into drone mode.
at least i have my music and an occasional doodle here
and there on company memo pads. :)

jeremy and i went to the grocery store last night.
i got some blueberry bagels. pretty good.
it's kinda hard and soft. i hate the really hard kind
cuz it hurts my jaw to eat.
i'm ready for the day to end already. :)

cascading on the ice frosted world of different lives..
the lips that dare to possess a bite..
i laugh at the trivial..
i laugh at the surreal...
mixing up the flavor of so many youthful responses...
this gay time for living...
this wrong time for being young...
please remember...if you seek..
you'll only find yourself.

it's odd, no?
the reflection of yourself ...to yourself
and
the reflection of yourself..to anyone else..
i'm staring at 100 images of this girl in front of me..
is she really me? is she simply my shield to this physical world?
is she capable of destroying everything???

my brother and i went to jeremy's grandmother's house today. his family was having a huge crawfish
boil. mmm good. i must admit it's a little cruel
to the food..but it's SOOO good.

i'm so zonked too. we're gonna have some
good thai food tonight. my mom's made some
stuff.

i've been catching up on everyone's lj and
i've found it to be quite amusing.
i think it's hilarious how people's opinions are disected and manipulated..
it's great. that's the beauty of it all..
the ability to let it all rip..
and to anyone who cares to read...

grow...grow..grow

whew. the drive back home was incredibly boring and long. jeremy did all the driving but it was still just as bad. we stopped in Hunstville to
grab a bite to eat. I think we left around 6:30
and didn't get here until 12:40.

when i got home, i stayed up till about 3 talking to my brother and parents.

i woke up around 7:30 today so that my dad and i could take our cars to the dealership to get an oil change. then we went on a million errands.
i finally got a prescription for my glasses (i broke them by rolling on them)...

we then went shopping and i got jeremy some pants that were like 60 bucks for 4 dollas...
good stuff.

anyhow, we're going to my brother's graduation around 5:45... should be a long and sleepy ceremony. :)

i'm gonna take lots of pics for the album.
i think i need a nap now.

hmm..see if this works.



This is a test:
I know
Really?

i'm looking at my webcam and tigger's on the counter again.
he's such a bad boy. he know he's not supposed to be up there!
for some reason he always pops up there right after lunch.

i'm just about ready to leave now. i'm getting to that tired phase.
only 4 or so more hours to go. bum bum.

guess i'll eat my twinkie and get back to work.

on my way to work i stopped at a red light. i looked down and started fiddling my model (half of it had been eaten by my old roomates' cats). Suddenly, I heard a honk and I looked up. There was like an oasis of concrete in front of me! I was so embarrassed.
I hate it when people do that! It must have turned green just as i was looking down.

afterwards, i told myself not to dwell on it.
*F* it!! who cares? i'll pay more attention next time.
i'm NOT going to become one of the "those" types of drivers.
hehe...
i can't spend my whole life striving after "perfection"
just every other day. :)

today i get to go home! 5 hour drive. booty!

wow. i was pretty busy today at work. last week i was dying of boredom..but now that
i'm leaving for home Friday, i've got deadlines up the wazoo. that's my life for ya.

i watched the series finale of star trek voyager. i just love how they threw in the
seven/chakotey relationships like that...that's so prime time!
oh well. it wasn't as exciting as i thought it would be but overall it was one of their better episodes.

jeremy and i have to pack tonight so we can be on our way tomorrow after work.
i'm going to set up my dad's webcam to stream and see how that works.
that's the beauty of going home.. better technology.. :)

i checked to see if my site had been registered yet. it has.
www.zerolife.com
i know it's not that exciting..but for me it's a milestone. i've been
thinking about doing this since i first started my website back in 96 or something.
it'll be nice to have something banner free..and
i can actually mess with my cgi-bin..
woah. :)

in a would-be depressed world, love would be an illegal drug..
and living would be the norm. somehow it's the opposite in this world.
love is the norm and living is illegal.

this world has yet to shake its social restraints. this is a place where it's
not okay to be alone. we wear badges of gender and class. we prophesies
a great global civilization...and yet we fail to see eye to eye with our own neighbors..

this is the futility of being human. this is the flaw of Thought.

working on the graphical interface now.
i'm not sure how everything will come together..guess i'll see.

jeremy bought the second season of sex and the city for me.
i've watched two episodes so far. i still like the first season better.
...but maybe that'll change once i've seen the rest.

i did it. i got a domain name. it'll be registered within 48 to 72 hours.
www.zerolife.com
hehe. i can't believe it wasn't taken.
oh well. i have to work on a REAL graphical interface now.
i'll keep the text based one though.. i actually like it like that.
in a year or two..i'll finally get back my original domain..
mwahahaha...

hmmmph..gotta go to work now.
stupid work...always cutting into my free time.
i guess i shouldn't be compalining though...
only 3 more days...then i get to go home.

well the cable was all right. i guess it was my network connection.
i actually think the ezcam has better picture output than the x10. :)
the ezcam was free too. hehe.
i was looking at the 3comcams at best buy. i guess i'll wait till xmas or something.
i don't think it's worth it to buy anymore webcams when i can't even
stream. oh well.

anyhow, i figured out a domain name.. thank goodness.
i have about 3megs left now.

today was my 100th day of working.
...hehe..100th day of gimping.

gonna go play B&W now.

the morning went by failry fast. i actually ended up with 3 things to do. i'm still trying to do two of them. i've been sleepy though...my eyes
keep drooping. i want to take a nap so bad.
only 3 and a half more days now..then i get to go home!

dunno what happened to one of my webcams.
there's now output...
i have this panging fear that one of the cats
chewed throught the USB cable....
hope not.

Tu Hai was closed when we got there so we went to another place called Mi Lan.
It was really good and cheap. We stopped by Best Buy on the way home and I picked up a USB extension cable. I wanted to be able to have two cams out with the cats
while I'm at work. Jeremy bought the Black and White game. We went shopping afterwards and got lots of good ingredients for some delicious meals.

When we got home, I had to make a stand for the
webcam..i have it facing their eating area now. Jeremy and I played Black and White
for a long time...just about till our eyes got blood shot. :) I'm really tired now.
Jeremy cooked a really good dinner..and that always makes me sleepy.
gonna go get ready for bed now.

woke up around 11am this morning. that's pretty good considering i went to bed around 5am. i think we're going to go to Tu Hai and get some good Vietnamese/Chinese food.
i know we have to do some grocery shopping for this week. ick. we only need enough to last us four days. i'm going home Thursday night so i can make my brother's graduation Friday. he'll be graduating as 5th in his class. that's pretty good. i think i barely made the top twenty.

i'm not sure if we'll venture to six flags today or not. maybe we'll just stop by and ride a ride or two...we've got season passes.

my weekend is almost over! nOOOOO! MUST maximize!

today has been a very long one. i woke up at 7:20am! i usually don't start my weekends till noon or one! I don't know what's wrong with me. I watched tv till 9 and then woke Jeremy up. He was like "what's going on?" "what time is it?" "you're crazy!"
hehe. we watched a bit of tv first and then got ready to go the park. he packed some chips and a drink. we went to arby's to get our sammiches. I got one of their new Market Fresh Deli sandwiches. we stopped by the new tom thumb gas station (the one my webcam faces all day). they're offering a special on the weekends. 15cents off gas with your tom thumb card. it brought the total to about 1.48 per gallon. that's good!

when we got to Bear Creek we found a picnic table and had our lunch. it was really nice. i thought it would be a lot hotter but the breeze was pretty nice. we then fed my leftover bread to the fish and turtles in the creek. i don't usually like outdoor activities but i thought the adventure was pretty fun. i forgot to bring my digital cam!!! perfect picture opporunities missed!

we also went to the movies and saw shrek. we made the mistake of going at 3pm. there were little kids all over and they were quite annoying. i think we decided this was the last time we'd go during "kids hour"...

outside the theater they had a little tent set up with baby tigers! i thought it was kind of interesting to see these wild creatures in the middle of a concrete oasis. :)
cute though.

i'm going to go catch up on my internet stuff now.

well i hardly had any work today. I spent most of the day talking to co-workers. that's what i miss about college life..the interaction with new people. people are my hobby, you know! jeremy and i met up outside his work on my way home and we stopped by jamba juice. I had two free coupons for a 24 oz drink..so i got strawberries wild and he got banana bliss. mm... slurp.
i think i'm gonna go chill out now. it's the weekend!

I woke up this morning with one sock missing.. AGAIN. I also realized I had all of the blankets coiled around me...extremely constraining. I straightened out the blankets and then put them on Jerms. I looked at the clock and it read 6:45am. I thought to myself, "I'll just wake up early and see about leaving work early as well."
I fed the kitties and took a shower. However, once I actually had my contacts in, I realized it was really 5:4am when I woke up! Oh well. I finally got a chance to get to the dry cleaners before work. :)
Jeremy's got one of his computers back up so that means I should be able to see my kitties today. yeah!.. sure wish streaming would work though. :(

psst..give me food. I'm already hungry!

great. we can get the kitty cam to stream but only for two minutes. after that, the whole dsl connection crashes. stupid router. or stupid swbell. it's such a bummer.
when i had cable modem, i had no problems with streaming. i'm going to try and up the rate of upload.. maybe from 30 to 15. let's see if it can AT LEAST handle that.

ouch. I've been cutting crescent board all morning. I finsihed one layout and then realised that I did the spacing wrong! I think I'm almost ready to mount all the pictures now.

I've been playing with the truetech software. I really want to get streaming on my site. I couldn't get it to work last night. It's the dang router. Jeremy said he'd try and tinker with it tonight. He doesn't remember who he put outside the firewall.

Also, I've been trying to figure out what domain I should use. I registered alachia.com with namezero (BIG MISTAKE) earlier this year and so they now own that name until 2002. I was thinking of alachiaworld.com, alachiago.com, realmalachia.com...but I don't know. My experience with domain names is that if it's not simple..people won't remember it. Maybe I should just change my handle. :)

morning just doesn't get any easier. i'm off to run my errand to Hobby Lobby and pick up some presentation boards for work. I keep trying to call the office to let Sheila know I'm going to be a little late with this. OH well. I don't think anyone will miss me.

Work has been scarce. I had to beg for work today. I actually ended up doing something pretty fun. I'm setting up a presentation board for a few of my co-workers. I was supposed to buy museum board today after work. I didn't go till 9pm though and the store was already closed. I'll have to go tomorrow morning before work. I wish they would let me do it all in photoshop...but they don't want a totally produced feel to the presentation. They want to do it OLD school. Oh well. Hopefully it'll look good.

Today we celebrated the Administrative Assistant's birthday. It's not really till tomorrow but we had the party today. I got chocolate cake. Hooray! This next month we have a birthday once every week. It should be interesting to see what they do. They might combine all of them or they might actually do it individually. I hope they do them one by one... hehehe. more parties.

i'm still appalled by the fact that we don't sing Happy Birthday at least. Oh well. I guess it's less embarrassment or something.

I was surfing the Internet for webcams and came across a live stream of a girl's dog.
I was really impressed. I e-mailed her and asked her how she was doing it since she was using DSL. She e-mailed me back with a few details. I hope to test it out when I'm not so tired. Yeah for live streaming pet cams!

Okie doke. I took care of my email business. I think I'm going to see about adding more pics to my album. i doubt I'll finish tonight. I'm so tired. I still want to pop in the beetle juice dvd. oh well. i'll wait till i'm REALLY tired. hehe.

you know, while i'm at work i always sneak a peek at my cats. I wish there was a better way to position the camera. I sware.. while i'm at work those cats avoid the spots where the camera is pointed to..but as soon as I get home..they're always in front of it!
sillies!

tonight we went out to eat at Tony's Pizza and Pasta. The owner served us and everything. It was weird. I'm so used to chain resteraunts. The guy actually shook Jeremy's hand and thanked him for bringing me there (Jeremys' been there with his co-workers for lunch). we went grocery shopping afterwards. I bought more socks. hehe. I also bought the movie Beetle Juice. I love that movie. I want to watch it tonight but I know i'd suffer tomorrow morning...FOR SURE.
Well, I have lots of email to catch up on... guess I better go do that.

I just woke up. I'm really groggy. I don't think I'm going to get any of those thing I wanted to do accomplished tonight. I'll probably just drink some H20 and go to sleep again. Oh well. At least I'll be well rested right?

Goodness. I'm so sleepy. I had a really hard time waking up this morning. Work went okay today. I had massive amounts of redlines so I was busy. I finished a lot sooner than i thought I would though. :) Do I get a happy face sticker or what?
I need to go grocery shopping tonight.
LIST: Food for Dessy, Milk, Juice, Bread, and whatever else I see that's good.

I think I'm going to take a nap first though.
Tonight I plan on figuring out how to hook up more than one cam in the living room.

i took off live journal from my work pc cuz we're going to be upgrading computers soon... not even sure if I'm supposed to have misc software.hehe.
anyhoo...i'll have to update my journal via web until i get my new computer..

well..my trip to Austin was okay. I didn't find anything worth buying. It was all trash and super expensive. We might just have to get a one bedroom apt and share.

I met up with an old friend there. He's changed quite a bit. He's into a new crowd. They all seem to be high-rollers and extremely artificial. He took us out to Sixth Street to two bars. I left soon after-wards because the whole scene was lame. I don't understand why you would pay 5 bucks for a little thing of alchy and then just stand around smiling and nodding. The music was way too loud for a place where no one was dancing... Maybe I'm not seeing something. If he had taken us to a place where I could have danced..that would have been okay for me....the bar thing just doesn't do it for me.

Sure they say "to each his own"..but what if that "own" is a product of a person's inability to develop beyond his or her miniscule comprehension?? I am truly beginning to believe that very few people can see existence on a macro-level. You are the box you have enclosed yourself in.... I often feel like I am experiencing the world alone.

wow. i'm testing out running my kitty cam and ezcam while at work today. It should be fun. Hopefully, there will be enough light. I put my ezcam facing outside my window and now i can see cars... Before, i couldn't even see past the apartment lawn.
I think I didn't have it focussed right. The wireless cam is pretty good but you have to have adequate lighting..otherwise it's all dark and fuzzy. That proves to be a problem at night for me because our apartments don't have overhead lighting in the living room.
se la vi.. :)

We went out to eat at this place called Red White and Blue. I had sausage and brisket. mmm.. Jeremy had ribs. Afterwards, we went to Super Target and I got the soundtrack to Moulin Rouge, some sunkist, more undy-wears, a little sachel, and some shaving cream. We were going to rent a movie but it's too late now. i'm not sure if there's anything all that great in stores anyhow.

This weekend, we're going to Austin to meet with a realtor. Hopefully she'll be able to help us out. I'm hoping ot find something for less than 50K...but fat chance right?
I don't even have a limit to work with!

I'm going to meet some friends while I'm up there and we'll prolly do the dinner/movie thing. I def. want to go eat at this place called Salt Lick..all you can eat barbeque...
mmm-mmm-licious... AND canoing...hope i get to do that too..

hehe..i still haven't gotten any official papers about grad school yet. I HOPE they come in soon!

oh boy, finding a cheap house in Austin has proven to be extremely complicated. I'm going to have to get a realtor for sure. i'v already submitted my case to several people online (i'm too chicken to call). Hopefully, I'll get a reponse soon. I'm trying to find a townhouse for less than 100K.. actually way less than that. I'm actually hoping for around 60K.. I'm not at all familiar with the area or housing value though.. so bum bum on me.

I'm going to Austin this weekend to have a look around. I'm not sure how productive it will be.

When I woke up this morning I thought it was the weekend. I actually kept telling myself I could sleep in today. Crazy. That would have been bad. Right now I'm trying to keep my eyes open. I have to go to work now.... SIGH....

oh boy. i've been searching for hours on the internet for houses in the austin area.
actually, what my brother and I are looking for is something like a town house.
we're wanting to buy and then sell.. that way our parents can get some mulla back.
it's been impossible. i've already filled out a couple of realtor forms.. i'm hoping i get a call tomorrow. we're wanting to go look at some houses this Saturday. FAT CHANCE!
we have this one area picked out. A friend of ours lived there previously and it was very nice.. and not too far from campus... we'll have to see..

we presented to the clients today. it was crazy. My team was completely floored by their proposals.. basically the very OPPOSTITE of what we thought was proper for this project. First of all, this is an AIDS hospice. All they cared about was getting retail space. NOT ONCE did they mention the needs of the people living there. They want to put this strip mall in the middle of a small low-income neighborhood. They want a freaking amusement park.. it's ridiculous. I don't know WHAT they were thinking. Anyhow, it's back to the drawing board.. unless we can convince these people to put their brains back on....

okay, we didn't present today to clients. We did a presentation for the boss though. He wants us to get things together and mount them on foam core. We'll present tomorrow at 2pm. I went into photo shop and worked on a layout. It was fun and made the day go a whole lot faster. All together, we have about 3 different designs to show him. I hope my team gets picked. hehe.. nothing like healthy competition....

the wireless cam usb connection came in. i'm trying to set it up now! woohoo.

help. i'm so sleepy. I think we're supposed to go present to clients soon. I'm working on another walmart job. I'm doing red lines. oohooo.
supa fun! I want to go home and take a nap so bad.

For lunch today: microwave ravioli, chips, bread, sunkist, and a twinkie.

omg, i just checked my status for grad school online. it said:
we are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to the University of Texas at Austin.

AAAHH! I'm so excited. That's like a hard copy! It's THIS much closer to being official! I need to dance! JUMP JUMP!

jeremy and i didn't go to bed until around 4am... he had to be up by 7...
ouch. I was realy feeling it. I think I'll try to go to bed around 11 tonight. We'll see how that works.. I'm doubtful it will. I'm at work right now munching on some golden gramm cereal and sunkist.
no, i did not mix them :)
i can already tell today is going to be a long day.

I haven't started my mass modeling yet for the Samaritan House. Oops. I guess I better get started. Looks like it's going to be a late night for me. I'm such a procrastinator...

Just got back from watching The Mummy Returns. I didn't think it was as good as the first. The plot was a little off key but over all it was just a fun little adventure. The cg was good as well. I didn't see any good previews except Final Fantasy. I actually had a friend say "wow, it looks real but animated".. I was like ..."it's CG". Some people are really out of the computer world. I know a lot of people at my work who are extremely retro. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing.

I have to buy my brother a birthday present. I'm thinking of getting him a usb hard drive.
I'm going to see if I can order it online.

I'm actually going to venture outside of the apt today. :)
Jeremy is going to be taking some oracle classes this week and he wants to find the building today so he won't have any troubles tomorrow. We've also got some grocery shopping to do and will probably go and see The Mummy Returns while we're out..
It's showing on three screens! 75 foot screen here we come!

oyee.. slept most of the day away. I finally watched Macross II the movie tonight.
It was okay. I thought the animation was nice but the plot was lacking. The battle scenes were pretty confusing too and quite repetitive. Oh well. I've only seen a few good anime movies (in totality). Most of the good anime are series..unfortunately I don't have the capital to go out and buy a whole series set. ...back in the day, I used to enjoy anime by reading plots on webpages and viewing pics. hehehe. It's actually better that way in some cases ..ie. Sailor Moon and Record of Lodoss War.
Anyhow, I think I'm going to play on my computer some more. It's already 3am..but I'm not tired yet.

i had a dream last night that this HUGE tornado came through. I was in some sort of carnival. Everyone seemed to be having fun and enjoying themselves. I looked up and saw this huge grey swirl coming at us. Suddenly everyone was screaming and running. I ran to the closest apartment complex I could find and hid in some storage area. After everything was over I went to see how my parents were. For some reason, they were staying at that apartment. My mom and dad were underneath the bed and my brother was underneath a table. There was glass everywhere! I remember feeling the wind gooooooshing. It was really scray.

Last night, the wind was so strong (or a tornado came through) and blew through the town of arlington. The news said some house got its roof torn off.

The sky is still dark today... it might rain again tonight.

dangit all.
i was eating chilli for lunch and playing on my computer. I just dropped some chili on my shirt! I'm so messy.

Well, the "Samaritan House Project" was pretty boring. We went over some design schemes. No one really listened to what I had to say. Oh well. I guess it doesn't matter. This project doesn't interest me anymore. I thought it was going to be about designing housing. Unfortunately, it's about placement and master planning. I like those things, yes. However, I'm just not in the mood to get into that stuff now. I want some hardcore design work. bum bum.

I'm going to try and finish my chilli now. I hope I don't spill anymore.

iee... yikes.. it's raining crazy here.
tornado warning just popped up tv!
where's the best place to hide?
in the bathtub? I never lived in a tornado zone before.
it's very scary.

i have a really hard time getting myself to write seriously in this live journal. I'm so used to my "thoughts page"...
It's like ..this is the place to spew out daily routines and on the spot spaz attacks..
hehe.. oh well, it's really nice to be able to express myself 24/7 at a click of a button. it's amazing really.. I have to give it up to Brad...and he's still in school!

I'm drinking blue juice again. I have to go to work tomorrow to work on the volunteer Samaritan House design. We're going to present to the clients on Monday. Sigh..
my weekend... oh well. it's worth it, right? I probably won't even get to see the fruits of my labor.

Friday! woo hooooo!

the brought back the leftover chines food from wednesday.
i ventured and ate some...
ack..eek..am i gonna get food poisoning now??

*thump*

I finally got my appetite back. Jeremy made me watch Survivor. I kept telling him I could care less who wins. Those reality tv shows are so annoying. After watching the show though, I was secretly rooting for the woman. I knew the guy deserved it more but I had to back my sista' up! :)
I think if they want to make a REAL reality show about surviving, they should get 16 people and dump them there... last one not eaten by the other tribal members gets to go back home. :)

hehe.. okay.. guess that wouldn't fly.

we ate at Frijoles' It was a new mexican restaurant that opened up down the street. I liked their salsa but overall i didn't like the new place. The whole atmosphere sucked. The waitress was kind of aloof too.

I'm sleepy now. I don't know why. I guess it's been an emotional day.
My olser went down this morning but it's still hurting like mad. I think it'll subside even more by tomorrow morning... I HOPE!

gonna go chill out now

p.s. the whole saga can be found on www.geocities.com/alachia9
if i had a paid account, i'd have one of those tabs on the side or something with my homepage.. until then..i'll just keep giving my site plugs.. hehehe...

I'm a little calmer now. work as has been extremely uneventful.
there wasn't much i could do. I finished everything i needed to do in less than an hour. :(

then i have jerks who come up to me and say "why are you just sitting around?"

hello? i've asked EVERYONE in the office if there was ANYTHING i could do... plus, the office has been really slow these past few weeks. All the head hancho sit around just playing on the internet. They don't even try to hide it because no one can say anything.

I check my email and a few sites every now and then..but it takes me less than five minutes. I don't spend hours and hours just doing nothing...
What's worse is that this guy who commented has this reputation for NEVER doing any work and just going around the office and chatting to anyone who will listen...errr..actually anyone who has an ear.

ick. this is the sort of elitism i hate about this place.
yuck.. who the heck do they think they are...

didn't eat lunch today...
was too nervous and figity...
eek.
things seem to be going okay.
once again.. i'm waiting..

come to my realm

fingers tapping...
tap tap tap tap tap
i'm juggling the balls in the air right now.
the largest one is seurely in my pocket now though. :)
yeah!

J went to the store today during lunch and got me some oralbe medicine stuff for my olsers. I tried it this afternoon but it hurt so much i could only put one dot on... it helped the pain.. but i can't bring myself to put it on again..

Dessy was really cute today. she was in the bathroom after i finished showering.. and she was welping for attention. As I was drying off she got on the toilet seat (the lid was down) and tried to do her roll on her back thing.. unfortunately there wasn't enough room on the seat and she fell off!!! i wish i could get a .wav file of her whine. it's the cutest.

I'm listening to music on Jeremy's head phones right now. We bought these full ear headphones for his computer. I was getting stressed out listening to him play on his puter.. i like to play games too but it was too much.. my mp3s, the tv, and gaming..
plus he was playing an RPG.. so I had to hear him DIE over and over again. :)
Now he's watching tv and I'm listening to music. I usually use those ones that plug into your ears.. It's really weird. The sound quality is a lot better and all other sound is practically blocked out! I'm in my own little world.

I'm drinking blue juice... more gatorade fierce grape. mmm.
I'm trying to contemplate what's going to happen to me....
I'm wondering what my options are...
I know most of the things I worry about carry little significance in the order
of our humanity...but I still stress big time. :)
You may call me a heart attack on a plate...

Jeremy got his new computer in today. He's setting it up right now.
We'll have a spare computer after that. Coolio.. Wish I could use it as a server to run my webpage. Unfortunately, the connection line would cost me a fortune. I'm not big on charging people to view your webpage either.. It seems anti-internet. BUT hey.. some people gotta pay bills.

Hmm. I wonder what I'll have to eat today. I'm quite hungry already.
Speaking of FOOD. At the luncheon today we had Empress of China food at work. It was good. There was soooo much too. Also, at my firm we celebrate EVERYBODY's birthday. One of the girls who works at home (she's gotta tiny tot) had a birthday yesterday but couldn't come in till today. We had two cakes. One of the cakes was a snickers cake! mmm.. The other had ENORMOUS strawberry's on top of it. Needless to say, it was a good food day at work.

dangit.. now i'm REALLY hungry

still no word yet.
aaah...
drivng me crazy!

am i?
or am i not?
will i?
or will i not?
please.. i need the answer today!!!!

I woke up a little early today because my olser was killing me. I took a shower and got dressed...fed the kitties.. and packed a "quasi" lunch. We're supposed to have a luncheon today to celebrate National Secretaries Day..which was last week...
I'm not sure what a "luncheon" entails.. I'm assuming that we're either going to go out and eat or the company is going to bring some sort of lunch to us.. Just in case, I brought a microwave lunch. If things work out, I'll just bring the food back home.
I'm still at home right now. I don't want to go to work. I should be leaving for work in about 5 minutes. :(
I need to go out and do something fun. The internet is not as exciting as it was 8 years ago... THOSE were the days.. back when everything wasn't corporate or had a monthly fee... oh well, I guess as technology homes in on what it is you want, you start having to pay the toll.

mmm...connect the dots.. la la la la...

uuuh.. depressive state again. it's almost as if the world has
suddenly become empty. i'm waiting for something to jump start me
again. i don't know why i'm even waiting..
life is no ordinary fool..... it is my arch nemesis..

and so we meet again...

uh... yeah..
dancing.. singing.. to marvin gaye..
i'm trying to de-stress myself big time.
i had a dilemma today that has got my olser
panging even more! but not gonna think about that right
now.... "ain't no mountain high enough.....oooh!"
*shake* *shake* *shake*

i'm really feeling it right now. ever seen Fight Club?

I am Alachia's drooping eyes.
I am Alachia's sore and throbbing mouth.
I am Alachia's lack of interest in work.

:)

you are not special.

i'm a soda pop queen and a junk food king. :)
just had lunch. spent most of it playing around on the internet.
i was looking at the Simpsons site. This is their 12th season...
the actors/actresses of the show are making 100,000 an episode with
approx 22 eps. per season! aaaayeeyayaya!
jeez.. maybe i should go into the cartoon business.

lunch was pretty good. i got pb&j cookies for desert.
mmmm...

i'm ready to go home now! my olser really hurts.

i had a messed up dream last night. i used to get weird dreams every night my freshman and sophomore year of college. They're usually about me running from something that's trying to kill or hurt me. I was running in the belly of a monster. He inserted me there after he was transformed into one... i think a monster insect bit him...
funny though, after running in a hellish looking environment, i started running in the a&m architecture department ...going to each room trying to get help from people. They kept giving me the whole red tape run around and passing me onto someone else.
Hmm...does this mean the A&M Arch Depts beauracracy = demonic hell???

hehehe
