  I have been doing well at work. At least I think so, but today i screwed up. Nothing big, just I didn't fix a "change and print" negative. I had been very good about that before, better than I used to be. So it wasn't pleasent being Sam for about 30 minutes. I am way to hard on myself and way to hard on others. I know that and that is one of my (many) faults. Yeah I am a perfectionist, when it comes to work, too bad I don't carry that trait into the rest of my life. Although if I did that I wouldn't have ANY friends and my family would have slit my throat a long time ago. I am working with a pretty good team, especially the CSR's that are new. We have a good art department (which I am proud to be one of), but its the little shit that drives me nuts. This may not make sense but I don't understand how people can do crap and think its great. Or be told over and over to do something one way and then still not do it.
Today i ran Ad-aware on the Internet PC at work and discovered that it had the 'mydoom' worm on it...needless to say I cleaned it off and the perfomance has improved greatly (well, duh!). Too bad were not running a firewall on anything connected to the net, it might cost us 60 bucks a year(!!! )...I should just ask for a raise for cleaning that shit up and tell the Head Honcho to get an IT person. I also upgraded to OSX 10.8.2 and it seems to work better on my G4 box. Not a big fan of Linux/Unix but then again my XP pro box at home has serious issues with freezing in gameplay that I can't figure out. The games just stop and lock up the box. I am updated on windows so maybe its just that I bought a PNY 128mb video card. I havent heard great stuff from people about "pony'" stuff. Or maybe the audio (onboard) is fucking it up.
Just frustrating to buy software and then it shits on you. Maybe I should buy more books about this... So enough of my work...play! play! PLAY! I have to give back Danielle's car this weekend. So I will be on the bus again or just riding my new (hopefully) mountain bike to work. Depends how hot it gets here. Was 107 yesterday, and i think it 'cooled' down to 104 today. Anyway, I have been looking at new stuff and today i just got $30 back from performancebike.com.
So if I add that with the $10 I recieved before, thats 40 bucks to upgrade (tires and tubes). I will insist on cages and water bottles as free though. If I drop a few on a bike the least they can do is make it complete. Wow, all those words and really not much to say. Thank you for your patience, The 116 lb Mick.Geek.Dork.Sam
