That's my life: July 2003 Archives

no, not the blog, or the server (I hope!) but this is what I've felt like today...
most of the time, when I have nights off, I try to get everything done that's going through my head...update sites, work on committee stuff for the on-line group I'm in, tech support, and we won't even discuss all the calls I get from work :uhoh3...they so don't understand the whole "night off" concept!!
today, I've managed to avoid most of it, normally I look forward to doing all this and catching up...not today...today I'm seriously wondering wtf I'm even sitting here for, and outside of correcting links on the other blogs I host, have managed not to do much of anything (and I'm sorry that took me so long guys!)

I haven't heard from my kids tonight, they're supposed to be down visiting my mom...got into it with the ex last night...won't go into details, but it came down to me telling him I would come over this morning after work to see the kids before they left, he told me "not to bother" and he made damn sure they were gone before that happened :angry
and to top it off, I got my copy of the custody modification papers today...

it's days like today I wish I still drank on a regular basis :drunk
nite all...

I was talking to a dear friend of mine last night/yesterday morning (depending on your point of view *s*) about reasons why people don't post, or comment...
(speaking of which, please take a moment and go make a child's day, and post a comment about his fish *all links open in a new window*)
thank you!! :remybussi
I read allot of blogs, some every day, some weekly, some when the mood strikes...I rarely comment with any regularity on any of them though. why, you might ask? well, same as you I would imagine, not sure of what to say, fear of sounding silly, or just not feeling you know the person well enough to speak up on something.
And honestly, I don't post (often enough it seems to some) for the same reason, nothing to say...perhaps I need to get one of those 'life' things everyone keeps referring to :lol

I hate when I wake up at 3:30am on a night off and feel the need to ramble on about nothing in general...
such as:
when doing a 'clean install', make sure you reset the boot sequence, or you won't be able to delete existing partitions...:errrr
when setting up Internet connection sharing between 2 computers using DSL, be sure you're sharing from the right connection, to the correct card...:brick
sometimes, when thing's aren't working right (totally unrelated to the above) it's not always something you've done! sometimes, it's the server f**king with it...they're not the postal service, they don't care if the mail goes through! :fdup
and after all that's said and done, more often than not you'll have to go in and change things from their 'upgrade' so it works correctly again :angry

speaking of 'upgrades' (we were, weren't we?) I think it's about time for one around here...not sure why...but I'm a bit tired of this look/layout
who knows, I might just 'delete' the whole thing and start over :biggrin
don't worry, I'll back everyone else's blog up first :biglaugha (I can just hear Jet screaming from here)

Well, as my dear friend Jet has pointed out, I've made it back safe and sound, even with the forces of the universe conspiring against me!
For those that want a recap, click below, for those that don't, well, move along now! :lol
It all started when I left work Tues. morning...(**warning, very long!**)
