I'm not a very confrontational person so when my job becomes going into the computer lab to try to keep people quiet or what not... i'm not very happy.

so anyhow, there are like 5-6 obnoxious people in here, which begs the question...

why do black people talk so loud? i mean, not all of them do. but alot of them its as if they think they need to yell when they talk to be heard.

I don't want to be too much of an asshole and just restart or shutdown their computers, and i dont see who is complaining since nobody in here is doing anything aside from myspace and watching videos.

i think i'm just going to disable the sound driver on all of the computers next time i get a chance.

I'm out of clean clothes today and my only clean shirt is one I was given for Christmas with Che Guevara on it.

I mean I know Austin is a Liberal city, but I really don't wanna be "that guy".

Jeez...

Wear it proudly knowing that you'll at least appeal to a particular crowd.

Flip the shirt inside out so it's just solid black.

Here is my whining for the upcomming week.

I have this random lung problem and some random virus so I'm staying IN BED for the week. Wich sucks becuse that means I will post totally random on Gotwoot Forums and play Flash games on a nothing-capable-of-doing-anything-laptop.

I finally get the time to organize my iPod. Indi music to Deathmetal. Maahhahaha// High Fever Ranting!

**Death BOO Z** · Sat, 02-09-2008, 08:00 PM

well, at least your Ipod still lives, mine (Iaudio 30BG) died during a black out in the base, and it's out of warrenty.
but still, get better soon.

I feel so dumb.. i was supposed to be a vaction this week, but it's been canceled so I would go to some stupid convention as a representative for my unit. I thought it would be a nine to five thing, So I left my stuff locked back in the base. in short, now all the things I need to sleep out are in the army base (shaving machine, cloths, blanket, ete ect) and I have to search all around home for another set of everything. it's like my startegy of travelling light (using the army laundary service, keeping a spare set of sandels in my locker) is backfiring at me...

still, I hope it'll be intersting.

on the better side of Life, It's possible that I've done the last guard post duty last week, no more watching the gate!

I'm still using a 20gb 4th Gen Ipod.

But the good thing is that it stays in my car most of the time.

**Chiodos** · Sun, 02-10-2008, 09:16 AM

I find my iPod ingcredible but I still hate-love it.

It has been stomped, fallen from a high place, driven over a car and hammered with a hammer. It has also taken a bath with me.

It's amazing that it's still alive. Maybe we were meant together, my pink iPod and I <3..

Roads were quite icy.
Even slow, it seems I was
traveling too fast.

Now, my car is broke.
plastic scattered on the roads
Injury? My pride.

***complich8*** · Wed, 02-13-2008, 11:30 AM

so, a couple weeks ago, the department of energy cut back the budget of the project a bit. As part of the process of adjusting to the new, smaller budget, my managers decided not to transition my contract to a full-time position.

So for the last week I've been jobless, and considering my options and my future.

Today I'm going to an interview that's about 10 minutes further away than my old job. Just based on that fact alone, I don't think I really want the position. Seems like being where I am, it's hard to find people who want the sort of sysadmin that I want to be.

I'm a bit ... troubled, because I'm 27 and I don't yet know what I want to do with my life.

Update: I'm not going to that interview today, because the nearly a mile I have to walk up and down various hills is covered in a fine layer of ice with a layer of water on top of it. I'm usually pretty surefooted, but I fell twice between my front door and the end of the sidewalk (which is about 10 feet). Landed well both times, but .... not good at all...

**itadakimasu** · Wed, 02-13-2008, 01:02 PM

complic... sucks. if you are the database pimp, you can surely get plenty of interview ops, most of the job listings i go through want sql + vb, and i'm finding it a little weird that job postings for positions like 'entry level junior administrator' then go on to say they want a bachelors degree and what not...

anyhow... its tax time, and again i'm getting nothing back. i dont know the dynamics of it but only a little more than half of my income shows up as taxable and then the amount of taxes i should have paid this year is about twice as much as the amount i did pay, so i have to round up some book receipts and what not today to get tax credit to cover the gap.

***Assertn*** · Wed, 02-13-2008, 01:30 PM

Getting nothing back is better than getting something back.....

Nice Haiku

**XanBcoo** · Wed, 02-13-2008, 08:32 PM

I'm considering posting this on my upstairs neighbor's door. 3 times last week and then this morning at 10 a.m. What the heck?

Also Ryllharu:

Two ice-injuries
the same day, coincidence?
You hit complich8

How do you know they're having sex? This guy told me a really similar story a while back about how the people above him kept making "noises" all too often. It turned out the girl was just doing jumping jacks.

True story.

I didn't want to jump to conclusions but it's happened enough times for me to figure it out. My walls (and ceiling) are paper thin and it's more than obvious what's going on.

**Abdula** · Wed, 02-13-2008, 09:58 PM

Well I had the same problem but I knew they were having sex because their place was right across from me with adjacent windows no less and the bastards didn't even bother to close the blinds. Anyway they got kicked out after about two weeks.

**Board of Command** · Wed, 02-13-2008, 10:00 PM

Too much sexy time?

Maybe they're doing jumping jacks while watching porn with the sound turned all the way up. It helps to get the blood flowing.

They had this test online where you had to identify if the sounds were of sex or a weight-lifting workout. It really was difficult to tell the difference in most of the sound clips.

What dorm or apartment are you living at?

**XanBcoo** · Thu, 02-14-2008, 12:55 AM

Well now, despite my own observations, I think you guys have made it clear enough that the guy's up there lifting weights while his girlfriend does jumping jacks with porn turned up way too loud. They also apparently do all of these things on their bed.

Also Animeniax, I live off of East Riverside, on Crossing Place. It's a really good place otherwise.
