    Today I learned that playing too much Metal Gear Solid online isn't necessarily good for you, and if doing so on the PSP, doubly so.

    Also: using the PSP is even more challenging and fun...not to mention painful.

    Today I learned that I'm going to have to bust my ass after finals to get the server moves that need to be worked out worked out and get a static-routed vpn up and running so I can put my users in useful places when they remodel my lab. My deadline for moving the rack out of my lab (and thus for moving the servers that need to move out of the rack) is Wednesday or so of next week. I was hoping for another 2 weeks or so to write good firewall and routing rules, get agreements negotiated and control of the servers that are going transferred over, and generally make sense of things.

    So I've got a week to do what I wanted 3 weeks to do. And until I spend half of that time in meetings, I won't have any idea how to proceed. Feck.

    Today I learned that the rudimentary sewing skills I learned when I was 12 during home economics classes are enough to fix the knees of my jeans. Two more pairs I don't have to replace for a couple months.

    Like a lot of thing you can learn that don't seem useful at the time you learn them, being able to sew (albeit not that competently) helps out a lot more than you think.

    Today I learned that this is the first post I've made since May. This would be more interesting if I had some witty remark, but alas no.

    Today I learned not to be lenient when people openly bash you. Also I learned that I didn't fail last grade.

    Sweet, time to file for worker's comp!


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    I don't get it...I'm still considered a "temporary employee". Basically, they work you part tiem hours without giving you any of the benefits.

    You should borrow company office consumables for compensation. Really it's your own fault for poor lifting technique.

    Yeah, I usually lift all of the packages correctly except I was really pissed off today about working so I just threw it on the table.

    Hahaha, I thought you meant you didn't understand, like you figured I was making a joke (which I was).

    Ok, MOM, we get it, we'll be more careful.

    Just kidding, I love it when girls act like your mom and warn you not to do stuff. It's endearing, and I feel that way even though I don't even have a mommy complex.
