  • Things are slowing down and yet they aren't.. can you believe it?

    Work is great first off. Just wanted to get that off my chest ;)

    But when dealing with people or as the boss calls them 'scum sucking
    vermin of the afterlife' (I paraphrased a bit)... in the world of
    computers we as an IT department sometimes have to bare the burnt of
    the people's wrath.

    Now, not to draw attention to the atrocites of World War II, but the
    Germans (who were going through their rebellious phase at the time) did
    some extremely bad things in the name of a vegitarian and a painter,
    Adolph as his friends called him.... 'Sparky' as his wife called him
    and 'Ze big shotz' as his racketball club called him... But the IT
    department and ze Germans of World War II are sometimes considered to
    be one in the same as the people gather to discuss the latest
    crackdowns on computers.

    The reason I bring it up is because the 'Policy' that I may or may not
    of described in a post (if I haven't I'll talk about it later on...)
    has caused the company's employees to determine that 'Yes! Ze IT
    Department is the Gestapho! Un they will ruin our lives with their
    policies!'

    We have recently requisitioned for 4 plates of bulletproof glass be
    added to our windows and the Company has been gracious enough to
    provide us with Flak Jackets with Target... I thought it was from
    Target.... hmmm, must of been a typo. We are still awaiting the glass
    however.

    I had my lawyer look over this document or Policy on Use of
    Technology... it was your standard clauses in it, and nowhere did it
    mention that I was to 'sell my soul' or my 'first born used as a door
    stop' So I signed it. No lightening bolts. No being sucked into hell
    (apparently the boss says I haven't worked with the company long
    enough... *shrugs*)...

    So I go about my day. Eat lunch, listen to music, do my job and I have my first review in about 2 weeks I think....

    Things are going well what can I say.

    Now, onto the more important things.... WoW... yes yes I know I've doddled long enough.

    Acutally, I reached level 60 at 19days, 15mins and 53 seconds and I've
    spent the past 2 days completeing quests and getting loot.  In
    that time, I have also gotten my gold stockpile up to 45g, yes 45g..
    only 900-45g = 855g to go before my epic mount... then I can die in
    peace or go blind.. one of the two...

    But the for past 3 days I've been watching the Stargate SG-1
    DVD's.  They are great I have to admit. Now I've popped in Season
    8 and I'll be all set.

    JJ class is going well. I'm getting ready for my Green belt and I'm
    looking forward to it, however, I think I need to go to the
    chiropractor to get my shoulders, back and wrists realigned. I'll see
    how I feel but they've been pretty sore as of late, especially the
    shoulders... I guess I'm not as young as I used to be.

    Good news is out of all of this, that magicbeanstalk has provided me
    with some motivation. Thanks Numfar, I appreciate it. 

    The jist of what I should be doing is to get off my lazy ass and
    workout... (no, magicbeanstalk didn't say that too me. It's my own kick
    start)

    JJ tomorrow then regular 30min workouts till I drop from 180lbs to
    160lbs at 5'3" tall that's a load of weight... your thoughts would be
    appreciated and recommendations as well :)

    Vx Out,
