Glad to be home working today :P

Just as well I was at Roswell on Monday, it means I can hide inside today and work from home on my other project.

Now, just hoping the power stays up!

Mmmm... bacon. Yes, please!

james - 01/30/08 10:11
well, now that I walked the dog and made you your coffee I guess I will trudge through the weather and bring home the bacon.

All Good Things
Category: work

Well, I found out I have a full time contract position for almost twice as much money as I'm making now, not part time like I'd thought in my last post about buying a house.

Good news: I have a new awesome job doing Ruby stuff all day!

Bad news: I am abandoning everyone at Roswell :(

Fixed my insensitivity. If you weren't off sick I woulda remembered...

jim - 01/29/08 16:18
Thanks to you and Paul of course, I should forget.

You guys at Roswell will find some really awesome programmer to replace me, don't worry. You'll end up glad I'm gone :)

And me too you insensitive jerk!

J/K, Good luck man! I'm glad u and Bill found each other. Hopefully the two of u will get rich beyond your wildest dreams.

The American Dream
Category: life

I want to buy a house so freaking bad.

I just found out I am going from 20 hours a week to 30 hours a week for one of my contracts, which is an extra huge chunk of money every month, and so home ownership this year is looking like a great possibility. It also seems like I'll be staying in Buffalo for a few years at least, if James can get a job around here too.

I can't wait to move back closer to or into Allentown. Seriously sick of the Elmwood Village - I miss the grime and dirt!

Grime and Dirt? I think you meant Culture and Class! :) Congrats on the new job!

Excess.
Category: work

Had to stay home to sign for this today.

Now I can have the following windows open and visible all at the same time:

3 terminal windows
- One for autotest
- One for server log
- One for actual CLI work
Firefox
Text Edit
Mail
Chat
Twitter
ITunes

I'm a happy camper.

Jim...

Before you read the rest of this comment I need you to point at your stomach.

Those are them. Those are the gutz I hate....

I was very happy with my crappy 2 CRT monitors for quite a while, but I'm ready for more space on screen and on my desk.

Blast you Jim, blast you all to heck...

james - 01/25/08 14:52
nothing succeeds like excess.

paul - 01/25/08 14:51
Wow, I am totally jealous of that space. Terry, this is what I want.
