This really *is* the best of all possible worlds!

[Lucinda]

Ha, I'm sitting here at... *glances at clock* about 2:30am, and I figure, since we have a "Complain About Anything" thread, there should also be a "Yay! Something Good Happened!" thread. So...yeah, make with the happy!

I guess I'll start: So, today is...well, technically it's Tuesday, during the last week of the semester, which means that in about two days, I shall complete all of my work, and will be able to go home and be with my family! I feel sorry for my friends, many of whom are stressing out to the point of tears (I never really know what to do when someone cries..), and I can't really tell them about my great mood because then I'll either a) get bitched at or b) be seen as a bitch. But I can't help it if I'm handling the "stress" of school work differently! I'm a very chill person, and it's hard to get me legitimately riled up... What else can I do? So, I figure, I'll tell y'all about how things have been going well, in the hopes of not being a bitch...

So, yeah, if you've had any really good points of today, or this week, let us know! It's good to vent every so often, but I hold that it's just as good to share the good. *nods sagely* After all, there must be a balance...

The bad, I'm on layoffs from work. I hate unemployment. The good, I get to see my kids alot more. I work afternoons. My oldest is in school, so I usually don't get to see him til the weekends. I see my youngest during the mornings when I work. I usually don't get to see my wife til the weekends. I'm jonesing by then. It's all good.

My new rig is in the shop being put together right now. I said to hell with it and financed me a $2500 system through Dell. She's going to be sick. Core 2 Duo 3.16 ghz as her heart, with 3gb ddr3 and a 750 gb SATA drive. But the pride and joy? Dual NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT 512mb graphics cards and a 24" flatpanel to go with the 22".

:D

I FINALLY got to hang out with my friend yesterday, I went to her house we had cookies, popcorn, chocolate, hot chocolate, pizza, garlic bread, fruit punch, and onion rings... surprisingly I don't have diarrhea we watched It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, TMZ and we played Rock Band (I was surprisingly good at guitar, bass and singing ) I bought her a Camp Rock blanket (She loves the Jonas Brothers) and she loved it and showed it off to her sister and her friend who came over later. Plus she gave me my birthday present *a month late* and it was a Chuck Norris shirt and a new action figure for my Undertaker collection which I will take a picture of and post on the UT Collection thread. In all it was one of the most fun days I have had this month (right after the trip to the movies with my cousins, brother and sister last Saturday) I hope we can hang out more now that she is not working and I'm out of school.

I absolutely love snow!

The past few days, it was snowy and ice-y where I am (not today, though...today it felt like spring for some reason), and I had a lot of fun walking around in the white-and-black ice. And not falling. I think the highlight of my winter will be walking along a path with a friend, and seeing that someone had traced a heart in the snow. Of course I "fixed" it...by tracing a crack through the middle. Even better was my friend's face at the time. She seemed truly horrified, haha. I also tried to draw out my name in ornate letters in the snow, but my finger got too cold (read: I'm an idiot) and I had to stop at "L-U-C."

Oh, and it may just be one of my unexplainable idiosyncrasies, but...for some reason, I hold that cold weather is "cleaner," so, I'll take a nice hot shower and then walk around outside for a bit (at the risk of certain death, according to my dear Mother). I'm so loving this winter, though. And, then, when it's over, it'll be beautiful spring! And then summer, and I'll be finished my 3rd year! O.o

SOoooo not only did I get an internship, I only had to go on saturdays. And I just fixed up the site for it. It is an independent feature film called Operation Get Rid of Pinky, its a comedy about a young man that comes back from Iraq and needs a job and is looking for the love of his life, and...well action and hilarity ensues (shameless plug in 3 2 1) here's the http://operationgetpinky.webs.com/ then I figured out how to link it a facebook fansite and people who saw it liked it. what else hhhmmm, I changed the Lyrics to Kevin Rudolf's "let it rock" so that it features christian lyrics and....now that i have to go back to school I have to switch over from sleeping all day and staying up all night, and that is all that is new for me.

This is a few days late. I started schooling on Tuesday of this week. It's an online course for home inspection. The paperwork is hell, but once I get certified, I can basically work my own hours, and I'm my own boss. It's nice to finally be able to learn something new. Kraftmaid was a job I liked for the work, but Home Inspection will be so much more satisfying, because I'll be able to see my kids much more during their school year. Last year I didn't see them at all til the weekends. It feels like a winner.

[Insanity_X]

Question, what exactly is home inspecting?

and in news relating to me, I have a new laptop. which is good, because my old one was buggered.

[Ed Burns]

Home Inspection is mainly done when you sell, renovate, or build a house. To sell a house here in Ohio, it's mandatory you get the house inspected, or you can't sell it. It's also done to see if everything's up to code.

Good luck Ed. I really hope it works out for you.

But is it a Mac, or that other OS?

[Insanity_X]

windows. because it's for university, and since I dont expect to do a lot of graphical designing, I dont think that apple's stylish laptops will do antthing for me that a windows one cant.

[Shadow Soul]

Ah Dan you must mean Linux

Is there any others

[Ed Burns]

I just got some good news... My last job iss beginning to call people back to work. I talked to my old boss Chuck, and he said to expect a call within two weeks. This is very good news for me as I am gonna finish school just in time.

[Veritas]

Congrats Ed!!! I'm really happy for you! Hopefully the job sticks around for a good period of time, too - I hear the economy is actually up for a change, and it's good to know that it's affecting you.
