>Well I’m all flumpy…

Deleted everything on the hard drive partition that included my “My Documents” folder accidently while installing Windows 2003 Server… and all because the wrong hard drive was set to boot first in the BIOS. I should have changed it, but that’s what happens when you drink and compute.

Also in said “My Documents” folder were most of the iTunes songs I’ve purchased which I had not yet backed up, and my saved games from GTA: Vice City & NFS Underground. I’m very sad.

I got up early today, got a lot done but still felt really down and out most of the day. I did bills, that’ll depress anyone without a steady income… and even got my haircut to look all spiffy for Nicole’s father this weekend. We’re going to NY to set up a computer he had me build, as well as set up the house on a wireless network.

I also recieved a call from Traveller’s… I think they do insurance? They’re looking for an internal tech support agent, it’s shitty hours, but fairly good pay. I’ve got an interview on Monday, but I’m not feeling it.

I had really hoped that the Fleet conversion would turn into a real job, instead it’s been a lot of false hopes and late checks. Half the people I worked with on Wednesday were from my training class — it was nice being the senior temporary employee, but it was still lacking.

Here’s a full time job, 10 hours, 4 days a week… and I’m just not excited. .:sigh:.

Christmas is coming, the computer I built for my nieces and nephews isn’t all that fast it turns out. It’s using Linux, and cost me almost nothing to build… but kind of feel like a dope giving it to them. I guess it’ll have to do. No one else is getting any presents so far. There’s just no way — I mean, there is a way, but it’s not practical to put myself further into debt with credit cards when I can probably find something to do for free. Maybe I’ll do some banking.

So money being what it is, I’m all sad and stuff — then a check will come tomorrow and all will be well, I hope. I kinda want to check out this new place on Liberty St in Springfield, beer and XBox tournament nightly and all that.

We’ll see what happens.
