Oh so busy....

It has been a pretty interesting couple of weeks. By interesting, I mean hectic, chaotic, and just kinda weird. Started off a little over a week ago, when I had a couple friends come down for the weekend. Had a good time partying it up, then went out to an ATV park to get some pictures for work. And by work, I mean we spent 95% of the time riding, and just having a good time, and the other 5% stopping to get some pretty decent pictures. However, that nice event was followed by about 12 hrs worth of work, and this whole week has been like that. Earliest I have actually gotten to bed this week was somewhere around 2AM. I really do enjoy doing the web design, but it is kinda frustrating doing this work for free. Long story short, I had to create a website for my new boss to prove to him that I had the necessary skills. That site is about to go live, hopefully tonight. Then I will start development on a couple other sites. The best news though, is that this is turning into a full-time position in 3 weeks, so that gives me the necessary time to put in sufficient notice at my other job. My schedule for the past week, and likely the next couple weeks: 2 hours of class in the morning, an hour drive to work, an 8 hr shift, an hour drive home, then web design/homework until 2-4AM, depending on how productive I feel. The other side of things reared its ugly head today though, when I managed to piss off one of the bosses at the plant when I went out there to give my boss an update. The tech was there to begin installation of the new T1 line, so my boss told me to talk to him a bit, and get a feel for how the network is going to be set up. Apparently, this was seen as territorial infringement by the guy who has been working to get the T1 line put in. He proceeded to go into the office, slam the door, and have a nice "discussion" with my boss, and then proceeded to call me in, and grill me on why I felt the need to so much as talk to the tech. Good start, lol. At least now I know he is territorial, and will probably just make sure to avoid him as much as possible.

Even got to go out to the farm last week. Granted, my plan of actually getting to ride failed, due to the fact that it was about 1 outside, but I really enjoy getting to spend time out there. I stuck around for awhile, and helped with the evening feed. Cold as hell, but I always feel better when I get to hang out there. Perhaps it is the isolation provided out there. My cell phone barely works, so it is easy for me to forget that I even have a cell phone. To put that in perspective, I have a hard time staying away from my phone for even a couple minutes. Especially with my schedule lately, it is my one connection to the rest of the world, and I have developed such a dependence on it that it is somewhat ridiculous. Oh well, such is the life of a techie. Can't keep myself away.

Well, I suppose that is all for now. Back to the grind of life. Now let's see if I can actually update a little more often. I have started a couple posts this past week, but always seem to get distracted before I can actually put together a full post. Gotta work on that....
