For a good time :
1) Add scottJBot to you AIM Buddy List
2) Send him a message of 'fortune'
3) Await enlightenment

update:
Find out what mp3 scott is listening to by telling scottJBot 'get song'

update:
scottJBot is pretty stupid, and doesn't understand HTML encoded messages, so unless you are using the AIM client I use, it probably won't work...

update:
scottJBot now handles HTML encoded messages, I think.

It was one of those days. You know, those monday kind of days. I spent the day looking at a spec that for some strange reason, I couldn't wrap my head around. Tired and listless. I just now burnt my hand on the metal handle of the pot that has been on the stove for about 10 minutes now. And to make it and extra special monday kind of day, I saw my ex-girlfriend down at the store. I was pretty sure I would be able to make it through pretty much the rest of my life without seeing her, as I go to all of 4 diffrent places in my day to day life. Not something I really needed to deal with right now. Managed to not talk to her, as I didn't really recognize that it was her until I was in the check-out.

I have been having strange dreams again. Except this time, it's not people that I know that are in them, it's movie stars. In the last one I can remember, Angelina Jolie and John Cusak were in it as a punk-type person and a fast-food manager, respectivly. I am beginning to think I watch too many movies.

And last weeks face time was about 5-6 hours, IIRC.

How to avoid working on a Sunday night

Ecce Signum, because his kung-fu is best
and
BP, just because.

Well, I think the software death march is over. Or at least near over. The software is in a 'good enough' state, according to the boss, and I have not the energy or intention to argue. I think everyone is ready to be rid of this project. There are still things to be fixed, to be sure, but whether I am here to fix them remains to be seen.
Had a chat with the boss about my late review, and he needs to talk to the other partner before that happens, so it will be next week. I am getting the sneaking suspision that they are going to try to cheat me out of the promised pay raise (promised when I was hired, before I was on this project) due to missed deadlines on the project rewrite. If this happens I get to activly start looking for work again.
I have been sleeping worse then ever lately. I wake up after 3 or 4 hours of sleep. Usually heather is doing something she shouldn't be, but I think that is just coincedence. Last night I slept from about 9pm to 1:30am, then I was up. I worked until 5:30am, then went back to bed and promptly overslept.
I haven't been doing much of anything lately. I have not been in the mood lately to be social. It's not anyone in particular, it's everyone in general. I just don't want to be around people right now. So, as an experiment, I think I am going to track the amount of non-work-related facetime I have with people. All social contact that is outside of work and also outside the producer/comsumer arena, contact that is purely social, is going to monitored. I think I can probably survive on something like 2 hours of social contact a month. What is the longest you have gone without social contact of any kind? How much social contact do you need, to remain sane (or at least at your current level of sanity)?

dude!
dude!
Looks like tuesday I spend more money I shouldn't...

I have something to say, but I don't have the words right now..
Instead, I will answer some of my higher search requests.
1) there is no arizona: You are probably looking for this site.
2) mp3there is no arizona: They have some music here but no mp3s
3) dooce blog: The dooce is down. She might be back up, somewhere, but who knows. I have seen people asking if there is a new dooce up, but the point is she doesn't want people to know who she is. Maybe it should just be left at that..
4) hate arizona: I like arizona, in general.
5) arizona meal ready to eat: 18 million fast food joints and you can't find a meal ready to eat. Are you retarded?

Doesn't everyone?

There is a reason I got into this industry. At present it eludes me, but I remember there was a reason...
Somehow I don't think bug-chasing at 1 in the morning was that reason...

Blah.. I don't think I have had one deep thought in the past month or so. I'm so bored with everything. I know this has happened to me in the past, but I can't remember what the heck I did about it. What do you do when you get bored/uninspired/unmotiviated?
