(no subject)

I just napped for 45 minutes during my lunch hour at work. I went outside, lied down on the lip of a closed loading dock, and listened to the winds in the trees in the nearby swampy area. It was nice. I feel pretty good in actuality. It's amazing what a brief interlude of being in the sight of sun and sky, and listening to the murmuring of the universe will do

My mother was talking about changing jobs again. This would have been somewhat problematic in several ways, even though she doesn't much like the job she has. But it seems the situation has been resolved. My dad tells me she doesn't think we can afford her switching to the lower paying job she was considering. I feel bad for her, but at the same time, I'm certainly glad our, and my, financial situation seem to be improving... *shrug* That's life. And life is ok.

Back to work.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day...

Friday night with nothing to do. Nobody I know is on Trillian. My dad's using the TV so I can't play DDR. Looks like the Dwarf is prob'ly bringing a server of his we found at Chester's, a local misc. electronics store (an old professional Intel server with a Pentium Pro 200 and 5 bay hot swap RAID backplane ^_^), so I can futz around with thrying to install Linux on it. Again. Last time X-windows kept crashing. And I, knowing only slightly more about Linux than I know about sewing (um, stick the fabric under the machine and push the pedal, right? Oh, there's more to it?), couldn't figure out the problem. But I'll try it again I suppose. I'm just not quite as obsessive about working on computer hardware as I once was. I still really love doing it. I just wish I had something more, I dunno, social, to do on a weekend.

Dark Side of the Moon is, I understand, being rereleased in a new remastered version. I've never bought much music, but I'll have money, and I love Pink Floyd, so this could be a good time to add another CD to my collection.

And tonight, I guess I'll read, or wash clothes, or something, and see if anybody gets online...
