Here's.. something!

Arrg, rant time!

I usually love work. It's tiring and at times, and painful at others, but all in all I have few complaints. And all in all my day was quite grand, minus the forty minutes I spent with one particularly annoying fellow (whom I hope never reads this blog). Now as I mentioned before I work desktop support, so I get called around to offices where I either fix their problem or show them how to fix it on their own.

Today I was called to some guy's desk. Now, I suppose I have seen him about, but never really talked to him more than to say Hi. So for all intensive purposes I don't know him at all. I ask him to show me the problem and he does so, but while doing so starts this kind of atheist bashing rant. How they have no moral compass, and how without faith there is no hope, burning in hell, and so on.

Now it's not a fact I advertise to everyone, but I am an atheist. Now how exactly this random guy I work with knows is anyone's guess. Because some of the questions he asks during the rant are aimed specifically at me. Asking how did I decide, and how I should come to his church. It takes some willpower but I avoid opening my mouth at all throughout his tirade. When he paused for some questions I start talking about the computer. I won't be baited into an argument or debate. I finish watching his demonstration and start telling him how to fix his problem.

Unfortunately he is not listening to me at all. He is far too interested in telling me how wrong I am. So I continue to try to explain, and he begins to slowly do as he's told, after having me say each step at least twice. In the end as I'm leaving he asks me out!? I tell him "Sorry, no." and I'm off, with probably the most dumbfounded look on my face ever.

So let it be known that telling me I'm wrong for nearly 30 minutes is not a way to get me to consider you dating material.

--------------------------------------------------------

I left out details about who it was and what the problem was in order to keep my job. I hope this is still vague enough to avoid problems.

Thanks for the support whoever is still reading this, and look forward to next time, where I hope I will have something other than a long winded complaint about my day!

Curse you real life!

As you all heard in my last post, I am employed. I failed to realize exactly how much this would wear me out. Day after day all I wanted to do was vault myself onto my bed and read until I fell asleep.

And for the most part, that is what I have been doing. No art, no games, no programming for fun. Just reading and sleeping. And sorry to say, but for the most part, it will continue as such for the next 2 months or so.

Once I'm back and procrastinating at school, then I will have all the time to draw, write, and game. Assuming I don't get swamped there. I might make the odd posting here and there over the rest of summer, but don't expect anything with regularity.

Anyway, I'm sure you are all wondering what work gets me so tired. Well it's desktop support. I won't say for who or give out any details. I've seen people canned for less. The important part is that I have a good, paying job. Even if the pay itself is not that good.

Well that's all from me tonight. Hopefully I'll find myself back here next weekend. Maybe I'll review a book or something. I can't say I have much else to talk about. I would tell a few good stories from work, but I'm sure you've all heard the BOFH and PEBKAC stories before.

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you're all still out there. If nothing else come back sometime in September. There will be updates! There might even be art!

Edit: Also had a birthday a while back. Happy birthday me!

Long time no post

I'm now employed. This seems to be a good thing as it means I can now pay for things. This could seem like a bad thing as I have had nearly no time to rest with work and the rest of my life still running at full speed.

But I will still endevor to post here, I certainly have a cache of sketchblogs I drew but never could get around to posting. So for the next few weeks you will see some new posts on old events. Not that you would know when these happened unless you were stalking me. =)

Anyway just posting to apologize for the lack of posts and to inform that there are some coming. Also my apologies to anyone who was on my DF fortress, I'd say it will return, but it will likely be too long of a wait for me to have free time to keep the fortress ongoing.

This movie made my brain crawl

Now I'm not a movie reviewer by any means, but 'The Last Templar' offended my geek sensibilities. The main character, might have been a bad female Indiana Jones, except that she really could care less about any artifact that isn't associated with the Templars. So she breaks through a roof into a supposedly ash and pumice buried city (with tons of inaccuracy there). She cares nothing for the potential find of the city itself. She could care less about the fact that her haste is basically to blame for the site's destruction. Nope, she just loves the fact she found the one item she was after. That is treasure seeking, not archeology. *grumblemuttergrumble* It seemed to be a commercial for religion, and christianity specifically. Not exactly what I call a good premise for a movie.



I'll stop there, much more of it bothered me than that, but I just had to complain a little.

A return to gaming

Back to dwarf fortress and back to Go. I've been playing go off and on, but have avoided the much more involved Dwarf Fortress. Now I've downloaded it and all other work has suddenly come to a standstill.

....

Back to the game.

Now, I really am back. =)

Shock and awe! I have readers!

I have to say I didn't pay any attention to this for a while even after 'coming back' because the people I thought were reading it apparently had not been but failed to look and see if anyone had come by.

I will update a sketch soon for anyone still diligent enough to check, with a little hint as to where I have been over the past few weeks (I have no excuses for before that.)

I'm back

Well I had completely forgotten about this blog. It's impossible for me to scan anything at the moment so it will be text only if I remember to post. I've been very lazy as of late, I'm not currently at school, nor am I currently working. I'm taking a break. A nice long break. I have to admit it's probably a little late to be thinking that Computer Science is not the best fit for me, but I can't help but look at engineering and figure that its a job that I would not mind doing day in and day out. Granted programming is a great hobby, I just don't know how much I enjoy doing it for someone else.

I could definitely see myself going for a PhD in CS, attempting for a professor position. I could also enjoy working as a sys admin. I don't think I'll switch majors on a whim. I will hope that an internship or two give me a better idea of what I can look forward to with a CS degree. That is assuming I can pay for it.

St. Patrick's Day Post

It's St. Patrick's Day Night. (No this is not a drunken post. Sorry.) I just feel that I have been neglecting my blog. It was going to be updated daily, but I just don't know that I have that much to say.

I am a shut-in geek. So my activities are more or less limited. If nothing else I will have at least one post a week. So visit, comment. I could use the interaction. =/

I might as well post my activities for tonight. I did homework and studying until around 9:30. I then was going to go out for some air when I ran into some people starting up a game of risk. They asked me if I wanted to join them and I agreed. I took away a respectable second place. They were completely civil too. No arguing, no whining. I was shocked. =P

The game ended at 11:20. A fairly short risk game, all things considered. The people who lost played a few games of jenga on another table. Another game was ready to start, but I still wanted to go out for that fresh air. I had planned on sleeping after that. I am still awake, but mostly due to all the parties that have been going on. They are trying to be quiet, and I can appreciate that, but it's not going to happen when you stuff 12 people into a dorm room that can usually support 5 at max. So it rolls out into the study lounge and the halls. They are dying down now. So maybe sleep after this post. That would be all that I have to report for today.

Anyway thanks for reading! Keep it up!
