I think I found a Condominium that I want to buy! Wow, this has been a crazy few months.... I think I have enough in the bank to buy it too, which scares me even more. This is a crazy thing, me buying a house... I guess I have to concede that I'm growing up. The cool thing is that I think I am going to be able to qualify for it and come up with the down payment all on my own - I don't think I'm going to have to ask my parents for anything. That's a pretty great feeling...

Alls well that ends well... we finally had power restored a few hours ago, and I worked out the problem which was going to get me into hot water! In a related note, I love the internet. :) I'll type more at ya monday - everyone have a good weekend...

Today is a strange day already. I wasn't planning on coming to work, but they called me a few times (due to my own messages left to people at 3 am in the morning). Ugh. I am trying fervently to get something done, but I have a feeling I'm just going to disappoint someone very important to me... and that sucks. I hate it when that happens.


So... we are in a power outage. Most of the building is dark, except for the big call center room which is lit up by skylights. If it starts storming again, it will be dark in here... we have about two more hours of daylight before we're going to have to send everyone home...


Being in the IT department has its priveleges. I can abuse the backup generators and surf while everyone else is panicking...

It certainly seems much faster now. Let's hope that I just fixed the template problem that was making my blog angry.

Well, I don't know what to say. It's only 7 days now until Lise moves in. I am excited, nervous, and terrified. Man, if I screw this one up there are WAY bigger consequences than ever before... There is more pressure because of that, but all in all I think I'm doing ok. I've stopped obsessively cleaning my house (although this will probably start up again in a few days).


One of my close friends at work is leaving, and I am saddened. While we didn't talk all that often towards the end, it was always good to know that I could trust Leslie with whatever problems I was having, and she always had an encouraging word. In a lot of ways, she has been a great teacher to me, and I am going to miss her. We are truly losing an asset with her departure. Goodbye, and Goodluck, to you.
