So... it will be relatively boring. ;)

I have a job interview for Tuesday. Its with the State still, just a different department, but the position would be a significant upgrade - a program manager, which sounds to be a project manager. I find it relatively amusing - I've applied for a few jobs, most of which were just the next step up in programming. And the only one I've heard back from is this one. There was even a second cut, of sorts, involved in it - you submit your resume, of course, but they then had a written exercise certain people were selected from.

In truth, I thought I hadn't made that second cut - they wanted them last Wednesday, so they could schedule interviews ASAP. End of the day Friday, still hadn't heard anything, so I let it go, enjoyed my weekend. Monday afternoon is when I got the call; I forget that the state's interpretation of ASAP is ever so different. ;)

In other news, I had been a bit down. The interview helps, but I'm still in a bit of a slump. Just feel alone and down, but it really just is a large cycle I go in. Part of what isn't helping, I'm sure, is the prednisone (sp?) I'm on for my lovely poison ivy. ;) By the way - I hate the stuff. Its an instant start disolving thing, and it tastes HORRIBLE. Ugh.

((Been playing around more with GIMP, still not fully happy with things, but jadeness has been ever so kind as to send me a different utility to use, so I'll have to see if I can't get that one figured out!))

( There was this party... )

I need a couple more icons. This is my only one. :\

Been a while since I've posted a real, tru, live update... so thought I would. I've mostly been busy with school, work, and family, using WoW to allow myself to relax. Luckily, school will soon be done - come August, I'll have graduated, and will have far more free time to waste. :)

Work has been the main annoyance of late, one thing after another. My boss has left for a better job, and it's thrown the whole thing up in the air around the place. Changes are coming because of it, and not all of them are good - mostly organizational, none of which will affect the status of my job, but still things that will just be a pain to get used to. Between work and a few other things, I've been rather cranky of late, and more than a bit down. Part of the reason I'm home today; stomach is a bit upset as it is, but I just had no motivation to go in, so I called in sick. (Yaay for sick days.)

The good news, at least, is that there is a side project I've still been working on, and it is getting quite close to where we need it to be - my excitement is getting ramped back up about it, and it will be nice to see whether it sinks or floats; if it floats, my worries about work might be merely temporary, at least. :)

Here is the type of person I am:

Work sucks.. in particular, third party contractors can just fuck off. An entire day wasted based off of crappy information from them... ugh.

We are back. Talk about a whirlwind of a 'vacation' ... Kayashta and I went to visit her family, which was good, especially for her, as she found out good news from her mother. But, it was a very tiring experience... lots of travel in a short amount of time, and I think we spent all of ten seconds alone together before we passed out from exhaustion. ;)

Luckily, new years weekend will just be the two of us, and I'm looking forward to it. Think we will rent/buy some movies, and just relax, with no plans to go anywhere or do anything. And now, song lyrics, cause I heard it on the radio this morning on my drive in to work (which, was more travel.. make the bad cars stop!)

I don't like to be alone in the night
And I don't like to hear I'm wrong when I'm right
And I don't like to have the rain on my shoe
But I do love you, but I do love you
I don't like to see the sky painted gray
And I don't like when nothing's going my way
And I don't like to be the one with the blues
But I do love you, but I do love you
Love everything about the way you're loving me
The way you lay your head
Upon my shoulder when you sleep
And I love to kiss you in the rain
I love everything you do, oh I do
I don't like to turn the radio on
Just to find I missed my favorite song
And I don't like to be the last with the news
But I do love you, but I do love you
Love everything about the way you're loving me
The way you lay your head
Upon my shoulder when you sleep
And I love to kiss you in the rain
I love everything you do, oh I do
And I don't like to be alone in the night
And I don't like to hear I'm wrong when I'm right
And I don't like to have the rain on my shoes
But I do love you but I do love you
But I do love you but I do love you

But I do love you - LeAnn Rimes
