The fact that I am already tired yet I have possibly the most busy week of the year starting about now... Being a techie can be very fun but very tiring as well...

The first of my final exams for the term is tomorrow afternoon. I'm not expecting a stellar mark but hopefully I'll pass with no major problems.

Good luck tomorrow Anomander.

Messing with my groove? I'm dead tired, but can't actually fall asleep. Pretty annoying.

My eyes are bleeding from too much exposure to Christmas-kitsch... and I still haven't got all the presents for the family... meaning, I'll have to take a deep breath and dive into the deperately overstressed Christmas-shopping-crowds again next week... meh...

The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.

Sick, fat from not smoking, and teaching math today. Bleh. Sorry kids, you're not going to learn fractions today, but how about some bronchitis or pig virus from mr luxury yacht.

So,

a bunch of lights, a new lighting desk and a whole load of cables arrive yesterday and like a good nerdy techie I jump straight on the cherry picker and put them all up in the right place... Then we find out that the jumper cables so we can plug the desk into the system are very short so we can't attach them to the dimmer racks, and the cables already in are the wrong kind. This means we had to order more cables and put back the setup by the day. Luckily we repatched the lights through the old desk so I was still able to focus the rig today, but still it's annoying!
Also, the extra set, back drapes and new screens haven't arrived yet so I may have to refocus later in the week, which is just a drag!

Argh. Sick. And children are to blame, again! I think they've declared biological war on me.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Could be a wise move.

At least, I don't think mine is bacon fever. It had better not be!

The teacher I'm subbing for today is trying to pull a fast one on me. If I work 4 hours or less, I get paid for a half day. Anything over 4 hours and I get paid for a whole day. I was scheduled for exactly for 4 hours today(7:45-11:45), which is a half day. Fine. Problem is the actual time spent in class is from 7:40-12:01, which is 21 minutes over 4 hours, and therefore a whole day. She's deliberately trying to cheat me out of a whole day, so she only will get deducted half of a sick day. Sorry lady. Not going to fly.

I'm sick and don't feel like dealing with this today, but it's worth it. I can't believe she's even trying this. Honestly, scheduling the sub to show up 5minutes AFTER class starts in order to scam a half sick day? Weak.

I'm not sick (at least as far as I know) but I'm crazy light-headed and I don't know why. I've eaten, I got plenty of sleep...but yet I feel like I could keel out of my chair if I'm not careful. Me no likee. Posted Image

Breaking news... that's not normal: you might be sick. (Or huffing paint thinner/inhaling gas fumes.)

Tendonitis for the last 3 years is really messing with my groove. For anyone out there learning to play guitar, start slow, stretch befor you play and always warm up with scales, otherwise it might fuck your life up.......

Also went to the dentist and found out I need 4 fillings........ I hate the needle
