Rafting and Sysadminning

Well, I thought the rafting trip yesterday was successful anyway. It was beautiful out, great weather, though since its been so dry, the water level (1’8) was a bit low. I ended up having Curt captain a boat with Jennie, Josh and b1uebutterf1y and I took beststephi, hurtsogood and James in my boat. Curt’s crew…

hooray! its rafting day…

getting ready to head out to ohiopyle for a fun filled day of rafting… beststephi lives here and Jennie and Josh spent the night here last night, so we’re all already ready. Waiting for Mathilde, Curt, hurtsogood and James now. River level is only at 1’8 since its been so dry this season, but it…

got tons of stuff done today — yay!!

Mailed my Dad his plates back from the truck. Went and did a little grocery shopping. Applied for a job being sysadmin of Telerama. Kind of interesting, they didn’t ask for my resume yet. In fact, I don’t think I’ve even given them my real name. just been signing everything as “Mav.” They don’t want…

Today in bum land…

jetgrrl01 posted this link which I thought was cool. Yesterday I went to the chiropractor again. They still want me to come back one more time in 4 weeks. Sigh…. I feel fine, and they say that they will release me after this next appointment. So I guess I will go one more time. At…

Hard Knock Life

Finally! The truck is registered in my name. Again that was a lot of pain. I want a job at the DMV. I think its very low stress. It seems like it would be stressful what with everyone hating you and all… but really, those people seem very laid back. Don’t feel like dealing with…

mental conditioning…

Played tennis yet again with max1975, beststephi and wooble. Doing a bit better now, and in fact, max1975 and I won the first set 7-6. Completely fell apart the second set and lost 1-6. Third set we lost 4-6. I wanted to finish up the last two sets, but our mentally weak opponents felt that…

Yawn…

Being a bum can be exhausting. I was never this tired when I actually had a job. Like I said earlier, I put in resumes for CMU today. 18 of them. Here’s hoping someone calls back. I also had lunch with anisodragnfly and talked to my insurance agents about my car. Also, my chiropractor called…

Whew….

God, its hot outside today. Plus its raining so that makes it really humid and nasty. Finally went to Whitfield Hall and put in job applications today. Put in 18, mostly for systems type jobs. We’ll see if anyone bites. It would be kinda nice to go back to CMU and take classes again. Also…

Happy Birthday sweetie!

It’s beststephi’s birthday. Yay! Everyone wish her a happy birthday and laugh at her for being OLD!!! sui66iy pointed out another cool house for sale… *sigh* I really have to find a job. Isn’t Blade Runner supposed to be one of those classic movies that you can pretty much just get anytime you want? Tried…

tennis again

Just got back from playing tennis with beststephi, max1975 and anisodragnfly. Max and I finally proved that Steph was mentally weak by defeating her. Yay! I bought new crosstrainers to play in since my old one has pretty much had it. Unfortunately they only had size 10 (i normally wear 10 1/2 or 10 Wide),…

more birthday presents

finally got my birthday present from beststephi. The London Opera Trenchcoat, something that I have wanted for years. Yay. Now I’ll be even more stylishly ambiguosly gay than any of my friends. Thankyou, sweetie! I’d also like to thank everyone else who chipped in with her to buy it, which to the best of my…

Protected: I’m a florist.

So every once in a while, I do a google search on the various variations of my name just to find out who is linking to me out in the great beyond. Today, I was quite amused to discover 411anchorage.com, a yellow pages site for Anchorage Alaska which links to Krystoff’s website under the category…

yay more birthday presents…

Finally got a present from my Mom today. A set of plastic wine glasses (for picnics and such, I have plenty of crystal ones) and a wine stopper, tray and corkscrew. She also got a pair of shirts for beststephi for her birthday. beststephi gets all her presents early and I get all mine late.…

tennis

Well, I played tennis (with beststephi, wooble and max1975) for the first time since I tried to play after the accident. I feel a lot better, which is good. Actually, I also played basketball yesterday. So apparently some athletic skill still remains. Of course, max1975 and I lost, but ah well. I guess its good…
