As soon as I get done here I'm going to the gym. Or at least the small room they call a gym in the apartment. I don't feel like taking the time to take the car up to the full gym, work my ass off, then get a shower, get dressed, come home, get undressed and go to sleep. I would much rather walk to the club house, work my ass off, walk back, grab a shower, and go to sleep.

I got a back up copy of a friends half-life, Ron about came unglued when he saw it. I didn't know, but half-life is on Rons VERY short list. I think I'm spending too much time on the computer, I only came up for air to watch dilbert tonight. I have a feeling that I'm going to have to get a life here soon, if for no other reason that I might be getting those carple symptom in my left arm again. I'm going to have to go back to using the mouse with my right hand. I'm right handed but I use my mouse left handed. God, the back of my neck hurts too. I think that I'm stressing because I'm not getting anything done at work. I have two things to do right now, write the wise scripts for Mango and figure out how to automate the process of configuration management using source safe (and maybe perl, want to use perl). I spent most of today cleaning my cube, getting rid of things and such. I still have to learn what configuration management is.

Then we have the whole thing going with testers wanting to move to development. I don't even want to get into this, because there are way too many legal issues involved. Suffice to say that it's messy.

I got through the day today with out any sugar. God that was difficult. I'm going to have to clean the candy out of my drawer at work. It's not like I eat that much candy, I don't, but I like to have it around for when the urge hits me. About once every 2 weeks I'll hit a binge where eat 7 - 12 hard candys in a day. Plus I've taken the hot choacholate out of my coffee, and I'm getting better at drinking at least 64 ounces of water a day.

Julie offered to set me up with one of her friends today. Julie is chineese and is just wonderful, she has no tact and just says things that people are thinking. So she's asking me when I'm going to go out with someone, and why aren't I married yet? I'm not sure I'm ready to be in a position where Julie knows too much about me. I'm just a bit kinky, and I'd rather not have that get back to work.

I just figured out how I can automate this process. Have a perlscript that takes the system date, formats it for me, adds a .txt to the end and starts up notepad with that as the file name. I can have it put in the correct directory and everything. I like working in notepad, it's the closest thing the computer has to pen and paper. I don't do any spell checking here, I don't have word checking my grammer, all I have to do is put my thoughts down on the screen.

and what random thoughts they are.

I'm also a freecell junkie, I like to play a hundred games and see what my percentage of wins is. I seem to be right in and around the 85-90 percent range.
