All these tests makes me glad I'm not in school any longer.

Now I can admit freely what I do not know rather than having to take a test to prove it. :)

Good morning! It's a dreary morning here (10:40AM or so), drizzly, overcast, and cold. This would be a great day to make a horror flick. ^_^

Work is a little over two hours away. I'm enjoying some ambient music through the stereo, along with a cup of tea. I finished a little home programming project last night, and it works fine. Time for a shower, lunch, and then the drive to the beginning of a week of chaos.

Have a fun day!!!!!

Lol!!! Agreed jotdess!!!! I get off in, uh, 15 years. :eek: ;D

I get off in uh...way too many years hahaha. Unless I win the lotto which is a pipe dream really haha.

Yay, TELUS is giving me a KRZR for 99 dollars.

Nice. ;)

Yes, but just think jotdess and MO. You guys have that many years of work already out of the way. We still have to work all those years yet, unless I come up with some nice invention or idea that makes me really rich.

Oh and I'm officially done with tests for the semester! :)

I only have about 10 years of work under my belt. 2 that were pretty useless too, but I was young and wanted some extra $$$. :D

Congrats on being officially done with tests!!!!!

On years of work out of the way, to me those are years of life. I've actually tried to turn them into fun, and mostly I've been successful. I do the things I'm good at doing, with the provisos that I have to somehow feed my family and that I actually want to spend time with my family.

I said I'll get a break in 15 years, which is when I'll probably retire. I won't stop doing things though, assuming I keep healthy. As long as I'm able, I plan to keep doing the things I like to do.

Yeah, I wish I could retire soon, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon. Sounds like a good plan MO.

Good luck on the test, jdgti.

I'm just currently sitting around waiting for a friend to come pick me up. We're going to go to the library and then turn in all my schoolbooks for the semester.

Today is going to be a good day.

Busy day today. I had a final at 8 AM, then my MacBook had a kernel panic from Airport so I had to reinstall OS X. Everything seems to be in working order now though.

Glad the macbook is now fully repaired TC99.

Right now I'm hanging out in the living room with the christmas lights on. I brought my MBP out here for a nice cleaning and I hooked it up to my surround sound so I can listen to music through decent speakers, instead of the horrible laptop ones.

MMmmmm...mac and cheese, I haven't had that in a while. I've been on a big breakfast kick for the past week or so. I've been having eggs, toast, and OJ for almost every meal it seems like.

Stop talking about food bryphotoguy, your just making me hungry. :)

Some cheesy been and rice burritos from Taco Bell would have been better. The nearest Taco Bell is 10 mins away and didn't feel like driving.
Breakfast eh? I don't own a toaster or microwave so cereal and bagels from Panera are about all I've eaten for breakfast in a long time. Eggos might hit the spot.
Oh, you said stop talking about food. My bad! ;)

Yea, I've been eating egg sandwiches like they are going out of style. Don't even mention Taco Bell. That used to bed the "drunken food" last year and I haven't been there in quite a while. Don't get me wrong, it's always tasty, but man after I eat it I feel like I just punished my health, haha.

Stretch, welcome back man! How did the move go? Hope you didn't have to suffer too long without the wondrous thing we called the World Wide Web.:)

Whenever I'm moving into a new place, which is very often given I'm a college student, I always make sure to set up my computer and speakers first. Then I create a NICE LONG playlist on iTunes and listen to some good music. Makes unpacking almost seem like fun haha.

Where'd you move? First thing you do is unpack the computer and hook it up?
