Over Most of the Free World, and Maybe Some of the Paid World as Well…
Jun 1st
My health continues to give me the finger. I continue to get glimpses of what I want to believe is an idea of how to turn my sad excuse for health around. And I’m really just over the whole thing.
I keep reading all these messages of “Fat Positive” and “Body Positive” and you know, it sounds great, really it does. And yeah, diets are crap and forcing yourself into something you’re not won’t work and blah blah blah but, really? UGH! The fact that any of us are spending time working one side of the fat fence or the other is really disturbing to me.
I hate how fucked up this world is. I do. You can’t do anything you ever really want to do. There’s always someone telling you that you can’t, or your own self stands in your way, and every time you over come some hurdle, there’s only like a million more. You can’t even throw your shit down and scream “I QUIT!!!” without some asshole coming by and telling you it’s okay, that you’re a trooper, that you’ve earned a nice lay down.
I just don’t have enough patience for this shit.
New Laptop
Mar 27th
Today I bought a new laptop. I’ve decided to name him Ed.
Ed is a Compaq Presario with Windows 7 and everything I think I’ll need for projects at work. I’m looking to take some outdated VHS training tapes we offer for rent and transfer them to digital movies we can either archive, burn to DVD, or put on our website.
At work I’m pretty much “the tech guy” on staff. The trick is to do these projects to help enhance my position at work without allowing myself to be taken advantage of. This is actually a pretty hard place for me to negotiate but I know my supervisor, who’s the most awesome person on earth, will help me navigate it successfully.
Anyway, I just updated WordPress for the site and I’m busy making sure I tweak Ed to ensure I have everything I need at my fingertips. Next up? Blackberry desktop software.
Hope everyone else is having a good weekend.
