Some day :

My brother finally showed up around 1230R, to bitch at me for nt being ready – my response being, “Your late, so you can wait”. Good sized headache helping him ove crap around, I tell ya… family are the only creatures alive who have the balls to ask for help and insult you all the way through it!

Ducked into a few levels of F.E.A.R. to pass the time until he finally shoved off and Ma found something to do, not involving driving me nuts.

I managed to sort out the meeting, it’s either tomorrow at 1800GMT or next weekend lol. I still don’t think we’ll be able to get everyone present by then, but w/e works for most of us. Tomorrow, I also need to take some time to catch up with my email lol.

I also eventually made it into Proving Grounds #3 to join Chester, Decapi, and Duke for some great games. Pardoning my mother trying to shipwreck the highlight of my day, but it was still good to get the games in, even if I was last to show and first to leave :-(. One thing that did bring a smile to my face though, on the angels of mercy mission; I called for a reload before we continued on, b/c I had 18 rounds left and we were moving into 2 small rooms, followed by a hallway and 2 very large rooms without much time to reload if things hit the fan. When I completed our reloading drill, (EL) Duke stepped out of formation and asked us if we had ever seen this before, leaving all of us flabbergasted to figure out what he meant lol -> every thread angel was covered perfectly by the element, from gun down to gun up.

That made my day 🙂

Well, I’ve generally set a course… In the short term, I have a few goals of immediate concern:

  1. Get my school work done (how boring…)
  2. Improve my understanding of (useful) mathematics
  3. balance getting work done

I need to begin making more progress with my schooling, what I’ve got on the plate right now is in no way challenging… beyond time constraints; every moment spent on homework is less on every other pile of shit in my todo-box. I also want to try and teach myself more about mathematics, both to prepare for harder stuff, and because I’m generally interested. Although, I think writing a device driver would be easier then reading some of the notation without something like this.

One thing I do bloody well know, I’m using bc(1) for the leg work. Although I never used a calculator in doing homework before, I also ain’t used a pencil to solve a math problem in ages when walking around ^_^. I type with 10 fingers both out of need and love for efficiency; time is precious!

For getting stuff done, that’s generally the one thing that does hit my schedule. That’s one of the reasons my homework always piles up… I figure though, if I can properly split my time, and not have to compromise the other parts.. I might actually get something done eventually!

Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics, I assure you that mine are
greater.

— Albert Einstein

Now that quote really makes me feel better…. lol.

I have no idea if I’m working tomorrow or not, but I hop I’ll get the day off… The weekends been more or les a total ash out. If I’m working though, it’ll be a full day. I come from a family, where we go to work unless your head is practically falling off lol.

Hehe, that reminds me… Some funny news, my brothers supposed to be getting a physical this week. Oh man, this is going to be funny, I hope he doesn’t faint! his is a guy, who chose to who made us all go out of state for his wedding – just to avoid a blood test!

I have more that I want to write, but to little energy and not enough time. If it really is 0800Z and I /am/ working tomorrow… I best get some shuteye, it’s a hell of a day.

Crud…

Crept into the kitchen, got a glass, knocked over the cap to a travel mug, and made it to the fridge for some OJ. Like, can I make any more freaking noise!? At this time of night, the sound of a plastic cap falling ~a metre to the ground is loud enough to give away ones position (to my ears anyway) from half the building away…

Stealth is my specialty, I’m generally good at being unobserved and when desired, and I can be very silent in my movements – when I know the environment well, even more so. But every now and then, I just fsck up :

*sigh* all I need is to end up in round 1,000,346,412,782,965,000 of annoyance !!!

My families more or less managed to consume or destroy all parts of my life, about the only thing they’ve yet to dig into is [SAS]. Fuck… I couldn’t even get a space on the couch, instead I’m balanced off the side, foot stuck on the corner of a stand and who knows wtf stabbing me in the backside. What will they leave me with next? A throbbing head, a soar backside, numbed hands, crink in the neck by tomorrow, and legs that are as good as ten feet ahead of the rest of me, for the speed they move at.

I don’t know if I have any hope left at this point, those hat know me best, would probably find irony in that. It’s like, the more I try to get ahead, the further behind the eight ball I end up :

From approx 1615 UTC, when I got up… Almost all the way to 0330 UTC, my families succeeded in monopolizing my day, and mostly having me miserable during it :

Ok, some luck after all… We’re not going any where. So hopefully, I might be able to get sme work done, while Ma and my Brother chat it out. I’ve managed to transition myself into my room, in front of a laptop, with headphones on and some good music. If anyone needs to get to me, they can use AIM/MSN/YIM/ICQ, pick an Jabber/XMPP account, or try me on Freendoe or [SAS] Comms.

I’d rather like to have some work done, to show for this weekend…

edit:

Scratch that, fucked again!

Oh joy, now only did I get dragged out on a shopping expedition as soon as I got out of bed…. Now it’s probably that my brother will make sure I am dragged out, on a wasting time expeidition.

Why can’t people just let me _C_O_D_E_ and be

*SIGH*

It seems to more time I spend around my family, or the more time I spend thinking about my /life/, the more miserable I get.

  • I have 5 programs to complete, 1 in C, 1 in C++, 3 in Python, only 2 of which are mostly done. The one in C, unfortinely is a windows app…. And that’s a sentence worse then death in it’s own right.
  • I have a ton of homework piled up, which at the moment on the _short term_ amounts to finishing one unit of a 2-year course.
  • I have a library to finish testing, 2 modules to rewrite, and a mock up of a website to do.

I’ve had part of my Friday and Saturday wasted, and I will probably have part of my Sunday wasted, and I don’t even want to think about Monday! So of obviously nothing is going to get done before I go back to work on Tuesday. Anyway you slice it, I just keep getting fucked.
