• fight mundane monotonous repetition?
• boredom?
• dumb, blind, ignorant people?

That is a brief abstract of my life lately.

Well, its been awhile, and I’m still going pretty much going at work none stop. Systems that they added, pretty much fail on the drive regularly, and the sad part is, it hasn’t been over 2 months yet, some people were expecting it to last at least 3.

Wedding, most is done, just a few dangling things, like no or late RSVPs. Also the rehearsal dinner, is still not set. Hopefully Jaro will get the dress or at least try it today, so she can get the final stuff done on it (16 days left).

Someone mentioned it and struck a cord with me. I paint the Golden Gate Bridge, I start at one end and by the time I reach the other end, go back and start again.

Numbers are not as bad as they used to be but they are not where I wanted them to stay, plus they didn’t really tell me but we are adding 1500 more procs (which translates to 187.5 machines, which is not possible, so I think it will be more of 1200, anyway) and since I’m responsible for them, I should have been the first person to:

1. Tell
2. Ask if they will work
3. Show what it is
4. Show how it works

Needless to say, I’m still not sure what is going on. Well, I’ve been working pretty much none stop for the last 3 days and keeps going. No coffee, and I have been sleeping well, but it seems like it is not enough. Some people have to organize their time better if they are going to set limits and then throw the blame around and have others work over-over-time.

Another sad thing, the current infrastructure can’t handle what we already have, and they are talking not only adding more systems, but more projects with out looking at what needs to be expanded, build redundancies, etc. We are drowning on an overwhelming need for what we can not provide.

Amongst all the things to do, and I’m stuck in the office on Saturdays. Like they told me when they offered the job, that I would work Saturdays, well, here I am.

Anyway, for the wedding, just a few more things to do, by the way, if anyone has any songs they wouldn’t mind sharing, please do so. I’m in charge of the music and I have to put a playlist together. 2 Months, RSVP are now starting to come in.

Going to try relax later and play some, and then maybe do some more work on Chapter III. I’m actually feeling like I can be productive in that front. Sadly that is not the case in other places.

I just re-wrote chapter 2 of Silver, a bit happier with it, since now it has more then one purpose. It fills in not only the stage but some aspects of a character. Also working on chapter 3 now, going to actually get the story really started here, not sure, since I feel I’m dealing with a real thin line that I don’t want to break, but get passed.

Also working on capturing a VHS to digital for friend. First time I do something like that in years.

Wedding, 2 months and a few days to go. Jaro will be sending the invitations today. Getting quite nervous now. Wondering what we need to thing about, like sitting arrangement or the mechanics of the thing.

Had a meeting for the production stuff last week. It didn’t go as expected, the drafts I wanted were not done, but the meeting went rather well, I think even better then the previous one. The feeling that we can have fun with it is rekindle.

Working on brining back the former content. Meanwhile using the opportunity to fix/add/remove stuff.
