Day: June 14, 2004

Overall a good day. My cell phone even turned cooperative for a bit. I promised myself some reading. I’m going to do that now.

A thunderstorm has rolled in. I should have had the top back on the Jeep. I’d kill for some materials to build a carport or garage. The sound of the rain is pleasant. Let it wash away the pains of the day.

Roll in rain,

to clear my brain

Dust be gone,

let me see again

Mists rise,

invigorate my soul

Fog of the morn,

run from my mind

With a glimpse,

of tomorrow’s bright sunshine

I love cooking dinner for my family! Particularly when dinner is breakfast. We cook 17 eggs to feed our family! I don’t think most families would comprehend buying that many much less preparing that many in one sitting. How about 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of milk every 1-2 days?

I feel like we are in a movie!

For concentration, the soundtrack from “Rushmore.” Brilliant film. Brilliant soundtrack by Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo)! Wow his credits rock!

Decided just to pay the ticket despite my belief that in principle I was conned. Instead of wasting time drying downtown to pay it I will mail it. I write the check, fold it in half and “rip!” it tears. What is Murph trying to tell me here?! Is this a sign that I should appeal?

Ugh! Such a typical example of how everything turns into something more than it should be!

Live and Learn, Karmically something has to turn! –me, 2004

I made my invoice but my software won’t print without crashing. I’m also running out of time to waste half a %^$#( day driving downtown to pay or appeal a parking ticket. If I don’t do it today things get nasty.

So I get my invoice for services done last week put together and try to print it and my software blows up.

Wow! I completed a task!

Estimate faxed.

Email tech support completed.

Cell phone has got to be traded in today!!

Note: Half the ^%$%&(* day is gone and I haven’t done anything productive!

today i feel old

I really feel like I’m frequently cursed. Everything seems to take so much more effort for me. My cellphone is very non-responsive..like the software is low on memory. It has also quit making noises. I just did a test call and it doesn’t ring anymore. I double check all settings and the volume is set the loudest it can be.

So I pass on troubleshooting that and continue to make my phone call to compusa. The number has been changed or disconnected.

Does problem and problem after problem happen to other people? I thought our society is supposed to be advancing. Great! We live longer but we spent more of our lives wasting our time! I’d rather have a shorter life with less headaches!

The wife is up and its time to….tech support.

Yesterday I declared it a day of no electronics and we got more work and play out of the boys than we have in ages. Today, Noah has already put in over an hour of play on his Gameboy and already he is walking around like a drooling zombie.
