Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeTN voted down recognizing Civil Unions. Morons. I understand that their reasoning is more economic (employers required to cover spouse, tax breaks, etc – concerns over people just ‘declaring civil union’ to beat the system) than moral but if we’d redo the health system and other things in the united states it wouldn’t matter.

This Morning
Woke at 5am with no alarm and went right back to sleep until 6:15. Now in the office and ready to bang keys! I want to get home to my family. I want to take them to the zoo all day tomorrow. Of course, if I were the project manager, I’d want my programmer to stay on one more day. If they go there, I may do a sell on them testing Friday (lower cost) and me returning Monday to help further testing and make corrections. I’d drive up and back in one day.
Last Night
Got thrown a bone and dropped into the wrong mindset. Allowed myself a dinner of sushi with a slice of chocolate cake for desert. The desert was quite a waste of money.
Got started on my proposal!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeThis is the hardest time of day for me to concentrate but I’d managed to get myself in a groove. Was thinking “shit, if I keep this pace up I’ll kill this work off by lunch tomorrow, test all afternoon and be home by 10 pm tomorrow night”. So my wife drops a fucking bomb on me and now I can’t concentrate enough to even remember why I am here. For that matter I no longer give a shit why I am here because its all rather pointless.
I think I’m going to quit for the day and go cry in a park.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeTommy is wacky out of control and I’m 3 hours away from being able to help. By the time I got there the situation would be totally different. This is why I hate working away from the house. I should be there to help.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeIn trying to brainstorm and help my 13 year old boy find something to occupy his time, I had these words to my wife:
This is hard. When I was 13 I just wanted to be out riding my bike. I wanted to explore. I wanted to be in the woods. I wanted to make things.
I’d ride my bike down to the levee and we’d play in Lake Pontchatrain or go out on the docks and check the crab traps. We’d go to the end of the airport runway and lie on the grass and watch 747s take off and land 50-10 feet over our heads.
We’d take BB guns out in the woods and shoot at dragon flies, birds and rabbits.
My wife responses with a sad but current view:
most of the things you did would get me arrested for child neglect

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeToday the Supreme Court considers removing the words “Under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance. Many people don’t realize that these words were added in 1954 “after a campaign by the Knights of Columbus.”
I heard this on NPR this morning. Now reading the text is not sufficient. As a matter of fact, I’d recommend not reading the text at all; close your eyes and imagine Red Skelton on the stage speaking to you. You must turn up your speakers and listen to Red Skelton deliver this commentary on the Pledge of Allegiance.
I personal view is that the separation of church and state should have the pledge revert to its pre-1954 state without the words “under God.”

This Morning
Trying to get a whole bunch of computer stuff done. I said proposal last night “helll or high water” I guess exhaustion doesn’t fit into “hell” or “high water.” Set the alarm for 5am but didn’t get up until 6:30am. I am in the client office and if my laptop won’t cut the mustard I am just going to step over the boundary and use their machines to get this proposal written (off the clock of course).
Tim has me interested in Blogshares so I need to budget some time for a signup and a little recreational time playing with it.
Last Night
I had a really good time cooking my first vegan meal. It was delicious! By the time I was done cooking, our first guest had to leave so the guitar playing was very short but I did have the pleasure of getting them started on Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here.
