Thus Far

It looks like I’m switching majors again.

I don’t know how I feel about that.

This time im going to major in psychology.

Google Reader is dying. Rather, being murdered. It wasn’t perfect, but it was as good as it was going to get for a web-based RSS reader.

I have determined that I need to work on internal stability. There are too many things that I have conflicted feelings about.

I’m supposed to have goals, but I don’t really know how to do that, anymore. For the longest time, my furthest goal was “go to grad school”, and I left it open after that.

At this point I don’t believe that is going to happen.

Maybe I’m having trouble graduating from the CS department because I don’t want to be a programmer.

Being a programmer would be substantially better than working as a datacenter tech.

If nothing else, the hours would be better.

I can’t keep working on the weekend.

I’d say it will eventually drive me insane, but that already happened once, and it wasn’t even work related.

I can’t get up so fucking early and stay here 12+ hours.

Then get up and do it again tomorrow.

If I was saving my money or putting it towards something productive maybe it wouldn’t be so bad.

I need to reset some values I’ve been calculating with.

Recalibration, if you will.

$14/hour to skim emails generated by machines.

I am a machine.

But not the right kind of machine for this job.

I need to develop work ethic.

I need to develop software.

I need to start doing homework.

I’m going to watch the Dr. Who premier tonight.

I’m going to watch the Game of Thrones season premier tomorrow.

Aside from those two television programs, I’m out of things to look forward to.

Maybe I should look for a therapist again.

Should have brought something smokable to work. Of course, if I did, there would be pressing work to be done and I would just be stressing out over an imaginary possibility.

There might be work in need of doing.

In fact, I know there’s a ticket waiting for me to perform it’s task and close it.

And now a delivery.

Gotta switch out a motherboard or something.

I think that the problem with my tivo blanking out every so often is really a problem with my monitor: it’s almost doing the same thing with my laptop, but a little bit differently, leading me to suspect that the frame frequency of the output signals from both the TiVo and my laptop/Ubuntu/thunderbolt/displayport/hdmi contraption are incompatible with the buffer for the scaler chip in the display (which would make sense, since its primary design is for handling 3D signals.

Do I apologize for the nasty comment I left on TiVo’s Facebook page when I blamed the problem entirely on them for selling underpowered hardware?
