Gotta love labs. I just learned how the internet worked.

It's like a post office and a pizza delivery service!

Oh well. I'd probley come up with something like that if I had to teach people with examples. Oh how I crave an advanced Web development class. I think it's time to start pouring myself into the computer science class list.

Blah, Irritated. I'm hungry and I guess Chris didn't give me my ID
card back last night! I won't see him until late this evening.

Ok, I created a quick video of my dorm room, so those inquiring minds can see what it looks like. You can click here to view it. [ REQUIRES QUICKTIME. 5.96 MEG ]

I think the title says it all.

It didn't take nearly as much effort to pack my car as I thought it would. I even had more space than anticipated. However, I am glad that I shipped so much of my possessions to Oklahoma. There would have been no-way-in hell that I could have fit all that in the Cougar. Damn small, but mmm fast, cars!

I think there's going to be a goodbye dinner type thing tonight, and then I'm going to Greenbay to say goodbye to Heather and go to the movies with her and Carrie. We didn't say goodbye to each other yesterday, since we anticipated seeing each other today, so I better go do it or we will be mad at each other.

It's odd quitting a job. I've never done it before. I've only had three jobs in my life. The first one was working for my high school, and I didn't really quit. It was a student job, and when I graduated I, of course, could not keep the job. Then I was laid off from CWIS last year.

They were on the ball with removing my security for computer systems at Humana. I tried logging into my Humana Webmail this morning, and sure enough my account doesn't exist. But I still have my Humana badge and security card. I wonder if it works to get into the building! I might have to drop by tonight just to find out :)

It's funny, last night I kept waking up every two hours or so and I would think "is it morning yet?" and check my clock. I guess I was just really looking forward to today that I couldn't sleep. I was extremely tired last night and went to bed at 10:30 p.m., but was awake at 12:30 a.m., 2:45 a.m., 4:00 a.m., 6:30 a.m. (damn it, why couldn't I do that when I had to get up and go to work?) and again at 9:30 a.m., which I finally got up at. I woke extremely rested.

The night-before last I had a similar problem. I think I was excited for it to by my last day at work. I was tired at 10:30 p.m. again and was about to go to bed, but Ryan had got home then (back from Oklahoma) and he had Polly with him. I guess that woke me up. So I messed around a bit and before I knew it, it was 2:30 a.m. FUCK! I have to go to bed! heh, slept for about four hours and got up and went to work. I didn't really do much the entire day, but it is exhausting spending 10 hours somewhere and not really doing anything.

It was kind of funny. Yesterday, Meg had her one-on-one meeting with our supervisor yesterday. Stephanie had been telling everyone in their meetings that "you guys are going to have to pull together and rely on each other more. Since Heidi, Carmen and Daren are leaving, we no longer have the support structure to rely on." Heh, it's funny how much support I give vs everyone else considering I had only been there since November. There were tons of time that I was the only person that knew now to do a process or make the system do what you want. You'd think that would have gotten me a raise! (which I would have got next week if I had been there. I wonder what it would have been?)

Their one-on-one meeting apparently segwayed even more into how I'm leaving. Steph had asked Meg "How much work do you think Daren actually accomplished today?" heh. I did work. Some. But definatly not up to my usual standards for the past two days there.

This time tomorrow, I should be somewhere in the middle of Illinois. For the mean time, I can't get this song out of my head, so I guess I'll just go around today singing it to myself.


'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again

...

I'm tired of saying goodbye to people today. What is it about people trying to make you feel bad about leaving?

I hate goodbyes. I rather not do them.

Heather was mad, she called me a tease. "I'm mad at you, you moved up here and made us all friends and now you leave. Why do you have to leave? Especially to go so far away!"

*sigh*

Today is Nikki's Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

She's a whopping 10-days older then myself (she says it makes all the difference in maturity) pfft, is what I say to that :)

Jesus Christ man! Within minutes of posting the Bobba Fett article, I
had 3 comments! All because my links were toast, I was in the process
of fixing them though.

It makes me wonder how many people actually visit my site each day.

This one if for all you Star Wars lovers out there. This is a cool
video that I linked to from Fazed.net and sadly I'm geeky enough
to think the audio is good. So I stole the audio track and made an mp3
of it, which you can download here.

Enjoy!

Ok, as soon as I posted I got a reply to the e-mail that I sent
yesterday. I now know were I'm living at in Stout!

Ok, I called Residential
Life since I've been playing phone tag with my brother. They
hadn't moved me yet, since whoever they talked to at my brothers, when
they called, told them they didn't have a way of contacting me. Odd.

Anyway, since they didn't talk to me, they hadn't moved me yet, but
since I called them they went ahead and moved me to Stout Hall. I
don't know which room yet, I'll have to drop by Res. Life to find that
out when I get there. I'm giving up having a private bathroom, but I
gain space (i hope) and am closer to my classes. I also save over
$700.00 per semester, so I don't think I'll need more money to cover
tuition and fees now!

Not having a cell phone sucks and is really getting on my nerves. OSU
doesn't have a way to contact me since mine was turned off. They've
changed my room assignement but I don't know what to.

My brother called the house number but didn't leave a message for me
and said it wasn't a big deal, so I didn't bother calling back last
night when I found out about it.

I called my mom today to see what was up, since I hadn't talked to any
of them in a few weeks now. She told me about it, but she didn't know
what the room number was, only that my brother called her to see if
she had a new number for me or not.

So now I get to wonder where they moved me. Did I get moved to
another room in Bennett for some reason? Did I actually get a room in
Stout? I doubt I got Stout, since there were like 1500 people ahead
of me on the waiting list, for a floor of 40 rooms that had already
been filled.

Gah, I hate not knowing where I'm going to live. It stresses me, even
though I know I will have a room, I like to know where.

I -want- to get a cell phone. But do I really need it? Without it, I
won't have a single bill to deal with and can wait as long as I want
before getting a new job. If I would have got the job at OSU IT, then
I would have one already. But that fell through because of my class
schedule. I'll apply again for it next semester probley.

hah this is great. Sound required.

Papa Smurf, Can I Lick Your Ass?

Ralph Fiennes will play Lord Voldemort in HP

Little Mary was not the best student in Sunday School. Usually she slept through the class. One day the teacher called on her while she was napping, ''Tell me, Mary, who created the universe?''

When Mary didn't stir, little Johnny, an altruistic boy seated in the chair behind her, took a pin and jabbed her in the rear. ''God Almighty !'' shouted Mary and the teacher said, ''Very good'' and Mary fell back to sleep.

A while later the teacher asked Mary, ''Who is our Lord and Savior?'' But Mary didn't even stir from her slumber. Once again, Johnny came to the rescue and stuck her again. ''Jesus Christ!'' shouted Mary and the teacher said, ''Very good,'' and Mary fell back to sleep.

Then the teacher asked Mary a third question, ''What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?'' And again, Johnny jabbed her with the pin. This time Mary jumped up and shouted, ''If you stick that damn thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!''

The Teacher fainted.
