I hate everything…

Well, no, not really.
But isn’t it funny how the more tired you get, the more everything sucks.
I can find something wrong with just about anyone and everything right now, but tomorrow after I get a good night’s sleep, the world will look a lot better (I hope).
A week ago I sent an e-mail to a co-worker about how I couldn’t stand some decisions by upper management.
He didn’t respond till some hours later, after the the issue had been resolved and I had taken a short nap.
Telling him what made me mad seemed really trivial and pointless by the time I had a nap and time had past.
I guess my mom was on the right track when she’d get mad at Amy, Kara and I and just start counting, one, two, three, four….-eight, nine, ten, one, two…

Tired and thirsty

I’m tired and getting really thirsty.
But for some reason I’m still hacking away on this dang G4 to see if there’s someway around the Mac restore mess.
And for some reason the water cooler in the office is in pieces (not that I have a glass or bottle to drink out of) and I have no change to buy a soda.
I guess I’ll have to drive to a 24/7 convenience store and buy a big jug o’ water.

macs suck the big one

So I’m still working on this reinstall… because after I initialized the drive to get all the junk off – I discover someone didn’t save their restore disks. And apparently Mac G4s can only be restored by the specific disks that came with their computer. I have two sets of G4 software restore disks, but apparently neither came with this system. So I can either A. Say its not my problem and leave. B. Install OS X and inDesign since Quark won’t work with OS 9 and then have Beth upset because her computer’s not the same. or C. Spend all day tomorrow and maybe Monday trying to get the correct software restore disk – and still have more people mad at me.
Sounds like a no-win situation. Why am I doing this again?
My next job – I don’t know anything about computers. I never will again. If you can’t afford IT help, then the computers won’t be fixed, because I’m not volunteering any information that I know anything about computers.

Good meeting

I had a good meeting in Waxahachie, it lasted for about an hour or so. Things look promising. I spent the remainder of the afternoon driving around with Matt checking out the city and looking at some different properties we might be interested in.
Then I headed back to Waco and spent the evening hanging with Chris at the radio station watching the Stros get beat. Yeah that sucked. But we had a good time anyways.
Baylor lost to OU in double overtime as well.
But UT won big over Tech and UMHB won big over HSU.
So there’s always a rainbow somewhere.
Now I’m working at the Journal and doing a clean install on Beth’s computer (again).
I’m not sure if its the operating system or what (being that its a Mac – I’ll go with that), but I’m sure this is the 10th clean install I’ve done on a machine here in Belton in the last 2.5 years. And I think the third or fourth I’ve done on hers.
Gripes. I’m glad I don’t have to do that with my PC. I’d be in a world of hurt.
Well, back to James Taylor and watching progress bars.
