“I’m going to go home and cry into my pillow because I have failed Gasca” was my vote for working this Saturday. I wanted to take the day off... so I voted to not come in.
I want a day off. Plain and simple.
So anyway..
I guess other than that.. I am waiting for my Nokia 770 to come in the mail... it’s my present to myself for saving and all the hard work I’ve been doing... it’s a tablet PC that runs Linux. I hope it works as good as I want it to. I’ve wanted one for a couple years now... and for $120 I thought it was an awesome deal... considering the cheapest I can find it anywhere else is $250...
I’ve been happy. Working a lot... I get along with all the guys here... my manager is awesome... I’ve been able to talk with some of the devs, and I think I have a chance at sweet talking them into putting me on the list to become a FTE... but who knows.
If this doesn’t work, I’ll have a chance to go work for a search engine company when my contract is up... so I don’t know exactly what I’ll do yet, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out.
And yea... I guess that’s it... I need to do my laundry again... I work all the time... and I’m happy about that.
Anyway... that’s an update for now.

This is funny, watch the star wars episode on robot chicken via Adult Swim...
anyway... just as an update... working lots of hours... long days... the crunch is coming... which means we will start working even more... including Sundays...
I love work, but it is a lot of hours... I’m still happy though... especially when I get that check...
Anyway, I gotta get back to work.

Last night... Scott asked me why to get a 360... I told him a few reasons... but really, I think the best system will be the Nintendo Wii. It’s cool, with the controller you swing like a golf club... or a baseball bat... or like you’re bowling... or playing tennis...
And it’s a lot of fun.
I guess they recommend that people take a lot of breaks while they are playing too... so parents should like it if their kids get a Wii instead of any other gaming system.
This is to all you mothers out there reading this... just so you know.

This seems to be a good number of games on the 360... maybe it will help improve numbers... but then again... I think Halo 3 will be one of the best...
