04:29 pm - A Goal Finally Completed
After must studying, sacrifice, trials, and tribulations, I have finally completed a goal that started about 3 years ago. I passed my second test today and I now have a CompTIA A+ certification. Hurray!!!!!
*whew*
Funny how not being able to keep your current job if you don't get certified can motivate a person. At least they paid for the tests, which had been previous stumbling block for me.
I'm going to take a nap and then start catching up on all the work waiting for me here in the new house.
*sigh* ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) shancara has a long list of things she has been very patiently waiting for me to start on. *smirk*
Oh, and I thought I would point out to those who have mentioned that I only post when things are bad and not when they are good, I've posted a good thing! *nyah*
Random Thought
This winter I experienced the second weird weather event of my life. The first one happened back in my college days when I watched lightning during a snow storm (and snowball fight). As Lewis Black put it, they don't even mention this stuff in the Bible; how scary is that! The second was having to scrape fog off my windshields one morning. Frozen Fog; sounds like a British dessert.

06:37 pm - Weather
Today I watched from shancara's window a person mowing the lawn while snow was falling. I can add this to my list of witnessed weather oddities.
1. Watching lightning during a heavy snow.
2. Scrapping fog off of my car windshield in the morning.
3. Mowing while snowing.
As Lewis Black commented once on lightning during a snow, they didn't even mention this stuff in the Bible!

04:40 pm - Whew! It wasn't my fault.
So, today during lunch I get a call from our manager asking us to come in at 2:30 for a team meeting. Immediately I start thinking, "Ok, what did I do wrong? What got screwed up? Did someone us screw-up and we're going to get lectured?", because..., well because I'm Kyle. My teammates had the same curiousity as to why the sudden team meeting.
Well, the meeting was about empty coffers. The PO that is paying for our services has run out of money and the replacement PO won't be up for approval until the Oct. 17th Columbus Public School Board meeting. So starting tomorrow I have 2 weeks of "vacation". But I was smiling during all this because I was so relieved that I hadn't done anything wrong or that our team hadn't done anything wrong. Why? Again, because I'm Kyle. *sigh*
If the new PO is approval, then our contract will run from Oct 18th until the end of December. Still shaky, but still work.
Well, I've updated my journal. I think I'll have some time to catch up on alot of journal reading....

05:53 pm - FYI.. How not to spell...
This one recently appeared on a service ticket for a special computer lab. What they meant to type was Aerodynamics computers, but instead it was entered as Areo Dinamicts.... *sigh*
Don't type and talk to the user at the same time, I guess.

11:27 pm - Update on my sister part 2
Just wanted to let people know what's going on with my sister's health. Here is copy of an email from my dad.
Sunny just called. She is feeling better and sounded much better. She saw a different Dr. yesterday. She (the Dr,) is not sure she has been having seizures. Said they did not fit the usual pattern, but wasn’t sure what was causing them. Took her off the tegretol she was on that was causing her almost every side effect that could happen. Dr. suggested Sunny might try going without any meds for a few weeks to see what was happening to her and she has decided to do that. Dr. was not happy with some of the meds she had been taking so maybe this will help find out what was causing problems and what problems really need to be looked at. Thanks for your prayers. It sounds like she found a DR. who really took an interest in her case and is trying to help her.

01:13 pm - Happy Birthday
Today is my 40th birthday!!!!!
*sigh*
I've been going through my version of a mid-life crisis and reflection. Thank God I have friends who help me see the positive.
So my birthday gift for reaching 40 is all the good friends I have (and the neutral friends, but not the evil ones). :-)

06:18 pm - Meme from Shancara
TYPE P
You scored 62 imagination, 50 confidence, 54 dominance, and 58 generosity! | You are a KINKY, CONFIDENT, DOMINANT lover who prefers to give.
This means that:
You like relatively kinky sex, and you have the great imagination that will always keep your partner guessing and excited! There's no getting bored with you around, you could never settle for dull sex, you want something fun and new all the time. You aren't afraid to try out anything you hear about. You might just be an intelligent lover who needs to be mentally engaged, or perhaps you have some dirty dark secret kinky desires, but either way, you're never boring.
You are pretty confident in bed. This means that you know you can please your lover. Maybe you've read a lot of sex manuals, or have the experience from previous lovers, or just tend to be skilled at whatever you get your hands on, but you're good and you know it. You can really get results and know that you have pure talent, so you won't be hiding away shy, pretending to be all innocent. Your partners love your naughty self assurance, you don't hesitate and this makes you a sensational lover.
You tend to be dominant in bed, so you prefer to be the one giving the orders than taking them. Maybe you like the power, or just like controlling the pace, perhaps your partner likes to be dominanted, or maybe you get a kick out of the whole master/slave relationship, it could be something as small as liking to be on top during sex and tie up your lover to tease them, or it could be as kinky as them having to ask your permission to do anything at all. Either way, you are firm and you enjoy it!
You prefer to give than recieve. This makes you a very unselfish lover, devoted to the needs of your partner rather than your own. You get your pleasure from seeing them get theirs, you are a model sex partner. I'm sure plenty of people would love to have someone like you in bed with them! Remember though that if your partner gets pleasure from returning the favour it's okay to let them, they might love giving as much as you do!
WE SUGGEST YOU:
get into some slightly more hardcore fantasy territory. Go for bondage in a not so light and fluffy way and discover just what you really like. Want to play master/slave games? Want to be tied up or tie someone up, in just enough discomfort that they don't quite relax? Want to try a threesome? Maybe you'd even like to try out sado-masochism. It's your call. Whatever you do, unleash that kinky thing you've always really wanted to try and give it a go, you're a great lover, and you know it, up for anything, generous, imaginative, confident, and happy to go for what you want, so enjoy. |  |
My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 21% on imagination | | You scored higher than 8% on confidence | | You scored higher than 29% on dominance | | You scored higher than 32% on generosity |

11:44 pm - Update on my sister
Dad called me this evening to let me know that Sunny had another attack today. Her husband Audon was talking with her on the phone after his shift was done and could tell that her speech as slurred. So he stopped at her workplace to check on her. When he arrived Sunny was surprise to see him because she thought that she had just got off the phone with him. They took her to a hospital where they more tests, such as an EEG. They have ruled out strokes and brain atrophy. They think she may be having seizures of some form and will be doing further testing. *sigh*

10:17 pm - Family News Update
Just got an email from my dad yesterday with the following info about my sister Sunny:
Sunny called this evening and she almost passed out at work. She was dizzy, had slurred and slow speech, and others were concerned about her health. Their health center doctor put her on a swivel chair and pushed her to the elevator and out to the street, put her in a cab and sent her to the Emergency Room. They diagnosed that she had brain atrophy. This is similar to a stroke but not quite there. She is not to go back to work until after she has tests at the Hospital on Monday. If it happens while she is at home, she is to get to the hospital or call 911. Please keep her in your prayers that the medical people can determine the cause of her problem and treat it so that condition does not reoccur.
*sigh*
I have a 5 day weekend, whether I wanted one or not. School is on spring break and the offices are closed Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. So we don't work and we don't get paid. *sigh* At least I'll have time to work on getting ready for my move at the end of the month. This time I got a truck sooner and from a reliable place, my storage company. So now I drive over to pick up the truck, drive it a short distance to my storage unit, pick up a desk and chair and misc, drive home, load up, drive, unload, and then return truck, with possible items for storage. And I'll have the truck for the whole day.
Have I mentioned how much I hate moving? Guess I need to learn how to move and adjust.

05:48 pm - And the verdict is......
I saw my doctor today and the diagnosis of why my voice has been hoarse all week is laryngitis. He gave me a note that says I'm restricted to No Talking for 1 week. *sigh* Guess I picked the wrong week to be team leader. When I stopped at Marc's to get my cough medicine prescription filled, I picked up some notebooks so that I can start my wonderful week of writing everything down to communicate. So if I don't answer my phone, please leave a message. All this time people have been working to get me to talk, and now I have to be silent. *sigh*

10:32 am - Agent 24 has been found!
Yesterday I came home and discovered that my work badge was no longer on my shirt. Rats! I have one of the few surviving badges from the start of the project. My badge number is 24 and does not have my name on it, so there are several teachers and staff who know me only as Agent 24. :-) After checking my car and home I still couldn't find it and started thinking where it might have fallen off at the school. Today I checked in the school office; no badge turned in. Then I started checking rooms and found the badge in the room I thought it would most likely be located. Yea!!! I have my identity back!

08:49 pm - Where is my bucket of quarters?
Today I woke up with a sore throat and a rather hoarse voice. Talking was rough. So today was one of those days you regret being made team leader. As I have one of the two Nextels for our project, I'm liason between the site and the server team. A couple of times I had to hand it to a coworker to talk for me. *sigh* Then there was all the talking I had to do with the teachers and staff, especially when they aren't happy we just removed all their installed programs by re-imaging it. Fortunately, it's really not my responsibility or problem.
So now my voice sounds like one of those old ladies who chain-smoke and sit at the slots with a bucket of quarters. *sigh*

11:39 pm - No good deed
No good deed ever goes unpunished.
Why do I think I know better than others? Why do I try to be so helpful? Why can't I follow other people's directions? I screwed up and I'm down. The cold doesn't help it either. I feel like I keep disappointing people.
Maybe sleep will help.
Maybe...
