Once you complain about it be slow or boring at work, the next day is going to ultra-hectic. Why can’t the work fairies just keep the pace going smooth, steady, and laid back. I don’t want it dead slow, but I also don’t 10 things to go wrong at once. It’s been nonstop since my shift started. It’s finally calmed down though but for a while there every couple of minutes something else would go down. For those of you that don’t know what my job is. Here is the breakdown:

I sit in a dark room and stare at monitors. When something breaks I have to do the first level of diagnostics on it. Figure out what broke and why it’s broke. I then have to contact the correct people to fix the broken problem. After that(Which sometimes is the hardest part of the job) I’ve got to type of nifty little emails to the office to inform them of what’s broke and if known, how long it’s going to be down for. So far this doesn’t sound too bad does it? But when 5 things break at a time, that’s 5 things I’ve got to troubleshoot, if I’m lucky I can call just one or two departments to get it fixed, and then 5 emails to send out. Plus then I’ve got to follow up on what was done to correct the problems with those 5 things or what the status is of the problem, and then send out even more emails.

Now, today, things just kept breaking. Now they are seeming alot better though, so lets how I can get that smooth, steady, and laid back pace for the rest of the day, not the slow drawn out or fast panic attack pace that we’ve had lately.

FACT OF THE DAY”….

The average blue whale produces over 400 gallons of sperm when it
ejaculates, but only 10% of that actually makes it into his mate. So 360
gallons are spilled into the ocean every time one unloads, and you wonder
why the ocean is so salty…..pass it on

According to figures there are 11700 blue whales left

Lets say that 1/2 are males

And let’s say that only 1/2 of them are lucky enough to get laid once a year.

That means that 2925 of them are getting it on a year. Which equals 1,053,000 gallons of blue whale sperm being added to our oceans a year.

Just to put this into perspective, there is 326,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of water on this planet with 97.3%(317198000000000000000 gallons) of it in our oceans. Lets say that the general make up of blue whale sperm stays in the ocean for 100 years. That means right now there is 100,053,000 gallons of the stuff floating around. Or….

Browsing through a friend of a friends journal and found this cool link. I just had to share this with everyone in my friends list also. Check out the bubble cam at: http://www.andieandmike.org/bubblecam-push.stm

This allows you to watch a web cam and blow bubbles at the same time… Ohh yeah..

Got a few questions for you all…

Where do you mostly Live Journal from? Work or Home?

When you are livejournaling, do you sit at the screen refreshing your friends list anxiously awaiting a new post by someone?

My answers are easy, I usually only livejournal from work and I am constantly refreshing waiting for friends to post.

I’ve been in my negative/upset mood lately again. Just generally upset with everything and how it’s going. The usual shit for anybody who knows me. Someone today though ordered me to get over it and do something about it so I’ve decided not to let this mood go on much longer. To correct the situation I applied for my teacher certification for Media Specialist and Computer Science. I’ve also made it a goal to quit putting off the masters and get my application in by the end of the week for that program.

I’m also going to start looking into some more hobbies. I’ve been doing my geocaching lately but I need more that that. I’ve always wanted to take Martial Arts but I need to find a Kung Fu school that has classes on tuesday and thursday mornings because I don’t want to take time away from the wife. I’m also thinking about taking some ballroom dancing classes with her.

BTW, if you guys notice that by the end of the week I haven’t commented in here that I’ve mailed off my applications or I haven’t signed up for anything fun, please come flog me.

And Tomo I hope this post had enough links for you.

It’s wierd how no matter how hard you try to break free from the circle jerk, the circle jerk will find you…

What I’m referring to is the whole 7 degrees of seperation, deja-vu, and all other wierd coincidence things such as two friends of mine randomly meeting each other in a far off place.

I refer to this as the circle jerk of life because it seems that we are constantly travelling in this moving circle where at certain points we are far away from things, people, and situations but you are almost guaranteed to come back to the other side of the orbit sometime and become entwined with those same people, things, and situations again.

I guess it has to do with the original circumstances that brought you into, lets say point a on the circle, never go away. So even though you attempt to move to the oposite side of the circle, say point b, your circumstances and self is still there and that draws you in orbit back to point a.

Someone posted something today that got me thinking, how would people judge/know me if they only know me by the sum of my blogs? Put that with pengie’s post about how well or not as well he knew people on his friends list and one could be genuinely concerned about how people might think of you based off of your live journal.

In my journal, I rant and rave on anything that moves me at the moment. These momentary posts and rants may not make up my core system of beliefs and values that make me who I am and very few people, sometimes not even myself, know me well enough to know what the core is all about. The idea that I might be being judge or getting conceptions of me out there that are not necessarily true to heart is a bit scary.

I guess though I do this livejournal mostly for myself and I invite you friends and non-friends and somewhat-friends to peer into my life hoping that you understand the complexities of a person go beyond the sum of all my blogs.
