0810
Being on a diet is kind of killing my energy level I think...for the past few days I've come home just drained. Last night I was crashed out in bed for like 2 hours before getting up to finish tweaking/installing/troubleshooting this new(er) motherboard (I've had it forever but just recently got a new BIOS chip that it needed to function). But, on the bright side, I have lost about 3 to 4 pounds already. Yesterday I kind of cheated and had some cheese and a little Beef sausage---couldn't help myself, it was from one of those little gift boxes I got as a xmas gift. Shot my fat/saturated fat levels for the day through the roof...Which made the nap useful actually cuz I wasn't hungry afterwards--so I skipped dinner to make up for it. God I am beginning to sound like so obsessed teenager, no? Cooworker approached me yesterday with a proposition...No, not that kind of proposition. He's got a drivers class he needs to take tomorrow for his Hummer license (boy is an E5, been in the army like four years and doesn't have any sort of HMMV/LMTV license? god damn!) but he's also slated for staff duty. So he offered to pull my gate guard on Christmas AND pay me $20.00. Sweet deal no? Let's just hope that this Article 15 I'm doing the initial reading on this morning isn't going to conflict. Hopefully the fucker just waives his right to counsel (he just got an article 15 in october for the same damn type of violation and all counsel does is explain his rights to him a bit more in depth anyway), and we do the 2nd reading today as well. Anyway, yeah...having christmas off would be SO nice. I would LOVE to go diving that day. Shit...prolly gonna do a LOT of diving in the next few weeks--we are *supposed* to go on half day schedule starting on Monday and there are a LOT of days off for christmas/new years. Must make a mental note to pick up a shit load of tanks before the scuba locker closes for what will probably be like four or five days come the 22nd or so. Got frickin hit up HARD yesterday on my way out of the office...Human Rights, Law of Land Warfare, Code of Conduct, Standards of Conduct, UCMJ, and Ethics...I hafta do a class on each of those topics within the next couple weeks...maybe as early as next wednesday. We're talking a good 3 hours of class that I have nothing prepared for. Why am I so not surprised though? Is it because I took a little incentive yesterday and predestined myself by starting in on the new 2002 Operational Law Handbook I just got from 1st Group at Ft. Lewis? Or is it because I've sat on my ass long enough and now that I have something to do with this chapter separation board coming up that I've had to prepare paperwork for and coordinate, may as well pile on just that much more while we're at it? Eh. lovely is life. Great, so now all of a sudden my computer is dragging ASS. I had hoped the new MB would eliminate the dragging the new hard drive seemed to eb causing...perhaps not. God Damnit! I'm beginning to lose my patience with this thing. It's got a really fucked up manner at lookign at the hard drive the OS is on, making it a REAL pain to open up for searching through. Iit took me forver to even get it running at ALL. Then it took me over a day to get the video working properly. Now it's dragging and I just now find out the audio hardware isn't working EITHER. jebus what's a man got to do? For all the supposed benefits I'm getting more headaches than they're worth...About ready to pretty much just throw the fucking thing away. At the rate it's going it's going to be worthless as far as digital audio input goes...I have ZERO warm fuzzies about it handling that chore accurately. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr current mood: frustrated
Previous Nothing on this date last year |
