sometimes i feel like i get in the habit of just writing the good things down. there are definitely some good opportunities ahead of me and i feel very good about who i am and where i’m going (at this particular moment in time). i miss my girl and i don’t hear from her that much. its strange, it makes me wonder, it makes me reminisce. of course, i feel like this is a test: i need to leave her alone, let her figure herself out, etc. not only that, but i feel like this is just right for me – i need to get myself on track. if she were here now i wouldn’t have time to sit in my undies and hack away on some PHP in front of my three monitors. i wouldn’t be able to sleep on the floor in front of my oversized TV and watch seinfeld for an hour before i go to bed. if i were to script my life, i wouldn’t change a thing. i know its hardest to remember how amazingly tailored and perfected life is when you need to remember it most. so i’m lucky i can “see” it now. my hands shake a little as a write this. its as if i reach a t where i am communicating directly from my soul.

Check out Matthew’s or Zack’s. In other news, I met with Art and Brandon and they want to have three more classes in the next two months. A little intimidating; I might buy a laptop (from Art or new) as part of my investment. I told Kaya he was moving to Pete’s team; at first he acted hesitant but I know he was really excited and some strict words from me wore down his act. I’m sad to see the potential go but he wasn’t applying himself for me anyway.

i was recently approached and told that a member of my team would be leaving for another group. at first i was annoyed and later irritated. as time went on, however, i upped the ante. not only would a member of my team lead, but so would a whole area of responsbility. the bad with the good. i’m hoping i look back on this decision as the time at which my team’s objectives became clearly defined and we started to ascend.

I just got asked to do another Linux class.. and in other news, Zack has an interview at Microsoft! It would be awesome to have him in the area and I know he could really succeed under Bill’s expert guidance.

Bailey hasn’t given me any loving before I go to sleep for the last two weeks! Her schedule seems a little strange; she seems to be spending a little more time inside than usual (she even used the litter box twice). Now that I have some time, I need to take her to the vet and get a webcam so I can spy on her. ;P
