Work and silliness

  • Apr. 3rd, 2008 at 1:38 PM

Well, I've been quiet here a while, I know... but I have to say it's mostly due to work. It's kept me fairly frazzled, and my concentration is more or less shot at this time. It will get better, heck I'm working out more and generally getting my life back on track. Even my emotional life is getting better.

One of the decisions I've come to is that I definitely need to change industries. The customer service/phone support thing is killing me. So I'm in the process of saving $1500 to purchase the proper tools to do Airframe & Propulsion Mechanic school at one of the local community colleges. Is this the career I want? Probably not, but at least it will be a good interim career (read, makes more money than I make now) while I head to school to actually get a degree in what I want.

Makes sense, neh?

Now for the silliness part:

You will be famous for writing a national bestseller



You are very observant and tend to be the wallflower at parties. You are intuitive and know just how to communicate everything that you are feeling to those around you.

Monday Meme: Metaphysics!

  • Jan. 21st, 2008 at 9:27 AM
self
Stolen from [info]evulkoneko



Your Score: The Taoist


You scored 30 Materialism and 70 Phenomenology!



The Way is flux. The Way is order. The Way is Chaos. And if you do it right, the Way is you. You have a good balance of the material and phenomenological realms in your personal experiences, and see reality as a holistic set of interlocking systems, constantly changing, constantly supporting or resting on one another. The Tao (and the Buddhist sect it inspired, Zen) isn't about getting on with it, it's about realizing there's no it to get on with. Thinkers you may agree with: Lao-tzu (duh) Thinkers that may challenge you: One is all.

Gah. Can't believe I fell ill yesterday. That was *not* a pretty sight. Couldn't even make it in to work. At least I still have my job. Not 100% today either. Note to self, be *very* careful when eating certain things.

Picked up a copy of No Plot? No Problem! from the library. That means I'm going to be gearing up for NaNo this year. Hopefully I'll finally finish a novel for the first time. I've had several false starts, as have most writers. I feel good about this though. I think the fact that I never set a deadline before will help.

[info]silvarastar had a cute little 'quiz' type thing on her journal, and I thought I'd give it a shot myself. The results were... interesting. :)

Your home is a

Gamer's Mansion

Your kitchen is stocked with chips, dips, and assorted caffeinated beverages. There's a pantry with emergency backup caffeinated beverages. You also have some breakfast cereals in there, but you haven't had breakfast since last Spring. Your master bedroom has blankets printed with images of Mario and Link. Your study includes unread copies of various gamer magazines, each purchased for the free demo CDs. One of your garages holds your collection of ferraris, and is measured in acreage.

Your home also includes a guest wing and private quarters for your servants. Your guests enjoy your collection of every console and associated game ever made. Except the Intellivision -- those controllers drive them NUTS. Outside is your hedge maze and gardens, meticulously tended by a team of world-class botanists.

Below is a snippet of the blueprints:

More later, probably.
