Work is kind of fun, now that I don't have to talk to customers anymore. I like going to work.
All I do is sit in front of my two computers (sark and vertigo) and generate large amounts of
webpage. The result of the last few weeks of work, the new aloha.net webpage
should be going up this wednesday. It may, or may not, depending on whether they find some horrendous error that
is common throughout all of the pages. Anyway, if you clicked on that link and saw a stupid picture of leaves,
that's not it. Hurgh. In my spare time, I'm also putting together a new version of my home pages. It's slow going,
but at least it doesn't look like it was put together in 10 minutes anymore. Someday I will have a higher paying job
somewhere else. Hopefully in Seattle.

Seattle? |
Seattle, because that's where the band is. Today as I
write this I'm trying to change my strings. The last time I changed a string on this guitar is
right after we played at the groove in Hawaii, because I broke my A string during our 'encore'.
Man, that must have looked really stupid. I haven't changed all my strings at once since two shows before that one.
These are some pretty darned old strings. So, I'm trying some new strings, Brand name "DR". They are "hand wound" and the
totals of the gauges used to wrap the .046 string is actually .047. "The total is less than the sum of its parts" goes the
blurb on the box. I'm not sure how that is supposed to motivate me to buy these. They might as well have put "Wow, these are really expensive!" on it.

I lost my clue |
So anyway, for the last week or so I hadn't seen Nate, and I started wondering
where he was. Was he really sick or something? Had he finally got fed up with conditions in tech support? Nope. He
went back to Hawaii. He's on vacation. However, thanks to unnamed
online journals based in Hawaii, I know when he got there, and I know when his vacation was REALLY supposed to start...
Ah well. Ed has left Tech Support. He has been offered a job in San Jose for 50K a year. Chad has left his job in Hawaii...
he got hired for a similiar amount in San Jose. I'm going to change my coworkers page so that it shows the
interesting people
I know, rather than just my co-workers. The only people from Hawaii still in Tech Support are Nate and Steve.
If Ed gets that job and he moves to San Jose, I shall be left alone in this two bedroom apartment. That means a two
person rent on one person's wages. Either I get a raise, or I move into Steves house, or I move into a tiny little apartment
on my own. I sort of want to go with the alone one, being around other people is draining.
Sometimes, maybe, I start feeling like I will be alone for the rest of my life, and that I will never be
close to anyone again. Those are pretty terrible feelings, kind of like being hungry for the rest of your life.
But I can dismiss them as biological urges. If being alone didn't feel awful, there would not be very many humans around,
now would there? I'm very good at rationalizing things.
