So, it’s been a while since I’ve last posted a journal. With my dying PC, I guess I was pre-occupied.

Well, the failing HDD finally gave out on me the other day. Luckily, I had enough sense to partition my working backup drive so I could easily install Windows to it temporarily without losing all my backups. I’m running off of it as we speak. Things are a little slower running off one drive, but it’s more than good enough for now. My new system will be here on the 17th, though I probably won’t be fully up and running until the 19th, or so. While parting my current system, Nexus, and using those extra parts to fill in the new one won’t be hard, getting all the little nit pick software that I’ve grown used to up and running will take some time. Honestly, before I even think about building Firefox on the new machine, I’m installing Steam and playing some DoD:S and CS:S online. I can’t wait to see how a 3700+ w/ 128mb 6600GT compares to my ancient P4 2.0gHz w/ 9600XT. It should be a nice step up for me. I’m all giddy as we speak.

Work has been, well, hectic. There are A LOT of new people and I wind up playing babysitter to most of them. I don’t mind, but it gets a little tiring after a while. Things were a lot easier when all I had to do was worry about myself. The thing that kills me most is how much responsibility gets placed on a part timer like myself.

On that note, yes, I am still a part timer. They still have no idea if they are opening up that Merch Senior position I want to go for, so I have to wait on that. If, after the holidays, they still haven’t decided, I’m going to see if I can work something out where I can be a morning full timer. Usually, you don’t get to specify when you work, but with everything I do at Regina, I really need the nights off and I’m hoping they will accomodate me. If not, well, I have some thinking to do.

Christa’s doing the schedules now since Everett is retarded with everything and anything. She intentionally put me and Toni to open together. Lol, it’s crazy how almost everyone so plainly sees how much I like this girl. Then again, it’s crazy how many people there talk to me now. I liked it when they feared me, though I do enjoy being more open with someone like Toni. It definitely makes things easier.

This post has been scatter brained. My mind is racing at like 100mph. I’ll leave you with one thought, though. Is it time to put down the shields and try to get close to someone again?

Update: I have to see what’s what, but apparently Christa’s scheduling wasn’t put through or something cause I only have 12 fucking hours this week. I’m definitely heading in tomorrow to see what the fuck is up with that.
