My Boss talked me down off the ledge. He’s going to let me change my job around so I don’t go crazy … er. More insane. On the upside I’m not a quiter and I’ll keep getting the awesome money and I get to rework my job so I feel better. I’m taking the weekend off and jetting to Indy for GenCon.

Well I sorta quit today.
I called up my old boss and asked if she had a job opening. She did and told me to talk to my current boss and see if it was cool if I changed jobs. I talked to my current boss and told him I’m fried and that my old boss had a job opening. He told me that he’ll need to work out some sort of deal with the old boss for support coverage but that he knew I’d been struggling to keep it together. He told me he hated to see me go and thanked me for my work. It is pretty much a sure thing that I’ll get a job with my old boss.
The pay loss is gonna be pretty bad. I also feel kinda crappy about not being able to cope but I think I was being asked to work to hard; not only for the pay but just personally.
However I’ll only be doing 1 job for the money instead of 5. If you look at it by percentage then this is awesome. Mostly the reason I’m doing this is that I won’t have the stress or the demand. 40 hours, 8 to 5 and not a bit more. The money is great for the job and the work is very easy. I’m depressed but i’ll get over that and the first month of good sleep and I’ll be great.

The housing market was in a slump until recently when the biggest mortgage financiers reported recorded losses and the market when from a slump to a flaming shit spiral. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae; yes that is the name of the two largest governmentally backed mortgage companies, are actually worth negative money. That means that if you sold everything they own off and fired everyone you’d still owe their creditors 5.8 billion dollars.
This along with the energy fucking nightmare ( crisis not being sufficient) suggests that the US is facing not just troubled times but a depression so massive that the the Great One we had 80 years ago will seem reasonable.
Greed and corruption plus short sighted good intentions and incompetent fumble fingered leadership is going to jettison our grand country into 3rd world status ripe for take over. Buy guns, ammo, and food folks. We are in for a heck of a ride. Especially if a majority of Americans don’t have skills that are independent on technology.
I’m glad I know how to raise and butcher animals. I need to learn some basic farming.
This would be the entropy side of being a discordian. The part that involves laughing as the system breaks down. Giggling as the law and order freaks watch the tatters of their civilization shred themselves because of mismanagement and abuse. Playing while everyone who can’t change and adapt cries “why me” and doesn’t do anything. Smiling a mirthless self-satisfied smile as balance reassert itself. We are coming to a time when we have to change, adapt and overcome our ignorances and pride.
Hail Eris!
I am once again burnt out on work. I just don’t have the impetus to get anything but the most trivial of chores done. Right now all I want to do is react to problems instead of working on any projects. ::sigh::
Once I get this major project done I can take a vacation. … so that I can leave this mess and have it still be here and worse when I get back. It’s like I live in a house with a bunch of other people and they have no responsibility to keep the house clean but I do. They’ll get angry at me if i don’t do the dishes while they are busy dirtying dishware.

I bought a pair of tactical shorts, tactical pants, a good belt, and a paddle holster for my glock. They are all awesome. I can highly recommend Tru-spec clothes. They are well put together and functional. Blackhawk makes an acceptable locking holster for the glock 23. It is funny that it also happens to fit my my airsoft Millenium.
I have never lived, am living, am not living, will never live, and will eventually live on a strange space ship hurtling through the cosmos that I choose to call earth because strange monsters that look like me call it that also. Everything I perceive is true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense. On not. You are, or are not, yourself and only you can decided what that means.
I love you.

Cheap shorts made me think I’m fat. These damn things have bad button thread.
I bought a new pair of shorts today. Despite being a 38 it still felt a little tighter that I would have expected. I like a dumb ass didn’t try them on at the store. I wore them anyway. I got back from dinner and while I was getting out of the car I heard something hit the ground. It was the front button off my new shorts.
I am a disgusting fat body. I have already started dieting.

On 6/19/2008 I was called by AT&T and told that my number was calling 8595823257 and harassing them. The person had called and complained and threatened legal action if i didn’t stop calling. I looked through my cell phone bill for the past couple months and can’t find that number listed. I have to assume that AT&T or the person or both are wrong about me calling them.
I have not to my knowledge called that number and I have never made a harassing phone call in my life.
