another hump day

tis another rainy day in olympia/tumwater. so what's new? nothing much, but more work. i'm not stressing even though i know we won't complete the fixes before march. i'm just having fun up here even with all the rain.

wow. i just got off the phone with jen. called her at 10 something and got off at 12 basically. we were keeping each other entertained since danny was working late tonight waiting for a build and i was suppose to work also, but wanted to chat instead. while on the phone jen made her quiz about herself and i was excited to take it! my excitement soon turned to shock as soon as i realized how bad i am at remembering details! that and jen's test was hard! =( i personally think mine was easier than jen's! well.. i learned that my attention to details is weak and i need to improve on that. funny i can nit pick at details in software engineering and programming, but in life i've always lacked attention to details. something to work on.

tonight, like most nights when my coworkers and i go out for dinner is always fun. we always complain about work and stuff, but i really think we are fortunate even though we are underpaid. we still have lots of perks which most take for granted... i think those people mainly hate to travel though, which if you think about consulting... it goes with the territory.

so the plan tomorrow is to go to the sonic's games in seattle. we plan to leave work a little early even though we have lots of work to do. i know the project manager is going to go bonkers when she finds out we're heading to a game while we're under pressure to get things done. sometimes in life you just have to put work last. i mean the project executive doesn't seem to mind so much cause i think he is realistic about the outcome. its funny the drama we have at work between one of our crazy cocworker and the project manager. they always butt heads and i find it amusing.

ok. my neck is getting tired leaning over this tall bed and typing my blog so i'm going to sleep soon. oh yeah, checkout jen's gallery for pics of this past weekend! she has some candid shots of us which is pretty funny. man... my bowling style is WEIRD... now i know why i can't score high in that game. oh yeah! jen got a turkey!!! 129 points for that game!!! good job jen!

me pouting because jen beat me on the last game. =( i'm proud and at the same time competitive. i think most guys are pretty competitive. i thought at one point i never cared, but i guess i do. or is it the fact that i crave attention? hmmmm. hard to tell. cause i think i'm happy not winning either, as long as i got some attention. =) maybe that's why i like to suck at some things also. if you can't beat them, be worse then all of them. ;)

ok. going to save my energy for tomorrow's game. it'll be another fun night hanging out with the coworkers. we've got a good bunch of characters. =) i'm glad i'm not travelling alone. its been lots of fun. still waiting to get on a project with kent. i consider kent another brother since we can pretty much get tons of work done between the two of us.

oh before i end the post... here are some quotes to think over:

Words cannot express the grief one feels about lost love. Then again, wise words can heal wounds and help us reflect on the tragedy. If you have undergone a personal loss - the loss of love or a loved one - you will find this list of lost love quotes very relevant. Read the best quotes on lost love by famous authors like Samuel Butler, Kahlil Gibran, Socrates, and many more.

1) Washington Irving
Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.
2) Otomo No Yakamochi
Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there.
3) Anonymous
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
4) Jean Anouilh
There is love of course. And then there's life, its enemy.
5) Alfred Lord Tennyson
'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
6) Kahlil Gibran
Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
7) Margaret Mitchell
I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken -- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.
8) G. K. Chesterton
The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.
9) Samuel Butler
It is better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all.
10) Socrates
The hottest love has the coldest end.

adios folks. i'm outs.
