Toast

 Today was rather frustrating. I have a long term project at work that we did a cut over on Today and it didn't go well. Between frequent calls with the client... and just a general sense of being tired... I think i got caught in a hot mic moment because I swore after getting off the phone with them... and I'm honestly not sure if the call had hung up yet. Granted... I'm almost 40... but it kind of sucks not being able to voice my thoughts in a manner I'm used to. 

Needless to say it's been weighing on me for part of the evening. The only plus side today is the fact we got paid today. (Well, Katie did). I hit the bank and moved money around... Then went and got one of my tattoo's touched up. My next tattoo appointment is September 30th @ 4:00pm to get the underside of my sleeve tattoo finished. He's estimating about 3 hours for the tattoo which is reasonable. It's probably going to hurt a bunch.. which I'm fully expecting because the closer you get to your armpit the worse it hurts (for me anyways). I'm waiting on Katie to get home so that I can get the gel to put on my Tattoo. (Mad Rabbit Tattoo Repair Gel).  

Tonight I had to do follow up work on the issues from today... and also I've been reviewing Azure Migration methods so that when I take my exam on Saturday night I pass (this would be a retake of the AZ-801). After I pass, I am certified and according to my boss... there's perks that come along with it. Personally at this point I just need to focus on Doing my job. They have me dealing with Escalations from the Service Desk... as well as Tier 1 / Tier 2 NOC tasks and its really just a lot to handle. But really it seems like everyone is dealing with it so I shouldn't complain. And generally I don't. It was a bad day and I'm venting about it.


I'm tired... so I'm just going to lay down for a while.

A couple of weeks to reset.

Recently, I got a new job. When i went to put in my two weeks at my existing job management indicated that I didn't have to come in and could be discharged early if i wanted. So i said ok. I've had about 2 weeks off by this point and I start my new job on Monday the 28th. I'm looking forward to it.  While I've been off, I've been tending to things around the house and becoming more active. I've been able to go to the gym virtually any time i want... and the wife and I even took up Basketball today. I'm hoping that i can spend this fall / winter / spring getting my physical health in order while at the same time advancing my career. I am also working on Quitting smoking. Today is day 3 of 56 in the program. I'm expecting my sense of smell to improve sometime in the next 24 hours. Usually it kicks in between day 3 and day 5. It usually comes on suddenly and without warning. All of a sudden the smells of the room I'm in are overly amplified. Which can h...

Why I'm no longer on Chantix

 While the medication can be good for some, I noticed a stark difference in my thought patterns after the 5 day mark. I had actually gone as long as nine days on the medication but i found that day 8 did not start with a resolving throwing the pack away and moving on into the future with resolve and courage. In fact, it was quite the opposite. By the end of day 8 I had resolved pretty negatively that I was better off dead. The negative attitude i was developing was interfering with my job, and my marriage. I would honestly advise anyone who has Schizoaffective disorder, Bi-Polar type, to stay clear of Chantix as a smoking cessation medication. About three days after coming off the medication i did notice a shift in thinking in a new direction though. I wouldn't say that it reset my thought patterns, but it actually gave me a new hopes and ideas.  I correlated that my good morning habits in years past wasn't due to not being on the medication or working third shift.... It was a...

The last few days of August.

 This year had basically been chaotic for me. Between Me losing and getting a new job to Katie going out on TDI and quitting her job. The only thing that really stayed constant was the apartment. Nothing wrong with that I suppose.   In Recent developments... I got my teeth and eyes checked out for the first time in about 10 years. I didn't have any cavities (Which pissed off Katie). But I did require a root and scaling procedure. As for My vision.. I could have probably spent 10 dollars on readers rather than going with the prescription... But I at least know why my eyes are as bad as they are. Apparently when I was a kid... I was suppose to wear an eye patch to correct a lazy eye. But it never happened because the doctors back then thought that I needed glasses which I never really ended up wearing. Well... hear I am 30 years later and I need glasses. I'm not bitching about it... I'm just making a general observation. I recently heard about age spurts.. basically at 2 dist...
