A birthday and a busy job

It has been a long time since I’ve posted anything and I’m pretty tired and a bit sick so this one will likely be short.

Work – work has been so fucking busy since I started working at this new place. Oh my god it’s been crazy. I know ‘manage’ a team of 3 people. Tickets went from 60 to 30 in a few weeks so we are making progress. Off and on I feel like I’m going to get fired. Moreso recently because my sleep schedule is way fucked up. I worked 70 hours a couple weeks back and that really took it out of me, but stuff had to be done. There were some more things I was going to do to get caught up but I decided I needed some personal time. I’m taking this weekend off completely from like everything. Obviously not off of my computer because here I am.

Personal – I’ve virtualized several machines and I’m finally moving everything over to my ESXI HP box. Feels good to have everything more consolidated. I’m working on getting things closer to where I want them to be. I upgraded PFSENSE and the interface is phenomenal. I set up failover WAN which is amazing. I’m working on setting up VPN and VLANs next. I weighed 240 last time I checked and I’m – again – scared to check the scale. I’m still hanging out with Travis. I like him but idk if I’ll love him or not. We keep going on these roller coaster rides of crazy. Speaking of, tomorrow we are supposed to go to Lagoon for Frightmares. I’m kinda excited. We hang out a decent amount these days. Not these last few weeks. Crappy events happened. Jesse has not popped back in my life again which I’m very happy for. He comes in when he needs someone to give him motivational words then perks up and disappears from my life. I don’t like it. I don’t like not being someone he’s crazy about. That’s why I’m not into him. I also re-arranged my room. Iit feels bigger because of the way the bed is laid out now. I’m also sleeping on the higher side of the mattress and i think it’s fucking with my sleep a bit. You know how your body over time wears out the springs and makes a nice jelly bean shape of you? That’s what happened.

School – Taking the semester off and got my associates degree. 🙂 Yay. I need to figure something out for next year(s) and certifications. My goal was to get certs this year but that’s not happening so far and I’m disappointed in myself quite honestly.

Overall things are going ok. Money is it the bank. I need to get the basement finished so I can rent out my other bedroom and buy a car too. Need to move up in life.
