07/29/2004 Entry: "Three days disaster-free"

I feel like I'm at an AA Meeting. "Hi, my name is Punkie, and I haven't had a crisis in three days..."

"HI, PUNKIE!!!"

Some of the suckiness from Monday was reversed when I found out that Nate is not quitting (he got this ... counteroffer from my company I am not allowed to talk about, but daaamn...), that I am "still in the running" for the other job, and the semi-pilfered code (which was a remote alert system that used IMs like a kind of chat room) turned out to be more annoying than helpful.

Ha ha. I could have told them that. I suggested doing a massive IRC chat room, like how hackerbots communicate, but our LAN blocks IRC (probably for the same hackerbot reason), so that was also a dead end.

Since Bloatakon is out this weekend, I plan to slum around, and prepare a little for the next weekend, which is a friend's wedding and a party. I'd mow the lawn, but it's been damp from constant rain, and it's going to rain some more this weekend...
