“I thought I hit rock bottom, but today there is rock bottom, fifty feet of crap, then me…” – Rachel Green, Friends.

I begin my Xanga entry with that quote because this explains just how I feel today. All I have to say is, that I will finish this project even if it kills me… Well, it won’t kill me, because I never let anything get the best of me. But… you know what I mean.

So yes, today = total crap. Tomorrow = is like a Public Restroom Nightmear… and then Thusday to next Thusday = Dropping off the face of the earth to never be found during those days so I can get much needed rest and sleep. So if you happen to have a computer problem from Thusday to Thursday then DO NOT call me. If you even mention that you have a problem, you will get hung up on. I am going out of town… like out of state out of town. So you will have a hard time finding me…

Anyways, back to work… like normal… I will try and post lata.

As Always,

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! Ate entirely too much, but isn’t that what Thanksgiving all about? Anyways, I just wanted to post. This week is going to be busy. At least Monday and Tuesday will be. Wednesday and Thursday I am preparing to get ready because I will be out of town from Friday Afternoon till Monday Morning.

So, I am going to be running around like a mad man trying to finish things up and get things at a holding point until next week. I need to go, I wish I could post more, but I have to be up early and I need as much sleep as I can get.

Later,
J

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ok, funny story. For some reason one of my clients production server decides to throw off both production programs and corrupt a bunch of files. It is so nice when you open programs and it says, “Data Corrupt”. So, I spent two hours cleaning up one big mess at their office. Thankfully we will be replacing their production server shortly with a new server that will do File Sharing, DNS, DHCP, WINS, AD, and Exchange Functions along with some basic SQL and Web Serving. These people aren’t going to know what to do when everything works correctly.< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

I am kind of hyper today, who knows why. I am getting ready for the finale of “He’s A Lady”. I think me and Hope are going to hang out if I can ever track her down. So, I think I am going to work tomorrow morning and then take tomorrow evening – Saturday Morning off. Then I work for a few hours onsite Saturday and then I am off until Monday! Then I work Monday to Wednesday and then off Thursday to Monday. Pretty exciting stuff!

Well, everyone have a wonderful holiday!

Later,
J

Well this week should be great. It seems as if all my clients have taken the week of, so that means I can take the week off after Tuesday evening. So, that will be nice. Our rollout project will be finished Saturday, so hopefully that all goes well.< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Oh, I’ve owned my car now for one year. In 11 months (it was in the shop for one month) I’ve put 19,000 miles on it. So now the car totals at 49,000 miles. I need to do some work after the winter, either that or sell it. I’ve had my eye on a 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP (With Comp G Package) or GXP (when available) also a 2005 Pontiac Bonneville GXP (nothing like a sedan with a V8… going 0-60 in 6.5 seconds). Who knows probably it will go like it did last time and I will go on the lot and buy something I wasn’t even looking for. Speaking of my car, it is as dirty as can be. It looks like I went mud-running in it. But what do you do though when it is 46 degrees? I guess maybe I will go through a touch less carwash and get it clean. I still need to clean out the inside though, it is sick… So, maybe if it isn’t too cold I will at least sweep out the inside.

So nothing going on really. Just work… like normal. I just thought I would post so people would know that I am alive.

Later,
J

Well, things are looking up. My marketing director is going to work out great! She is very ready to work and is excited about getting these companies started as I am. So hopefully here soon we will appear on the map.

Welp, I am going to take off. I have two client meetings tomorrow morning in Cirlceville, OH… So I need to get some rest.

Later,
J

If I get any more clients I am going to either pull out all my hair or lose it from all this work! I thought when I started a business it would be slow, and then like it has taken off so fast I run around like a mad man. It is a good thing though; I haven’t needed to work for any of the consulting companies I used to work for.< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Well, last night made an impromptu decision to appoint one of my friends as my Marketing Director. I think she’ll do well. It will be nice for someone to take part of the “paperwork” of these companies and let me crack down on the technical side.

So, maybe if we can get our act together I will have the two company websites up and running. One of my clients are moving along really fast, so as soon as we work out the final details, I will post the link to the website.

Anyways, spread the word… I am officially in business…

Hey Everyone! Thanks for the birthday wishes, I truly appreciate it. Let me map out the next two weeks. This week I am finishing up a project that I’ve been working on for about a month. If Verizon gets their part done I will be finishing the project on Saturday. So, hopefully I can get them moving and have everything in place for the Saturday install.< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

So this week is going to be filled with finishing assembling PCs, finish configuring a Windows 2003 Small Business Server and downloading all the proper stuff for the rollout. I also have a website that needs updating, so that is on this week’s to-do list. Needless to say, this week I probably won’t be on AOL or Diablo 2 or the phone. I am, however… reserving Friday as my free day, so if anyone wants to do something Friday, notify me by e-mail!

Then let’s see… the week after that. Well, family will be arriving for the holidays by Wednesday and then Friday a friend and I are going to try our hand at the infamous “day after thanksgiving early bird shopping madness”. The beginning of that week I will be doing onsite training so that ought to be extremely fun.

So that is the map for the next two weeks. Then I will probably be out of town the week after that. Yeah… so my next post might not be until Friday of this week. So enjoy and leave loads of comments. The pictures will hopefully get posted sometime this week.

J

Well… I am officially 18 now. Just thought I would post that before I ran off to work on the comptuer before I go to bed.
