Technically I am supposed to be working on reinstalling Solaris 9 on our old test box unix31. It's getting a hostname change to srv05 as well. Yet instead I'm sitting here typing a journal entry since it's been far too long since I have done a real one. Jeanette was saying last night that I never write about her in my journal anymore. And I said I don't write at all in my journal anymore. I just take quizzes.
So for once here's a normal old entry from yours truly. As some of you know I have a new job. I'm still at the NY State Education Department but I have transferred up the the Software Unit. The work is far more interesting and I don't get bored at all. Other than with the CD-ROM training I've been doing but that's almost done. I'm now a Unix Systems Administrator and finally have root access! Go me. Now I have to get this shirt. I get to run cables and setup new servers and all sorts of fun stuff. So that's what's up in the job department.
I am of course still with Jeanette, we're about to hit 8 months. I also just moved in with her and Taso since I was spending all my time there anyway. We were supposed to move the rest of the big furniture this past weekend but that silly snow storm killed that idea. So we're going to shoot for this weekend. My lease doesn't run out until July so my sister is going to stay there so she can save up some money. The place she's at now overcharges her and the damn place is falling apart. So that's the big news on that front. Were doing a lot of remodeling and hope to do some more painting soon when we feel a bit richer.
So anyway, I probably should get back to work. But I thought I'd give an update on my real life so you all know I still exist. Hope all is well with everyone and hope you all have more of your Christmas shopping done then I do.

 You're a natural born trouble-maker. You hate authority and do everything you can to get around the law, or in some cases, break it. Naturally stubborn, you hardly ever sway once a decision is made. Your nature is fiery and courageous, and always out-going. You love attention and usually have kinky fetishes you're not afraid to explore. People either love you or hate you.

 You are water. You're not really organic; you're neither acidic nor basic, yet you're an acid and a base at the same time. You're strong willed and opinionated, but relaxed and ready to flow. So while you often seem worthless, without you, everything would just not work. People should definitely drink more of you every day.
