April 19^th, 2002 – It appears I will be permitted the luxury, for the first time in 6 years, of being able to live through an April 19^th without hearing the ceaseless whining of people on the TV. Thank God. I can barely tolerate the Sept 11^th stuff as it is.

My head has been hurting most of the day. I spent half the day on appointments trying to get problems resolved and that contributed to the headache. Shitty driving on the part of almost everyone who owns a car and decided to drive in my general area was also a prominent factor.

So, I head back to work…headache killing me and I have to finish up some coding. I am not a coder. I am bad at it for the most part. But doing it with a headache is likely on a modernized list of tortures in Hell. The remainder of the job is looking at Backup Exec for issues with a full system backup (change control window this weekend). It is a whopping 1/3 done and doing fine. Oh, and I am hungry, too (no lunch or breakfast).

I did talk to Leonard (old coworker) who is willing to meet me in LV the week of May 6^th. It is an easy trip for him (he is in San Francisco) but I went to Interop last year alone and it was not a pleasant experience. Well, let me clarify…the one person I knew in LV moved away a week before I went to Interop so I ended up pretty much alone. And, no one at my work wanted to go. God forbid you might learn something new…

I did solve one mystery (the person at work who was reading my page) but another has popped up. I keep getting these email messages saying some anonymous person thinks I have a crush on them or the anonymous person has a crush on me from a few different ‘crush’ sites. I don’t know if someone is pulling a joke (hey, April 1 came and went, folks) or what. I have been just deleting them since I am sure if I respond to the email, I will receive a plethora of crap from the site AND it will ask me to guess who the fuck I think has a crush on me (by email address, of course) so it can spam them, too.
