Where Did Your Soul Originate?
brought to you by Quizilla
Slow morning, so far. But I was actually in good form in class this morning, despite a deep urge to crawl back into the bed.
Bed would be nice, but a paycheck doesn't suck either, I suppose. Work's been light as yet.
I think I'm gonna do some heavy working over the exam week to build up cash reserves, since I may have to make a car payment not long after returning from Chicago.
But, we'll see. It's neither here nor there at the moment.
Still can't get her off my mind. I want to come home to you...

I also decided that not this year, but possibly next year, I think I'm gonna go on a serious, medically aided, diet. Not as severe as the "no solid food" one my parents are on, most likely, but something to really help me stick with it and get some weight off. All in all, my parents do look a lot healthier, and the fact that the doctor mentioned that my dad not only probably passed me his diabetes in the future, but the fact that my dad was starting to lose functionality in his legs is quite enough of a warning sign.
For now, I'm gonna just keep trying to eat sensibly and excercise, and we'll see what comes of it.

As you guys may or may not know, Dad works for a very -large- multinational fast food corporation's IT department.
Guess who just emailed me asking for help with an integration problem? Not just dad, but the HEAD OF THEIR IT DEPARTMENT.
Seems they need to get some Jaguar users into their SMB network and couldn't figure out how.
Damn, that was funny. Had the answer turned around to them in 15 minutes, and I'm sitting in a lab reimaging machines while I did it.
Maybe, just maybe, I'm kinda cut out for this job after all?

On my way out of the office, I ran into Kathy (My nominal boss, where John is my day-to-day boss.)
K: "Hey, by the way, I'm waiting on word, but we may be able to turn the position Michael M. is leaving (a 1-year contractual position, which he's leaving to go to grad school), into a full time position in the department. If we do, I'll be giving you the word."
Full time would be -much- nicer than just a 1-year internship...especially if I got salaried.
And the snowstorm falls...it's a good day.

I need to do more with that....but this is a start.
