Scripting News is back..I don't completely understand what happened but its interesting to read everyone else's sites and follow along with what is happening I think between RSS and Echo?..although like I said, I don't completely understand it all. I'm glad Scripting News is back.
Now the other question that's been on my mind lately, what happened to Jake? Vacation? I like reading his site too and keeping up to date on Radio Development tips and other musings but it seems as though he has disappeared.

 So I got this gift certificate for my birthday from my sister for Sundance about a month and half ago and finally found something I wanted to buy. I knew I wanted to buy a ring but wasn't sure which finger..well, Sundance made the decision pretty easy since they carry sizes 5 and up and my pinkie fingers are a size 3.5-4 and the only spare finger that doesn't have a ring yet is my left thumb..so I found this beauty. Its a 1920's vintage ring, perfect for a thumb ring and marked down from 95.00 to 44.99..great deal to say the least..I'm looking forward to seeing it..thanks sis!!
update: got the ring, its beautiful, looks exactly like the picture. However, its the wrong size..exchanging it this week for a bigger size..trial and error with fingers and their sizes :)

So I finally bought my summer pool which is a Sunfish Snapset Pool..don't laugh, everyone I know thinks its weird that I buy these pools for the summer every year but for $20.00 for the summer I get a pool large enough for a floatie that I can lay out and get a tan and its just deep enough to actually get me wet and cooled off when its a hundred or so outside. The pool itself is 8ft x 18 inches but its perfect for my needs right now and with another $20 invested for the algae fighter and chlorine, I have a great pool for the summer and I can throw it away when winter finally arrives..and only have invested $40.00.
I woke up this morning with a terrible migrane that still hasn't disappeared completely. Although since I'm used to having migranes, I went about my normal activities for a Saturday, went shopping, slightly painful when a small creature started screaming but got what I needed. Went to the grocery store, got food that I didn't have to cook and had a good day except for that strange throbbing in my head. There was a point to this but then again my head is still throbbing and its finally cool enough at 1am to work on the computer..having migranes suck. I tried to sleep today and wished for it to go away..migrane medicine having some effect...although I'm thinking that a great massage would be very helpful at this point...

I woke up early this morning and had every intention of getting to work by 8am then I started working on my blogrolls for my newbie tips category and of course, I will probably be late again...oh well..at least the category home page looks better and easier to follow :)
Last night, I guess I was just hot and tired..I'm feeling better today..not so much in that weird space of yesterday..

Its really really hot here today and it was too hot in the city today..my sister totally is loving the heat in the city though..she grew up in the east bay and loves the hot weather just like I do and usually it's too cold in the city for her..why she moved there is beyond me..summer's past, it has always been nice to leave the 100 degree weather for a little while and go into the city for 70-80 degree weather to cool off..but I'm totally happy that summer is finally here.....
on other note..do you ever have one of those days that you feel like an outsider looking in? or you write your friends emails and then you don't get responses and you feel left out? Maybe I'm just pms..ing..but I feel weird today....or maybe its the heat..
I had lunch with a friend today and it was great to see him again, although I think there is so much more lingering in thoughts and lunch was just way too short to see a friend that you haven't seen for months and months. The noontime beer made me kinda of loopy at work during the afternoon with the heat and all, although I was very happy and nothing anyone said bothered me..
time to do one more project before I go get some sleep..

Wow, I'm starting to feel like myself again, not as exhausted today and actually work up at 5:45am..which is incredibly early for me. Everyone at work thinks I sleep in or something, little do they know..I'm blogging, writing newbie tips, surfing the internet...usually I admit I get up at 7am and then have to rush to get things done and its acutally nice to get up and have time to do the things I like.
Last night was fun, the raccoon was back and getting bolder. It actually came in the back door and ate the cat food. And then it decided to come around to the front window (which is open for the cats) and come on in. Sat down in the chair and looked at me..funny thing is, all I have to do is say NO and it leaves...next time definetly taking a picture of it..I think it must be the baby out foraging on its own..it doesn't look that big and its quite friendly. The cats don't seem to mind it either..I think it might be time to name it :)

When asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten kids got the answer, compared to 17% of Stanford University seniors
Its a seven letter word......
it is greater than God, More evil than the devil, The poor have it, The rich need it, And if you eat it, you'll die?
answer to be forthcoming..but I want to see how many guesses I get before revealing the true answer...

I've been so tired this week, that nothing inspiring has come to mind until today. I hate worms and viruses..today at work, we were hit with a Code Red II worm on our webserver and exchange server which basically just stopped our webserver every few days..but what a pain to get rid of it and install all the patches. And yes, you'd think we would have some type of anti-virus protection on the servers but nooooooo..my boss apparently can't connect the dots in his head, just because we use a service for our email spam and it scans all of our email for viruses also before forwarding onto us, he thinks this is enough but jeez dude..our webserver was attacked which isn't scanned because our email doesn't go through it and why would it? (connect the dots much) And to top off my day, my home computer was hit with a virus...probably because I connect into work..which had that nice little virus on it and who knows what else at this point..but my home computer is now safe, virus quaranteed and delete and I now have a current version of my firewall installed..enough of my ranting..I feel much better..inspiration must be on its way..

Dating is confusing enough without knowing the rules of the game..or the definition of personals dating terms. And when your feelings get mixed into the game, it can be quite confusing..let me just say, someone dear to me last night told me he wasn't ready/doesn't want a serious committment relationship..but I was curious to see by definition where our relationship is in dating terms..
friendship n. You hang out, have things in common, swap stories, not tongues. (Note: if a woman is looking for "either" a man or a woman and has "friendship" checked off, she's not neccessarily bisexual - she probably just moved to a new city and is looking for drinking buddies.)
dating n. You hang out, have things in common, swap stories, swap tongues and maybe other body parts (not necessarily on the first date), and aren't exclusive (unless otherwise discussed and agreed upon).
serious relationship n. You are exclusive (unless you're in one of those newfangled open relationships, but this has been discussed and agreed upon by both parties). You talk about the relationship. You call each other boyfriend or girlfriend. You make plans together more than three days in advance. You talk baby talk to each other but would never admit it to anyone else. Your ad is hidden, not deleted — but only so you can show the grandkids how you met. (Note: Meeting up for a second personals date does not automatically mean you two are in a serious relationship. Everyone must go through the "dating" stage first.)
play n. You are naughty and need to be spanked often, by different paddles. xoxoxo
and honestly, I'm ok with what he said/feels, he was being honest and I know how I feel..whatever happens, happens for a reason. There is a reason he appeared in my life...so basically, we're still in the dating stage and maybe that will be as far as it goes or maybe not..who knows what the future holds......

 I found this funny bumper sticker on thinkgeek..
And the description of it, is even more hilarious only because I doubt my bosses at work realized this...or that its possible
Description from thinkgeek.."System and Network administrators have an advantage over their co-workers, quite possibly, not realized until the day we unveiled this sticker. We just thought we would make sure the world was aware of your knowledge and it's associated powers (even if it's just the 'threat' of such powers ;)"

I was reading one of the sites I like cause what's real is really real and found this interesting test to determine whether you are right or left brain dominant. My results are amazingly accurate and explain alot about me....my results:
Your Brain Usage Profile
Auditory : 50%
Visual : 50%
Left : 52%
Right : 47%
Julie, you are one of those rare individuals who are perfectly "balanced" in both your hemispheric tendencies and your sensory learning preferences. However, there is both good news and bad news.
A problem with hemispheric balance is that you will tend to feel more conflict than someone who has a clearly established dominance. At times the conflict will be between what you feel and what you think but will also involve how you attack problems and how you perceive information. Details which will seem important to the right hemis- phere will be discounted by the left and vice versa, which can present a hindrance to learning efficiently.
In the same vein, you may have a problem with organization. You might organize your time and/or space only to feel the need to reorganize five to ten weeks later.
On the positive side, you bring resources to problem-solving that others may not have. You can perceive the "big picture" and the essential details simultaneously and maintain the cognitive perspective required. You possess sufficient verbal skills to translate your intuition into a form which can be understood by others while still being able to access ideas and concepts which do not lend themselves to language.
Your balanced nature might lead you to second-guess yourself in artistic endeavors, losing some of the fluidity, spontaneity and creativity that otherwise would be yours.
With your balanced sensory styles, you process data alternately, at times visually and other times auditorially. This usage of separate memories may cause you to require more time to integrate information or re-access it. When presented with situations which force purely visual or purely auditory learning, increased anxiety is likely and your learning efficiency will decrease.
Your greatest benefit is that you can succeed in multiple fields due to the great plasticity and flexibility you possess.

Interesting..I just figured out I could go into Frontpage and figure out the formatting I want for something on my home page template, copy the html code and paste into the template..hmmm..have no idea why that finally dawned on me now..maybe because I'm procrastinating about working..I mean really who at 11pm wants to look at more spreadsheets..

I thought it was me being stressed out about work, having complete job burnout and no wonder, I have 3 fulltime jobs which for some ungodly reason, my boss thinks I can do in 40 hrs per week or assumes that I can do everything, get no sleep and have no life and I'll be happy. NOT
I'm back from vacation, no longer completely stressed out but today at work, I lost it. Nothing changed, its still the same and its not me. At least I have that perspective now..I guess. And the new operations manager promises things will change but every new operations manager we get - tells me the same thing. And things change for a while but unless the owners go away forever and let us run things...nothing is ever going to change permanently because every new ops manager ends up quitting after a year or so. I don't blame the ops guy and I no longer blame myself...I don't even blame the company. I knew a long time ago that I should leave and I keep rationalizing reasons to stay..it isn't worth it anymore. The is no trust or respect between anyone anymore. Everyone is trying to figure out how to leave, everyone is still stressed out and snapping at everyone else. Its not a healthy atmosphere anymore. And unless you are part of the ingroup with the owners, you will always be to blame for something.
So here I am, after vacation still having to work after hours just to get things done that no one followed through on while I was gone for a week (even though they said they would). I've been offered a possible opportunity doing financial work..I'm calling them tommorrow, setting the appt and moving on with my life. I feel bad about the new ops guy and his goals, he told me today if I leave there was no reason for him to stay..maybe its time we all moved on.....and got a life outside of work.

I found a new site today called Point -- the way. I agree with some of it and some of it I don't (definetly don't agree with the abortion rant) however its one guy's opinion and given the fact that he has the courage to express his opinions, is wonderful.

The sweetest thing happened tonight while I was working on a friend's computer at his house..this woman knocked on his door and asked if I had a cat..I told her I didn't live there but my friend had a cat. She told me that this tabby striped cat was hit by a car and had crawled into the bushes. She wanted to put him in a box and take him to the vet...
I went out to see if it was my friend's cat and thank god it wasn't. But as I was walking out there to check it out, one other woman was out there trying to figure out how to put this scared cat into the box without getting hurt. I petted it for a second, made sure it's back wasn't broken and scooped it up and put it in the box. Poor little thing, it had gotten its jaw broken and was having trouble breathing..then a man drove up and said he would take it to the vet since we got it into the box.
The woman told me thank you and said I was incredibly brave..I don't think so, I have 5 cats, used to have 8 and I knew that the cat wasn't going to hurt me, it was just scared.
But what amazes me is that 3 complete strangers stopped because they saw the cat get hit and wanted to help. I will probably never see these people again but the kindness of strangers continues to amaze me. I hope the cat is ok because it looked like it probably belonged to someone.

I'm back from vacation and I am so happy to be back home and in California. I learned alot about myself the past week, de-stressed and basically found me again..found me that lives in the moment, who plays with wild abandonment, who dances like nobodys watching..found my sexy witch spirit.
it was an expensive lesson to learn that I'll never leave california, that I'm happy with my life, I missed my cats and considering they are currently hovering around me..I guess they missed me. I love my work and I missed blogging here. I missed being around people that are friendly and I am very happy with the people in my life.
The trials of dating series, I'm ending..I realized that I was in general just pissed off at the world and completely and utterly stressed out and I feel bad that I've written alot about certain people that I never wanted to hurt or push away.
And even though I hate Boston and didn't particulary like most of the people I can into contact with, I had time for myself to reflect upon my life. I had time to paint my fingernails, to read 4 books, to think, to take walks (Walden Pond is gorgeous) and unwind and de-stress.
I need to remember to take time for myself, schedule those monthly massages, relax and not focus all my energy on work or others. I need to get enough sleep and not pull myself in 20 different directions continously. I need to find time to write professionally and stop hiding behind whatifs and just go for it. I need to stop listening to others when I have problems and trust my inner spirit, my inner witch.
I have complete feeling back in my feet and back and maybe it was the stress after all. I need to talk walks, get out in the fresh air and spend time away from the computer more often during the weekends.
I am so happy that I'm back home. I am so happy I found me again.

Saw the Matrix Reloaded last night, not sure it was all it was hyped up to be. Matrix Reloaded was more of an action film this time around. The first Matrix was more intriguing, held my interest and was fascinating. Maybe it was because I was with someone and my thoughts were more on him, but I think if the Matrix Reloaded had more of the characteristics of the first movie it would have held more of my interest despite who I was with.
I really like the dance scene and the atmosphere of the Zion, a futuristic utopia world is fascinating in that we as humans can acheive that state of mind, living together in harmony as one. I like the whole concept/philosophy of Zion, that even though they are fighting the machines, they must rely on machines to survive.
What I missed that was in the first movie was more of the virtual world and the code behind the programs, the reason for the matrix and what the whole trilogy is about. Maybe I should have watch the first movie before seeing Reloaded because I was a little lost at first on what happened up to this point. Overall, I think it was a good movie, less action would have been nice - if I wanted to see an action movie, I think I would have choosen 2 fast 2 furious instead but the effects were good and it will be interesting to see the third movie and see it leads back to the virtual world concept.

I was helping someone out with a resume today and wanted to just check out how I setup my resume and saw that I had a comment about my resume..which was exciting until I read it. I guess I had two mis-spellings on my resume that I didn't catch..not everyone is perfect. But instead of emailing me and letting me know, this person had to be rude about it.
Anyways, I have once again updated my resume..made sure all my grammer and words are spelled right and reposted it. Thanks to mystery women, I also realized that some of the lines weren't visible, which has also been fixed.
I am still looking for a new job but more towards home currently..I realized I like the california weather. I like when its hot and I love the rain...

I walked into a total scam this week, got an offer for an Aspire Visa in the mail to "rebuild" my credit which I don't really need to "rebuild" my credit, however I've almost maxed all my credit cards on my upcoming vacation and an additional 300 dollars in credit would really help at this point - just in case of an emergency. So I sent them the $20.00 deposit and got the card activate..well, I tried to use the card today and it wouldn't work..so I figured ok I need to call and find out why it wasn't working...when I called it said my balance was already 165.50..now if I didn't use the card yet and couldn't, what the hell was the 165.50 charge...here's the scam...
150.00 annual fee
15.50 activation charge
and then monthly service charges of 6.00
now why the hell would anyone want a card that charges them 150.00 annual fee right off the bat with only a 300.00 credit limit..then I noticed on the back of the card, all the customer service numbers are blacked out except one which after numerous disconnects I finally got through to a real live person and told them to cancel the damn card, to refund my deposit payment or I was going to sue them for being a scam..nowhere in my paperwork was there any information about their 150.00 annual fee...and they tried to talk me into keeping it..I realized I was a little naive but not a complete moron.
Good news..they are cancelling the card, refunding my deposit and sending me a confirmation letter.
Next time, I will call the credit card company that offers me credit and find out if its real before I sign my name to anything again.
