Scarcity

Last night I had my first night of my CCNA Semester 1 class. It meets the next several Wednesdays consecutively and has labs and tests on Saturdays. I got along really well with the instructor. There are only five in the class. We're all veterans of IT. We're already talking about group socializing. Scary.

I'm looking forward to the labs, but not so much reading the fifteen pound tome that goes with the class. It's all on me to succeed.

This afternoon I went to a job interview. It went relatively well, I thought. Except for I didn't like how the HR Directer told me to ask him questions first. I hate that shit. I talked a lot, more than I usually do (I prefer to brood quietly). But in a way I felt like was in my element and actually was very excited. Salary is not better than I had previously. It's contract to hire... but in the face of benefits running out in a month and a half, I would be glad to have it. And it would push me into Linux and Unix, which is experience I do not have.

And also I'm submitting my résumé for another system administration-type job. Also does not pay well, but it's for a state institution so... lots of guarenteed vacation days. If that means more time to play... then I will play.

If you had caught me earlier, I would have challenged you to a fight. The kinda playful kind that you still want to win. Followed by rough, sweaty sex.

Unfortunately, right now I feel like a lightbulb that's flickering before it goes out. I'm completely fried. Caffeine is BAD. Bad. Too bad I love it so much.

You know I love you.
