"...makes Homer go something something"
"go crazy?"
"Don't mind if I do..WWWOOOOOOOO!!"
yeah...that's basically how my week went. worked many 10 hour days because sales is kicking some serious butt...however, it means the warehouse is really having to step up to get everything out the door even close to on time...there were most night when we didn't get all the orders out..the "must ships" got out, but other not-so-important orders did not. My upper body is sore from pulling so much stock for the guys it's unreal...Friday was hellish bue to the fact that the guy on first shift pulling material left ALL his stock for us to put away....I didn't have to do it, just pulled orders all night...very frustrating time at work right now...I think this is gonna be the norm rather than the exception this year...but it's only been one month, so we'll see
on my geek front, I built a mid range gaming system for a guy I work with....screaming fast...like rocket sled on rails fast....on Monday I'll see how he likes it...but I was impressed with it once I got it built and started burning it in.
I've gone to Linux on my laptop...for those who may not know, Linux is an open source operating system..meaning no one company owns the rights to like, as in the way the Microsoft owns Windows. I using a particular distribution called Suse....very nice. I was going to go Linux sooner, but wireless support is a bit on the weak side....Lo and behold, Suse 10 has a pretty nifty built in networking setup that has fairly robust wifi support....I've already made some adjustments to get more comfortable with Linux, and it runs very well on my laptop...
Saturday was a mixed bag...in the morning I help move some friends who just bought a house...that went pretty smooth....the only real problem was that I had slept a grand total of 2 hours Friday night...bleah....Holly was tired too...we had my Upwards basketball game in the evening....my team got owned, as we same in gaming. We played well, but the other team was phenomenal...afterward, both Holly and I felt somewhat antisocial, so we ran a quick errand and then to the store to pick up dinner fixin's. I made my superb chicken breast..Holly loves it....we settled in and watched a movie, only to have both of us fall asleep and miss most of it...not a big deal...we were both so wiped out from out weeks that the rest did us both good...except now I can't fall asleep :P
I'm teaching at 4:12 in a couple weeks. We're going to start a James study next Sunday, and I want to be more prepared than just "hey, I'm teaching this week." I've been taking some time to reflect on God's Word and just how it impacts me in the midst of everything else in my life...I need to make the Word more of my daily refreshment...I've never really been good at it..I'll dig in for a day or so, or for a couple hours at a crack, but never consistently...
til next time
