I am Joe’s blah Monday afternoon…

Finishing up here at work. Bags are ordered and the part for the warehouse dorr will be here Wednesday. And no transfers. Still, my desk is covered and I should straighten up before I go.
Tonight’s entertainment includes mailing off the grad announcements. I’ve come to the conclusion that everybody whos getting an announcement is getting a personalized handwritten one. Also, will hook Mike’s computer up to the DSL Gateway so that he can have internet access. I wonder if I need to get a seperate hub for us to network. Also will stop at the library for some books or CD’s. The Mick Foley book was really good; I want Suzanne to read it, but I think that her prejudices will get in the way. Has for Mists of Avalon, I just can’t get into it, so back to the library it goes.
Found my cord for my camera, so I wil take pics of my new car when I get home.
Personal dilema…Need to get a haircut before graduation. Girlfriend wants me toshave it all off and go bald. Mom wants me to get box/flat cut. Personally, I want to straighten my hair just to spite both of them. But I love my mom and I love my girlfriend, so I won’t do that. But what am I going to do?

I am Joe’s Monday Morning Sickness…

So I call up the person regarding my graduation status and it is STILL under review!!!!!!
Current mood: sick

I am Joe’s Saturday Afternoon of FUN, FUN, FUN….

So here’s the situation….
Got the cap/gown for graduation. Also snagged an honor cord, cause I sure that Amber would be honored if I wore one has I walked down the aisle…
Don’t even ask about the announcements…
Spent Friday night at Suzanne’s watching Hudson Hawk. I had forgotten how bad of a movie it was. Oy Vey. And yet, I think that I want Suzanne to use some of the quotes to make more banners for me…
Went and saw Star Wars: Episode II. Loved it. As usual, Suzanne hated it. Oh well, can’t wait until the third episode comes out.
Suzanne and I are having one of our typical up/down weekends. Actually, it’s pretty up and not really down. And of course Dave Matthews is tonight.
Got a letter from Travis and they denied me a loan. **sigh** Then I guess the plan now is to try to pay the car off ASAP. Blah.
What else? Has usual, I have alot of things on my mind and gas in my stomach, and yet I keep both inside of me until it kills me. My stomach has been doing cartwheels since Friday; I hope that it settles down enough so that I can enjoy the concert.
Thinking that my days of goofing off are almost over. By that, I mean coming home and just lounging and either aimlessly surfing the net, watching T.V., or just doing nothing. There is alot of things that I need to get done, and I think now is the time to start working on them.
Oh yeah, watching the end of the Star Wars credits, and I see the name Randy Gon. Randy use to be my roommate with Mike and the bastard, Quetzal when we lived in the tower apt. in Park Merced. Totally cool.
Anyway, I should go and tell my girlfriend that I love her or something like that 😛

I am Joe’s Intermediate mastery of his home network….

Well, got both computers connected to the Internet. The big test is when Suzanne comes over with her IBook and if she can connect. Only low point is the fact that I can’t get the two computers to talk to each other. Very bummed out. ANd to top all of that, Mary never called me, and so I decided not to go to the movie (don’t feel like going alone). Anyway, think that I will call the girlfriend before Friends comes on and stuff. yeah.

I am Joe’s lazy afternoon….

Well, I finally got my box spring up into my room. I won’t go into the details of it; lets just say that it is in my room now.
Am suppose to be working on Mike’s computer, doing laundry, and finishing grad announcements among other things. I did some laundry and I cleaned all of my crap that was on the futon downstairs. But for the last hour, I have been slightly snoozing in my chair. The sun decided to come out and I have been trapped in a sunbeam. **yawn** I don’t believe that it’s 3:30 already…. Well, when the sunbeam moves off of me, I’ll be able get out of this chair and get back to the stuff that I have to do.

I am Joe’s day off….

Spent most of the morning at my car insurance office trying to get insurance. I just decided to stick with them cause I wouldn’t have to make a down payment. Right now it is at $220, but that includes the Metro and the Focus (A misunderstanding between me and the insurance guy.) When the Metro gets taken off, it should go down below $200 (I’m hoping to $170).
Just went to the Dell site to see if there were drivers for Mike’s computer. Luckily, there are drivers there, so later I will download and burn then to a CD (My floppy is busted for some reason) and hopefully, I can get Mike networked to my computer and to the DSL.
What else is on the agenda today? Def. will do some laundry. And then tonight, going to see Hugh Grant movie with Mary (if she can get off work early.)
Right now, I need to go get ready for the carpenter. They called me up and told me that there is a service charge for the carpenter coming over. Kinda pissed, but what can I do? **sigh** Oh well…

I am Hulkamania running wild through Joe…

Mark is sinigng the Hulk Hogan song right now. Ah, the Hogan renaisance…I’m surprised that he is still so popular. I saw him wrestle on TV. Gawd, he is so old; it like watching in slo-mo.
Anyway, after work headed to the store to help out with cap/gown again. Want to goto an early showing of Star Wars tomorrow, but will head to my insurance to take care of that. **sigh** Not looking forward to it. Then in the afternoon, hopefully, I can get my bed up to my room. Will also work on Mike’s computer and try to get it networked and stuff. Then that night, will go see the new Hugh Grant movie, maybe with Mary if she can get out of work.
Did random journals and somehow got to a community that reviews journals. I want to submit my journal, but I know that it would get ripped apart. I really need to work on it; better design/colors, better content.
Current mood: chipper

I Am Joe’s Tired Ass…

But at least I was able to get the DSL working again. WHOOHOO!!!!!
**yawn** but I am so tired. After work, I stop by the store to pick up the Wireless DSL router. At the store, I saw Reina and we started talking and ended up shopping at Home Depot and Target. Spent about $50 total, but I am returning some things. Well total, I have spent about $300 in bills and stuff for the home. Still haven’t got insurance yet. **sigh** I hope that I can find some less than $200; like around $150. But I’m not getting my hopes high.
Was going to see Star Wars tomorrow night at midnight, but Angie called me and told me that all of the midnight showings in the city are sold out. 🙁 Will wait until the weekend and see it with the girlfriend on Sat. Hopefully, she can get tickets…
Well, Mike is out at the library and I am working on copying his CD’s to my hard drive. I should work on his computer. I tried to upgrade it to Windows 98, but it got real ugly. He has a Dell that he got from his Dad. But it is so old; Pentium II 266, 64MB RAM, 6GB hard drive. I tried to install Win 98, but it didn’t go well. I need to download a shit load of drivers for his stuff (His dad didn’t give him a backup CD or anything.) Anyway, I will worry about that tomorrow or Thursday.
I need to watch out about copying new CD’s to my hard drive; heard about all these CD’s that kill computers, PC’s and Macs. Yuck.

I am Joe’s Worse Nightmare Come True….

So I called the admisions office to get a letter saying that I’m graduating so I can get a discount on my car. I get transfered to another person and she tells me that she hasn’t worked on my case yet.
HAVEN’T WORKED ON MY CASE YET?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!
My last name is Rogers and I turned in my stuff in on time, days before it was due. My last name starts with an “r”, in what fucked up language is r the last letter of the alphebet. AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!
**SIGH** O.K. I am not going to freak out (much).
