Well, i survived the week. For a while there I wasn’t too sure.
Sunday the main development server died, monday saw the main windows server fail, and thursday the office firewall went south for the winter.
It was a bad week for technology. Somehow everyone made it through though, and that’s important.
I went through my performance review, and I did quite well. I even got a 23K raise, which is the biggest increase I’ve ever seen in my life. It’ll come in handy later this year when I have to pay all the taxes I didn’t pay last year.
Oh well. It’s only money, and it’s only ever a problem when you don’t have it and need it.
I met someone by the way. We’ve talked a few times, and I must admit, I enjoy speaking with her. Nothing definite has come out of this, but I’m somewhat optimistic. She’s a little young, but she’s very pretty, and extremely charming. Even if nothing else comes out of it, I think I’d like her as a friend. I actually had the chance to speak with her for more than 2 minutes yesterday, and I found her to be both honest and approachable. We’ll see what the future holds though.
I was going to go to work today, but I’m not really in the mood, I don’t really need to be there, and I’m feeling somewhat less motivated. It would make monday less crazy, but I don’t mind a little crazy. I’d much rather be busy than bored!
My mom is flying up from wherever she’s been for the past 6 months to spend a few weeks with my grandfather. I haven’t mentioned it, but I know the reason why. My parents are not coming back to canada for a few years, and he’ll be dead by then. As it is, he’s very old and quite frail. I should go see him, but I do not have the courage. I’d love to give some fancy excuse, but it’s just that.
Next weekend I’m going to Vancouver to see my mom for a few hours, that should be fun. I also may get the chance to see K! THAT will be extremely cool, it’s been like a year and a half.
I’m done here, I’ll write again.
