The project that just won’t go away.

Just a little upset right now, I have taken 2 days of vacation to finish up the server installation project I have been working on and unfortunitly I still have more work to do on it. So another half of day of vacation is what I am bound for. What a sucky way to spend you vacation, I mean thus far I have spent 70 + hours of my time for chump change (not even minimum wage at this point) and they have the audacity to go behind my back and get a quote for installing wireless. THEN ask me if that is a good deal, when that is what they originally wanted me to do for them and THEY decided not to do, what audacity. I should have let them pay the additional 500 bucks to get it done (I did it in under 1 minute, free of charge). It is just such a smack to my face to have them place so little confidence in me when all the problems I have had were hardware/software related and not my ignorance. I just want this to be done.

Anyway, on to something else…I have decided that I must sell my anime collection. 4000+ dollars worth of stuff…cries. But I have no choice, what is the point of keeping things that I may never watch again when I can sell them and get some kind of return for it? So after looking at Ebay and some other sites that actually buy your used DVD’s (for next to nothing I might add <_<) it was determined Amazon is my friend. I knew I wasn’t going to get what I paid for them and there is the risk no one will buy them but what was it going to hurt to try?

So Amazon lets me set the price allowing me to see what others have theirs listed at and all for a 15% fee at time of sale. They give you 2.98 per listing worth of shipping credit, no big deal but that is about the average shipping costs for USPS. After listing every thing in my collection, it all comes to 2,800 retail or 2,600ish take home (before actual shipping charges). So I might wind up with about 2 grand all said and done. Not bad, but will they sale? After 8 days I have had 18 orders as follows:

Total Payments Received: USD 373.62
Total Payments Canceled: USD 35.98
Total Payment Fees: USD -88.30
Grand Total: USD 321.30

Not bad at all and hopefully the rest will sale just the same. If you are interested here is my storefront! Please help a brother out? lol

Evolution

Evolution is an interesting concept…it doesn’t mean the evolving of one organism into completely different one all at once. But it has the implication that one thing progressively changes towards something else little by little. Like a metamorphoses or mutation (mutation doesn’t have a negative connotation even though that is what people normally associated with the term) from a caterpillar into a butterfly. While that is a more drastic change, most evolutionary changes are very minute and fairly unnoticeable until there are enough of them to be seen. I don’t believe the evolutionary theory on the scale Darwin had it but it really makes one think about how we evolve in the various aspects of our lives.

I had always viewed my life in a futuristic tense where all these wonderful things were going to happen in the far off distance, marriage, a house, children of my own…all sometime later...like in 3-4 years. First it was when I am in my 20’s…then it was when I finish college. Now, 25 and finished with college, I still feel that way; like I am still waiting for my life to happen, but I am also rational enough to think…if not now…when? From that, I have realized that while I have worked towards those things, I have given them the unrealistic expectation that they are just going to fall in my lap and thus not capitalized on my life. Life is short, the last 10 years have seemed like moments and it isn’t getting any better.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not running out to buy a house or anything but I am going to work harder then ever to achieve more in my life. Not just the big things like buying the house, however those goals are there, but the little things that we don’t normally focus on as well. A better job, getting out of debt having the things I want, marriage, and even a house are all newly evaluated. Just where to place them? Which lends the question…where is my evolution taking me…yep I am now a monkey <_<

Death Bed

Well it has been a while…did you miss me? I have been very sick here lately. Friday I started feeling bad after lunch and with only 4 or so hours till I went home I figured I would just tough it out. I am normally not the type of person that gets hot or cold just sitting there at my desk but I started getting colder and colder. To the point I got up and went outside to warm back up (Is in the 90’s here) I didn’t think much about it till about time for me to go home. The fingers on my right hand started going numb O_O

Knowing that when your body gets cold blood circulation to your extremities becomes limited I figured I would drive home and see if it got better by then, if not I was off to the hospital. I drove all the way home with no AC in my 100+ something car…still coldish. My hand did regain feeling but I knew I was bad sick (temp was only 101.3 but I was floored) I curled up in my bed under several blankets and with several layers of clothes x_x

After taking a lot of drugs and staying in bed all weekend (thus missing my Carowinds trip U_U) I at least got my temperature broke. But then my sinuses where clogged up, so I took sinus medicine. That cleared my sinus up but it moved to my chest (where a 300 lbs fat man has been sitting all week) and now I have a cough that feels like I am tossing my lungs out of my chest and yanking them back in every 30 seconds. s_s

So I am going to the doctor today (I hate doctors) mainly because I have been sick like this 3 times this year and normally I only get sick once…I just need to get it all out of my system.

On a side note 100 unique visitors!!! I am impressed that many people actually found my random craziness…I hope that all didn’t go insane.
