I thought it was 102.  I was wrong.  Guess my email got ripped off the web and inserted into something&#8217;s payload.<\/p>\n<p>Tired today.  Was up late last night after work working on video &#8211; about 70% done i&#8217;d say.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, I have to do tech stuff after work &#8211; perhaps Wednesday i can see <lj user=\"mightywombat\">, since I haven&#8217;t seen him since he got up here &#8216;n shit.<\/p>\n<p>Friday is <lj user=\"chellez\"> b-day.  I made lots of plans, some of which got fubared last night, but we seemed to have recovered well.  She is as curious as a &#8216;coon in a logtrap about what she is getting, but has opted to be patient.  I hope that doesn&#8217;t mean she is going to ransack the office tonight while I am working.  I am psyched about my plans, I hope everything works out the way I want it to&#8230; Lord knows I have done enough plotting to the effect.<\/p>\n<p><lj-cut text=\"a bit about what i have to do tonight\"><br \/>\nSo, for those who don&#8217;t know (and most, who I suppose don&#8217;t care) my folks split up when i was ~ 13, but then got back together again when I was 20ish.  Though they never got divorced formally, a good portion of the problem between my &#8216;rents was some of the people my mom was sleeping with.  Specifically, she got into a hot and heavy with a professional aide my parents hired to deal with my sister (who is multiple handicapped).<\/p>\n<p>Since my parents got back together, my mother has continued to talk to this aide gentleman (we will call him &#8220;Bob&#8221; for lack of a better name).  Furthermore, she has given him the thumbs up to contact me with his technical woes (as I am tech guru to the entire extended clan what spawned me, which is almost a full time job sometimes, especially during virus season).<\/p>\n<p>This guy is very intelligent (albeit very weird) &#8211; but he is also a Luddite.  It makes technical calls hopelessly painful for phone support.  He has dial up, so over-the-wire support is pretty much out too.  He called last night because his machine (which has no virus prot) finally died on him &#8211; so me and my superman CD case are out to Queens to fix things up.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I really kinda hate the guy.  But, I have to be nice to him, otherwise he makes complaints to my mother, who causes chaos with not just me, but my relationship with my father, which I have worked very hard at building bridges in over the past few years.  My dad&#8217;s take on things (even though he once physcailly threatened Bob with death) is that he has to live with my mother, and it is my responsibility as a good son to do what is going to keep her happy, even if it impinges on my (and his) sense of honor\/what is right in the world.<\/p>\n<p>So yeah, in short, I&#8217;m on a tech call from hell for a guy I don&#8217;t even like, who doesn&#8217;t have the cash to pay me for my work.  The more I write about this, the less I want to go, but the more I know I have to.  A few hours a year is a small penance to pay for my mother&#8217;s tranquility when it comes to the matter of her ex-lover.<\/p>\n<p>It just churns my butter sour.<br \/>\n<\/lj-cut><\/p>\n<p>Oh, and if you haven&#8217;t already see it, scope <a href=\"http:\/\/www-edlab.cs.umass.edu\/~ahelblin\/misc\/mac.html\"> this link<\/a> from <lj user=\"docthestampede\">.  I saw it long ago, and it was still worth the re-watch.  For the fruit lovers in the audience, I appreciate your attachment to your world, but I think it is fucking hilarious to make fun of.<\/p>\n<p>Today has been so busy &#8211; i started this post at 8:45.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you all had a good day.<\/p>\n<p>EDIT: This post is brought to you by:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.redgang.net\/albums\/album08\/fluffy.jpg\"><br \/>\nThanks Ken!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I had 1002 emails when I got in to work today.
