fine. be that way.
so after a few weeks of meaningless posts, i figure i should actually put some effort into a substantial update...

so lets see...since i really did an update, i've finished training and am now working fulltime in the role for which i trained (funny how that works. the job is groovy enough, and folks i sit near are pretty groovy.

my financial chaos is getting a bit better...3 more paycheques and i should be almost caught up...lol. silly rogers cut off my phone, but i should have that resolved by this weekend. the rent situation is still hanging over my head, but with the overlords patience, shall be fully up to date by mid january, maybe sooner if i can stay sane being broke for christmas. christmas is hard as hell for me...has been since i made the realization that i am in fact an orphan, made especially biting by the fact that both parents are still alive, but choose to not be parents...c'est la vie
so i survive the christmas season by finacially compensating for the gaping holes in my emotional state as toys = happy. its going to be especially rough this year, surrounded by 'christmas spirit' and the like at work and a gaping hole in my social life, having ignored my friends last year during my 'sabbatical' from cable. i honestly didn't mean to ignore anybody, i was just incapable of human contact i guess...my current plight is to work as much as possible over christmas and avoid long drawn out spells of christmas tv at home...if i can avoid down time, i should be okay...and the extra hours will certainly help my financial status.

got all heavy there...yowsa. lets see, news on a mellower level...i spent saturday night attempting to get the futon up into the loft. the frame went beautifully, one piece at a time, smooth like butter...the mattress on the other hand took a solid 4 hours of 'magyvering' and eventually ended up needing an intricate setup to make possible. i'd draw diagrams, but i have yet to find visio for linux, so you'll have to imagine for yourself.
the work was well worth the effort though, as i'm loving sleeping up there. its like my own little cubby hole and it keeps me from watching tv from bed and late night email/msn checks.

i've pretty much decided to get a pda for me for christmas. the problem lies in 'which one'...it really doesn't make much sense for me to get a phone model from rogers since my service from bell will be free, with unlimited data. the treo 600 is a beautiful toy, but also seems silly since the 650 is coming and has a far superior camera, is bluetooth enabled and more memory. rogers is offering it at $399 with a 3 year contract, $449 with 2 year, $649 with 1 year and $729 with no term...canada computers is selling it for $599...evil. seems kind of silly to pay that much for a phone i won't get free service on...
so i figure i'll try a pocket pc with no phone for now. in 6 months, when bell gets the treo 650, i'll go that route. i guess...blah. i can't decide. i've litterally changed my mind 4 times since i started writing this paragraph. but hp has this little puppy, which is oooo so sweet...and canada computers is selling it for a cool $668. i wanna i wanna....
thats enough drooling for one night....chances are, i'll change my mind completely, just buy a new power supply for the hate machine, get a new monitor and maybe a sound card...that will leave me with some christmas mad money...not to mention rent.
