so it's spring time again...

not a big fan of spring fashions... not a very pastel-y person, although I am feeling the linens...

problem with linen is that it's a bitch to maintain... not something you can keep unwrinkled... but that's how it rolls. it's got to keep it real.

aaand, whatever.

so my allergies are kicking up with a vengence this year... tried to go with these herbal pillules... worked a bit, but not enough... went with nasonex, but that didn't help my itchy eyes... took out the contacts and went back to zyrtec.

allergies suck.

so, since I'm not wearing contacts, I've noticed that it is imperative to keep my hair cut, because the sideburns look STUPID when they get too long.

also, I don't like not being able to see when I wake up in the morning... and since I don't like to sleep with my glasses on my face...

well, you get the idea.

... ... ...

played poker last night... as I do every tuesday with my co-workers... why do I play? because there is really nothing else that would take precedence over it...

I'd much rather be having dinner with my family, but since flying home wouldn't be conducive to my project's budget, that's out.

... ... ...

I've rediscovered text based games. have I mentioned that before? no? if I did, so what... I'm talking about it now.

hitchhiker's guide to the galazy, adventure, zork I, II, III...

crazy. I found an apple IIe emulator, and I can play that, oregon trail, castle wolfenstein, and some other's I can't think of...

it's very nice, because I can play them while I'm at work, and it actually looks like I'm doing work...

that is until someone actually reads what is on my screen...

open door
get all
drop lantern
kill troll
kill troll
diagnose
get egg
up
west
east

not to mentione all of the text that pops up describing the rooms and whatever.

... ... ...

I would totally get fired but for the simple fact that I get it done. "it" being whatever work it is that I need to look like I'm doing.

it also helps that, for some reason, I work best after 6pm... it could be because no one is here and the place is quiet and I've exhausted all possible scenarios to not doing real work... by 6pm, I've checked all 12 e-mail accounts three to five times, I've checked all of the link blogs and the sub-link blogs three to five times, I've read all of the news for the day, I've read about random things in wikipedia (those links within articles just keep me going and going and going...), I've looked up a handful of tidbits at imdb.com, I've read through a number of movie transcripts, and I've played a few text games or sudoku games...

frankly, I'm surprised I get anything done.

you know that feeling you get when you don't want to do work?

yeah.

... ... ...

it's 11:30am.

typically, I would im my roommate and we would go to lunch because we just need to be out of the office.

he's on vacation.

so I'm going to leave and sleep at my apartment.

and eat caffeine, because that should suffciently kill my appetite for a few hours.

... ... ...

by the time I get back, I should be in the mood to start doing something productive.

... ... ...

have a nice day! hope you were as productive as me! :-P
