Scott's Thoughts

Start with a BANG!

This week started with a bang. I come in Monday to find out that the young tech has called in, most of our remote sites can't print and several places can't access the server.

Over that last couple fo months I've been fighting a problem with a time out issue to terminal servers. Out of the blue an entire site would be denied access to a particulr terminal server. The response back from remote desktop would state the connection has time out. No MS KB article can explain it and even a google groups search hasn't turned up a clue. The event logs have a little to work with but nothing that is directly related to it. I tried cleaning up some other issues though that may be indirectly causing an issues. I won't be able to tell me results for a few days maybe even a week.

I found out my truck is fixed so I get to spend the day Friday driving up to get it then Saturday driving back down - oh yea. :- I do miss my truck. The poor car I have now is so low to the ground that you have to fall into it and crawl out. It doesn't take bumps well either - bumps I hardly noticed at all in my truck.

I got a new kitten. Sam from work found it wandering around outside one of our outreach clinics. She took it home and called me wanting I know if I could take it. She's got 5 cats already and her room mates weren't real keen on the idea of another. I had enough room mates here agree on it so I pickup him up this weekend. Sam said he looked like Batman with his coloration pattern so I named him Wayne after Bruce Wayne. Nothing says geek like a cat named after a comic book character. He's not real fond of the dogs yet but the dogs immediately took him - like a new crew toy. They think the cat is to play with and that's the problem. If they'd leave it alone it would get use to them. Instead they always want to "play" with him. The dogs scarred off the last cat so I'm not surprised.

I've been spending a lot more time with Josie and talking a lot with her over e-mail. As much as I like her I being to think that even if we did hook up we wouldn't be as happy with each other. She talks about flirting with guys at dance clubs but yet has issues being touched (and not by me). We figured that she had a protected childhood but I was hoping that sh'ed come around or become more comfortable. I'm probably the most comfortable person she's been around and that's saying alot.

This present s problem as I am the type of person that likes to touch and touch often. When I sleep I've got one pillow between my leg, one that is against my back and one that I wrap my arms around. If I had a girlfriend I'd want to wrap my arms around her and lay on the couch together as we watch the tv. It's quite frustrating to have someone flinch away from you just because their foot touched you as you were sitting on the couch. I need some one much more aggressive physically. I find it odd that some one that likes to dance as much as Josie does has intimacy issues. Hmm, maybe it's just that she is looking for something much more attractive than myself. I wouldn't blame her as I myself am very particular but it doesn't mean that it doesn't depress me a bit. In the end I think she only thinks of me as a friend and nothing more.

Speaking of depressed, Mark has a new girlfriend. Oh yeah, another reminder of my own loneliness. They do make a cute couple though and it's been an awfully long time for him. Getting buff from military training probably helped a lot. I'm glad for him, he deserves it.
