Scott's Thoughts

The way things are

I feel like crap right now. Ya, I guess that's the best way to start this. My whole day has been crummy. First I pulled a muscle in my back this weekend so it's been sore all day. This morning the over-pass they are constructing near my house shifted traffic and I waited through 2 lights before decided that it was time to find an alternative route making me late getting to work. I spend most of my day working on the phone system instead of being able to do real work. I had to let someone down to because I know have no time to program and haven't for half a year. The other tech I work with continues to be lazy and unprofessional. And last but not least I have a stress headache. Kind of similar to the type of headaches you get when you are mad at something. Lately I've been so stressed I can't help but clentch my teeth which then gives me headaches.


I've been giving things a lot of thought lately. I think I've exhausted my possibilities of finding anyone here in Vegas. Internet ads proved a flop a long time ago, there isn't anyone at work I'd even consider any more, I don't go to school and don't plan on going back to an actual bricks and mortor school and my friends are pretty much a tight group that doesn't branch out. I don't think I'd want to meet the kind of women that frequent bars (maybe coffee shops). I miss Josie but she only wanted me as a friend. I don't know what I'm going to do now and I'm sad to say I'm probably in a better position now to find someone than I was a year ago.


I had some interesting conversation with Ry over dinner yesterday. We both like sushi so we went out to this place at Green Valley Ranch. It's expensive but good. We both talked about writing. He's got some neat manga-based projects he's working on. Ry is such a secretive guy you never know what he's thinking or up to. He's the type that doesn't speak unless he has something to say. He got me thinking about my writing again and maybe get a little more motivation about it. The problem is I'm usually not in the mood and when I am it is 3 in the morning and I have to go to work the next day.


I've been working on another project though. The roomies want a stand to raise our big screen tv about 3 feet off the ground. The problem is the tv is oddly shaped and heavy plus we want to raise it pretty high off the ground for a stand. I ended up building a stand out of 2x4s and plywood. Came out pretty good. The only thing left is to paint it.

Rich wants to see about building a custom gaming table as well. He found a design for one from some web site with built in square grid and put out trays. It'll take a little bit of engineering but I think I can accomidate something similar. I like building things, I always have so I don't mind doing the work.


Sam is back in town so we plan on starting back up on working out. I think it'll help my stress level tremendiously. Working out something to you to help you relax. It's almost like you need to get the blood pumping and exhaust the body in order to relax properly.
