No fate but the fate you make for yourself.

Another Saturday night…

So, I skipped out on a party this evening, for various reasons, and am chilling out here at home – I’ve come to the conclusion that I either need more books, or cable. (Or possibly just to get over the things that made me decide to stay in, but that’s a post for another day.) Regardless, I’m in a snarky mood and probably would have said something inappropriate over the course of the evening anyway.

I realized this afternoon that I do in fact have one other call to deal with on Monday – however, I am going to see if I can’t punt it to one of our senior folks, as he helped me with it the first time around – the client came back and said it’s broken again… Being in training through Wednesday, there isn’t going to be a whole lot I can do with it.

I should be working on getting some scripts written for work and/or reference entries done, but both of those require dialing into the system at the office, and I am not in the mood for dealing with dialup right now. Note to self: Ask about the VPN setup before the weather gets bad, and don’t ask the jerk that wouldn’t help you with remote access the last time it came up.

Target has also been disappearing all night. Get out the treats and he’s there, but where he’s been hanging out is a mystery to me.

Going to see the dogs today was a mix of fun and incredibly depressing. They’re all real sweet, but since I can’t get a dog, so I probably shouldn’t go to these things in the first place.

Perhaps the best thing is to simply go to bed…

In re-reading my last entry…

…I am probably one of those people that could skip Christmas entirely and never even notice.
