Still waiting to hear from someone at someplace about my damn internet. I'm seriously starting to think about taking my business to a crapier company. I know it's not speakeasy's fault but I need my damn internet. I need my internet like a smack head needs his next fix. I feel like I've been on rehab or methadone treatment. Getting email and reading a couple pages while at a friends place or work. But no access to my server with its goodies.

Just called them. The guy I'm working with was supposed to call back in 3-5 min. It't been 10. things are not looking good.

Going to smith rock this weekend. Gonna camp and climb. I hope the weather is good.

Also I gotta call the landlord person and find out where to send my rent check.

update 12:23pm: called ISP again. Still nothing haven't heard from my guy in a while now. Left a message this time. Doubt it will do any good I have left a message previously and nothing. All I want is an update or them to say there is no update. Something!

2:15pm: Heard back from them at 12:35. Not gonna happen. Tried calling Qwest and no go from them. So back to comshaft. I may still VoIP with Vonage or something. But I'm very sad... Now I have to go back to breaking service agreements... I mean um no more hosting by Ben....

3day weekend with no solid plans at this point. I will spend some more time moving in and attemping to make my place look like a place where someone lives not a place where someone tossed their stuff all the hell over the place.

Next weekend is camping/climbing at Smith Rock. That will be fun.

Still no word from my ISP. I bet they still haven't heard from new edge networks. So I'm gonna call them at lunch and see what I can find out.

My ISP is waiting for one of their 3rd party vendors to get back to them. This company was also a problem when I got my DSL. New Edge Networks likes to take their sweet ass time doing things. Which is annoying but possibly worth the wait.

I havent quite yet started shopping other DSL providers in the area because the others suck. But I'm gonna start looking for others that will allow for hosting. Worst case I get comshaft and break terms of service to host stuff.

I moved.
much to do still

No internet at home yet but I'm working on it. I'm gonna see about getting the Naked DSL and maybe VoiceOver IP as well. Then I will have a local Eugene number with a ton more features for about the same price as just a dialtone would be.

I'm going to be filling out plenty of change of address forms here soon. As the place is as good as mine it becomes all legal and offical tomorrow but it's mine. The money thing will be a bit of a trick to work out I think I'm gonna have to borrow some. But it's all good. So I will most likely be moving next week... Damn this is crzy.

My shoulder is feeling much better today.

Chris called me the other day and was buying a 40 something inch tv so He will need someone to "babysit" his current 27inch TV. That would be me. That will be cool. for the both of us. Granted its not as sweet as Nathans FifitySeven inch TV but its still pretty sweet.

I need to call my ISP and start asking questions like if I''m gonna need a diffrent prodiver or if I can move them to that location etc.

I found a place. It's not too small I can have Murray (the cat) it's less than $500 it's got a small deck and is pretty private and it is kinda near Nathan. Just off a diffrent part of Dillard that is off Hilyard. Downside it is a big house with a buncha other studios in it and no oven or stove, not that I would use one much anyways but a hot surface would be nessary at some point. But the place seemed quite and the area seemed nice. I'm gonna call and ask some more qestions.

I hurt my shoulder racing a coworker down the stairs at work yesterday. But I was in training all day today so I didn't talk to more than 3 people on the phone at work which was nice.

It's been 1 month since I decided we should go our own ways. I've done some new things. I've learned alot about my self. I've realized a lot of things. I see things I didn't see, a month ago. It is all still very strange very new. Not bad, not regretting it.

Adapting.
Learning.
Living.

I've been to the gym at work 3 times now. Still not into a routine but getting there. My body has protested some. Stair's are not fun to go down, while up isn't so bad. It' kind of hurts to turn the wheel in my car and move my arms around in other ways. But it's all a good hurt so far. Nothing feels like it's torn, swollen, or otherwise not working properly.

Tonight I think I might vist with Rob check out his new place and maybe discuss moving in with him for a while until I can find a place that I like or one that doesn't suck. As I am about a half month from homeless.

Was at work til 6pm doin my job cause the others didn't want to do theirs and took off before they should have or just refused to work. I'm a little pissed but hopefuly when I get the paycheck with all the OT on it it will be worth it. By the time I get it I'm sure I will have forgotten the whole incident and will be glad to have the cash on hand.

I need to ask about a schedule change.

Ive got stuff to do like take out the trash and maybe clean the litter box.

Looked at a couple other places yesterday got a hand ful of others to call come monday. I also took a nap yesterday and paid my bills.

I got off my ass and went to the gym at work last night. I'm not sore from it which I was expecting. It's not that I don't feel it, I'm just not sore more tight than anything else.

I'm at Nathan's. I got up early and came over rather than staying the night last night cause Cobalt wasn't too happy to see me. It took me 20 or so min to get him back in to the Car Hole once I let him out. Nathan's Cat on the other hand was glad to see me.

Got my climbing shoes. I even got to use them some. Then after that we went got drinks and food.

Today maybe a bit long from the early start and stay who knows how late at work again. I've ended up staying late at work everynight this week to clear out the queue. I should look into getting of the shift I am on at some point.

I'm still waiting for a call back from a place I called yesterday. Perhaps I will call again at lunch or break time and see what's up. The place takes cat's and isn't tooo expensive.

Got a bonus at work. Gonna get some climbing shoes with it and attempt to not spend it all. Although it would be far to easy to spend it at REI considering I want a sleeping pad, frame pack, a new GPS, I will need more climbing gear eventualy. Just shoes today. The rest towards the move/new place and or bills.

I killed one of the fishes. Not the beta though who looked like he has been ready to die for months. But the gold fish. I was feeding them at least every other day and if not every day. I wasn't the most consistant about the feeding time or doing it daily but he died. So I flushed him.

Tonight I start house sitting for Nathan. I will be feeding his fishes and cat and dog.

I've also got to call on a couple places to maybe see and maybe live.

Damn I got a lotta crap going on...

Long day at work. Most of the customers needed special attention. Special like helmets, bibs and a driver.

Hung out with chris some. Got keys so i can watch Nathan's and feed his pets place until he gets back Saturday.

I again planed to use the gym at work tonight but ended up getting dinner with Chris and hanging out with him and Nathan for a hour or 2. Now it's 9 and I'm nearly exhausted but it's far to early for bed.

Its strange to come home anymore. I guess thats part of why I'm looking to find a place to call my own. To be on my own in my own place. I just hope I am ready for it. But if I'm not I will have to learn real quick. Sink or Swim. Trive or die.

It's been a strange past few weeks. I have a feeling I have many more ahead. I don't fear them I also don't entirely look foward to them.

I'm thinking I may hit the gym at work tonight.

Work was long I had a long call for the new product on a nearly non-existant OS. And the product doesnt work so well on said OS. So I have to try and fix it. When infact it is not going to work for what ever damn reason it is. So I got home nearly an hour late. But overtime is good.

Looked at a place today. Also small but with a loft for what would most likely just be a matress or a airmatress. The place had everything, washer/dryer, shower, small kitchen, patio, french doors. But small and cost nearly $500. I'm not 100% sure I could get all my geeky crap in there and have it look halfway decent or have it in some kind of order.

Got my badge (I think) turned on for 24/7 access to work so I can use the gym at work. Which is something I had previously kept forgeting/neglecting to do.

Gonna watch Nathan's place for him a couple of nights this week. Maybe throw a huge party and trash the place. Well I won't really. I don't know enough people to have a huge party so just a small one.

A good monday all and all.

Took a look at another place yesterday. It would have been great if I didn't own anything other than a bed and a desk. Well I don't own much more than that. I actually don't even own a bed at this point. But the place was just too small. It was a cool place but too small.

Waiting for a call back on another little place. Hopefuly an apointment can be made to see it.

The weather has been crapy. Hopefuly it will be getting nice again soon.

I'm not sure where to start, so I won't. But things are going good. I'm tiredI've been out being productive.

I have looked at a couple places. So far no winners. The last one was supposedly a 1bedroom or a studio avilable. But it was just 2 rooms in some deaf old ladys house. It was weird and annoying. The hunt is still on I'm wating to get an chance to look at a studio with a loft soon that place sounds good but I will have to see it 1st.

May go to a party tonight and get to hang out with Cat, Rae, Andy and other people I will most likely not know. Then again I may just passout.

Today will be EASY! Training until 3ish pm. Then some project time then some phone time then at 5 I go home or hang out and do stuff with friends. Oh and free doughnuts.

Started looking at places. So far nothing that looks like a decent place will allow cats. I found one but the area is a bit, well ghetto. And no off street parking. Off street parking is nearly a must. I'm about to give up on keeping the cat cause some of the places that don't allow them sound damn cool. So the hunt is still on gonna perhaps setup some apts for tomorrow to view a couple of places.

The whole less sleep thing kicks my ass in the morning but once I'm going I'm good. My body is like "I remember this game. BRING IT!" I guess working graveyard for a year and staying up late all those other years is paying off.

Today I plan to look more seriously for a new place to live. I'm not sure if I like the idea of aparment hunting. And my rental history much like my credit history is quite slim. I've just over one year rental history and I never really even spoke with the landlord type people.

Tomorrow I get training most of the day at work. The last couple days have been pretty busy. Hopefuly things will start calming down soon if not it's no biggie.

I was in Portland since Saturday. Got back yesterday. Went to Chris' party. Went on a hike at Forest Park. Went to Moby Concert. Got some new Shirts.

Yesterday my car got oil changed. Helped a friend move. And again stayed out and up later.

I need to get stuff at safeway.

Time for work.
