Annodex.... check it out.

Very nice

Wow, what a week.

So like, I only worked 20 hours on site. It rocked. But I think I will have to go in on Sat. Bummer but I'll get a lot done.

Almost missed the deadline for one school. PHEW. Had to leave work for a couple of hours to straighten that one out. One school requested my report within 24 hours. It's looking good for law school!

I need to start in Fall. I NEED to start in fall. Imagine me... a lawyer... oh yes, I'll rock.

Today I got my new license plate. Woohoo. Ch1x0r. Yeah.

I had to go into work. Sometimes, I lose it there. There's a guy who made a programming joke, because I was the only one who got it, he calls me codie now.

Sometimes it makes me wonder about this guy who is struggling with *nix commands.

Who died and made him root?

It's really scary in a sense and very pathetic and sad in another.

The questions are like this:

How do I use the find command?

Me, thinking: What can't he find?

How do I make a symbolic link?

Me, thinking: OMG! why! what did you do? and if you can't figure out how to do one, maybe... you aren't the best person to be performing this task...

What is the utility to get the ip address?

Me, thinking: We are SCREWED!

I don't know how to restart tomcat. One week passes....

Well this is bleeding edge technology, noone really knows anything about this...

Me: Well, actually, you see...you need to do this...and this... in that particular order...

But... My ULTIMATE favorite was the chic who demanded that the /bin directory be moved! OMG! She was so upset when someone said no. She started getting loud and was like freaking out.

I was like, whoa.

So, about three weeks later, the perfect opportunity presented itself. Someone had moved the trash can in the aisle. She came by looking for this guy. I say to her, "NOW WHO MOVED THIS BIN!" "That JUST WON'T work there!!!"

ok, so I'm learning to be a beeotch. But I just could not help it.

I worked at this one place recently, where they were taking phone calls for over a year, thinking the error was with their application.

Uh, it was a server issue. I figured it out in one day. And, uh, get this... I'm the tech writer. No, seriously. I'm like, can you fix this error...

error #...

cause:...

solution:...

So I can get the SCREENSHOT for the documentation. Thanks.

100s of man hours were spent on this one thing. No wonder the QA manager quit a couple months after I was hired. Hey, whatever dude.

So I said to my recruiter, listen, don't place me in any proprietary places. Understand that it is difficult for uniquely qualified individuals to work in such an environment.

Law school apps are due this week. I better get cracking.

I actually thought it might be interesting to see how the proprietary people handle *nix. I never help them, because, well, I'm the tech writer. This is going to make for a good book!

Today, I ventured outside. Went bring in some paperwork for getting into law school to my profs

This really materialistic jerk hit me with his brand new 2006 White Ford Mustang. He was only 20. Hey, I can deal with a speed demon, but this guy was just rude.

He was speeding and was one of these really horrible materialistic Business Admin students who isn't good enough to get into the program at the Main campus and is going for the one at East, probably going to try to pass that off as a Business Administration degree from "just" ASU.

In a fight between a 2003 Chevy Blazer and a 2006 Ford Mustang, where the Mustang is speeding, the winner is:

The SUV.

I had a touch of paint from his car. He had a dented hood...With a touch of paint from my SUV - on the hood.

Wow, January already? Spent the holiday in Connecticut. It was nice. Went back to work. Started playing with Glade today. I had test how to link a help file (chm = created with docbook) to an app at work, and I actually used this microsoft app. I was really disappointed because I didn't get to write any code. :(

So then I was like, hey, what is this, you mean... I can write apps without hard coding?? Well, that seems so lame to me but I'm playing around with Glade now.

Got Tomcat to work on the Debian. Wasn't too bad. I guess something inside of me is just screaming "CODE!!"
