Apologies, and a Rant

First off, an apology to anyone who gets freaked out by this, but I'm quite upset.

J**** M*********ing H. CHRIST.

I went to bed at an ungodly early hour, told people I was working the day shift today, and wake up bright and early to go to work at U8TV, and it turns out that I can't even trust my own goddamn memory.

I work at 8 PM tonight, not AM. So now all I can do is fucking come back home, wasting another hour of my waking life and my own coin on the subway, and sit in front of a monitor or TV screen at home, only to return in 12 hours.

I have have fucking nothing to do now. Usually I'm happy to do nothing, but this time I'm just peeved. I've told everyone I'm working the day shift, so everyone thinks I'm at work. How wrong I was.

I want to quit. The most that I'm going to get out of the rest of this company's lifespan is a few hundred dollars. But the stress I've accumulated from it is just not worth the trouble. And because the people I'm recording are being all secretive now ('cause their lives are up in 2 weeks on the show - reality SUCKS), it just makes me want to put the cameras on a wide view, turn up an ambient microphone and leave.

Maybe I'll just go hide in a fucking cave for a few months. By that time my damn mind might be empty enough to remember when I'm supposed to work.

I almost just went to Future Shop and picked up the PDA. I have no more patience for my own memory.

Yayy, I got my Palm today. I've just had a crappy day, and decided now would be a good time to pick me up.

My Dad didn't seem to think I needed one... as he caught me saying, "I want one". Not need, want. *rolls eyes*

This was what I wrote to test it out...
"My first memo written in graffiti... This is tricky - but I'll get the hang of it eventually." The auto-complete helps a lot, but I need to work on the cellpoint settings - I have to tap lower than I should on the screen to select things, but I guess that will come with practice.

Amazingly, I have to still mail-out that thing for an expansion card (with a whole bunch of grad-related programs on it), but this also came with an additional 16MB of memory, as a gift. Not bad. :)

Ah, a very lonely person indeed. You seem to be going
all the right places with love, yet you might have lost someone very dear
to you for whatever reason. With every inch of that soul in your body, you
strive to get them back.

You are waiting to go at it with that special someone. Most likely, it
will be dark and romantic and special when you have it. You could go
hours into the night since you do not sleep much anyway.

What's Your Mankin Style?.

Playing with my Palm is so fun :) I'm still working on putting all my schedule in it, but it will become faster as I "type" better. One little gripe I have with it is that it doesn't let me schedule things overnight, so for example, this shift from 8pm to 8am is two different entries on two different days. I guess that's primarily because the system is designed for Dai-to-Day businesses, but you'd think they could program a workaround for that.

Never a dull day in the Loft, nosiree... [/sarcasm]

I've got a hunger for Darjeeling tea, and they don't have any here :( That's Belldandy's favorite tea, and when I initially discovered that, I drank nothing but Darjeeling. :)

I've read through the manual, and it actually is very bare-bones than I expected... however, I found a built-in pointing program that lets me reset the stylus so that I don't screw up and hit the wrong buttons, because I have to tap lower. Now it works dead-on. :)

It wasn't a case of "read the manual"; it was a case of "tinker and try everything until something gives". ;)

Palm details

If anyone's wondering; I'm feeling better considering my state of mind this morning.

So, let me give ya a bit of info on the Palm.

It's an M125, which is a really basic B&W model. Palm has been advertising a special - buy a Palm M125 or M130 (that one's colour one and $150 more), get a "Graduation Expansion Card which has some neat business-like programs on it, as well as an eBook of "The Graduate".

So, I go to Future Shop, and lo and behold, there's an "Open Box" M125 laying in a display case. It's $30 less than an unopened box, and there's nothing wrong with it that I can see. So, I end up purchasing that. (It came with a Ziploc bag of manuals, and the UPC code, because they can't store all the boxes.)

The person who originally had it didn't clean out his information - there was a couple of memos and addresses. I cleaned them off quickly.

So, once I get the cradle hooked up to my computer (quick-n-easy), I HotSync it with the software and now I have my Palm Desktop, too. :)

later looking through the manuals, I find a package labelled "a gift from Palm". A 16MB Expansion Card is inside.

So now, I have an 8MB Palm (with only 1MB full), 16MB additional memory, and a mail-in form for the Graduation Card.

Not a bad value at all for $270. :)

What am I gonna do with 24MB of (primarily) text-only memory? I could probably write the Great Canadian Novel that my Broadcasting teacher oh-so-wanted us to create :P

Took a catnap at 4:00 for 2 hours before getting ready for the overnight shift, and I'm feeling good right now. Hopefully I can manage for the rest of the night. :)
