Towering Above the Rest

Bah.

Stressed already and it looks to only increase.

It’s mainly good stress, the type that I’m good at channeling into getting things done. Lots going on, lots to do but it’s all under control so far. I wonder if I’m being tested a bit, it wouldn’t surprise me at all but a new project has ended up with me and it’s fairly sketchy in everyway. It’s not impossible by any means, it’s just going to take a whole lot of digging and working things out. That is what I do now tho.

It’s amazing how having the word ‘manager’ in a title changes things. I’ve found in the week or so I’ve been using my new title I get a much better reaction from new people I have to deal with. Phone calls and emails are returned noticeably quicker. This is a good thing but it does suck that it has to take that to kick something off.

I’m now booked off on another course and my credits are building up nicely for some actual accreditation. My laptop is on order and I’m pretty satisfied with how I have been handling things so far.

So work is all good. That’s a nice change.

Outside of work…not so good. I guess it’s times for the downs after the ups of the past few weeks. I’m running a little bit back into a rut again and I’m not sure how to climb out of it. There are lots of things going on and lots of friends around for drinks every night but that’s not really what I want.

I am absolutely certain of what I do want, more than I ever have been but it is of course easier to know what you want than to go out and get what you want. That’s some pearl of wisdom eh?

But enough of that. Flickr got a little cooler today with the addition of Explore and more so Interestingness. Good good stuff. I really really want that new camera so I can actually start to contribute something of some level of quality.

I finally started watching the first season of Battlestar Galactica and it’s allright. Enough with the shoving sex into everything tho please while yes I do appreciate the form of Number 6, she’s really fucking irritating. The whole Baltar visions thing just annoys the hell out of me. Cast is pretty decent, it’s not my Apollo and Starbuck but it’s allright I guess. Another 7 or 8 episodes saved up and I’ll be on track with the US. The joys of nothing airing during the summer months…

In other news, I re-read Preacher over the past few days. It’s one of those things that I know is good, I know I like it a lot but I never quite remember how good it is or how much I like it until I go and read it again. Good good stuff.

My tip for new music this year remains Battle. Tendency is a choon!

I mean everything
that falls out my mouth
when I throw my arms around you
