Penguinized

I've been bitten by the Linux penguin! Days 2 & 3 have been 75% Linux. I've used Windows only for things I haven't quite figured out how to get working in Linux. I'm bummmed that .wma files won't play in Linux, meaning I'll have to convert all my .wma files to .mp3 files and reburn them to CD's which is irritating because I just used up my way cool "vinyl" blank CD's. They look like little records!!! And I can't get my CD writer to write in Linux nor can I get the wireless networking to work. Both minor problems since the word online is that those things should work...or have for other owners of the same computer.

Silly me! I forget that I should wear my glasses when using the computer a lot and then wonder why I get so sleepy! DUH!

Vacation time is almost here. I'm so broke in an "I can't afford to spend the money I have" way. It will work out...it will. Who needs to eat or buy gas for the rental?

And yes, I'm working in Linux right now...in case you were wondering. Oh, the job hunt. Well, with vacation in a few days and being gone for a week I'm putting that on hold until I get back unless someone gives me an awesome job lead that I can't pass up.

happy birthday to me, I'll be 40 in 6 days, I'll be 40 and unemployed, happy birthday to me!

Y'know, with all the other crap that's happened in the past 6 years...I really don't care! I think back to the divorce, the grandma funeral, the dad funeral, the "friend" from hell, to depression and back and now the job thing. It's nothing in comparison. Oh yeah, it'll be tight until I find something else but it could be worse.

Back to my Linuxverse where things like gimp, xmms, mounting drives, Konquerer, and other weird terms are becoming familiar.
