day Off

Well, after stressing about work way too much, I'm taking tomorrow off as a Mental Health Day. We used to have them at work sometimes if we'd just had too much. Hadn't had one in awhile, and due to the consultants being there, and the questions that they're asking, I was stressing. I like to think that I've done alot of good at Signal, and that the network design is far better than when I started, and that the consultants' review can just be viewed as a peer-review, and I do crave feedback. But with every question, I feel worse about my competence. They seem to expect that every process is documented, that every setting of every server is documented. That's all great and fine, but we're not there, and I just feel like I'm going to be graded on this. And my programming is far better than my network administration (well, I've been programming for 9 years professional, and network admin'ing for only 3.5 years, so...). So, and I are taking a day off tomorrow (well, she already had it off, but anyways). We're going to have a nice brunch, go see Harry Potter (4th movie), and just hang out tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully I'll de-stress, and realize that it's just a peer review. And when they're done, they'll tell me to implement all of this documentation, and process, and create process, and then I'll get work done in the after hours I'll have so much process to work through. Fun fun fun. Edit: Oh, and let it NOT be said that is NOT very nice. She is going with me to the movie on the FIRST day. Usually a no-no with her. (Because people are stupid and talk through movies and kick seats, she says. There is a special Hell for people who talk through movies (assuming [that] you believe in Hell in the first place).)

Quiz results...

Don't take this at face value... Although I could have swung either way, I'm happily married to my wife and quite monogamous.. You scored 44 Heterosexuality, 59 Homosexuality, and 39 Asexuality! You are either gay or bisexual (preferring your own gender) with a moderate to high sex drive. The higher your score in homosexuality, the more you are attracted to your own gender. A higher asexuality score means that you place a bigger emphasis on the emotional aspects of a relationship and less on the physical.

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 7% on Heterosexuality You scored higher than 91% on Homosexuality You scored higher than 95% on Asexuality

Another shabbes...

Well, another shabbes where I won't be going to shul. Admittedly, it's raining outside, it will be cold tomorrow morning, and my wife is pregnant, so I can understand why she wants me to take her to the bank tomorrow for her work. But I can look forward to the day when she doesn't work there anymore, and then I can go to shul regularly again. I'm also hoping to introduce erev shabbat dinners on friday nights, and actually cook them and all. I also hope to do one Orthodox-compliant shabbes, just to see what it feels like. I got another jewish book, Judaism for Two, I'm interested to see what I has for relationship stuff. Oh, we got Delicious Library for our Mac. Wow. Even with our old 450MHz G4 it still can scan pretty quickly, so we're going to use this to catalog our library. And it's pretty fun, so I think we'll start the hardcovers this Sunday. (Saturday we have my brother Tony over.)

It's a BOY!!!

Well, it's official. The ultrasound showed my son, happily showing off his.. male parts. So, I'll post the scanned images to my flickr account later. Now we're looking at boy clothing, and rethinking the colors for the baby room.

Edit: We've posted the pictures finally.
