First of all,
Happy birthday, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) gottis_chan I hope you had a nice day :)
My day was the usual sort of lazy Saturday; I slept long, then I joined T-chan on a walk with Soya, and then.. we've just had these random weird conversations we're so good at XD (I got Soya a Jul gift; a plush gorilla which she really enjoys chewing on.)
Watched Hidden Floor which was.. nothing new, but okay.
Hmm.. I guess I'll do the daily fucking boring Farmville harvesting. I've really got to stop playing that shit soon.

Today was full of meetings and then an awful amount of tech support. Not productive at all. Though I think we're pretty much settled on hiring this guy as our CTO - if he's still interested after meeting all of us, that is ;)
T-chan and I just watched The Curse of February 29th which was extremely easy to predict; the main point was obvious from the very first spoken line of the movie. Nevertheless it was an okay watch.
Then we spent the rest of the evening messing with the dog. Poor Soya, she must be so confused XD (Also, more talk about RPG maker, lol, some quite interesting ideas there)
Made meatballs today. Lots of them. Yum.
Current mood:  amused
The As are pulling my GPA up, but I sorta wish I could make math work differently for a day and kick it up higher ugghhh
I'm supposed to graduate in Dec 2010 but idk I wonder if I can stay an extra semester and replace some Cs if that's even allowed
fuuu I am so glad Kevin's on vacay this week because I go in in an hour and I really don't wanna do shit, I woke up feeling like crap which is I guess what I get for chillin at my parents' house where people are sick instead of my house where people just work out all the time and make me smell their workout supplements cause omg it smells like sugar cookie
at least now I have a legitfax excuse to call out/leave early tomorrow and go to my friend's birthday
tired
Current mood:  exhausted Current music: Muse - Supermassive Black Hole

More cancelled train. Blah.
Tomorrow we're meeting the most interesting CTO candidate. Funny thing is, he has the same education as me, M-kun and P-kun - but he started a year after us. Though I recently found out that he's born 4 years before me and did some work before starting at university, so now he doesn't feel quite as much as a noob.
He's also into scrum (I'm beginning to think it's some sort of sect, much like the Mac users everybody seems so disturbingly evangelic about it once they start using it) - but he probably has done it for "real" which would be good for us.
Uhhhh what more.. RPG Maker is an amusing program XD I just wish sis could find that "wonderful" little game intro we did years and years ago and then I can stun T-chan with its "brilliance".

My Grandpa Read tried to kill himself two nights ago.
He had it all planned out and even wrote a letter. He took to many pills Tuesday night and we didn’t realize something was up until last night. Grandpa had taken all the phones off of the hook which caused my mother to become worried and suspicious when she tried contacting Grandpa last night and only got a busy signal. My little sister had been trying to contact him earlier in the day and even put a post on Facebook hoping he would read it and hang up his phone correctly. We got in contact with the caretaker to Grandpa’s building as we live about 40 minutes away. She was able to get into the apartment and found Grandpa on the floor awake but not making sense.
Later when my parents arrived at the hospital Grandpa told them he had just fallen but they knew better. The letter told them what he had planned on doing and the state of his apartment just confirmed it.
Grandpa did it because earlier this week we permanently put my Grandma Read in a home splitting them apart. She is in need of better care then Grandpa now can give her. Grandpa is deathly afraid of being alone (and so would I after 50+ years of marriage) and he kept repeating that Grandma no longer needed him.
I am shocked, scared, numb, hurting, angry, sad, everything. This hasn’t happened to me before. I haven’t had someone close to me try to kill themselves.
I don’t know what I would have done last night as I waited for news if I didn’t have my Glee group and my Wife to talk to. All of them tried to keep me smiling, tried to keep me distracted, and they all gave their support. I am so lucky to have found them.
At like 2 in the morning my mom came down to check up on me. I think she might be afraid of what I will do as I battle my own depression. I think I reassured her that I am fine and that I wouldn’t do anything drastic.
Through all of this I keep thinking I am going to loose both Grandparents and that just tares me apart.

Go to your Calendar and find the first entry for each month of 2009 (not including memes of course). Post the first line/sentence of it in your journal, and that's your "Year in Review".
( the results are in )
Summary: I'm posting way too much about work, but.. eh, I don't think that'll stop any time soon.
I think there was something else I was gonna add, but I forgot, so probably nothing important.

Cold + snow = train chaos blah blah trip home took one extra half hour blah blah nothing unexpected. At least there's snow now. I'm not a fan of winter, but after almost two months of raining even I approve of snowfall.
New scrum sprint; we started off with an 2½ hour planning meeting. scrum isn't quite living up to my expectations yet; the meeting overhead has been astoundingly suffocating, but, well. we'll see.
4½ more days before I'm going home.

So, instead of just going with the general "it's soon christmas, take it easy" flow that I was gonna, I decided to clean up some old code. Hoooooly crap that was a mistake, talk about boring.
.."holy crap", by the way, is a really silly expression so I should stop using it. Would holy crap or holy diapers be more tolerable than the usual kind? (If you say "yes" I think I'll just back away slowly)
Well, a little more Tales of Vesperia before it's time to sleep.
Current mood:  pensive
4:11AM
Come on, Emily, A to Z. You're almost done with the semester l, just finish it up properly.

Taking a shower nowadays really pisses me off. Stupid shower with its stupid lack of pressure. It takes almost twice as long now to get the shampoo and conditioner out of my hair. It's also a much colder affair to shower now - not because they have limited the temperature range (which they have, too) but because the uh... width? of the actual shower spray is much smaller, so only part of me actually get hit by the hot water and the rest of me is freezing.
So I guess this is "saving water by stopping people from taking these sucky showers altogether". Good plan, Uppsalahem. Yeah, I'll look into buying my own shower head, but what the fuck.
Continued on with the story in Tales of Vesperia today. Who would have thought I had it in me.. Am not gonna go into details on how far - or not - I am in the game, since that would probably result in sarcastic comments.
*sigh* Monday tomorrow, and work with that. Although I'm not totally depressed; after all, there's only 6½ working days left before I go home for Jul.
Current mood:  accomplished
I am almost done. I am almost. fucking. done. Not just with this semester, but as of now I have one year left, that's it. One more semester to choose classes, since I already did Spring '10.
Semester GPA breakdown:
Public Law - for sure 98 A, already recorded as such
Astronomy I - unless I skip the final or he forgets to take into account the reason for my absence during Lab 2, no way in hell this isn't an A.
stupid Computing class - concerned about the assignment I forgot, and mathematically it doesn't look great but idk how he'll grade it all so A or B
Phil. of Religion - teetering annoyingly on the lowest A grade in his class, 92, but the whole grade's only three tests (91, 93) and I tend to range from 95-91 in there, so confident A
Juv. Delinquency - the stuff that's been graded including my shit 4th discussion score has me at 89.59 which holy fuck yes with the extra credit final and 4th assignment, easy A
holy shitsticks I have really pulled my stuff together, though kinda pissed at myself for forgetting those CSC assignment and possibly costing myself a 4.0 this semester, not that 3.8 is bad
best case: A A A A A
worst case: A A A A B
still left to do: Astronomy final assignment, CJ final assignment, CSC final assignment, and the finals for PHIL, CJ, and ASTR
Good christ I love downloading bullshit but awesome apps for my phone. I never keep a ledger or a food diary but I'm doing it just because it's fucking cool
Michael Shanks is just ridiculously hot still, sad he dies later in this show
Current mood:  full Current music: Burn Notice

Dogsitting today. Soya was nice & friendly - hadn't expected anything else ♥ Except for talking a couple of walks with her, I've done some reading, and I watched CJ7 which was quite alright, I just wish they hadn't been so cruel to the poor space dog T_T
Uhm.. nothing else, I don't think, unless you count spending a lot of time on the site vilkacis linked me to yesterday: (The Customer Is) Not Always Right, another site about those pesky customers. Loving it. ♥
Ah. Right. I tried out "Noby Noby Boy" too and it confused me. A game which is about.. walking around, eating stuff and.. shitting it out? While making yourself stretch out...? uuuh. Okay.

My new phone is the coolest fucking phone ever
that's really all I have to say
wait shit no also I totally didn't have to go to Public Law this morning because she moved the optional final up to today and I have a 98 in that class, motherfuckers. unfortunately fuuuuuu i realized yesterday that I forgot to turn in this bullshit Access assignment for the CSC class so idk how this will affect my grade, considering it was like one out of a billion other assignments and HE HASN'T GRADED ANY OF THEM YET, but if I don't make an A someone's gettin' murdered
should have an A in everything else barring I don't eff up by Philosophy of Religion final
yeeaaaah 4.0 semester

SJ, in their infinite wisdom, decided to cancel one of the popular morning trains to Stockholm today. So now I - and a couple of hundred more people - am crammed in with the regular travellers on the next train. Brilliant, really.
Someone recently told me I have "panache". After googling this unfamiliar word and thinking on it for a while, I've decided I'm really damn flattered by this XD (And I can't help thinking that if this guy had met me only five years ago, that thought would have never crossed his mind. )
...and for a final unrelated random thought: these jeans, when newly washed, are rather tight. Phew.
Current mood:  aggravated Current music: Chorus - Erasure

That Glee finale just.... rocked. It is sad I have to wait for April to get any new episodes but I knew that for weeks now. The Glee tweets with tide me over.
11:14PM
Managed to finish up a couple of projects today. Also managed to go Bitchmode ™ on new colleague, or rather on his Scrum meeting tactics. FFS, how many times to we need to go through those post-it notes in one single meeting? (The fourth time through, I started to look annoyed so he asked me if I had to hurry to get to my lunch date. "Nooooo," I said, "But I think this is really damn uninteresting")
..well.
I did apologize afterward, telling him that I was sorry for being so rude, and that I'll save my criticism until the time I can phrase it in a more constructive way.
He didn't mind, so I think he got a bonus star from me now.
Though those meetings.. @£@$@ FUCK are they boring.
Current mood: tired

More of the "nothing done", this time because of meetings, meetings, meetings and a phone conference to top it off. Uuuuugh. Makes me so tired I haven't been able to do anything more demanding than playing Tales of Vesperia (yes, still) and even then only running around doing random sub quests. Well, I'll continue with the storyline soon enough I suppose.
Tomorrow.. well if it isn't more meetings. So looking forward to that.
Current mood: tired

I got almost nothing done today, unless you count the tech support, which I don't, because I hate that shit. Oh well. Let's hope tomorrow's better.
Something good did happen today though! Those plumbers arrived and fixed the faucets and well, switched the shower head to a really sucky low pressure one goddammit I want some power in my shower, but at least now they're done. Unless they come back for that disgusting rag they left by the kitchen sink, but sucks to be them, we threw it away.
Current mood: tired

Another strange movie today, and there wasn't even ghosts in it. Lots of blood and gore though.
Otherwise, nothing special. Fixed jul gifts for two people.. at least two more to go. No, three. Which doesn't sound too bothersome but I promise, it is.
