What you get when my brain crashes…

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Turkey Day, everyone!

Happy System Administrator’s Day!

Yay for me! And to all the other Sysadmins out there - happy Sysadmin day!

Christmas Eve in Australia

Well, it’s not that cold out, and it’s certainly not snowing, but it’s definitely Christmas Eve. You might as well imagine things here as in that Corona Light commercial that always plays at Christmas time - the one of the palm tree at night being lit up with lights while someone slowly whistles “Oh Christmas Tree.”

To mark the occasion, I had a warm, luxurious bath in the spa while listening (and occasionally singing) to Christmas carols on Amanda’s iPod. Now this is a Christmas tradition I could get used to!

To everyone back home - Merry Christmas!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!

Best wishes to everyone for a happy & prosperous (emphasis on the prosperous) 2004.

Cheers!

Current mood: Tired

Currently listening to: The sound of my humidifier

Some more loot I forgot to mention: a super-kewl new 52x CD burner. Yahoo! I can burn at more than 4x… FINALLY! It only took me… 3 years…

Also a wicked cool wine rack, which means that I actually have a place to store all the hidden alcohol in my house… and a place for all that stemware!

As an aside, someone has been complaining to me that I just whine & bitch & moan about how awful my life/job is on this “diary” (as this particular person referred to it). I would just like to set the record straight - I said that I had to stop complaining or else I’d change the name of this blog to “Keith’s Angst-O-Rama.” Unfortunately, if I didn’t have anything to complain about, this would be a very boring blog. But, in the interests of SOME readers, I’ll try and keep the “Angst” factor as low as possible. MMMKAY?

Actually… anyone who reads this is welcome to try out my courier job for a year and see how they feel about their life after that long. (Or maybe not - I don’t want to get anyone committed to a mental hospital or anything.)

BLARG.

Yeah, I just needed to get that out.

Did some fun Outlanding the other day with my good buddy PJ - who’s back from Colorado!! Got to explore some of the nooks & crannies of Sutton, and catch up, and eat pizza. Fun!

I have decided, however, that working two jobs has basically caused me to have no life. Which is most definately NOT fun. Outside of this computer here, an online forum or two, and this blog, I basically have no contact with anyone … which is sad. Hopefully this will end soon (by which I mean the “working two jobs” bit). Hey, it’s a new year, right?

Speaking of which, where the heck did 2003 go? *sniff* And I never really got to know it very well…
