status report

Got my cable modem finally (long, boring story on the delay) – and daaaaaamn. Went from 650kbps down to 5,908kbps down…. quite a big difference. I still run into bottlenecks on some sites, but a lot of stuff that I waited for, is instantaneous now. If I go another week without problems I’m canceling my DSL for good.

I basically told my boss today that I wasn’t happy with my job – that was interesting. She says she wants me to be happy, and whether that’s moving to another department, leaving altogether or changing my current job to fit better, she’s down. So, I have a meeting with an HR director next week with the hopes that she’ll be able to help me figure out what I want to do. Basically I just want to be the guy I was 3 or 4 years ago – excited about my job, always pitching new ideas, and loving my job – just gotta figure out how to get there. It’s an exciting/nervous time.

My iPod wouldn’t load songs I have purchased through iTunes – turns out it was a simple fix. Downloaded an iPod update from Apple.

Saw “Garden State” after work tonight by myself. I absolutely loved that movie, and I’m glad I went solo.

Also rented “The Station Agent” last week. Again, I loved it. Both were Jersey-shot films…

SONG OF THE MOMENT: Simple Kid – “Love’s an Enigma”
