Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Artistic reasons or not, I'd like to see Chapelle stalk the freakin' painter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Of course, I just had to go spoil myself.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
In onlyspecialtome news, I had a nap today! I am very pleased with myself. And Isaac stood on his own for about 3 seconds. He's very pleased with himself.
And dang, I want to set up a flickr account or something to show off his waving picture. But I'm not sure I can do it while he's crawling around my toes.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
So, the good news is, I still have a job.
The bad news is, it's a crappy job.
They've decided to move the help desks for the various locations to one of our location. Currently the three of us rotate who handles the help desk from week to week. Starting in mid-March, 1 of us will be a full-time technician and the other 2 will become permanent help desk staffers. I will be one of the latter. The CIO's goal is for 95% of all trouble tickets to be handled by the help desk, without having to dispatch a technician to the user's desk. Meaning, I'll be chained down to a desk from 8 to 5 every day. It will also be a desk shared by 2 other people and out in the open, so expect me to become very dark gray once this goes into effect.
I took a job 8 years ago as a PC technician, which meant physically going out and fixing stuff. I enjoy "getting my hands dirty". Answering the phones has been bad enough when it's only 1 week out of 3 and I've got the ability to transfer them to a cellphone when I need to run and fix a problem physically.
I am very unhappy about this turn of events.
But, as I said, I still have a job, my health, my family and my finances are stable. Things could be much worse.

Ugh, Kalshane. Will you start looking elsewhere?
YAY Burrell!

I don't know. I like the people I work with. I love my 5 minute commute and being able to go home for lunch every day. And the CIO was making noise about how this is only the first stage of the department restructuring, and that additional positions may open up as the restructuring happens. So I might be able to get a promotion or change of position or something, but who knows when that will be. I'll probably start taking a pre-cursory glance around and see what else is out there, but unless something grabs me, I'm going to stick around at least until I see how permanent a change this is.
