travis' brain dump

surf eBay for stuff you don’t really need while listening to some rather interesting industrial genre music. 🙂

No, really – I’ve actually been working today – aside from setting up Mike’s blog but that only took a few minutes. 🙂 I actually didn’t even take lunch today I was so busy. Just glad I had a cup of noodles to eat … Either way, this project is going to be interesting. Everything almost has equal priority and that is a problem seeing as how I’m only going to get so much to set aside for resources to do this thing. Oh well. Enough with work already!!!

I need to go workout again tonight. I’ve got to stay on top of this and keep going until I’ve gotten into the habit again. It’s amazing how at one point in time I would readily get up at 6am to go hit the gym before work and now, the thought of waking up before 7:45 truly disturbs me. I’ll get there, just need to stay on top of it. At least I’ve got my schedule pretty worked out. Tues, Thurs & Saturday (falling back on spare time on Sunday or Friday if Saturday won’t work out) That’s just for muscle work though – cardio has to become a 5-6 day thing if it’s going to work the way I want it to. At least I’m starting to trade out some fat for muscle again. I’m fluctuating on my weight pretty steadily now with minor gain. I don’t expect too much difference for a few more weeks, but the balance and bouncing back and forth is a good sign that my body is starting to align itself. *crosses fingers* I’ve got to get retoned in the next 6-7 weeks … If things are looking well by week 5, I might just enter the Bolder Boulder again… I haven’t done that since the first year I got here so it’s a nice goal for me if I can get myself back in shape from a cardio perspective by then. At least I’ve got someone who will encourage the continued exercise rather than keep me from it. 🙂 Speaking of cardio, ugh, I’ve got to do a full session tonight since I didn’t get to go on my walk today. *grumble* It’s kinda crappy weather outside so I’m subject to a treadmill or something of the sorts. I loathe equipment for cardio training.

Side note, I wonder if my server at home is smoking … *grin* I’m doing quite possibly the most music conversion sessions I’ve ever done right now… the processor is pegged at 100% and has been in such a state for the last 45 minutes … with 1 hour to go. LOL I fully expect to roll home and see a fire truck in front of my house. 😀

So… I guess I should wrap some things up before getting out of here. 🙂

Mike asked me today to set him up a blogsite. We’ll do some customization later, but I figured I would post up a link for him to get him some traffic going. I’ll let him do his own introductions and such. 🙂

There ya go. 🙂

… when faced with the dilemma of whether or not to procrastinate preparing for that one o`clock meeting or actually doing it? write a blog of course!

Nah, I’m actually ready to go, just need to type up one paper so we have some sort of agenda. I really ponder why I enjoy leading these meetings or why I decided to take on managing this project. I honestly think by the end of it I will want to hang myself. Oh well… we’ll see. I really enjoy the development process of new products surrounding our technology… it’s entertaining.

Oddly… that feeling of impending doom that still lingers around today. It’s just been this nagging thing in the back of my mind that something crappy is bound to happen sooner than later. It’s frustrating. Maybe stuff has just felt too good for too long and I’m expecting something to screw it up. *shrug* who knows… it’s irritating and has me “looking over my shoulder” more than it should.

Anyway… got some decent sleep last night, sort of. I think most of it was due to the fact I was completely wiped out from almost zero sleep the night before and I went to work out last night. I thought at one point I was going to collapse from being so tired. Sharon wasn’t doing to well herself while we were working out last night, she wasn’t feeling well. Hopefully she’s not getting sick … that would suck, especially if I caught it. o.O

Tonight… hmmm — I really have no clue what’s going on. Maybe I need to plan that out. I think if I don’t see anyone tonight I’ll end up finishing up that hood I’m working on. It’s something constructive to do to pass the time and it’s productive. I need to get that thing done in the next month so I can get it on my car and keep my turbo cooler with the temperatures rising. I dunno… heh. I think I’ll just play today by ear. I’m in that kind of mood.

Well, I guess I should type up that sheet and go for my walk. As soon as I clear that meeting I think I’m bailing out for the day. yay! 🙂

So why couldn’t I be this tired last night when I needed to sleep? :/

sooo tired … i’m glad i have nothing to do today. the sad fact is, by the time the afternoon rolls around, i’ll be all wound up and wide awake again.
