Two and a half more days later...
The draft went smoothly and with only one major hitch as my cable modem company went to hell for about 10 minutes of 40+ percent packet loss. This rendered communication a bit difficult.
The FFIHL site is live. I'm going to be filling in the teams and their rosters today as well as cleaning up the HTML for the
schedule. The greens that the league management software picked are *horrid*.
Three more teams found logos so that is good. Kevin said he'd work on new logos for the teams. He did a great job with
the former teams and their logos, so that will be nice.
I still have the ProStaff interview tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have more options after that meeting. I liked working for
ProStaff in the past. They pay well and treat their employees well.
That's the update for now.

Yeah yeah... It's been two and a half days. ...
Yeah yeah...
It's been two and a half days.
Well, lessee. FFIHL.com still isn't done. The draft order may or may not be changing...which means that if it does, all my work on the website has to change too. At least Mark found the logos for most of the teams from last season.
As for the rest of my life, I have a interview with ProStaff on Monday at 2pm. I'm starting to feel human most of the day
instead of a throbbing headache.
I'm in a major funk today, probably due to Mike dumping me.
I'll write more later after I take a nap and think some more about it. I'm really starting to think that I'm just destined to be a single person.

Has it been one hell of a day... the FFIHL sit...
Has it been one hell of a day...
the FFIHL site got nothing done on it today. I did get the scoring and draft rules out to the GMs of the teams, so it wasn't a completely wasted day.
As for Mikey, well, that's been a rough one...
After a three hour war on Yahoo this morning, he had to go to the doctor and I went to bed. Nothing good had come of the
morning's events and I was in a foul mood. I don't appreciate being told that I like setting myself up for failure because I like being the victim and other stuff. I have the logs of our conversation and it's not a pretty picture.
I woke up about 3PM, still not feeling at all right. I took my antibiotics, the allergy stuff, and yet more anti-runny-poop
stuff and went back to bed.
I got up at like 7.30pm and felt like death. I got up and checked my spam...er...email and started my "day" as it would
be. I got my draft scouting list done, so my team in the FFIHL is ready for the draft on Saturday afternoon.
I got the new Linux kernel and recompiled it. It seems to have fixed the gawdawful virtual memory problems I've been
having with applications seemingly euthanized.
I talked to Dave some. He's such a cute lil cub. Right now, I'd like to get to know him better. This soon after Mike, and
I'm asking for a rebound slap in the face.
Ooops. That let the cat outta the bag didn't it? Yeah, Mike and I are split. I've changed in ways he couldn't put a finger
on from when we met way back when and he got to know me until know. It wasn't the reason or outcome I'd expected. I was expecting either a huge blow up and a FUCK YOU! or we'd quietly patch things up and move on with our lives. Oddly, we parted ways and are going to be friends. We may try dating and a relationship in the future, but not right now.
Tonight shouldn't be an all nighter, my body is totally batting this sinus infection with the antibiotics help and I'm just
wiped out. I think the extent of my fun is going to be moving the Linux system over to the Athlon 600 and the Win2k machine back to the Athlon 900.
I'm a huge Linux fan, but all I'm doing with it now is e-mail management as Outlook is a horrid program. Why can't
someone port Evolution or KMail (or better yet, KDE) to Win32?
*sniffs the air* mmmmm...wood smoke. Someone's fired up their wood burner it seems. It's supposed to be down to 25-
27 here in the "inner burbs". I'm hoping for a good hard freeze. It'll knock the pollen and mold down. That and I'm ready for the leaves to change and the annual colour show that we get from it.
*Yawn* tomorrow, I'll clean up my room, the draft scouting list so it's on draft order, not alphabetical order, and get the
actual FFIHL site done as best I can. We're still wordless on the Ontario Rodents and an new expansion team. I've sent an email to the manager of the Orillia Vipers team as he's the brother of the Ontario manager and knew the expansion team's manager.
Hopefully, I'll have all the information before Wednesday for both teams and can get the site done and Greg can get the
draft and schedule done.
It's just after 1am. I'm heading to bed after a bite to eat.
Good night all....

Ugh. 10am, five hours wasted trying to make dotcomments work on a busted web server. I so love this kind of bullshit. Oh well. I guess we'll see what happens when I try to move my comments off to Stocky Jock and make them work there. They should work as I know it's configured for PHP3.
Well, the FFIHL site is coming along nicely. It's...
Well, the FFIHL site is coming along nicely. It's about half done. Once we get the name of the twelfth team, we'll throw team logos together.
Nothing to report on the Mikey front. It's a quiet Sunday overall. Not a lot happening. I finally got some antibiotics to
fight this damned sinus infection I've had for a few weeks. I'll be happier in a few days once this starts to go away.
Tomorrow, I get to deal with ProStaff and a few other places to find a job. It's that or pay-per-blog to pay the rent. I
s'pose I could always become an escort. Yeah, as if I'd make money doing that.
Actually...
I probably could, but could I afford to cash the reality checks that would be written against my pride and my sense of
self? There is only so much one can do that's against one's own morals before you reach a breaking point.
I'm not in a situation where I'd be forced to sell myself. I'm just between jobs with a lot of bills piling up quickly. That's
life. I'll get something this week and I'll be in good shape by the middle of October.
I'm off to bed after being up way way way way to late yesterday and getting up too "early" at 6pm. I've got to stop this
weekend all nighter crap and get back on my normal schedule.
Hugs and kisses to all who deserve 'em
If you don't...I wanna talk to you *evil grin*

Okay, it's now 10:45am. I have feedback working and auto notification of new feedback works. I'm quite amazed at what I got done in my now quite comatose state. I'm heading to bed and getting some much needed sleep. Happy Blogging!
P.S. Anyone want to code a fantasy hockey league site for me? *laugh*

My room is still clean! IT'S A MIRACLE! Mike...
My room is still clean!
IT'S A MIRACLE!
Mikey and I are still talking, but no communication yet. I dunno about it all. I'm starting to feel myself drifting away from him as much as I try to hold myself close. A couple of other people has surfaced on the radar and it bothers me that I've noticed them, but yet, with everything that's going on with Mikey, I'm not sure what to do. The six degrees of seperation for me in Minneapolis keeps contracting. I'm one degree from my ex boss (ex- boyfriend of 3 years), and the same for a few other exs which puts me way too close to people I don't want to sleep with!
Why is it that when you are single, you can't find a good man? You find a man after searching for a while, and suddenly, POOF! a few guys appear, but you can resist them easily. If the relationship you are in falters, it never fails that one or two "good" men appear and that temptation gets much stronger and you start wandering in the mind...
I'm gonna be getting a kitty cat soon. Also known as a meow-meow to those in the know ;) I have everything I need, kitty litter box, dishes, food, and toys. All I'm missing is the kitty! A warm fuzzy lil bundle of love to keep my company and be a part of my life.
As for my life, it's going okay. I have leads with ProStaff and we'll see how that goes on Monday. I have another lead that if it were to come through, would be a very nice job to get. It appears the station totally fucked the tranny in my truck. Great, instead of $500 for the new flywheel, I get to add $1500 for a rebuilt tranny.
I'm slowly getting everything set up for the fantasy hockey league. I have all the mail aliases set up, save two as one is a new team and the other is changing names. The website is starting to come along slowly. A friend of mine is working on a logo for me and I'm starting to code up the templates for main site design. It should be a functional site and slowly upgrade over the next month or so. Sadly, we've lost all the team logos when the old FTHL site went down. The new league's site will be at http://www.ffihl.com.

Okay, my room is clean, I finally got my Linux box to play nicely with the damned RoadRunner cable modem, and Jay is doing the dishes.
Yes, Jay is doing the dishes
I dunno why/how this happened, but I'm certainly not going to complain.
I talked to Mikey earlier, but well, he's still drugged up and not feeling all that well from his tonsillectomy, so we put off our big talk yet again. I still can't get over the sense of passing I have in our relationship, but I think it's distance working its nastiness across the 325 miles between us.
*sigh* We'll work it out somehow. Hopefully, together.
