In Soviet Russia, Time Finds You

Good Morning:

It is a bit difficult to believe that acquiring a job has created time in my busy schedule to maintain my blog. Who would have thought that devoting thirty-two hours per week to a dead end job would rip down the gates barring my thoughts from the rest of the 'connected' world. It is amazing that I am currently being paid $0.109 in US dollars per minute to share with you the various elements of my conscious mind.

To keep from rambling on, I believe I will start the morning with explaining my absence from the blog scene. (Here's to hoping that someone cares.) Since I prefer to be concise with boring subjects, I wish to simply convey a list:

  • Final Exams
  • The Job Hunt
  • The Apartment Hunt
  • A Summer Class
  • Job Training
  • Job Working

Understand? Awesome. Since I know that I will receive a comment with this question, I'll go ahead and answer it; the job that I acquired is working the front desk at a hotel. At the time of this writing, I am working the Third Shift (11:00PM - 7:00AM). It's uh... fun.


Back to what I've been doing, though. Being the curious computer programmer that I am, my interests in that field have gone crazy during my free time at work. While I would love to learn all of them, I have pinned down a few that I find exceptionally interesting. These would be:

  • Java
  • Pascal
  • Ada
  • Gambas
  • Visual Basic
  • Prolog
  • Perl

I know that seems like a lot of similar things to learn and I will possibly become confused. However, if I do not rotate my interests, I become jaded and never follow them up. This is the reason why I read four to six novels at once.


I realize that this post may not be entirely coherent; this may be mostly or entirely due to the fact that it is three-thirty in the morning and my veins are pumping with Vault (read as Brawndo). My apologies for any mistakes.


Peace,

Tell-Tale
