*sigh* Rainy day...

[azurelunatic]

It's a nice, cool, grey, rainy day. I got royally soaked on the way to school, not from the rain falling from the sky, but from the streets being filled with water, and getting splashed, therefore, by cars.

I didn't get as soaked as I could have, because I had an umbrella, and the wit to hold it between me and the street, rather than between me and the sky.

Sandstrom's class was entertaining. We've been working on security policies, as a wrap-up for the class, and after we finished up today, he told us that any of us in want of some computer humor, who didn't mind some bad language, should do a search on BOFH. Snerked to him that I'd given my girlfriend some links just this weekend. I was wearing my black "White Hat" hat today.

Cool days often bring out a touch of the meloncholy if I don't have something actively cheerful going on. (If there's something going on that I'm happy about, I love cool days, because then I don't overheat.)

Right now, what I'd like is some snuggles. And not from a cat. Cat-snuggles are nice and warm and fuzzy (and tickly and noisy, too!) ... but they're just not the real thing.

I'd probably get more snuggles if I'd relax my standards about who's allowed to snuggle me, but that's something I just can't do. I am certain that people would volunteer to snuggle me, and I know that some of the offers I would accept, and some of the offers, I am sure I would not. In order to snuggle properly with someone, I have to be either comfortable with them touching me in possibly not-work-safe ways ... or else sure that they would not ... and in either case, would stop if asked.

And 'net hugs are sometimes a little chilly.

Ah well. 14 more days.

My arms aren't that long. heh.

Oh your post comment page looks like the lines are snuggling against themselves.

ironic in a sense I guess. heh

Heh.

I wound up curling up in bed with a good mystery.

Ah yes. I remember reading ALL the BOFH stories of the past. It was gone for a long while, then Simon started writing them again when he joined as a literary commentator on The Register (www.theregister.co.uk). Some stories are annoyingly long, but most of them funny. Just remember, Simon use to be Australian, then he moved to England. I don't know if he went back to Australia, but there are a lot of special words that we call different here.

But, you will enjoy it. BTW, knowing already that you go to DeVRY, what's your course of study? I use to be there for 3 tris in EET, and one more try in CIS before I decided that I will not learn anything there. (mainly because I was burned out on school... never took a summer vacation between HS and DeVRY)

And, I would offer a snuggle, but you don't know me... and viseversa...


BTW, the ORIGINAL BOFH files are here (http://bofh.ntk.net/Bastard.html)
All the new ones (2000 and newer) are on The Register at The Bastard Channel (http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/30/index.html) At the bottom of the list, it has the BOFH 2K, BOFH 2K1, and BOFH 2002 archives. Simon is a busy boy. Hehe

I discovered BOFH back in... erm... 1997? 1998? Quite some time ago. They were delightful, and still are. I was raised on James Herriot, so I'm at least slightly familiar with some of the wording.

I started out as BIS at DeVry in fall 2000, and switched over to CIS two tri after that. I'll be done in another two, maybe three tri.

BTW... rainy days...

I like rainy days. The crisp smell, the cooled air. And when it is raining, the sounds. It's just too bad it is starting to clear up at this point. The sky is already orange of the sun shimmering through the clouds. It is still a very nice day outside. I still have 8 computers to fix before I can enjoy the outside.

Oh well. At least when I get back home, I can go into the backyard with my dog and take in the beautiful atmosphere with the lake and the mountains behind it. It is such a joy living at Arrowhead Lakes. What can I say? I love it!

Bah.

I'm right in Metro Phoenix, right by DeVry, so the weather's a joy, but the scenery lacks something...
