Grumpf

Posted by Mark | Filed under Life

*Grumpf* is my word for when I’m feel­ing just a slightly bit grouchy. Not enough to make me want to rip people’s heads off, but enough that I’m less than enthu­si­as­tic about Life, the Uni­verse and Every­thing. Of course, feel­ing *grumpf* today is mostly my own fault. I’ve been stay­ing up far too late: read­ing, play­ing on the com­puter and what not. But it’s also work’s fault; what with the recent changes and all.¹ Then for an extra kick in the chops, I fin­ished the book I was read­ing and went to grab the next one in the series for some­thing to read over my lunch hour.² Nat­u­rally, I can find books 3, 4 & 5 but not book 2. *grumpf*

Still, today’s not been all bad. While search­ing for book 2; I did run across some Dis­c­world books that I’d for­got­ten I had and those will give me some­thing to read for the next cou­ple of days. Maybe even enough to get me through to the week­end, when I might rip the house apart to find book 2. *shrug* I hate hav­ing to stop read­ing in the mid­dle of the series. Par­tic­u­larly, when I know I have the next book. But I’m try­ing to focus on the good things about today here; so that’s enough of that. Umm, tonight was the monthly Mind­bridge meet­ing. It appears now that I have offi­cially taken over their web­mas­ter duties. Spif. Now I just need to final­ize our plans regard­ing the host­ing and what I’ll be bas­ing their site on. As men­tioned in pre­vi­ous post­ings, their cur­rent site is a night­mare of M$ Front­Page gen­er­ated vomit and since I’m a lazy git; I want to imple­ment a CMS. Of course, I also need to know what all they want out of the site and if they want to merge their Yahoo! group into the real site or to keep that seper­ate. It’ll be a lot of work, but I’m oddly look­ing for­ward to it, even –and this is the kicker– in my *grumpf* mood. Any­way, that’s enough for tonight; so good night inker­net  vast repos­i­tory of porn  all you peo­ple out there in TV land. Ah screw it, stop read­ing this dri­vel and go get your­self some sleep.

¹ I’m not really going to get into it fur­ther here; as I need to keep my job. So let is suf­fice to say some peo­ple have left the com­pany recently due to changes that are a result in the com­pany hav­ing been bought out. I respect their deci­sion and some­what wish I could take the moral high ground with them. How­ever, I’m in a 2 per­son house­hold with a 1 per­son income and plenty of bills; so that’s not really an option for me. *grumpf*
² Some­times I surf the inter­net. Other times I play video games. Occas­sion­ally I’ll watch some anime, but lately I’ve been really enjoy­ing kick­ing up my feet and read­ing in peace & quiet. *sigh*
