My Desk

The system I am working on is really complicated. Geezzz.. all this C++ too. I'm not stressed just yet, but it is impressive that this system developed in 1.5yrs out of nothing with really just 2 people working on it.

I'm quite glad that I was a power unix user/admin in my early career. Those skills always seem to be useful in IT groups. Everything is strung together with shell scripts and a myriad of technologies that people experienced with Unix systems are used to tracing and figuring out. Thats how Gooacle Apps is. A bunch of random crap laid out everywhere that you have to spider thru to understand. So.. its the same shit really. But I think its something I am good at figuring out so I feel I'm in a good area technically.

The C++ side is another story.

Learning the Mortgage biz is cool.

This is the view from my desk. Notice the weird phone thing. The 2 screens to my right are 2/4 screens that my right-side neighbor uses. There is a TV on the wall to the right thats always on CNBC and world clocks on the wall so I always know what time it is in NYC. Kinda cool. I would take a broader pic, but I kinda wonder if its a violation of proprietary xyz to take a pic of the trading floor.

Man I had a crazy dream last night. I don't remenber much except seeing an old friend Bussel Gon from MHS. He and I were unfriendly for a bit in HS but all was fine. So I run into this guy in my dream while at a wedding and he is very friendly and invites me over. At his place is some "Ho" who I tr to get friendly with and she freaks out so Buss starts macking w/ her and then starts banging her. However, I am confused because in a few moments I realize.. the girl is a dude, she has a penis (also has boobs, etc) so there are 2 penises in play. I freak out and try to leave and the dude (Buss) tackles me and tries to keep me from leaving.

I'm freaked out so I run away and seem to have lost my $500 pair of Alden shoes. Dammit!!! Anyways that is freaky man. Really bizzaro.
