Oi. I was up until 5 a.m. so this is what you get: me sleeping until after noon. But, I
have a feeling that after my meeting with Don Marshall tomorrow I won't be able to do that
anymore which, oddly enough, I'm happy about. It's time for a change, it's time for me to
have hours more like those of the living.
I only have a few hours now until my therapy session so I have to choose which things I most
need to do and unfortunately that's prolly not visiting Bryan or Brandon. I need to get to
the bank and stop at the courthouse and take care of the registration on my car I think?
Toilet needs to be looked at again. I have no idea what's fucking wrong with it. I should
have emailed Bean back by now too. I've got bills to get ready to go out, I need a new carton
of smokes, I need a haircut, etc, etc. I needn't get too stressed about all this since almost
all these things can easily be blown off.

I got a call not long after the above paragraph to go and check out this intranet that they are
trying to set up at my friend Dawna's place of employment. I think it might be over my head, at
least since it needed to be up and running like last week. Heh. Networking is by far my weakest
point of computer knowledge and since this is for doctors to access patient files via a secure
internet, it's pretty important that it be set up properly. At least I think that's what I
gleaned from Dawna's boss that they need. It's a frustrating situation on both sides: The client
needs something done but they don't know how to explain what it is they need exactly, and unless
the person doing the work is on-staff, the person brought in to the job has no prior knowledge of
how the office works, what and how they need the information, who needs access to what, and it's
not possible to be familiar with all the hundreds of types of specialized software out there that
a business might buy as a solution.
Actually, it's not even one type of software, there's 3 or 4 types that have to be integrated in
order for this to function how it needs to be. I'll see if I can bone up on the info they gave
me, but I made no promises and I don't charge people for things I can't help or fix. I know of
someone that I can refer them to if need be which will most likely be the case seeing as how I've
got to go to bed and get up early for a meeting with what should be my return to steady employment.
I've had another good day, I had a great session with my therapist since, really, things have been
going well and improving. I'm experiencing some peace and happiness. Now I just need to keep up
the momentum.
