Friday Rant

Either do not attempt it at all or go through with it.

Ovid

I don't have anything of importance to say. And what I was going to say disappeared into the ether, so we'll try a different version.

I'm looking for a new job because this one is going kaput. Not enough money and not enough effort. My fault, her fault, everybody's fault. I hope I can get another job on the WU campus so I can keep my benefits. I think I'd take a pay cut wherever I go. I did make a rather professional website for the lab, if I do say so myself: The Nolta Lab. Maybe they'll keep paying me after I'm gone. Ha. I also made them a short-ish HTML primer. You can check it out too. Finally got around to making one.

I think it's terribly ironic that they noticed I like computers so much. I mean, I feel like I tried to get away from doing things so creative and tried to do something scientific. It's not working. There are more and more days when I feel like I should have just been an english major or an art student. But then I read articles like the ones in "Tissue Engineering" and I start thinking about my dreams again. I don't know why I can't keep my mind on my work. Or get a clue. I'm supposed to find a job that's creative and analytical, an oxymoron if you ask me. Too bad I can't get anyone to pay me for making websites. Why can't I find a Lord of the Rings fan with loads of money who just wants someone to make websites for them? I suppose the best thing would be making graphics for a scientific company. I wonder where those jobs are?

I still want to do something in the biomedical engineering field. Specifically tissue engineering. I just don't know if that's going to happen. Kind of like I wonder if my novel will ever get published. I was reading an article at Sara Douglass' site (she's the author of the Wayfarer Redemption books) about how to get published...I have to think up a synopsis for Moonstone. But I'm too lazy to do it. Any volunteers?

I really need DSL at home, and a comp update. I keep not doing things cause it would require firing up this comp (on the laptop right now) and transferring everything with Zips and then uploading on the slow slow slow modem connection. Or waiting till I get to work where I'd still have to use the Zips cause of the wireless network fiasco. Ah well. Life was not meant to be easy, I suppose. And for those of you owed letters, I promise I will get them out to you soon. I've got the paper ready...I've just got to figure out something to write. I guess I should shush here so I have something else to write about!

Enjoy your weekends, melloneamin. I think I'll sleep.
