It is official, Merc is getting married. More information to follow.

Happy Easter to everyone. And a specially happy one to my Mother and Aunt... who's calls I am never home for.
March 29, 2002
This seems like a good idea.
Massive headache.
March 28, 2002
Where does the time go? There are not enough hours in the day... and the hours that I do have, I cannot seem to use well enough. I am just working as hard as I can... and hoping to get enough done.
March 26, 2002
Back from my trip. It was good... and much needed.
I am also back to working overtime. I am not really sure how that happened... but here I am... working into the night.
March 23, 2002
On the road again.
March 22, 2002
The stress of work is starting to become a bit more than I can bare. It is very difficult to find a bit of organization or sanity. Things are getting worse quickly... not slowly.
I am so very glad that I am going on vacation tomorrow. It is exactly what I need to regain my sanity and tolerance.
I am going to take my long list of things to do and my laptop... and hopefully get a few things done... while relaxing.
That is the plan.

I thought about 'my boring life' just about all night. Yesterday's post was incorrect.
My life continues to be insanely busy... and doing what? Sometimes I think that there is nothing that I am not doing. I have my hand in just about everything.
The mass of my time is being sucked away at work. I have still been working a lot of overtime (and will be working more this morning). I spend just about eleven hours of my day getting-ready/driving/being-at work. And on day that I work overtime, I am there twelve hours plus.
Minus these hours from the twenty-four in a day... well, it does not leave me much time to get to my list of thing that I feel I need to do. I am an artist, a programer, an editor, a photographer, and the list goes on. Finding time for all these... that is rough.
My life is not and has not been boring. It just seems to be moving slow... and it really is not. My to-do list makes me feel like I should be moving at two-hundred miles per hour... so I feel like I am at a stand-still when I am keeping my ground at one-hundred miles per hour.
The struggle is not easy... but it is easier than finding the motivation to get out of bed some days. I am out of bed now... so it at cake from here on out... hopefully.
March 20, 2002
Long, long day... got a lot done. I will be working overtime in the morning... so it is off to bed for me.
Sorry for all the boring posts. Life really has been pretty boring.
Good morning, America... and England... and Canada... and a few people in Mexico too.
Did not sleep all that great last night, but I feel pretty good this morning. I have quite a few ideas brewing in my skull... so the issue now is to get them on paper (so I don't forget them), and then to find the time to do 'em.

My mother should be landing in good old Arizona right about now.
Had a fun, but exhausting weekend. This week seems to be flying by, so maybe I can rest next weekend.
March 17, 2002
Had a fun time yesterday. Disneyland today. Woo!
March 16, 2002
My mother is flying into town today. Need to clean the house... do laundry... pay bills... and a million other things.
March 15, 2002
Long day at work. Very tired. Must veg.
Feeling a little more awake... and a little better.
Woke up with a very unthrilled view of life this morning. Going to take a shower... see if the grumpiness melts away.
March 14, 2002
Got my pay check today... the government ate all my overtime... work like a dog... and hardly get any of it. Working more overtime in the morning. I am not so eager to work overtime now... sad.
Morning again. Time for work. Yawn.
March 13, 2002
Lied about the overtime. Again tomorrow.
Overtime is over... now trying to get back on top of things.
March 12, 2002
Still working overtime.
March 11, 2002
Up at the crack of dawn... fifteen minutes until I have to leave for work... feeling a little better than moderate... something is not right.
I need some time. I don't feel like I got a weekend. I was so deperate to design that last night I was sketching while I was watching a movie... I ended up sketching more then watching.
I have noticed that creating is my addiction. After coming home from watching the movie, I still had to pull out my camera... and take at least one photograph. The things I do are nearly insane... I cannot leave my bedroom without a pen... I bring my camera places that I will never use it... when I get a logo idea, I have to draw it instantly, even if it means drawing it on my arm... I walk around completely distracted thinking about lines, composition, and fonts.
I guess there is worse things in life... and maybe my addiction will pay-off one day.
March 10, 2002
Long weekend... I enjoyed it over-all. I miss working insane hours on insane projects. There is a cool feeling of accomplishment that follows.
March 09, 2002
Got my letter from CSU Fullerton today... just need to send over my transcripts. Looks like I may be in school starting this summer.
The long work week is not over. I am not going in tomorrow, but I am going in early on Monday... and I am sure that will be a long day. I think the work will slow down Wednesday or Thursday. I hope.
My health is doing pretty good, but I don't want to push my luck. Note to self: Health before paycheck.
Worked 12 hours straight yesterday... and I am going back in this morning. My cold is starting to let up. Today should be tolerable... I just have to output 148 files... and I should be able to go home.
March 07, 2002
Good morning... back to work.
It appears that I am trying to catch a head-cold this week. I am trying to avoid it, but it may have got me already.
March 06, 2002
Looks like I have one more long day at work tomorrow. I kinda miss working insane hours. Feels good... deep down.
Got out of bed two minutes before the alarm went off. I think I have finally been brain-washed.
March 05, 2002
Today was not too bad at work. Got a lot done. I get to work more overtime tomorrow... it will be a good week for my wallet.
Time to get some food.
Going into work early today. It is going to be a forever long day.
March 04, 2002
New Baseball Jersey... very swanky.
I have finally applied to CSU Fullerton. It is only the whole reason that I moved to Orange County... well mostly. I am trying to get into Summer School. I am dying to get back into school. I just miss learning. I need to be back in school.
I have been reading and playing with Linux a lot, special thanks to my Linux web server. Sadly, it is still in an unhappy state... I think I just need to find a professional (for free... heh).
Bought Jimmy Eat World this weekend... very good CD. I highly suggest a random CD purchase.
March 03, 2002
The weekends pass so very quickly. Note to self: Enjoy and relax.
The WercShop lives. I am working on DNS issues... it will have a domain name some day.
March 02, 2002
Yawn. Saturday is quickly disappearing... time to go grab hold of it.
March 01, 2002
Just about over with being sick... and back to being busy.
Last night was cool... three designers and an artist. It was fun taking about projects and fixing computers. I know it is odd, but that is what I enjoy.
I received switch number three last night... which means that I got get webserver number two running soon. I am still trying to build webserver three and four.
And I am so happy that it is Friday.
