John’s Blog

Well it has been a while since I have posted anything on here. Seems like everytime I say I am going to get better about posting more often something comes up and I never do. This time it has been both work and the impending holiday. I manage a business that also has a retail shop, so with it being Christmas time that has been extra busy. Add to that the fact that the end of the year is approaching, which means that many business are looking for end of year write offs. We have been building out and installing servers, desktops, and laptops for business clients all month. Which has had me running like a mad man since 99% of the field service calls are done by me. All that has left me with little free time at home, and what free time I do have has been spent preparing for the holidays. I am at the office today finishing up a few things here before taking 3 days off for Christmas. We have our Chrismas party tonight for work and then I will be doing some work from home on Monday before heading to Maine to spend Christmas with the wife’s family. I hope to do some updatting of the blog and such during the break.  But if I don’t post again before the big day…Merry Christmas!!

So there I was today at a client’s site installing Windows 2003 servers and trying to get his Windows 98 clients to work right with them, and I heard it on the radio. That some nut case had taped something that looked like a bomb to his chest and taken hostages at Hillary Clinton’s campaign office in Rochester, NH. Now if it had been anywhere else I probably would have just taken note and not paid to much more attention. But being that my wife and I just moved out of Rochester under a month ago, it hit home. We only lived a few miles from where all this is happening, and boy am I glad we moved. I can’t imagine the crap that we would have gone through with closed roads, huge police presence and such. And after the day I had I’m not much in the mood for that.

What really strikes me is that from what I have seen on the news the ass clown that pulled this little stunt is a local and know to police as being mentally unstable. To make it even better they are saying the reason he did this is that he is upset over mental healthcare in the U.S. Well gee, guess that is one way to draw attention to the issue, and land your monkey ass in jail for a good long time.

I guess things are just getting crazy all over. It makes me harken back to my long dream of moving out to the middle of nowehere and not having to deal with these retarted fucking morons anymore. And no I don’t just mean this guy, I mean alot of people. Our society as a whole has gone down hill.

Well enough of a rant for now. Time to grab some dinner and relax for a bit. Tomorrow is Saturday and I have to be at work bright and early in the morning. Which reminds me, it’s time to start ye ole job search again.
