No, that’s great, especially at this time of year. I already miss my coworkers though.

I quit because I’m moving to Murfreesboro to go back to MTSU. Classes don’t actually start for another month, but I wanted some time off. Being unemployed scares me, but I have some savings to tide me over for a while.

Oh ok, not so bad if you had plans then. I just find lot of employers tend to pick this time of year to do layoffs, and I find that really heartless. They could at least do it in the summer or something.

So what are you going to do with all your free time for the next month?

Congrats I guess? Good luck with school. I've been considering going back to school, pretty much since I left, I never get past the considering bit though

'. So what are you planning on studying?

On an unrelated note, I hate steam, and by that I mean I tend to spend too much money on steam holiday sales on games I never really end up playing.

Now that I’m back from Canada, I have to pack and start hunting for an apartment.

Err, I quit voluntarily. I’m having an amazing winter break.

I knew about the aquarium and I've been there several times, but I don't recall any red squirrels. They must have added some things since the last time I've been there.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY.

I move back to Murfreesboro on 11 January, and my classes start at MTSU on 13 January. Things are going so awesome right now in every aspect of my life. I just know something bad will happen soon.

I got Internet today! That was one hard week.

Downstream: 11.39 Mb/s (12.0 Mb/s advertised)
Upstream: 1.08 Mb/s (1.5 Mb/s advertised)

Right at the end of the registration process, AT&T told me that my operating system was not supported and that I would have to exit. The Internet started working anyway, so whatever. The DNS servers suck, and the gateway doesn’t let you change them. Fortunately I’m running a WRT54GL between the gateway and the clients, so I can change the DNS servers there – in addition to blocking advertisements, setting up QOS, and having detailed usage reports. (I love Tomato!)

Wow I can't imagine a single day without internet.

I would have trouble sleeping not knowing that all my online stuff is up or not.

It's free pizza AND breadsticks every Friday. There are 85 weeks worth in the fridge for you. Look right behind the frozen squirrel meat.

Hmm squirrel meat, pretty sure that expired last year. Was a prank, it's actually human meat!

that happens when you use a bazooka to sweep out the cobwebs. I was hoping you would not notice that I borrowed yours before I returned it. You only use that particular tree to store nuts for the winter anyway.

Oh so THATS where I put them. Those must be the nuts from 5 years ago.

They should still be good.
