Why I'll be quiet all morning...

This training class sucks. Much like most of my college classes, I'm never going to use this stuff.

And now, back to it. See you in the afternoon, hopefully.

Me today

Finished Sirens of Titan and liked it a lot. I think i can safely say the Vonnegut is one of my favorite authors. Next up is, um, something. Don't know yet. We'll see what strikes my fancy when I get home. This brings me up to ten books, four dramas. And I still need to make a recap of everything i've read since I started this "kick" a little over a year ago.

Long day so far. Tomorrow morning I meet a customer and discuss all the great things we can do for him. It'll be good to get out of the office. But it'll suck, too, because these things have a tendancy to suck. But I should get a haircut tonight, that's my point.

Angsty. Could use some sugar. Not the food substance kind, the lovey kind.
