Today I will go to the
ArsDigita open house in
Ann Arbor. I don't know much about the company, but it sounds like they're doing fun stuff that I can do too. Namely, running
database-backed web servers. Plus, they're the ones who wrote
Philip and Alex's Web Guide and lots of other
free,
web-based educational stuff. When I first got this job, I thought it was the shit, but after five years of installing
troubleshooting Novell Netware client and rebooting crashed
workstations, I'm ready for something new. Who knows, maybe they'll like me, but I'll probably just be overshadowed by the
really geeky people who are sure to show up. Then, after that, with hopefully a little
sleep before or after the
open house, I'll go to my night job at the hotel. It's the last day I'm working with the night
supervisor before he's off on his vacation. After that, it will be a total
bloodbath because most of the rest of us don't know what we're doing and are very slow at doing it. I have these visions of long lines of
angry customers in my face at 7am while I'm still struggling to get the
night audit finished.
Hopefully in between all this I'll have a moment during which to add a few more items to
Unfinished Stories. Maybe I'll break them down into more easily
digestible pieces, because unfinished or not, some of that stuff is LONG.
