friday again?

sweet jesus of nazareth, the weeks are just flying by. is it friday already?!.....man, this is a new phenomenen for me. if it carries on at this pace its going to be summer and then before i know it, i will be back in southern california sitting on the beach, catching some rays and listening to my music. god, i hope so. 

had my first project meeting today and it was good to meet some other people that i don't work with usually. when i was at the bank i just built servers for trading applications or database servers, i now have to build a server to stream video to playstation 3 consoles for internal testing. thats much more my kind of thing. 

weather is nice and sunny though a little cold. am meeting one of the guys i used to work with at the bank tonight. it will make me feel better hearing all the shenanigans going on at that place. its so nice to have escaped especially in this dire economic climate that we are in. everyday there is more bad news and just when you think its hit bottom, things get worse. the dangerous combinaton of electing a dumbass as a president who was in the pocket of powerful bankers, oil executives and defense companies, who it turns out were all either inept or corrupt. well done george. 

oh and if you are wondering how on earth we got into this economic mess, i can say that after having worked in 3 major investment banks, just because they wear suits and expensive watches, and earn tonnes of money and have been to the best universities, doesn't mean the people who work in banks are smart. some of the stupidest people i know work in investment banks. 

anyways, despite all that, i have had a couple of calls from agents asking if i am looking around and interested in a move. turned them down saying i was not going to be moving for a little while, but will keep their details because you never know what might happen in the future. 

quiet weekend planned. its ok, because the money i save i will spend in cali....hopefully. 

have a lovely weekend V, 

today i have mostly been listening to nine inch nails - the big comedown. its stunning
