Yesterday was very long. So long I overslept quite a bit this morning. I worked all day and brought the client's servers down three times because of the issue I was trying to fix. There seems to be some weird bug in the application when we try to do things a certain way. Very annoying as I had to get someone else to restart the services every time this happened. It also means while I worked all day I didn't really accomplish much. That's the shitty part.

Still happy with my arm. I really like this tattoo. It's making me very happy. I was worried about its size, location, etc. But I have to remember - this isn't 25 years ago when I got my first one. I am not seen as some low life scuzz bag because I have a tattoo. Tell that to someone who is in their 20s and they look at you weird. Why would a tattoo make people treat you different they ask. Because boys and girls things were different back then. People didn't walk around with giant holes in their ears and ink all over them. Those people were considered bad people. Hell I remember when I got my first piercing. It was 85 or 86 and I was a rebel dammit. Guys didn't get piercings. Only queers wore earrings. Now? Shit, we will have a congressman with an earring in my life. You watch.

I drove the kid to work last night because I needed the car to do some stuff. I dropped her off around 6:30 and headed to my friends house. He had 5 movies that I wanted to get into the collection right away. They help to finish off my Disney movie collection. With the addition of these, I will have every theatrically released Disney animated movie. I still need the non-animated, the sequels, the one-offs, etc. But the main part of that collection will be done.

After that I met some co-cast at one of our theaters to pick up some props for a show tonight. We had left them behind because we forgot about this upcoming show. Got home around 8:30 and waited until almost 11 to pick up the kid. By the time we got home it was 11:20 and I was exhausted. Collapsed in bed. I did get a couple of FB messages from a friend. No, none of the ones in my life. Oh yeah speaking of that - the girl I had tried dating who lived like 90 minutes away? She posted on facebook she is in a relationship. Well good for her. It's not like it would have ever worked between us anyway. She was too far away, kind of a ditz, and had other issues she needed to work out first. I still think she is a nice person overall and I am happy to be her friend, but there was no longevity for us dating.

I do need to find a date soon though. A real date. With a normal, age appropriate person. I still miss going to that office in the city. At least it put me in a better place to meet people. Sitting home by myself doesn't really help me. I am also thinking I will start going to some of the social things on meetup again. That is once I am off the road for three weeks...
