Today looks like it's going to be a good day. First off it was cool this morning, in the 40s. And I'm doing better (MS wise) than I have in quite awhile. They're installing the air cooling thing today, hopefully that'll give me the temp control I need so that I can function better.
At work we're in the process of converting to a new company wide HR system, that effects payroll, employee ids, etc. This may effect my paycheck, because the new system handles taxes differently. It's not suppose to be more than $5 though. Which way, I don't know. The new system is suppose to go in effect the end of this month, I think the 23rd. This could effect our classification levels as well. October is supposed to be the month of raises, we'll see what happens. I guess I'm not expecting one, but one would be nice.
I have to look into putting my e-mail address on this blog thing somehow. It's winterblade@stny.rr.com. Should be interesting to see how much spam I get.
I'm still thinking about whether I want to get a new video card for my computer or not. I think I really need one, as I said before I don't think 32 megs of video ram is enough anymore. Plus it'd give me another extra video card, besides the old Riva TNT and the Matrox I already have. Why am I hesitant? Because I just don't have the time to play games that much any more, mainly because of Wendy. Yesterday she came home and I was playing RTCW and she didn't say anything, next thing I know she was gone. She had left. Later at dinner she said she was bored. Why didn't she say something? I guess I really got to put the old Dell together for her to use, I hate the guilt trip thing she pulled. All I need for the old Dell is a video card, a sound card (I think), hard drive, cd drive, and monitor, keyboard, mouse. It's a P2 400 and it'll handle the stuff she does and the games she plays. Oh and an ethernet card, and a place to put it. I held off on it cause I was hoping to get a laptop for a 2nd machine, that way it'd be small and wouldn't need a dedicated space. Maybe a decent cheaper one would do, though I want it to have 3d hardware acceleration, in case she needs to use the main, so that I can play my games on it, then we're talking high end major bucks. Maybe I'll start researching one. And maybe another, I wanted to get a laptop for my parents for Christmas, they have my old Pentium 200 mhz machine that is in an old Zeos case from my sophomore year at college.
Speaking of my parents, Wendy and I are to go out to dinner with them tonight for my birthday. I think we'll go to Applebees. I don't know why Applebees came to mind, considering it was an Applebees my father and I went to 5 years ago in San Diego for my birthday; which wasn't the best of times, due to my MS and having to say goodbye to my dream of living in California.
