I’m Losing My Touch
Did I mention I'm working in a IT support center for the Oregon Department of Justice? No, well you wouldn't think I worked for them after what I just spent a half an hour doing.
I decided to mess around with Leaena.com, maybe look at a different layout, change around how I post, maybe even tell ya'll something, but when I arrived at the site, I was greeted with a "error establishing a database connection" page. Gah, was my first thought, followed by a "that's new". So I basically googled like a chicken with their head cut off before I thought to look around in my config files, which actually didn't do much, but then I created a test blog, which worked. Sooo I looked up my databases and realized that the user I connect to the database for this weblog had mysteriously been removed from the database. Reestablish the user, reestablish the connection.
I am the dumb. I'll post pictures of knitting and spinning tomorrow when I'm less stressed.
On the Topic of Fans That Don’t Fit
Seriously it is far too hot in Eugene for my (or my cat's) sake. Also, the two bedroom apartment that I've shared with the roommate for two years has horrible windows that don't fit my window fan. Currently the fan is jammed so awkwardly into the open window that I'm afraid that it will leap out in the middle of the night and land on my head while I sleep.
Fortunately I'm heading up to Salem at the end of next week were I'll be living with my aunt and uncle (who have air-conditioning) and taking a very short term job/volunteer position (I don't know whether I'm getting paid or not yet, but probably not) hooking up computers and answering phones at an office helpdesk. Yay the computer job I never expected to have. I'm starting to wonder if it's going to make me want to go back into Computer Science, although I can use some of the same skills for my Information Science graduate program.
Besides the heat I'm currently a week away from being one class away from graduating and being able to flee Eugene for Seattle. I'm looking forward to Seattle. The goal is to get residency there so I can work on my graduate program at UW in a couple of years. Sadly the last class I have to take is in the fall, so I'm cutting it close as to actually being a 2008 college graduate.
And seriously, ugh, this heat mixed with the lack of much to do in Eugene right now as it's summer and I'm only taking one class is starting to make me stir-crazy.
