Clearly I shouldn't be allowed near a blogging site. I rarely ever update this in comparison to my previous entries. Apparently I'm easily distracted by shiny things, school and work.
I just got a message from a very close friend of mine from high school talking about how she's getting in touch with God and religion as a whole. I wholeheartedly respect her decision to do so and congratulate on her initiative to get back to something that requires a phenomenal amount of faith and belief. You know who you are, and I wish you the best of luck.
It's been a hectic few months. Work, school, house, errands, etc have all accumulated in a ferocious manner to steal any available time that I may have. Yet again, some basic updates, there's another new car in the house, and my random ability to get into accidents in said cars. Sadly, it's rarely ever my fault and somehow I'm the one with damage to my vehicle. Nonetheless, I'm happy with it, the more the merrier.
Normally, I'd be whinging about something right about now, but honestly I can't think of anything. Maybe it's the complacency of the daily routine, but things seem to be working out nicely. I've started working which has meant that my evenings and mornings are packed with meetings with a client along with constant workloads from my boss. It's a nice change from the usual boring evenings I have which involve the Internet and copious amounts of downloading of TV shows and music. For once, I can say I'm rather pleased with how things are working out. I have this odd nature of not being able to sit idly for a very long period. I need to be doing something, whether it be fiddling with my PC, chatting, wandering around or just reading; I need to be preoccupied with something. With such a heavy workload nowadays academically and professionally, I feel productive after a very long time. Ordinarily I'd be irritable without anything to do, but ever since I've been piled down with work and school, I've been fairly happy. Snappy at times, but for the most part, happy.
Unfortunately, the idiocy of university life doesn't seem to leave me. As a group project for a class, we've been forced to create ridiculously large groups. As a result, I'm being forced to work with people that I've had issues. These issues generally stem from the apparent self-righteousness that people reserve for themselves, yet find it amusing to degrade and humiliate others. When I bitchslap said people verbally, they get uppity and then start complaining about the "evil" Hasan. To the friends that know me well, I've always been honest with them. If I didn't like you, I rarely ever would have talked to you. If I do talk to you, it may have been a redeeming quality that I accidently believed you had and then you destroyed any self-integrity you had through your words or actions. Coming back to the point, since my business partner/friend and I get along very well and have generally done well academically, people are running over each other to get into our group. What I find amusing is that they think buttering up to my partner will change my opinion of them, sadly, it won't. You're now a bigger asshat than ever, don't patronize by telling my partner that you're in a difficult place, and we'll work. We both know the level of work almost anyone puts into a group this large. We'll be doing all the work and you'll just take credit for it. You're better off treating me to lunch and saying that's the most you're capable of doing. I'd appreciate that rather than half-assed copy-pastes from Wikipedia to pass as your work on a business plan for this project.
Sorry, I didn't mean to turn this post into a rant, but after around 3 dozen calls to both of us, frankly, I just want to shoot the next person to call.
Moving on; I'm working again as a business consultant with a firm again. It's absolutely wonderful to be doing this work again. Hectic workschedules, idiot clients, but it comes with perks, your own personal workload, business lunches, random meetings and undue respect in the offices you walk into. Being an entrepreneur is great considering that I will most likely setup a consulting company during my life somewhere, somehow. My boss is pretty relaxed and teaches as we move along the project. Basically we're redesigning SOPs for a government organization using the ISO 9000:2000 standards. I didn't like the CS world that much, but this is definitely more like the job I'd dreamed about. Clients, meetings, travel, etc. All good stuff.
I always promise to make more relevant posts, but clearly I can't seem to focus. The music is playing, the weather is great, and I'm off to sit outside and enjoy both.
Toodles.
P.S. To my earlier friend, I think I'm going to use you as an excuse to start blogging more regularly on so that you have an incentive to post more on Xanga and I'll post back in response.
