Slowing Down

Winter this year was rather, how should I put it? Very much like Winter should be for once. I'm so used to living in Florida, having maybe a week or two of cold weather, then everything seems to warm right back up. This year's been different however, and the season has gripped the country with force. As you may have read, I support businesses within an IT company. When it becomes too cold, companies send their employees home, which in turn puts me out of work to do throughout my day.

At work, things have calmed down quite a bit since the last time I wrote an entry. I've been more content with my job, and enjoy what I'm doing. I've noticed my skill with troubleshooting issues has gone up tremendously. Now when someone calls in and says they have a 0x007B error, I know it's an Unmountable Boot Error, or if they get a 2000-0142 error code in diagnostics, it's a failed HDD. I'm not planning on leaving my current company for quite a while, but I do admit it is no where near as challenging as the job had been for me months ago. I have colleagues I enjoy talking to every day, some of which I would be as bold as to call them friends. I enjoy the little parts of my day, like that first cup of coffee or when I have a minute to breathe between cases. I've even started studying for the MCITP exam, with which my salary could double. When it comes to school, I only have two math classes left until I finish my Associate in Arts Degree for Information Technology, which I will be completing this fall most likely.

I've found a nice guy recently named Stuart that I've been really slow with. We've been talking online, going on dates, and watching some anime together. We already made plans on Valentine's day to build his new computer, talk about romantic for a nerd like myself. I can't wait for Monday when we can spend that time together. We haven't officially given each other any title or anything, which is alright with me. All I know, is I wish to continue to spend time with him.
