Cabin Fever

I said goodbye to two great friends, found adventure on the big blue wet thing, conquered the builder, and was liberated from the oppression of pants.

Two of my roommates moved out this week.  Joel Anderson and Sean Southerland.  I've lived with Sean for the last 2 years, and Joel a little more than a year.  Over that time, I feel like I grew pretty close to them.  You'd think after moving around so much, I'd be used to saying goodbye to friends.  But I don't think it's ever gotten easier for me.  I'll miss them both a lot.  

I watched Muppet Treasure Island yesterday with some friends in the building.  I'd forgotten how funny that movie is.  I think I'm going to read Treasure Island one of these days.  See how close the movie got to the actual story.  

I've been having a bunch of problems with my work.  I was getting down for awhile, because it seemed like every time I would fix one thing, another one would break.  It was frustrating, and annoying, and I felt like I wasn't getting anything done.  On Friday, I got back on track.  I fixed the problem I was having, and was able to move forward again.  It felt great.  And today, I discovered how great it is working from home.  My setup here is better, my chair more comfortable, and the best thing, if I don't want to, I can do my work not even wearing pants.  It's fantastic.
