The year is half over already. Can you believe it?? I’m getting married in six months!

The weblogic stuff is still causing issues at work. We’re going to be delivering to ST a week late. Mostly because Ruben is the one who has to fix everything and he’s on vacation the rest of the week. He didn’t want to sit next to me at the meeting yesterday. He said I was gonna yell at him, lol.

The stuff the dermatologist gave me seems to be working. The antibiotic is supposed to take at least three weeks to start working, so I assume it’s the topical. I don’t think it’s a permanent cure, but hopefully my skin will stay clear until January.

Saw Rachie and Carolyn on Saturday. Had lots of fun just hangin’ out and chatting. I don’t get to see my friends enough. I miss summer vacation.

I haven’t blogged in a while. This is what happens when I blog early one week.

The weblogic stuff at work is still pretty crazy, so that’s been keeping me busy. We got a bunch of new interns and MATREX people. One of them sings. Everyone was very excited for me.

Went to my mom’s cousin’s last Saturday. I ate waaaay too much dessert and felt sick after. That’ll teach me … maybe.

Sunday I saw some of my friends. We went to Veggie Heaven for dinner. I ordered this thing with pine nuts and it was good and I want it again.

Mon-Friday, weblogic …

I should just repost my tweets. See what Twitter is doing to my blogs?? It makes us lazy bloggers.

Yesterday I went to the dermatologist. She gave me an oral antibiotic and a topical one. The oral antibiotic is supposed to come with some unpleasant side effects, but I feel fine so far. Maybe I’m a little lightheaded, but you’re not supposed to take it with food, so I can’t eat for another 15 minutes which probably has more to do with it than the pill itself. I didn’t eat much yesterday. Trying to make up for all the pigging out I’ve been doing lately. Now I want ice cream for breakfast.

The dermatologist was really nice. Didn’t keep me waiting and actually listened to me. That was a nice change. AlThe whole thing’ll costs a small fortune, but it’ll be worth it, I hope.

I’m really angry that you have to pay to get to the good videos on YogaToday.com. I was really enjoying that site. I tried some of the podcasts on youtube, but the good ones don’t have video and I had no frickin’ idea what this lady was trying to tell me to do with one of the poses. I might just buy a subscription. I think it’s a little stupid though you pay $10 a month, and then they still make you pay to download the classes to save. I realize that you could just join for a month, download all of them and be done with it, but couldn’t they make it like $1 a class instead of $3 then?

I once tried searching for Yoga torrents … won’t be doing that again.

The party on Saturday went well. We had about a thousand delicious desserts. Helen’s artichoke dip did well, but my salad didn’t get much attention. In addition to the four desserts she brought, Julia made me pillows. Yes, MADE me pillows. They’re adorable and awesome. We played Rock Band and Apples to Apples. Same old, same old, but always fun.

Sunday we helped Virginia move. We went out to dinner after at Chili’s. I ordered the grilled shrimp alfredo, which I learned very quickly, was a big mistake. I guess my stomach can’t handle 185% of its daily value of saturated fat in one meal X( I was very sick for about two hours. I was pissed I couldn’t exercise or eat any of the many leftover desserts we had. At least I didn’t digest that garbage. I had no idea it would be that bad. 5120mg of sodium, wtf?

As for work … all that crap I’ve been writing about in regards to the weblogic stuff … Well, he who shall remain nameless, couldn’t finish what he needed to in time and we were still getting nowhere with our servlets, so it’s been moved from August to October. This gives us more time, but EVERYTHING is going out in October now. If there’s a problem, mass panic.

Power went out yesterday when we were in a meeting discussing this stuff. Room went completely dark. I came upstairs and everyone was hanging out in the hallway. Power outages are fun.

My skin broke out again. I think it’s time I suck it up and go see a dermatologist. Tell ‘em just to give me anything that’ll keep my skin clear for the next seven months.

So we still haven’t gotten the stuff we need from the person we’ve been waiting to get it from, but we have gotten two of the servlets working. Two down, two to go. Unfortunately, they’re going to be more difficult, but hopefully I can copy from the person we’ve been waiting on :)

We also recieved our SE CO09 assignments this week. If there’s a strike in the SE, I’ll be going to Marathon Florida. And if they strike at the same time as the other peeps, I’ll be going to two places at once! at&t has some very advanced technology. No, really, I have no idea what their plan is. They’re not sharing.

In other news, I’m a year older today! Went out to lunch with 15 of my cloest coworkers. I think our original guest list was only 11 and a few people couldn’t come. The more the merrier I say! They got me chocolate cake too :P I have the best coworkers ever!

When we got back from lunch, we learned that our boss’ boss has left, or has been forced to leave, the company. She was in charge of our whole organization of well over 100 people. We have no idea why, but we know it doesn’t have anything to do with any health related issues. No note, no call, she’s just gone. Very, very weird.

Party at my place tomorrow! Bring food!

I gotta find some new online friends. A good chunk of my online social circle doesn’t blog much anymore. Not that I would have time to read their blogs… Still haven’t gotten to SP’s this week, sorries.

Work was crazy this week. All this weblogic upgrade crap was supposed to be done by Thursday, but someone only finished their work that our work relied upon about an hour before COB on Friday. Not that we would have our stuff done anyway because as we are learning, it’s freaking impossible when someone doesn’t tell you what exactly you have to change. We weren’t even close to finishing. And because that someone was busy doing the weblogic stuff, he also didn’t do another part of the project my stuff depended on. Hopefully everything will get done this week. Well, we don’t really have a choice, so it better get done. Work shall be crazy this week as well.

We went to Brian’s yesterday. Played us some Apples to Apples. Got looked at like a crazy person for saying I have acne. Yeah, my skin’s actually that clear right now, woo hoo! Brian made s’mores. He didn’t know they was my favorites.

Today I need to buy stuff. Yes, buying stuff good. Helping the economy. Yup.

I’m supposed to be making a website for Adi’s dad, but it’s not going so well. I did one design and I can’t get myself to work on it anymore. I don’t want to work when I’m not at work. Web design isn’t as fun as it used to be. Well, if I got to the coding part I think it would be more fun, I kind of want to play with some ajaxy goodness. I’m so over photoshop. It takes too much effort for me to make something that looks professional. I’m not a professional person. The design I made looks good, but it’s kind of a 50’s Sci-Fi theme. As professional as one can get from me I think, but a far cry from Julia’s stuff. She’s working with me on this, so hopefully she’ll come up with something better. Oh, he also wants flash stuff. I tried using this free program, but I just got really frustrated and gave up. Adobe Flash it is not. It’s not even Macromedia Flash. I’m not spending $700 on Flash. Not worth it in the least. I hate Flash sites anyway. I use NoScript and besides that, Flash sites are usually poorly designed with annoying navigation. Stop with the Flash already. It’s 2009, we use Ajax now.
