It's 46 degrees right now, and I just saw my first fly of the season perched outside on the screen of my bedroom window. Bring the warmth!

Time to find my shorts and sandals!

Judging by the reaction of those around me, I need to post more on here. Even my mom was bugging me the other day about not posting. Well, here's a post. If there was more going on, I would probably post more often.

I've been given a programming project at work, which is pretty cool. It's not one of those ones that I've just taken up and started. Nope, this is a project handed down from above. I can't really give a whole lot of detail, but since I'm the only one that will be working on it, I've been given pretty much full control over how it will work. Time is kind of short, so I've got to get cracking. But not today. Probably tomorrow.

Spring has (finally) arrived here in Michigan, and I am glad. Last week marked the first 5 days where I could leave the house without a jacket, and I couldn't be more happy. Greg and I pulled the weather stripping off the windows, and there was much rejoicing (I'm watching Monty Python right now, haha).

On a much less happy note, it would seem that my eye is regressing. I'm catching myself closing/covering my eye again while reading, and I can't read stuff I was able to read a month or so ago. So it would appear that I'll need to get back to the doctor sooner than I had planned. Grand.

Damnit, I just looked out the front window and SNOW FLAKES WERE FALLING. IT'S ALMOST FREAKING MAY! I hate Michigan weather. It was 75 degrees out the other day.

Oh yah... Joe gave me his cold too. Freakin' grand.

Hmmm... updates are coming in few and farther between these days... perhaps that's because there really isn't too much going on these days that merits talking about. The past few days at work have been much calmer than the past few weeks have been in general, which is kind of strange since billing ran on Sunday. Normally the first few days at the beginning of a billing cycle are pretty hectic with customers calling in about the various billing issues. I won't complain. It also seems like a lot of the customers we've been signing up have got the initial support issues like email setup out of the way and are going on with their business as usual, which we can definitely appreciate. I found out the other day that I'm not going to have to work midnights next week, which is sweet. The two week idea caught on with some of the other guys as well, and with the way the scheduling worked out, I don't have to work midnights until the end of april! How awesome is that?

Today was quite plesant in my world... work was slow, and we finally had temperatures above freezing!! Yup, today Jack and I renewed the warm-day habit we created last year around this time of throwing snowballs at stuff while the snow is melting and perfect for packing. I've got that "damnit you threw like 30 snowballs after not throwing anything for months" twinge in my shoulder, but I don't care. Even though it'll probably get cold again after a few days, I don't care - I saw grass for the first time in a long time today. Days like this remind me that spring and summer aren't too far off.
