11:15 am	Life is just FUN... I feel like the TNT tag line, "we know drama". Yeah, I know drama. I live drama. The high school in Irvine wouldn't register David unless we had both a utility bill and a gas bill and a california state driver's license. And, because we aren't moving in until 9/13 we can't enroll david until 9/15. Fuckers. David is now going to Pacific Coast Highway, a cutting-edge high school that my little sister went to. He will likely finish by December. I'm struggling to decide if I should stay with my job or get a different one. I have three interviews the week of 9/15. Who knows. I'm just crazy right now.

10:43 am	Frustration Level is Very High My work is driving me insane. They have no QA process at all. I am a Project Manager, but somehow I was roped into testing the web application for this release. The problem? They fix & test things in development. No formal release to QA. You have no idea if you are testing a build or if some freakin' developer is fucking around on the environment. The result is none of my tests were valid. The results changed every five minutes. Something would get fixed, and they would break five other things. I finally told them to stop wasting my time, get my test environment on a release pathway, send me a fucking release with release notes, and then I would run a full regression pass. What a difference. Believe it or not I was able to do a full test pass with only one new bug. They are supposed to give me another release today so that I can do a full regression pass. That is for the web app. The backend/win32 cilent app has taken them 6 weeks of this fucked up type of testing to get to a stable build. I just don't get it. On top of that, I am trying to figure out if I should just say fuck it and find a different job. I'm seriously considering it because I don't think I want to travel anymore. At all. At least for my job. Current Mood: pissed off Current Music: The Pixies ~ Surfer Rosa (Comment on this)

9:53 pm	Living in the O.C. So, I've been telling myself for the past few months that I don't care where I end up as long as I can return to the wierdness that for me passes for normalcy. I had *NO* idea it would be Orange County, California. Oh well. I will at least be close to my family. I will miss my house, the weather and the Pacific Northwest in general.

9:17 am	Eeee Gads! Well, I find out Wednesday if I am going to be heading a project in San Antonio, Texas starting sometime in September. Brian is driving down on 9/1 to start his new job on 9/4. He flies back on 9/10 to pack up the truck and drive our stuff down. We can move into our new apartment (hopefully, application should be processed today) on 9/13. He will be back to work on 9/15. We finally got our inspection taken care of, so we are officially in "Sale Pending" status on our house. The close date may move up to 9/10 if the buyer agrees. They want to get in ASAP, but I won't let them move in until close. Right now that is 9/22. We may actually be done with everything by 9/15. That would be cool.

5:10 pm	SCREAM Oh.My.God. Brian got an offer at 3pm today. He picked out our apartment and gave them a check to hold it. I really am moving to california. Current Mood: rushed Current Music: This Mortal Coil (Comment on this)
11:08 am	ANXIOUS!!! I'm anxiously awaiting Brian's phone call. He is in his interview NOW (since 9:30am) and more than an hour is a very good thing. If it goes for 3 hours, then I know it is a VERY good thing. Well, as good as moving to Southern California can be. I setup the web hosting for telanovela.com if only register.com (stupid fuckers) would actually allow me to move the domain to bcentral. grrrrrrrrrr.... I setup email accounts for everyone, and posted the default coming soon page with the fabulous flash presentation. It's all coming together -- I am so excited!

3:06 pm	California 60% / Utah 40% So, Brian's phone interview for the company in Alisa Viejo went well, and they want him to come in for an inperson interview next week. He also got another letter from Hill Air Force Base notifying him that he is eligible for the position he applied for in July -- of course, he has recieved several of those notices in the past and has not even been interviewed. Therefore, the move indicator is set to 60% California, 40% Utah. Current Mood: anxious Current Music: Dead Can Dance ~ Serpents Egg (Comment on this)

2:25 pm	Where will I Live? Well, we signed the paperwork accepting the offer for our house. I am so sad. So very sad. I know that we needed to sell the house because we are moving, but it was our dream house. We picked out everything. We have to be out on September 25th and we still don't know where we are moving to. It is either Southern California or Utah. My mom is in Southern California, my dad is in Utah. I hate Utah. Oh yeah, I hate Southern California, too. We will be able to afford more house in Utah. My stepson wants to go to college in California. My job will let me work in either place. My husband has been looking for work for a year (hence the move). The job market in Seattle SUCKS monkey chunks. He has someone very interested in him for a QA Manager job in Salt Lake, and several leads in Southern California. Right now, I'd say that Utah and Southern California have an even split 50/50 right now. I guess I will do a daily move meter (like Slate did for going to war with Iraq.

9:22 am	Poke my Eye out with a Pen Sometimes I just want to stick a pen in my eye. Usually when I am on this weekly Friday morning conference call that I have to drag myself out of bed for so that I can listen to non-stop whining for two hours. Miserable human stinkbeasts!

4:54 pm	*I AM INSANE* WTF? Leave Saturday morning from Seattle to make a Monday morning meeting in Orange County (ok, no prob.) Tear up my Mom's bathroom down to the sub-flooring and remodel it Monday night & Tuesday. Meet a different client on Wednesday. Finish up the bathroom remodel Wednesday night & Thursday. Leave at 2am to make a team meeting on Friday at 10:00am in Redwood City. Have happy hour. Sober up in hotel room. Leave by 5am to get home by Saturday night. hmmmm Red Bull gives you wings.

12:03 pm	Unexpected Money There is nothing better than finding out you have a completely unexpected check waiting in your mailbox at home -- a check for 1/2 months salary from a company that went bankrupt last year. Except maybe finding out that there is another check coming in the next six weeks after the final creditor settlements are made!!! WooHoo! Current Mood: ecstatic (Comment on this)
