It appears that I am the only person in the greater Tampa Bay Area who commutes to Wesley Chapel. This is good. Since there is zero traffic, I can make my ~17 mile commute to work in 20 minutes flat, even during rush hour, because there is no rush hour. And there's the same effect coming back, no one drives south at 17:30, just me. [02.24.09@15:48]

That is all. [02.13.09@18:23]
I just removed 1998 - 2003. I read through it recently and I just . . I don't know. I don't identify with turn-of-the-millennium Jeff anymore. He was a great kid and all, but he doesn't seem like me.
If I promise I'll write more in the future will you not be mad at me? [12.24.08@05:14]
About two weeks ago, I took the time to update my to-do list. I basically imported my forever-growing list entitled "Stuff I'll Do Whenever I Finally Get Some Free Time", since . . well . . I finally had free time. Classes were over forever, so it was time to start triaging all those overlooked things. Update the spamassassin training file! Contact everyone who you've ever e-mailed as jdgeorge@cse.usf.edu! Upgrade Wordpress! Upgrade Punbb! Process those reviews that have been sitting around for months! Just like, do a whole bunch of crap!
I had something like 20 items on that list, ranging from "stuff that's going to take like 20 minutes" to "AUGGHGG I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW LONG THIS SHIT IS GOING TO TAKE THAT'S WHY I'VE BEEN PUTTING IT OFF FOR THE PAST NINE MONTHS, I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT GAUGHGFBLFBGG,GFLGGGB". I am now down to four. FOUR.
Two weeks of free time has resulted in this. And in those two weeks, one day was blown waiting around in the wonderful surgical waiting room at St. Joseph's Hospital, three days were eaten up by (totally unnecessarily) freaking out about exams, and the weekend of the 13th was toast thanks to graduation. So I just plowed through 6-9 months of backlogged work in about eight days.
This stuff was supposed to keep me busy while I was looking for a job! Now what am I supposed to do!? At this rate, by Wednesday I will have finished items 2 & 3 above, and will be halfway through redeveloping News Ninja. Next Monday I'll be through with that. Before the year is up I'll effectively have nothing to do but stare at job boards and play videogames.
I think it may be possible that I've been overworking myself for so long that I can't remember how to slack off.
inpheaux puts "Remember How to Slack Off" on his todo list. High, but not too high. [12.22.08@07:41]
Today I woke up at 0815 unassisted. I willed myself back to sleep, but didn't entirely make it. So I was in that mostly-asleep head-full-of-magic-sleep-chemicals feeling-fucked-up pseudo-dream state for a good 45 minutes or so.
And how did I spend this time? I thought about how I should revise my resumé. Typeface, formatting, wording, reorganizing my skills section, all kinds of lunacy.
There is obviously something very very wrong with me. [10.20.08@17:19]
