In Approx. 6.5 hours this will suck

So I can't sleep. And like the title says that will suck a whole. lot. more. around 0830. In the meantime I will attempt to burn some energy posting. I really, really, really, want to play EV: Nova but if I do that I will be up til 0500 and die sometime around 1800. Upgrading a carrier takes time and more then a few explosions (my poor, poor ship). Yes I'm posting in military time live with it!

So Jenny's in Maui now. How nice is that? Not sure I'd really want to work there, think it'd be too warm/humid for me but def. wish I could visit. Ah well.

So I just realized I started the previous two paragraphs with the word so. Now I could actually have started this one without it but thought it'd be amusing.

Right...down to business.

Ever searched for yourself on the Internet? I actually mostly mean Google searched but as it is any web search will do. Or even within the dread realms of myspace or facebook (er actually they do a pretty good job of keeping track of you for yourself I guess). Isn't it amazing what the web knows about you? It's sometimes easy to forget that any employer/recruiter/whatever can simply plug your name into a search engine and get a lot about you whether you want them too or not. I sometimes wonder if they can find me. I don't think so owing to another guy with my name's rather more tragic ending. However, I'll never knock a resourceful HR rep who might dig around and find this blog. I guess I'd be curious to see what someone would think of me who simply read my blog and had never met me in any other form. My guess would be they'd think I was A) Manic/depressive or just depressed B) Geek (computer, anime, & rpgs) C) Don't have a C, oops. The problem with this is that it only shoot a glimse of me (as do all forms of blogs). More like extra features or director's commentary on a DVD then the actual movie. It might give some insight but it's not worth nearly as much without having seen the movie. In the meantime have to be careful I guess and watch what I say that might hurt my career chances shrink.

That whole last is oddly paranoid but more then a few tech people have lost jobs or not gotten jobs due to blogs. Noone better go and quit blogging on me cause of this! :P

Well now hopefully I've wound down enough I can pass out. Lots of reading to do so far this week but I have a bad feeling more homework is coming later today...

don't say anything stupid on your blog about your company or anyone else and i think you'll be fine.
