Tales from the server room...

Yes ladies and gentlemen or boys as it might be I am writing to you from inside the Server room @work. Which I thought about today and figured this is one of the last vestiges of a boys club/meeting room. I mean when I come in here I think how many woman across the world are really in the IT profession and Men just out number them... for now. Because lets face it when I go to my IST classes at school there are some girls, and some hot girls for that matter, and nothing is hotter then a IT girl who is attractive and knows what the hell she is talking about. lol

But I am not writing today to tell you about my server room fantasies. I am writing because I had a thought about my relationship with Tara. Am I wrong in thinking that your significant other is not going to like everything you do but at the very least should show like they will support any decisions you want to make no matter how whimsical they may be. For example, I am interested in the new Kia Soul which is not out yet but I like the look of it. It's one of those SUV/Station wagon mixed vehicle kinda like a Pontiac Aztec or a Ford Fusion or something. Anyways it's kinda geeky looking in a futuristic way and Tara just does not like it and I am fine with that. I am not going to buy it for her I am buying it because I like it. But all I ask is that she at least support my decision instead of making fun of it or finding some excuse as to why I could not buy it. I just don't feel that she embraces who I am and would rather I be some Don Wan that is a not a dirty eight year old boy.

Lets face it I am a eight year old with keys to the club house and I am loving it! I want to have fun and play with nerf guns and video games and funny cars that I can zoom around town in. I mean the adult side of me does understand to find out how much power it has and how many miles to the gallon it gets but I still like the idea that it can be fun. And fun is the key word here because she had a problem with anything that should be functional being fun along with it.

Anyways I have to go finsh catalogging backup tapes and switch out this weeks tapes for next weeks, I know exciting eh? :-)

The thing between us...

So there was something there but we have sense talked about it and aired it out. She still feels I am too immature and have too much debt. This coming from someone who saves for a rainy day that will never come and plans whole weekends around crafting. I, on the other hand, work 40 hours a week and go full time to school and hardly have time for myself or her sometimes. So i buy a few things that I want whether it is food or toys that I like and she gets uptight about it. I recently bought a Maverick Nerf gun just to have something to goof around with from time to time. but sense then I have found that you can mod them to make them shoot farther and in the case of the Maverick you can have it work more like a six shooter. So I am learning that I like to have things I can tweak and mod and make something more like my own and not just like something everyone else has. I would love to have a garage someday and get a old car and work on it and make it my own like Jim, Tara's Dad, did with a old '65 Chevy Suburban.

Alright so I have finals next week so I better get back to studying.
