So Freaking Tired
I've got to say, I'm absolutely exhausted. Not for any good reason. Just to much work and to little me.
To point out how ridiculously tired I am, I was riding the train home tonight and about 25 minutes from my stop, I shut my eyes for just a bit. I woke up when some dude getting off the train was nice enough to point out that I had slept to the end of the line, therefore missing my stop. Not tragic since the "end of the line" is a whopping 5 minute ride from my house - but stil lame.
I'm trying not to make the excuse to my friends that I'm so tired, but unfortunately it's reality. I've tried to control my own destiny, but right now it has all totally gotten away from me. I currently am that lame guy who used to be a good, neigh GREAT individual contributor, but once he gets promoted to management tries to do to much himself and ends up overworked and generally despised. I hate that guy, and that guy is me.
My excuse is "things happened" - but I bet everyone who ends up this way has said that. I even got a bitchy email from someone not on my team who didn't like the way I "barked" at one of my guys. Made me feel bad, which made me pissed off, which got me no where.
Life sucks right now, but tomorrow I'm making all my people go to Dave & Buster's to play video games. Maybe I can get fired for that! At least I could sleep then ... :P

Ultraviolet sucks
Probably not really a surprise, but the movie "Ultraviolet" really does suck. I'm not talking it's a little annoying sucks. I'm talking laugh out loud, not motivation, no interest, can I please have my money back sucks. My friends Quinton & Rachel are right now off to see some other move - any movie - just so that the money paid for parking isn't wasted. Now that's a bad movie.
A Minor Update
So you would think that I would blog fun and interesting things that I had been up to, but alas I don't quiet seem too ever remember to do so. Here's one fun thing though. I just bought an OQO. This thing is so mobile maybe swill actually submit more things. We'll see...
