No surprises

So as I'm learning about LJ, I keep running into folks I know from one place or another. I've started adding them to my friends list, which hopefully won't freak anyone out. I expect reactions from "Who the hell are you?" to "How long have you been reading this?" Hopefully they can answer the first one on their own. The answer to the second one is: only a day or two (with one exception, but they know who they are).

Looks like it will be another quiet day at work... Tuesday was the only day this week were anyone else was in the office - and they were in a meeting with customers all day. I visited one customer on Wednesday, but that visit only took 15 minutes so I've been sitting by myself most of the week.

I'm a consultant, so work comes and goes. Right now a few projects have ended, a few are starting to start to think about starting up, and the projects that are active need hardware that is currently getting repaired and won't be back for about 15 more business days. I've already decided that there is no point in coming to work the next two weeks, so I'm going to stay home and try and get stuff done.

"Try and get stuff done"... hmm ... that seems to be a common theme for me. Today, if I'm lucky I'll get some stuff done, if not I'll spend the day surfing the web, reading email and playing NetHack (where, if I'm lucky, I'll beat my pitiful high score of 62053).

Hi Mike! I guess the mystery of the mysterious mumak that showed up on my Friends list yesterday is solved! ;)

Whoo Nethack! I need to get me in some of that now that there's a shiny new bugfix version out.

BTW, it was great seeing you at Darkover! You had me extremely confused, initially; I knew I knew your face, but couldn't attach a name! (My life's been Interesting since last I saw you.) I'm glad you made it! Did you stay for the Hallelujah Chorus? If so, did you enjoy it? :)

Hi there

I see this as semi-public stuff anyway, but folks have generally been asking if it's ok to "friend" me. Mostly ones who know me only from my website. I don't think you'll freak anyone, though. And it's how I found you here, after all!

Hi! How's the Cats? And your lady? Arpad and Julia visited here three days ago.

I demand answers!

What are you, and how are you reading this?
