First post

Welcome to this little corner of Cyberspace (if anyone even comes close to stumbling into this site)!!!! Time to queue up Pink Floyd's "Is There Anybody Out There?" It seems like a cozy little home, so I guess I'll be hanging out here for a while.

So here I am, once again sitting in my bedroom at 2:40am. Just another night before going into work tomorrow. This is my late week at work which means I'll be working from 12:30pm until 11pm Monday through Thursday this week. I normally catch up on my sleep during the week because I tend to be more of a night owl than I defenitely should be.

So what made me decide to do this? Well, that actually started last night. I did a quick search on Google and found the 5th Muse blog. She defenitely seems like a character and I was laughing because she seems to have some of the some issues that I face in my life. Its probably true of all of us, but considering it was the first blog I have ever actually sat and read for any given time, I found it very interesting reading her thoughts on the day. So, I thought, why not? Who knows how long it will last, but I'm starting, so maybe it will last a while.

A little about me.... I'm a 31 year old guy that is single and currently living in Mississippi. I was born in Forest Mississippi, but that was many many moons ago and I still say that I was suppose to have been born in Castroville, Texas. See, my Dad was in the Air Force so we moved a few times while I was growing up. I started in Mississippi, then moved to Alabama, spent three years in Germany, then off to San Antonio, Texas, then Castroville, Texas, which is defenitely what I call home still. See, Castroville is where I went to high school, where I lived the longest (until my current stint in Mississippi) and what still feels like home when I go back to visit, which hasn't happened in a while, but I'm always ready for a quick trip back. So that is just a little bit of history, I'm sure more will be revealed later, but I think that is more than enough for now.

I was born under the sign of Cancer (July 20th) and I am defenitely a Cancer through and through. I can go through moods faster then anyone should be allowed to. Fortunately, there are a couple of people in my life that can seem to handle this, but defenitely not very many. I have defenitely been known to crawl into my shell and stay there days, or weeks, at a time.

Anyway, today. Today was a rather strange day at work. Work is at the University Medical Center and I work for the Emergency Department as a Network Administrator. I am mainly responsbile for maintaining a network between our Emergency Department and several other rural hospitals throughout the state of Mississippi. Again, more details to come along.

So today. I had to go in early today because the doctor I work for decided to schedule a meeting for me at 10am this morning. I had no idea what to expect out of this meeting because this was setup as a favor for the Dean of the University. So I meet with these people, alone again (how do I keep on ending up at these meetings alone is beyone me), and the group of people sitting across me start talking about how they can help us with our system. So after several minutes of me explaining what excatly we do, I finally brought up that we currently have 10 remote sites, but we have always wanted to support 30. So that got the wheels turning. The next thing I knew, we were talking about spending 5 million dollars being funded by the federal government. This group is going to meet with Senator Cochran and see what they can come up with. It truely is strange how I end up in these situations. They say 5 million dollars, and for a minute I sit there and think....I'm not old enough to be talking about 5 million dollars....LOL There are defenitely times I still think of myself as a kid, and for a fleeting second there, it occured this morning in this meeting. I'm sitting there thinking, why are these 3 people so intrested in what I have to say? When did all of this come about? And is this truely how these type of things work? The tech guy sitting across from 3 people that got into the office because they know the Dean of the hospital.

Ok, I have already sent 30 minutes sitting here typing. It is way past time for me to get some sleep, and now that this is my little corner of cyberspace, I have plenty of time to type all night tomorrow.

To anyone that happens to stumble across these postings, please be kind, don't litter, and remember, this is only the beginning (of course that could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your point of view).
