Work Schedual

So I was looking over My Schedual for this coming semester, as if I can I'd like to keep this job at NRL through the school year. Now, I already have a computer-job On Campus (well, I should still have that job), so that's cool, but I'm also more-or-less locked into a job with DSS. I say locked in because, since Aaron Graduated, I'm there only tech-guy. Now, this is the job that pays the least and, really, is the least fun to work (and realy the least computer-oriented, AND the most likely to have me answering phone, which I dislike muchly), but as I'm their only tech-guy (a) they might give me more useful-type work and (2) I can't just drop them and leave them like that -- it'd be cruel. At the very least, I'll need to work for them for a few weeks until they can find a new tech-guy, so we'll see...

Anyways, I was figuring I might be able to work at NRL Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from about 3:30 until, like, 6:00 or 8:00 or something. I don't think I can work past 8:00, and I have classes until 3:00. The biggest problem would be this means trying to get out of DC the same time as everyone else, which could be hell. It would mean a good 6-10 hours a week at good pay, though, so it'd be worth checking out.

I could then work at CPIT Monday 10:00-12:00, Tuesday 9:00-1:30, Wednesday 10:00-12:00, Thursday 9:00-12:00, and Friday 1:00-5:00. Thast's a good 14 or so hours a week, I think... At medium-range pay.

And then that would leave Monday and Wednesday 1:00-2:30, and Friday 10:00-12:00 open for DSS. Five hours at lowwer pay.

I'm thinking now that this would all be a maximum amount of work. We're taliking, what, 34 hours of work a week, plus classes, plus other college-type stuff? I hear some of the courses I'm taking are supposed t'be work intensive, too... I'm also thinking I may switch CPIT and DSS on Fridays, so that I have DSS in the afternoons. And I'm not going to lie -- since I care less about DSS, I wouldn't feel so bad if I decided to start my weekend on Friday afternoon instead of Friday evening. S'why I chose the classes I did, anyways.

So, right, we'll have to see how this all goes.

As A Note

I'm trying to get my Journal back to the ideal that it started with. That is to say, I fear I've been locking far too many of my posts. I have noticed a trend, though -- several months after the fact, I usually go back and unlock everything, anyways. It's easier, safer, after I've been removed from the situation. Arguably, anyone who cared to could start at the beginning of my journal and read a good year or so worth of posts without missing much of anything. Y'know, if anyone ever cared to.

The thing is, most of the posts I've been locking have been Tier-Two (I have a number of security groups I just recently set up, to make it easier to manage who can see sensitive posts), and most of my regular readers (well, those I ASSUME to be my regular readers) are Tier-Two level, anyways. This being the case, I have to recognize two things: Firstly, that there's only a handful of people I really care to lock out of posts, and odds are they wouldn't stumble onto this page if I pointed them to it. That and, it doesn't matter. Really, it doesn't. I've at least always claimed that I don't care what people think of me, so long as it IS ME -- that is, if they know who I am and what I stand for, let them not like me. I don't try to base the person I am on what others think of me. And being that the purpose of this journal is first and foremost meant to lay bare that very person (followed very closely by keeping me tied to my friends, and therefore grounded), well, there you go. Or something. Wow that got convoluted... But that's not the point.

In the end, though, it is so very frightening to leave oneself so open and vulnerable.
In the end, we all wear masks. If you'll allow me to be, momentarily, melodramatic, it's interesting to note whether these masks are to protect us from the world, or rather to protect us from ourselves.

OK, enough of that.

I just realized...

I've been saving my code and notes here at work on a floppy, so that I can take it home with me and look at it there. I've never had the opportunity, of course, but it's good to have the ability.

It just occurred to me that my computer doesn't have a floppy drive.
-laughs-
Yeah, I gotta fix that.
