no new info

No real information yet. The neurologist recommends a CT scan of my head. Waiting to see what happens next.

hi

for those who sort of know what's going on, but aren't completely up to date...

I went in for a physical a week ago Tuesday and they're referring me to a neurologist.

If you want to know more, you know how to get in touch with me.

first result back

I just got results back on the first job. (the one I wanted)

:(

But that's the way of things. I've just got to keep looking...

update

I figured that this would be the simplest way to let those of you whom I haven't talked to recently know:

I'm getting laid off at the end of June.

As such I'm in a major job search mode right now.

If you know of any job positions I might be interested in, please let me know. At this point I'm willing to take just about any work that comes my way, so long as it pays my bills (essentially, it has to pay more than what I'm making now, which only barely falls into that category)

Overall, I'm excited to see what God will be doing next, so don't fret too much about me losing this job. I've already been here longer than I had originally anticipated.

prayer

Saturday night my grandfather passed away.

Sunday morning when my grandmother got up to call my grandfather's brother and his wife to let them know, she fell and broke her hip. Apparently it was a really bad break, but it will be at least 3 days before they can operate due to that she has a slight case of pneumonia, and due to that the levels of the blood thinner she's on are too high. It's also possible she had a heart attack from all of the stress yesterday. Apparently, she's not any worse today, which is a good sign. Pray that she continues to improve.

Also, apparently a week ago a friend of mine was hit by a truck. He was rear ended while riding his bike. He said he got a little scraped up, but is fine other than that he still is in pain from the accident.

update

I suppose I should give you all an update...

I've been reading a lot lately.

As of this afternoon, I just finished reading the Miles Vorkosigan series by Bujold.
I rather enjoyed the series.
That's pretty much been taking up my time the last week and a half or two. That, and I was sick over the weekend, so I'm recovering from that still.

I got my first exposure to Windows Vista this afternoon. My first impression was that it was rather spiffy, then I went and did my second check, which has to do with how the computer handles switching back and forth between mirrored/paralleled displays and dual monitor. This has been a problem that has given me grief with our XP machines at work, which I actually figured out how to solve a couple of weeks ago. Now I suppose that on some level, I had known how to fix it all along with XP, but it never really registered to me that the system would be that inane in its requirement to fix it. To put it simply, the OS and the graphics card don't speak to each other very well most of the time, so though you'd think you'd be able to fix it with the XP's interface for solving the problem, it doesn't actually work. You have to find the interface for the graphics card to actually fix it.
With Vista, I've found the problem even worse so far. (BTW, I'm using Enterprise edition if anyone cares) Not only is the OS interface identical to what XP has, and responds the same way, I have yet to be able to find the equivalent interface for the graphics card in Vista. Now, a couple of things that were initially in Vista's favor. It automatically notices when you connect the Laptop to a Projector or external monitor. When you first do this it asks you how you want to set up your displays. This was actually rather nice. The problem occurred when I told the system later to switch from mirrored to dual and then back to mirrored. If I find the solution I'll probably post it later.

I probably have several other things I could talk about, but I'll save them for later.

Amazing Love!
How can it be, that Thou, my God, shouldst die for me.
