All Work and No Sleep Makes Nessa a Dull Girl

I heard some rumors that v-nessa.net is shutting down — not quite true folks…but I can tell you why my frequency of posting is amiss.   Those of you in the technology field know how it is…and in case you all haven’t been following me in Twitter and aren’t one of my designated stalkers, you probably don’t know what my schedule is like:

  • Between 8-1 Mon-Thurs I’m at school either learning about things I’m not going to use in my job field, or wallowing in a hangover that I have no idea how I got
  • Between 1-wee hours of the night Mon-Fri I’m at work listening to screaming two-year-olds otherwise known as “servers”, and racking the last two brain cells I have left on programming and troubleshooting the oddities that come along with the people that want to be difficult
  • On Sat. mornings I usually unwind in Croatan catching some waves, which, aside from rapid typing and mouse wiggling, is the only physical activity I get.  When night time falls I’m usually at the bar or having a party at my house wondering when I’m going to meet a guy that isn’t a complete asshole
  • On Sundays I devote ~2-3 hours of my time to answering the shit ton of emails I get from this website and dealing with various other projects I’m involved in
  • A couple times a month I’m asked to speak at tech, Linux, and PHP student conferences at various types of events, which would be a flattering opportunity if I was a naturally more tactful person and therefore not worried about dropping f-bombs in a room full of technology-persuing Christian undergrads

I am pretty drained though – on nights that I actually get to sleep I maybe get 4-5 hours worth, and I’ve been a bit on the cranky side lately.  I did perk up though during class while reading the Dreamhost blog

…what a bunch of silly jokes those guys are.

You’re worried about dropping f-bombs during a talk? You do realize Terry Chay is one of the most popular speakers in the PHP community, do you? Go figure :-D

I think the key phrase indicating that course language was not suitable was “Christian undergrads”. I would like to point out that although Terry Chay is noted for dropping f-bombs like rain, he actually has a lot of good information to put forth. The colourful language is just a bonus.

I know how that goes. You left out the phoning of competing companies’ night shift employees pretending to be a customer who wants to host a bestiality porn site, though :P
