tired, ouch.

Long night at work. Very little happened, but I still feel drained. I've felt drained all week.

I remembered to sign up for health insurance, which is very important since I won't have any after the divorce. I'm impressed by how low the monthly payment for health insurance is. Very nice, since my budget is going to be kind of strained for a while.

Eric is quitting, and I'm a little sad over that. Worried as well, because that means his position as Truelinux PE is opening up. I hope that whoever gets the position isn't a complete retard and/or asshole. Mike sent out the job posting and said he needed to know who was interested in it ASAP. At first I wasn't going to apply for it. After all, it's Linux. I am a FreeBSDGirl. :) But after a bit of thinking, I shot an email off to him saying I was interested in the position. I'm really tired of working in the NOC. I have nothing to do there, EVER. I am quickly losing my motivation, and as a result I spend 18 hours out of every day programming and studying aimlessly. I have no focus, so I'm not progressing nearly as quickly as I could be. I want a position that is going to challenge me and keep me busy. At least give me something to do other than fix the occassional broken Sun box and reboot servers. Sigh. So anyways, I sent the email off, and shortly afterwords I received a reply asking me if I would be opposed to working a day shift, since he knew I love my night shift. Of course I explained that I would take any shift if I could just get a position that would suit my abilities. Sigh. Not quite in those words, but you get the point. So at least he's considering me. Honestly, I expected him to laugh once he saw I wanted it. This is a big position, and I'm sure there are a lot of people more qualified than myself. Oh well. Had to try. Wish me luck! :)
