04/25/2003 Archived Entry: "Well damn..."

You know, I never paid any attention to the lyrics to Stairway to Heaven. I had no idea it was so...impossible to understand. A sample:

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Well damn....it makes me wonder too. Like what the hell he's talking about.

Off to LinuxFest Northwest tomorrow with JD, and hoping to run into Jon 'Maddog' Hall, who is speaking there. Truth be told, this is the first linux conference I've had a chance to go to and I am quite unsure what the outcome will be. Kind of tempted to dig out my old 486 laptop and at least make some notes to bring back here, but maybe I'll just use paper or Visor. If you seek me I'll probably be the guy laughing at JD when people are asking for autographs :)

Not to go into details, but there is such a huge sinking feeling I get when I make a screwup at work. Today I did so, and believe I have recovered from it. Still though, it makes me start off a train of thought like, "oh hell, I hope this doesn't blow up big; I like working here and with these folks". I'm reasonably sure I am good at my job, but doubt creeps in when there is a stupid mistake.

Erik gets the same freaky feeling when someone says, "Hey Erik, can I talk to you a second?" That's the words he has heard anytime he's ever been fired. Sooo...you're not alone. Posted by noni @ 05/22/2003 01:22 PM PST
