It’s already day 5 of 2010. This weekend sort of blew past me and Monday continued to be intense with my continued conditioning, tae bo, and my weekly geeky ritual. So what’s now Tuesday has been spent vibrating at the speed of life … fueled by caffeine. About two weeks ago I stopped drinking soda and started to drink a lot more water supplemented with orange juice. If I could stomach it, I’d drink more milk … it’s not that I’m intolerant of milk in the physiological sense … more that I’m intolerant of the taste and texture of the fluid. I know … let it out …

… are you done laughing?

Okay, so yeah … I stopped drinking soda for the most part which also means I’ve cut out caffeine in my daily regimen. So, I woke up tired today which prompted a desire to drink coffee. I make my coffee fairly week – 1/8 cup to 4 cups … but damn. I’m only now recovering from the buzz I got from drinking just four cups of coffee … I sorta felt strung out which prompted a rather anti-social reaction to today’s activities. So, instead of calling and talking to people like I had wanted, I decided to learn how to create logon scripts to map networked drives (admittedly, in an insecure manner). I know, not entirely significant since all systems administrators should know this already, but it was a little win for me since I designed the script to be slightly intelligent in mapping resources to the necessary drives and making sure those drives weren’t already mapped to something else. The more significant revelation is that in my attempt to distract myself from the fact that I felt completely disconnected from the world around me due to my caffeine buzz, I become extraordinarily focused and experimental with tools that I’m not completely confident in using quite yet. I suppose I’m just happy to have been able to learn something through trial and error and actually produce something useful.
