I feel..stagnant. Why? I'm really not quite sure. Let's see if I can pin it down.
I was looking around my own website tonight. It feels old. I feel like I haven't really changed much on here lately, besides this blog. This led to me updating my "What's in the changer" area. To be honest, it was still correct until just a few days ago. The other problem is that by the time I get to a computer, I can't remember what's in the changer. It's a good thing it's only 3 CD changer and not an 8 or 10!
On the topic of stagnant websites...The Martin intranet is getting a little stagnant, although that's really not my fault. The problem is: they're moving people around in our Corp. Communications department..moving the guy that used to write scripts for Seinfeld and has been doing an AWESOME job writing news content for @Martin AWAY from doing ANY kind of writing for the site. In his place, someone with (IMHO) less writing skill..whom I have yet to receive ANYTHING in the last week and a half.
Another thing I noticed while glancing around the page here is that I haven't used my digital camera very much lately. I took a bunch of photos last weekend in Natural Bridge, but I never made a gallery out of them. Perhaps I got a little burnt out on photo galleries while making CustomTacos.
Imagine a brand new Dodge Viper. Red. Only 28 miles on it. Wrecked. Front-end collision, in fact. Broken corner lamps, bent bumper. Inside, the air bags deployed. The dash squeaks and the driver's side window is broken out. However, the owner still drives it to work every day. He simply doesn't feel like taking the time to fix his brand new (ruined) sports car. It still runs and gets him to work, but the engine knocks and sometimes it takes it a few minutes to start. Folks, that shiny new wrecked Viper is our server room right now. That's about the best way I can describe it.

And for goodness' sake, how did the play go? Those of us not in Glen Allen miss out on all of the news! :) That is, unless it's on JeffPollard.net
Posted by: B at December 13, 2001 11:14 AMOk ok ok. The play went pretty good. We were a hit...except that I messed up my opening line. I come out and am supposed to say "Hello, George. I'm Clarence Oddball, your gaurdian angel." Instead, I said: "Hello, Clarence. I'm George--Hello George. I'm Clarence Oddball, your...." DOH!!! Everyone laughed when I messed up. No big deal..it was fun. And now everybody thinks I'm an angel. I get lots of "Hi Clarence!" when I walk around the building now. I just respond with "..you mean George?" :)
