Aug. 27th, 2007 06:23 pmIf you hadn't already heard... Flossie missed us, bringing some heavy rain (mostly to the Big Island) and kicking up our normal tradewinds a notch to the breezy to gusty side. For the most part, though, Oahu was pretty quiet, and skies were mostly sunny.
It would be nice to have the breezy trades back though... thanks to an upper level low hanging around our area the past couple of days, we've had almost no wind. Yesterday I actually had to resort to using the a/c in my room despite the fact that it pushes the monthly electricity bill through the roof. :P
Finally got pix of the Acura RL that I got a few weeks ago. I named this car "Razor". :)
On the job front, I looked at a possible position with EDS (aka NMCI) at Kaneohe Bay, but decided to turn it down. The job doesn't pay that much starting -- only $23/hour, plus some medical, but the job involves managing a network trouble ticket queue and going out and servicing customers' machines. It can be very high stress and frustrating because you're responsible for troubleshooting a hardware or software issue, and often you don't have the administrator privileges to do so. Considering that I was told that the job has a high turnover rate, I decided to pass on it for now and keep looking. I can always come back to it later if I get desperate since the odds would probably be in my favor that there would be something open (no guarantees of course).
I've also been doing a bit more sound mixing at church... been getting to play with one of these (a Yamaha M7CL digital mixing board). It's fun but definitely a bit daunting, but I think it'll get easier to mix with more practice. But I definitely know how Stu feels in the Pixar short "Lifted"...
In other news, I finally got to see "The Bourne Ultimatum", which is definitely an action movie. I would not recommend sitting in the front row of the theater to see it though... I was sitting back about 1/4 of the way up (the first row behind the railing) and still got a bit motion sick. I think one person described it as "The Bourne Roller Coaster".
That's it for now. More later!
