After most of a week of getting shitty sleep I woke up this morning at 1am and couldn’t get back to sleep because my Brain had the spinnies … So I got up and wrote down all my active projects, maybe putting them on paper will help tomorrow night’s sleep. For the curious they are below the cut tag.  There are only 50 or so on the list.

This doesn’t include smaller troubleshooting issues, some tasks that I hope to give to my IT staffer and whatever shiny new thing will come up today … No wonder I feel like there are explosions going off in my head. Long and sort of it is – I am falling off the planet socially because I don’t have time and cycles to reach out – soon i will have more staff and hopefully things will improve.

I especially enjoy streaming seasons of televisions shows that I never got to see when they were on the first time.  But now I am finding that Netflix has a trick up its sleeve and I don’t see its purpose.  For some of the seasons they are taking single episodes and making them DVD only.  So I can see 90% of the episodes of a show, but if I want to see all of them I have to actually get them to send me the DVD.  I don’t see how this benefits Netflix, and I don’t see how it benefits the movie/tv companies.

But i can certainly see how it would annoy their customers.

I knew this stuff two years ago!

Eta: “look!” Here are the advanced settings I’m not going to go over those – they are self explanitory anyway – I’ll go back to showing you basic stuff. . .

This year has pretty much sucked (really I haven’t bitched about half the shit, just so I am not whining ALL the time) – and at this point I am giving it up for lost. But I am determined that next year will be better – with this in mind, I intend to perform as much voodoo as possible at new years to give me a boost into the upcoming year. (and yes I am serious, and yes I realize this is vaguely ridiculous) (and no this will not include passing on chain letters, I believe that only brings me bad Karma)

For example my family says you have to eat cabbage on new years day for good luck, I think Erin’s inlaws say its black-eyed peas.

So what does your family do to ensure luck in the upcoming year?
