Before tsn, there was The Blue Journal

A number of things happened today. First I helped my brother with his program on his computer that he had been working on.

Then I went walking around town. I saw a part of it I hadn’t found before. Behind the Donut Shop there are several nice houses and a couple of them are for sale. So I passed out my lawn mowing fliers. I wanted to see D’Amber, but didn’t get to. Not until I got to work, did she show up. I think she’s pretty cute 🙂 We’ve been pretty good friends since she got to high school. But I took a nap after lunch, and didn’t go to that part of town. I’ll probably go there next time. (more…)

Today was a little stressful. Some things weren’t done properly yesterday at DQ concerning the office work, and I think it is so to spite me. It doesn’t matter though. I had a lot to do today, and it took ample time to get it done.

The weather has been nice lately, and tomorrow I get to walk around the town and put up more fliers. I’m a little more excited this time, since it is my business, and I am investing money into it. Therefore, I have to make it prosperous to gain a return on my investments.

My lawn mower still isn’t fixed, but I don’t think it should be long now. I want to do other things to make money though. Rhinoceros Success has caused me to want (more…)

Wednesday…my eyes didn’t want to open at all this morning. But they did, and I got ready to hit the streets and take care of business. I had planned to be out all day. However, I finished all my things to do in less than an hour (plus it was really cold). So I came home and did some things.

I finally wrote Lindsey, and will mail it tomorrow. All I have left is to write Jay, Sarah, Jamie, and Laura. I also want ot write Lil’ Ben, and of course Benji when he talks to Beth.

I have thought of calling someone at school and having them get online for me to get the info I need. I just haven’t done it yet.

I watched Oprah today and she did a show on genius kids. (more…)

Hmm…today the neighborhood dogs decided to dump over the neighborhood trash cans, so I had to watch to make sure they didn’t knock over ours.

Then I went to work. Lately I’ve been unable to concentrate. I think I think better when there is a bunch to do at work. We’ve been slow the last couple days, and I’ve had problems remembering everything to get done. It’ll be ok though.

I worked with Andrea, the new girl, today. She’s doing really well. She’s a small girl, fits the description of a “nerd” but isn’t. She looks too young (and really is) to be engaged. Oh well, that’s her deal.

We started our new salad promo tonight. (more…)

Today started out great, then turned ok, then it just sucked. But I am in high spirits.

I read the second motivation book. It wasn’t as good as the first. But it did give me ideas and insight on job performance.

I woke up to the sound of rain on the roof. That was when my day started going down hill. The rain didn’t stop until after lunch. So that put a big dent in all my plans. I’ll have to postpone them until Wednesday.

I am almost done rewriting Autumn IQX source code, and then I can make modifications to create IQX2. I also came up with a new background for it. It looks better on paper than on a grid, but its neat none-the-less.

I didn’t do too much else today. Work was slow. I did find out how to fix my lawn mower for about $3-4. So I’m gonna try that on Wednesday. If it doesn’t work, then I can buy one from a friend for $75. Four $20 jobs would pay it off easily.

I came home to a lecture though, and threats of being kicked out sooner. (more…)

Well, now I start a new journal section. It happens about every month (on average). So I can only talk about personal things and things that deal with me alone. It’ll be tough, but I’ll do my best.

I was extremely bored today. I started writing Autumn IQX2, but first will have to copy Autumn IQX onto paper in a readable format. That will take 8 papers – 16 pages, which is about 530 lines of calculator code. It’s one of the longest programs I have written. And that is just the shell of Autumn IQX. It doesn’t include (more…)
