Good night out

2004-08-20T22:44:00.000-04:00

So, nothing seems to have been lost in the break-in last week and things are back to normal in the neighbourhood. I contacted a bunch of old friends and we went out for drinks. What a ruckus time. By the end of the night, we were dancing on the tables with some ladies we met at the bar. I didn't quite remember how I got home, but my buddies were here when I woke up and so were the ladies...
We're all pretty hung over right now, but we'll be bbqing later tonight. I think this is the start of something that I really need about now. I have been neglecting my social life since the project started and I think I can take real advantage of the down time I'm getting.

Mystery!

I was out last night with a couple of friends and returned home to find the front door unlocked. Nothing seems to be missing from the house, though certain items seem to have changed places. I'm not sure if I left the door unlocked or not. The fact that there is no sign of forced entry, though, leaves me to think I did, but I was sure I locked it...
And my mysterious friend staying across the street left overnight. I think I've been watching too many spy movies, but corporate espionage is more common than I thought.
I'm still going to keep my eyes open for any obvious traces that someone has been here, but so far nothing. I must be losing it.

Vacation

2004-08-11T23:08:00.000-04:00

I've been pretty relaxed here at home, on vacation for the last little while. Not much to report really.

Tired

2004-07-28T17:27:00.000-04:00

I am feeling really tired today. All the hours have started to catch up with me. I can't wait to be off on vacation and recharge my batteries. The project is advancing quite rapidly. We were able to restore the data that we lost during the little "crisis" quite rapidly. Now it's a matter of "wait and see". The EPA process can be lengthy and then the product will finally be ready to market. My next project doesn't begin for weeks, so I think I'll take my vacation some point soon.
I need to go see my friends, it's been a long time I haven't seen anybody.

Otherwise, the odd person across the street is still there and is giving me the creeps. I'm not sure, but I think he's got binoculars trained on my house. He's never outside, or else I would confront him. I'm trying to catch him when he's out, but I'm not home 24 hours a day, so it's tough.

Paranoid

2004-07-27T00:24:00.000-04:00

I'm not quite sure, but the it seems to me the people across the street are spying on me. There's been someone there for a couple of days now, and I feel like I'm being watched. I do some work from home, they may be corporate spies...or I'm just being paranoid. Anyhow, if they're spying on me here, they'll be really disappointed. I'm not doing anything of importance. I'm actually off the work now, there's been a problem at the lab and they need me to clean up, assess the damage, and see where we can go from there. It's not a big deal, the project is pretty far advanced and there couldn't have been much damage. Once I submit the final report, I'm taking holidays. Probably just hang out around here for a while. Maybe meet up with a couple of my friends and catch up. Haven't been out in a while, work has been pretty hectic and my time has been spent advancing the project.

Up early

2004-07-23T13:38:00.000-04:00

After a long night at work, I woke up really early today. Don't really know why, but it was actually a nice day so I decided to take a walk. I ran into a couple of dogs. I don't much like dogs, however these ones were quite well behaved and showed little or no interest in my presence. Unfortunately, my walk did not last long as it began to rain heavily about a half an hour through. It's amazing how weather can change so quickly. Anyhow, I ran back home to escape the rain when I realized I dropped my keys somewhere along the way. So I ran back and retraced my steps to find my keys. Luckily, they weren't too far away. By then, the rain had intensified and I was soaked, so I casually walked back to my house. No need to run. As I returned, I noticed something unusual, there was a truck parked outside my neighbor in front's house. Unusual, since he receives very few visitors. Regardless, people may say the same about me, but I wasn't the one with a car parked in front...
I wonder who it is. I guess I'll find out in time. I'll keep an eye out for movement today.
In other news, the research I've been working on has progressed quite well. There may be a presentation to make to the EPA to quell any environmental concerns and then hopefully the patent will be approved and we can begin the next phase of production.

Time will tell...

Long day

2004-07-22T00:00:00.000-04:00

For those who know me, the days are always long in my world. I work mostly at night, mostly with very few other people around. I eat very little, I sleep very little, and I know very few people. In fact, the people I know would probably never find this blog. It doesn't really matter to me, though, it's more of a cleansing experience if nothing else. I am involved in research and development, the likes of which most people will never understand. the research involves helping millions of people if possible, at the possible detriment of hundreds of thousands of others. My life wasn't always like this, though. I lived a normal life once. I laughed, I cried, I loved, I felt...these things aren't nearly as prevalent in my life as they used to be. I have always been proud of my accomplishments and have had very few regrets but life is not black and white. I realize that now. There are things that should and should not be done in this world. I have experience in both...

But enough about these mysteries. A little background on me, for those who may happen to stumble on this little piece. I am a relatively short man, about 5'6''. I have short hair, curly but usually shaved down, except for long sideburns that I grow out. It's unusual, and gives me a bit of an exotic look I find. What else...I have blue eyes...and brown hair. I guess that's it. Oh yeah! And I'm 37 years old. I have no family and few friends...

When I'm not working away my life, I enjoy taking walks during the day.

That's it I guess. I'll get back to work. If anyone happens to visit, a comment would be appreciated.

Thanks.
