I do wish I made more of my life goals though. I'm still sort of stuck in a rut vocational-wise. I had an opportunity to move to Phoenix Arizona after a sysadmin job though, but I turned it down. I only had the possibility for an interview, and couldn't really afford the transportation from here (east coast) to there for an entry-level sysadmin job weakly promised in a chat room. </p> <p>Hopefully something will come up locally, it's hard when everyone requires either a degree, on-call 7 days a week, or both. Maybe I should go back to school, I do have a strong possibility of qualifying for a 100% grant covering all my tuition at the moment, assuming that they won't care anymore about what I did in college 15 years ago, but I did so horrible at college last time, speaking of that, that I'm reluctant to try again.</p> I already knew some of that stuff, it’s probably why I’m not a very unhappy person in general.
