Back at work on a Sunday. Replaced the GUSS RAID drive cage and am now waiting to make sure it stays online.
So there seems to be some confusion over this quitting smoking thing. And thanks, to Jamie, I'm aware of it due to being able to have comments now. Of course, the confusion seems to stem from him as well, but just in case others were wondering.
I'd always said, or at least told myself that I would quit smoking when I was 30. And yes, that little goal is scarier than the whole turning 30 thing itself - to me, anyway.
This process was convienintly started when I got the MINI, and didn't (and haven't) smoked in it. That has reduced my Camel consumption dramatically.
Now as far as the actual date I quit smoking, when I decided to attempt a huge shindig to celebrate the arrival of the three decade mark, the party was to be the weekend after the 7th. So I decided to move my quit date to the day of/after the party. Well, the party got moved back three or so weekends, so so did my quit date. My logic is this: I'm going to want to smoke at the party, and it would be unwise to try to remain quit at a party, especially when I just quit.
So now the plan is to smoke it up that night while we're all playing, and then wake up the next morning (lungs hurting) and start from then. That way I won't have a smoking situation too soon after I quit, and that morning, due to lungs chastising me for the previous evening, will be easier to not have one.
And for that matter, I've been smoking for 17 years. What's three more weeks?
It's my party and I'll smoke if I want to.
Time to check GUSS.
And for those who care or might otherwise be curious, GUSS stands for Graphic Universal Sub System, and it's our print server. No GUSS, no paper.
