I'm failing to see why this joke was funny to begin with, and why it's still being forced.

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
Randomly been thinking off and on lately, has anyone here gone from being a night owl to an early bird? And if so for what reason? Curious if there's a story behind it, lol. I mean, seems like a big change to me.
I've struggled with insomnia all my life and after awhile I kind of got pessimistic about it, so there's definitely nights where I might not even try to go to bed early or just keep prolonging it. Topped off with 10-11 hour shifts with my current job and yeah it just sucks coming home and only having a few hours to yourself after all that work. I hate that a lot, but I like three days off. Double edged sword, lol.
So I kind of laugh thinking, if I want more time, maybe just get up earlier instead? I'm really stoked to start exercising again this year anyways and it'd be ideal for me to get that done in the mornings, so that's another factor.
Another thing is it's funny how much I hate darkness now, cloudy/rainy days, etc, I seriously wish I'd never have to see this stuff (been two weeks here lately with crappy weather). At my lower points several years ago I was the opposite living during the night, but yeah definitely can't stand even the thought of that thesedays. Gone to the light side. Freaking love daylight savings now with the spring switch, sun being out till' 7-8pm instead of 5.
There's also random days where I'm up earlier than usual and end up feeling better going into work or wherever. Like I'm just functioning better, haha no idea. I always give myself quite a bit of time to wind up either way though, my work is like a 5 minute drive but I wake up two hours prior to my shift everyday.

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
So, the other night, I had a dream about a clown. He was shooting in my street and I ran to get inside.
He broke down my door, but he was... Seemingly helpless. He tried to steal things and didn't seem to succeed. Also, in the dream I had a rifle that would simply not work. After I yelled at him to "get the f**k out of my house", I checked my collection and other things.
The prick stole my DS games.
The dream was one of those dreams that felt so real though. You could feel, hear, experience pain.
I've been nervous as hell when I go to bed. I've been locking both of my locks, and still worry. And, I live seemingly in the middle of nowhere on a dirt road 1 mile up a large hill.
I'm nervous as I'm typing this.
What the hell.

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
tl;dr:
Long winded rant incoming.
Stuck at work, just ignore it.
Thoughts:
I've been thinking about starting my own small IT business to support local/small businesses back home. I moved to Houston to kick-start my career in Linux Administration, and to skip the tedious task of going to a 4 year college. I have several certifications, and working on getting a few more while I'm here making semi-good money. This job isn't quite what I was expecting, and has had me questioning if this is even what I want to be doing with my life.
Past & Present:
Being a Network Administrator was always my primary goal, even as a kid. When I was in 5th grade, my dad left his computer and college books on networking when he went offshore. I studied those books every night, and became obsessed with such things. My problem is a lack of motivation, which has always been there. I always learn "just enough" to get by, but usually stop there. I'm afraid I won't be able to go through with being self-employed, and taking a big risk like that with a family is a difficult choice to make. However, working like this is going to have me eventually blow my own brains out. This "fast-food" style Administration sucks! There is nothing I'm learning here I can use in other fields, and Web Hosting just isn't my thing. That's another thing that concerns me, as I need to know more about Web Hosting if I'm to support small businesses. I'm sure I can learn on my own, but I hate the way this company is going about it.
Customer Service:
Despite the way I dress, how anti-social I am in real life, and the idiotic posts I make on forums, I pride myself in customer service. I'm not a sales-person by any means. So why did BestBuy keep me around for nearly 5 years? Strictly because of the huge amount of customers who came back asking for "the kid with the black fingernails" or "the goth kid". I was even told once by my GM that that was the only reason why they kept me around. (After that conversation, I kicked up my sales )
I'm sure I'd be great with actually dealing with my customers, if they were in-fact MY customers.
Future:
I've seen a lot of people start doing their own thing after leaving multiple jobs such as this one, but I'm not sure how they managed to get by during the transition period. Doing this may also mean I have to learn more about Microsoft products, and Active Directory, which I know nothing about nor care to learn. I'm thinking about setting up some sort of "simulation" to see if I can even manage such a thing. I've actually done this before when I was learning Network Administration for Cisco products. I had set-up a switch and router running ios, and had a pretend business going. After 5 years of nothing but retail, I'm a bit out of practice and my brain feels like mush.
The Road Ahead:
So now what? Stick with this stressful job until I get the rest of my desired certifications? Stay with the company as long as possible, and just accept my fate (I'll be taking a lot of aspirin)? Get prepared, cut the cords and go for it? Try to sneak my way into other companies in the industry, and hope for a better experience? Suck it up and learn more shit? When I finally do get motivated, I can really get stuff done. I once wrote a sales tracking program while staying up 16 hours straight without knowing much about programming at all, because I promised a manager that I really respected that I would get it done by Monday.
Disclaimer:
I apologize for using this post as a vent, but I really feel like my head is going to explode at the moment. After wasting years of my life preparing myself for this field, and not feeling prepared at all is getting to me. I feel like I just want to give up and do manual labor...
