It's a four-year old iBook people!

Although I keep telling myself I'm going to stop my general complaining about work on my blog (especially since updates are so rare around these parts anymore), it's really hard not to vent at times.

I think I'm getting close to the point where my job just is not worth it anymore. Although, for a time, things were looking better, the past four weeks have brought my confidence in my company and in my ability to properly do my job to new lows. And, the biggest sticking point is, I can't talk about it (because of my contract).

All I can say is I'm really tired of, among other things, 55-60 hour weeks. Yes, the overtime checks are nice, but I really think they aren't worth it anymore. I'm tired. Very tired. I'm to the point that I really couldn't care less.

And that's a point I never wanted to be at.

Yes, I know that means that I need to be looking for a new job. And I have been off and on for a while. But, there are other considerations that I have to think about, such as health plans, bonuses and whatnot--stuff that I'd be giving up by leaving my current job.

I really have some soul-searching to do here in the new future. I really need to figure out what I need and want to do.

If I can find the time.

I have to admit: the Star Trek freak inside of me thinks this is really cool. Yes, it is my screensaver at the moment, but that changes frequently, so who knows what my screensaver will be next week?

Just saw that Opera Software is giving away registration codes for its web browser Opera. It only lasts until tomorrow morning though (at the latest), so if you'd like a free registration code, you'd better get crackin'.

Although I've been impressed with Opera from a rendering point of view, I've had problems with its UI. It's gotten better with the most recent release (Version 8), but still looks way too Windows-ish. But, I know some people that swear by Opera, so it does have its fans. I've always kept a copy around just to see how my web sites render in Opera.
