Ugh, work was stressful today. I mean, it was one of those all-around bad days. Well, it was fine most of the day. It always gets really bad at two-thirty when the main shifts switch between morning managers and afternoon managers. I swear… if everyone stopped whining about what the other shift didn’t do and just did their work the way it was supposed to be done… but I digress.
Besides, I’m sure other people complain about me, too. I know I’m not perfect.
I’m so happy, though! I got my new external hard drive in the mail the other day. I just went from my 40 gig laptop drive, to that plus a 250 gig external. Oh, it’s lovely. I’ve moved most of my files over, pictures, video, even my entire iTunes library (which isn’t huge, but it’s big), and I’ve only used 9 gigs of my external so far. Oh, this will be lovely! I don’t have to worry about conserving space quite so much now.
I hope my check is good this week. I need to get my plane tickets booked to go up to PA this summer. The earlier you get your tickets, the cheaper they are. I’m almost more excited about the plane ride than the actual wedding… is that dumb? I’ve never been in a plane… well, once when I was three, but I don’t remember anything but a red blinking light. I think my window overlooked the wing, and that was on the end. That and I’m excited about travelling to another state all by myself. I mean, I’ve been away from home by myself before… but Dad drove me. It’s not the same.
Man! Jackie just called from work to tell me that a woman who was supposed to work tomorrow is stuck elsewhere because of the weather and all… so I get to work tomorrow. The good thing is that I don’t have to go in until eight (as opposed to seven thirty), but the bad thing is that tomorrow was supposed to be my day off and I hurt! I get off work on Friday, then, and have two days off (which I haven’t had in a long time), so that part is good. Man! We were all geared up to watch a movie tonight, too. Oh well. So goes life.
I guess that’s really all I have to say. I’ve got some stuff to get done. Over and out.
Got our cell phones in the mail today… all but mine. It’s complicated, but I’m using Dad’s number until Wednesday or Thursday. But the main point is, I have my cell now!
Nerd crossing ahead! I upgraded my Wordpress to version 2.1… they released it about a week ago and I’m sickly excited about it. LOL. Nah, I’ve been messing around with it on my own computer and I really like it.
I thought the upgrade was going to be sticky, but I did it in five minutes.
Okay, so random bits of news.
Yeah, that’s really it. Isn’t that sad? Oh, and I’m almost twenty… but I guess that doesn’t really count as news…
I’m sure you’ve heard of Josh Harris, the guy that wrote the “I Kissed Dating Goodbye” book. His two younger brothers have started a website and forum called The Rebelution. They’ve got this survey, put together by believers (girls, in fact), all about what’s modest and what’s not… and what guys actually consider stumbling blocks. They won’t release the answers until 1,000 believers (only guys can take it, though!) take the survey. I’m really interested in the results, after perusing the questions, so pass the word along to all guys.
We Messianics have to put our two cents worth in, too!
I like to think I’m pretty good with my computer. I mean, with its upkeep and all. I have a top-notch firewall, I have an anti-virus program and two spyware programs. I do disk cleanup every other day and I try and defrag every week. I empty my recycle bin often. I uninstall unnecessary programs and I don’t have that much music on my drive.
Sometimes, life gets busy.
What? Four percent free space on my hard drive? WHAT? How did that happen? I don’t even have enough free space on my drive to defragment (which pretty much rearranges files so you have more free space, by the way). Dang it!
And so I break out the virtual garbage bags and now I’m sludging my way through all of my files, getting rid of anything and everything that isn’t tied down. I tried to rename my Recycle Bin to The Dumpster, but it didn’t clean things up any better.
Good grief, I have a lot of files! They make iPods bigger than my hard drive!
PS: Our cell phones are in the mail. They’re sending us new phones anyway. Hey, we’ll have backup. So definitely leave a message if you’ll want my number.
