such as the putting of your photos online so you can see them, and share them with your friends. without having to scan them! such as i am doing now.
these are from the saturday night when john was visiting, and we went to stephanie's friend troy's house. they aren't necessarily the clearest pictures, but i like them the most because of the lighting.
but i am kind of an idiot. i went in to work today and, oh, oops! i was actually supposed to work yesterday. this means i am only going to be working for four hours this week now.
i thought that perhaps i might not be able to survive 8 hours of frenzied shopping this morning, but clearly i did. although there were times near the end when i was worried about my mental health and whether or not i was sleep deprived enough for me to start hallucinating. (it's been known to happen.) the best part of my day was when i got a "great team recognition" card after a guest "raved" about the great service i provided. good feeling was quickly dashed by a petulant guest. after work stayed a little longer to do a little shopping myself, but only since i was already there, not because i enjoy the crazed consumerism. bought a few things off of my ever-growing shopping list including my brother's christmas present.
tomorrow i head to davenport for erika's baby shower. i'm very excited to see her. and almost as excited to get the gift out of my room, where it's been sitting on the floor for a month.
right now i feel like when i would stay up really late to work on papers. at the time, i knew they were completely incoherent, but i thought that the words made me sound at least somewhat brilliant. and then, in retrospect, i would realize i sound like a complete idiot. yeah.
has anyone else been watching regency house party? i taped the last episode because of work, and when i watched it last night i was so sad it was over i almost got teary.
today elroy and i had a run-in with a deer. i'm fine, but elroy needs to have his windshield replaced. my dad said he will also pick up a new headlight assembly, but the cosmetic damage will not get fixed. as far as i know, the buck that hit me is fine too, but i don't really know and i don't really care either.
on the upside, at least i had an excuse for being late to work.
still dislike my job but, since i am usually in a hurry to leave when i get off i have been spending less money.
got a package of goodys from laura yesterday including my birthday present, a book, and one of my t-shirts. i've been using the card as a bookmark so i have something to smile about at work.
john is not arriving until thursday now. we don't even know what time because we aren't even sure where he is anymore.
but at least i get to go to my sister's phi beta kappa thing tonight.
and i don't have to deal with pledging anymore.
if you are one of those ridiculous people who thinks it's a great idea to get up at ridiculous hours of the morning the day after thanksgiving so you can start your christmas shopping and at the same time get a free piece of cheap crap, for crying out loud be nice to the poor workers who have to get up and cut their holiday short because of your insanity.
(i have to be at work at 6am-2:30 that afternoon.)
can anyone help me out? since my dad installed norton on our computer, i haven't been able to get hotmail to work correctly. i get emails where i am supposed to click on things, and another window then pops up, but i can't get anything to pop up. i have had problems with cookies before and it wouldn't let me do things like that, but i can't remember how i fixed it or if that is even the problem this time around. *sigh*
our friend john (the guy from england who i didn't see when i was there in january) is visiting us next week. he arrives on tuesday, and i am missing my sister's phi theta kappa ceremony to pick him up at the amtrak station. i hope that i can understand his accent better than when he calls drunk.
work sucks donkey balls. i'm getting so bored with it. there's no variation.
curiously incongruous has some more really amazing photos of london. i'm indescribably jealous.
this weekend my brother's friend tim was visiting, so they had a bonfire. they're both into building things, so they had the wood in a sort of hut, which burned really fast and really well.
then they put in a copper pipe, which, when it burns, gives off green and purple flames (i don't know how it works exactly). it's a really neat effect, but doesn't photograph the best.
you seen the new target commercials? the joy to the world a la three dog night christmas commercials? i heard that for seven-and-a-half hours today. over and over. and i had been thinking earlier about how i would like to hear some music at work once in awhile.
a list by me:
my room, the permanent disaster.
working seven-hour shifts at what is quite possibly the most mind numbing job i have held to date.
four more years of record deficits, war, outsourcing and general idiocy from the bush administration. also, w ≠ women. and no health care really, really sucks donkey balls.
from opendiary, quiddity lost her battle with cancer recently. it's very sad, and the world has lost someone amazing.
