Hmm
Some of these are remarkably accurate.

I dreamt last night that we bought a new house. We’ve only been in this one for a year and a half, so that’s pretty outrageous. The house was the kind that would be on an “estate;” huge, two story, sweeping stairways, grand halls, etc. I dreamt we bought it from my parents which is almost stranger than us buying the house in the first place.
Even more outrageous, I dreamt I slept until 2:00.

Well, the lab is closed, but people are still waiting for printouts. When are people going to realize if you wait until the last 10 minutes to print, you won’t see your printouts until after the lab closes.
fuckers.

Ugh, it’s been a long, excrutiatingly boring day. Fridays are always so slow and monotonous.
I don’t even really have anything to write about.
So I’ve been shopping for Christmas and Birthdays. As I said before, I’m concerned about going overboard like I always do. I’ve put some old 2nd and 3rd edition D&D books on ebay and I’ve already made $22 with a guaranteed additional $23. I’m padding my gift expenses by getting rid of nostalgia. I think watching Clean Sweep has helped me to realize that just because items have sentimental value, doesn’t mean you have to keep them. Find another way to stay connected to you memories and feelings (journals for example) and get rid of the bulk in your home. It can be worth money and make your home more lievable. I may start taking this further as I find other things that no longer serve any purpose in my home.
I also need to finally finish my case so that I can sell or trash the old one. That way I don’t have two computer cases lying around the house (though if I found parts enough to build a second… bah!).
Things have been really good between Heather and I. I love just having her in the same room with me. When she goes shopping or I stay home from work, I enjoy my time alone, but when it’s time for her to come home, I immediately start missing her. It’s freaky, but cool, very cool. I remember, before we had any problems, I would feel spontaneously “twitterpated” just sitting in the living room watching TV with her. That feeling is returning, and with gusto. I just love sitting with her in silence, chatting about mindless crap, going for car rides, watching movies…
…I just love being with her.
And I won’t even talk about the other stuff here, I’ll save that for a more private journal entry.
Tonight I have a lab meeting. If I didn’t, I’d probably be home already. I’ve got a lot of stuff to cover, but I hope it goes by quick. I like staying late as little as the lab attendants, so maybe we can buckle down and get this taken care of quickly. I’m going to drop a bombshell on them today. I’m going to tell them about a new time-clock system we’re going to be using rather than filling out time sheets all willy-nilly.
Oh, crap, I gotta go tell the students the lab is closing in 30 minutes. I feel sory for the lab attendant because they all just walk all over her. The students may mock me, but at least when I say to leave, they get the fuck out.

I don’t know why, but I love these things. They’re at least better than the “what [blah] am I” quizzes.

“Honeycombs big… yeah yeah yeah…
It’s not small…no no no…
Honeycombs got big big taste…
Big big taste in a big big bite…”

Ack, stress. I need to go to the server room, but I can’t leave the lab. Crap. People can’t print as long as I’m here, but people can’t checkin, checkout, or get any other form of assistance if I leave.
Thank Heather for coming down and helping me.
We really need to find a way to be able to manage the pool from the checkin desk, or at least the lab.

I really enjoy shopping for gifts and, unfortunately, tend to go overboard a lot. I love to give people things and as a result, spend more money than I usually want to on them. I was bidding on my dad’s gift on ebay and in the last 5 minutes, someone started upping my bid like crazy. I went about $11 over what I wanted to spend, but it is his birthday and christmas all at once, and I’ve been kind of lazy in the last few years so I hope he enjoys it.

Well, no painting done today, but I got some shopping done and am eyeing something great for dad for Christmas/Birthday.
I watched Average Joe again tonight and I’ll be DAMNED if the big twist in this show is exactly what I predicted it to be from the first episode. I mean when Kathy Griffin announced the surprise, I was not shocked at all, only gloating with pride and glee that I was right on the money with this one. However, surprise or no, I’m actually more interested to see where it goes from here. I think that’s why I predicted it, it was the most interesting twist in my opinion.
RPGA activated the Master-Level GM test today. I failed it on the third question and can’t take the test again for 90 days. Bogus.
Aside from some problems late at night in the lab (thanks Steve), it’s been a nice evening. I’m going to bed.

apparenlty today is the day of short updates. I’ve been sitting at my desk all day with very little to do other than wait anxiously for the phone to ring. When finally it did, it was at least good news, but it involved sitting here for 8 hours waiting. I was pressed for time to get this bid in as quickly as possible, so I didn’t want to miss the call, I wanted to hit the ground running, so to speak. Most of the day was spent trying to get other bids to see if someone could get them to me faster (of the four businesses I contacted, 2 contacted me back, sheesh), or helping a student with a media project. I probably wouldn’t have spent so much time helping him if he wasn’t a) a former lab attendant and b) I had other stuff to do than sit at my desk and wait for the phone or email.
Anyway, Heather’s here now and I’m going to go home and see if I have anything left in me paint. I’m pretty burned out right now and could probably just collapse on the couch.
