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.
For the love of…

I’ve been waiting for bids on software all day, and there’s such a rush on getting this order in, I’ve been afraid to leave my desk for fear of missing a bid. As a result, I sat at my desk, in my chair, for 8 hours straight. I sat down at 8:00 and started calling for bids and didn’t get up until 4:00 when I finally got a bid in. I so need to not be here now.
FUCK YOU!

“Don’t worry sir, we’ll be able to get you those quotes this morning, probably within the hour.”

I keep waiting for this one faculty member to hypervetilate or explode. We’re doing things “as fast as possible,” but attempting to buy $5000 worth of software with government money doesn’t work as fast as going to the store and buying one copy with cash.
Hmm, maybe I should just buy one copy 55 times. That might be faster.
