My computer is having some serious problems. Like, throes-of-death-type problems. It's kinda scary. I think maybe replacing the battery and the power cord, which are both kinda hosed, would do the trick. But it seems stupid to spend money on a computer this old; I just can't afford a new one right now ( Read more... )

I post a lot less when things are going well than I do when they suck. I realized this as I went back over my last couple of pages of posts, and realized how infrequently I started posting in early October, when I moved into my place, met Neil, and things generally began to suck substantially less ( Read more... )

I've just discovered Kefir, which is my new favorite thing. I am currently drinking a raspberry-chocolate concoction that is actually *healthy.* It's wild. I'm also watching Dirty Jobs, sitting in my fuzzy orange armchair, trying to catch up on all my blog reading, thinking about Neil, who is quite likely thinking about me, and trying to make up my ( Read more... )

WHEE!

I'm BACK! After reading the riot act to a very nice woman at Cox, I am now fully internet-functional, and it only took THREE WEEKS. Anyway, I'm here, and they're not going to charge me for anything, and it will all be okay except that MY FLIST OH MY GOD Y'ALL. It's been a month. I'm a leeeetle bit behind ( Read more... )

I'm at Starbucks, paying $2 an hour for internets, but I had to share this with y'all. On Thursday night, I decided to take a Ferris Bueller day with pointnopoint on Friday, and I emailed in sick for only the second time since I started working in June. I was a little worried that people would be angry or upset or that they'd email me back that I was fired. ( Read more... )

I have very little coherent to say yet -- which is kinda rough, since I've been at work for more than three hours already. I stayed up to watch the acceptance speech, so I only got a couple of hours of sleep. I'm overcaffeinated and I can't stop grinning ( Read more... )

MONDAY 1103

So, it's been a crazy week, and it's only going to get crazier over the next few days. pointnopoint will be here Wednesday, and I've been trying to get the house presentable. I just put the primer and first coat of paint on the fireplace; I'll need to do a second coat, and I don't know if it will be dry enough by the time I go to bed, but it's ( Read more... )

So yes, it's been a couple of weeks. The closing went ahead according to plan, I took possession of the house, and my folks and I have been working on it ever since. These days I spend every waking moment at work, at the condo, or insensible on my parents' couch, exhausted beyond measure by those first two things.

The work continues apace. The ( Read more... )

Having spent most of my LJ energy on that meme, I am now tired and need to rest up before my closing (CLOSING!!!) at 6:30, which is almost past my bedtime (fer cryin' out loud) and thus will be sorely taxing to get through awake.

But!  I wanted to announce that at work today, I rocked it.  Rocked.  It.

I was so fucking good at my job today that ( Read more... )
