I like my laptop and now it's half paid for. o/~ If I could turn back time o/~ I would have bought a nicer one, but c'est la vie. It works and it runs WoW, albeit at reduced graphics quality.
I.T. was working on everything today, so phones and computers were down for 3 hours. This meant the only thing to do was file...eww. We have probably 240,000+ "pouches" on everyone booked in our jail. We add paperwork to their pouches from their latest bookings or court hearings. This means there is usually more than 1,000 things to file at any given time. Oh well, something to do. Everything will be down again on Sunday morning too. Eww. What did we ever do before computers at work?
Been neglecting books recently and reading Vanity Fair and Vogue. I hate it when people automatically dismiss fashion magazines as vapid or insignificant. In fact I'd say Vanity Fair's focus is maybe 40% fashion and the rest is politics, society, and current events. They have some of the best writers in the world, regular and guest. I am always excited to get the newest issue. Sure, I often stare glassy-eyed at the ads and wish I looked like Karlie Kloss, but I get it for the articles!
I finished the first Professor Layton game and picked up the second. How is it that I can solve a 45 picarat "Move shit around 'til you get an object out of the maze" puzzle without difficulty, but I can't solve a 10 picarat math question? When I yelled "Fuck you, Layton!" at the screen, I knew it was time to turn off the DS and take a break.
Hey, I don't think I've posted about my trip to Six Flags with Lucy for her birthday. We had a blast. I went on my first upside-down roller coaster, Medusa. I was scared shitless waiting for the ride to start. The first drop was OH MY GOD so steep. I felt my stomach practically fly out of my mouth. After that drop and a scary big loop where I felt like I was going to fall straight out of my seat, the rest was a blast! I loved going upside down. We also went on Kong but it jerked us around so much we had aches and pains the next day. We waited an hour for Tony Hawk's ride and then it broke down. After about 15 minutes we finally got to go on, and it was underwhelming. We saw lots of animals, including the lion show and the elephant show, which were fun. Photos to be uploaded to Flickr/Facebook when I stop being a lazy bitch.
Oh yeah, some good news before I finish this entry: I lost 3.2 lbs this week! Doing Weight Watchers again...hopefully for good. So far I am actually enjoying it and settling into new eating habits. It helps that there are lots of foods on the market now that cater to those watching their weight, i.e. 100 calorie puddings, yogurts, chips, cookies, etc, not to mention healthier frozen meals and other options. And with sugar-free versions of many drinks and treats, it's easy to indulge and not feel bad!
Well that's all for now.
Always remember: You're good enough, you're smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like you.
