Robert got a new job!! He's a graphic artist for a local advertising company...he finished up his first week today. He likes it much better than PCF 3\/1|_ 817)|-|35!!
I haven't typed 1337 anything in a while...sheesh.
Got a new laptop and monitor for the desktop. Laptop is a Dell Latitude D620...2gig ram, 80 gig hardrive, intel core duo 2000 (2.0 gig processor, dual core!) 14.1" screen, dvd-rw, built in wireless-g and bluetooth...the list of perks goes on. That and it's SOOOOO much lighter than the old one. The new monitor went to assist in a dual screen setup. It's sweet, though a little lopsided. The old monitor is 17", the new one acting as the main monitor is 21" widescreen (they're the same height, one's just much longer).
Work is busier than ever...the ops manager was fired, so between me and Rob handling the department until the new guy settles in a bit more, it's really been a pain. I've never done two jobs for one salary, that's for sure. 20k REALLY isn't worth all the shit I do, why am I still there?
Because I like the people I work with. I know it will be beneficial in the long run. We're getting close to opening a new office. I am really looking forward to the new office. It'll give me more of a chance to prove I deserve a raise.
Went to the Family Values Tour last week. Korn, surprisingly, still kicks major ass without Head. And Jonahan was fucking hot as hell, even though he was wearing a kilt.
Also have a new band obsession...Flyleaf. I heard there was a chick band and wasn't really looking forward to hearing them, thinking they would sound like Evanescence. Well, they didn't. It was more along the lines of Kitty. And the only chick was the singer, which can do shit with her voice I could never do.
Also, we have a new kitty named Maya (like in Azumanga Diaoh). Her fur is a bit longer than Zoya...calico with white legs, tummy and chest and stinky breath. She and her brothers and sister were born outside one of a family friend's house, but then the mom was hit by a car and died. We brought Maya home when she was only a month old. Her brother (an orange tabby) was taken in by my mom. My brother named him Tigger because he jumps like crazy...and climbs your pants when your in the kitchen. Both have brown eyes, not yellow.
That's all I can think of...
