Well this day went downhill real fast...
So yesterday afternoon there was no need for me to go to the Nielson lab, so I just went home. It was around 6pm and I was exhausted, so I took a little nap, until around 8. Then I bummed around my apartment, watched TV, and generally felt unproductive until I did the dishes and made today's dinner. I also made up a budget for this month and next month... I can make no extraneous purchases out of my $70/wk or I won't get bills paid. It's kind of nice to see that my pay from the last week of work leaves me with about $500 surplus, but due to the fact that next month I will need to have $325 to start out with to even pay bills (due to at least one week of non-lab pay, next week), as well as needing to buy books and get an oil change for my car, that surplus is pretty non-existant. So no thai food or movies for me for a while. Or clothes.
I got off track. Anyway, I went to bed again at 11, and woke up at 9. Threw on some clothes and drove to the lab, risking another parking ticket. I cleaned the lab (threw away tons of papers, cleaned out the recycling white paper bin (put it all in the big bin in the hallway), cleaned out the Lost and Found, and wiped down all the tables) and began unpacking the new computers! They are sexy and black. 17" flat screen monitors, zip drives, combo DVD/CD-RW drives (Bruce made a joke about people copying music, heh), keyboards with all the keys working... it's pretty neat. Oh, 4 USB ports in each too. Nifty.
Came to Saxon after getting 5 computers unpacked and set up... Not many messages, although I hate it when someone feels they have to repeat every part of their message 2-3 times. Got on the mud in time for Jason to say, "Wow, we haven't seen each other much lately, gotta go bye". Hopefully that will change when he goes back to school. Hopefully. I'll have to work around games then instead of work, but they both pull him away the same.
So yeah, the only thing that seems to be working right is that it seems like all the weekend things I have coming up this month are being set for different weekends - dance show this weekend (I'll be working, not dancing), yard sale next, and Dallas mud party the next.
