HOLY JUMPIN JEEBUS!!!!!!!!!!
It's been so busy and stressful this past week. But all in all a good week. Let's go into it before I have to start the WEEKEND CLEANING frenzy so the boy can come over tonight!!!!
So this was the last week of me working in the current department at work. YEEEEYAH!!! It was nice, they actually took me out to lunch yesterday, AND Dana paid for it. So I had a yummy mexican fajita quesadilla. Then yesterday afternoon, which was a total surprise for me. I was going on my afternoon break. I walked into the breakroom and everyone was back there. They picked up a cake for me and started singing HE'S A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW. WOW, I didn't know what to think. It was very nice on their half though. And it was a total surprise. So afterwards I got my desk cleaned and ready for Monday to be trained in the new department. I'm kinda excited.
Ok, so on the other hand, my raise TOTALLY SUCKED. But my new boss, Neil, is telling me that he could possibly get me more, which would be AWESOME if that's the case. I guess I'm just real excited to be starting in the new department and all. No more dealing with insurance companies, people who can't speak any English, and no more deadlines. And my coworkers are very laid back and cool as hell. One of the girls that sits behind me used to be my neighbor when I lived in Canton, and she rocks the house. Now she'll be my coworker. It felt great leaving Friday when she told me, "SEE YA MONDAY PARTNER." YAAAAY I got all excited.
Personally, EBAY has been my total nightmare this week, but it's about to kick off my experience in mixing and DJing. My laptop should be here sometime in the next week or two. Just a basic laptop that will be used solely for music and mixing. It's a P3 1.06 GHZ processor Compaq. Although I need to upgrade the memory to max it out a 1GB as it only has 256 MB in it right now and find a good external hard drive to store music. But I BEAT SOMEONES ASS ON EBAY to get this thing. Down to the last second. And my computer froze up at the last 10 seconds of me bidding like crazy on this thing. But for $250, I think i got a really good deal. Then I found the FINALSCRATCH 1.5 with the CD Adaptor, coded records and CD's and upgrade pack for around $200. That should be here sometime early next week. Since version 2 is still too expensive, I think this was a really good deal for the money. And the seller on EBAY has been extremely cool about shipping this priority to me.
The boy is coming over tonight once he gets off work. We'll be going through my albums and music to sort out stuff I need to work with, watch a couple of movies that we've been wanting to see and all, and then getting some stuff he's been wanting to get for his apartment. Which means I need to clean the room and get all the laundry hung up, change the bedding out, pick up the den, vaccum, etc.
Oh yeah, I talked to an old friend of mine also this past week from meetings I haven't talked to in a while. Greg told me I should give him a call. So Michael and I talked for a while this past Thursday and all. Then he pops a question on me, "So if I have any extra jobs to do for computer work at people's houses, you wanna help me out??" OH LAWD, now I have a freelancing computer job where I can pretty much set my own fee. 3 freakin JOBS!!!!! WURD, I feel like HEY MON off IN LIVING COLOR. LOL
Ok, now that the coffee is kicking in, I need to start cleaning and all. Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend!!!!!
