-I was a big doofus this morning. There's a RD meeting at work tonight, and we are low on pop, so I stopped at Jewel to buy some. When I got to work, I was feeling lazy and didn't want to have to make two trips, so I decided I would haul everything up at once. Mistake. I had my big ass purse on my right shoulder, a large pile of mail under my ( Read more... )

I'm sitting at work with absolutely nothing to do. Time is going by very, very slowly, so I can tell this will be a long and boring day. I feel guilty not doing anything, but I cannot come up with anything to work on. My boss is on vacation and doesn't get back until Thursday, so I'll probably have more stuff to do once she's here. I would love ( Read more... )

There was an earthquake this morning at about 4:37 a.m. It happened in Salem, IL, which is about 275 miles away from where I live. I was dead asleep, so I didn't feel anything. My sister didn't feel it either, but both of my parents did and woke up. My dad said that my mom was kind of out of it and she turned to him and asked, "What are you ( Read more... )

I wish I could be done for the day. I really don't want to do any more work. Earlier today I had to leave and go to a committee meeting. My boss was supposed to come too, but she's sick, so I had to go by myself. I was kind of nervous going with out her, but the meeting turned out well. Now I have been going back and forth ))<>(( over the ( Read more... )

I saw Western Illinois guy again this morning. Okay, let me try to explain. A long time ago, probably around the time I started working here, I noticed a green car in the parking lot that had a Western Illinois sticker on the back window and a Western Illinois Alumni license plate frame. I don't know why this car drew my attention, but it just ( Read more... )

As I am typing this, I am attending a webinar meeting. Well, it hasn't started yet, but they just made an announcement that it will begin shortly. I've never participated in one before, so this could be interesting. I've already been to a similar presentation in person, so I don't think I will have to give my full attention to this webinar. I' ( Read more... )

-Oh boy, I should not have checked my work e-mail. I have like 50 e-mails from my boss alone. We have this whole week off, as well as Monday and Tuesday of next week. However, my boss asked me to come in on the 28th (tomorrow) because we have to make sure some things get done/processed before the end of the year. She was going to come in too, ( Read more... )

-Yay! I did it! My goal this year was to read 52 books (about a book a week), and I just finished #52 tonight. The lucky book was The Dogs of Babel by Carolyn Parkhurst. I really liked it, but it was a tad depressing. Before that I read Wicked..., which/witch I really did not like. And before that was The Lost Art of ( Read more... )

This is the second day in a row that I've driven all the way to work only to find out that I can't actually work. Last Friday we started having problems with our server, so we got to leave early. Then I went into work yesterday, and the server still wasn't fixed, and I got to leave right away. Today, I go in and find that the computers are ( Read more... )
