I have several things I’m trying to do at work while I’m answering calls and hanging on to my sanity. It’s neat to have something to be put in charge of and take responsibility for. Project 1: Update the Help Desk Website Copy Myself and the hourly full-time guy are in charge of updating the…
Spend Your Energy Wisely and Be Happy
I’ve written before on how I’ve developed a different attitude towards wealth and money. I used to believe you had to be rich and have everything easy to have a happy life. I know that’s stupid and childish, and somewhat selfish, but I’ve always envied people who had more than me. In the last couple…
Getting My Ducks in a Row
Today I applied for grad school at the university I work for, and called some people to provide letters of recommendation. I also had to update my resume to submit alongside my application. It’s going to cost $40 to apply to this school. I’m applying to the Project Management program for distance learners (read: online…
Where My Tax Money Went: Sony Playstation 3
So it’s been about two months since I got my tax refund – and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using my new Playstation 3 that I purchased with that tax refund. Aside from the fun downloadable video game demos and 3rd party games that I got from the Playstation Store online, it’s also an awesome blu-ray movie…
That Time We Don’t Talk About
Several years ago, when I was in school, my buddy and I decided it’d be a good idea to disappear for a couple of days and go have some fun on a road trip. This buddy, she likes to go on random “adventures” and get lost and not tell any one where she’s going, and…
Everyone Loves a LOLCat
It’s Thursday, the week is almost over, and soon it’ll be the weekend and you’ll be relaxing or running errands or doing something besides what you do all week long. If you’re low on motivational fuel or good vibes or whatever and just want a laugh, hopefully this lolcat will give you a quick pickmeup.…
It’s Time to Get Naked
If you’re not already Naked, you totally should be – if you’re getting ready to shower, that is to say. I’m talking about Naked Naturals shampoo and conditioner. I got a sample in the mail the other day of Naked Naturals Citrus & Keratin Fortifying Shampoo and Fortifying Conditioner. First of all, you should know…
iMovie Festival 2008
Last night I attended the first annual iMovie Festival at the university at which I am employed. It’s not the first ever held, just the first one here. I have to say, it was pretty enjoyable. I was expecting a series of more and more horrible films, and maybe a few shining-star examples that would…
Burned Hands for Hump Day
It’s Wednesday, and at 10:01am I already have burned hands and a year end evaluation for work. The burned hands are compliments of an over-filled coffee cup from the coffee bar upstairs from my work place. It literally jumped out of the cup and the lid slipped loose and it started to swish out around…
Her Side of Television
I have to be honest here: having someone to call “my girl” is awesome. I wanted to write here today about one of the things I appreciate the most about the situation: having such similar but diverse interests means that we challenge and broaden each other’s collection of cultural experiences. The most interesting thing that’s…
