Extreme Boredom
June 4th, 2009
It was a pretty boring day at work today. I got in at my normal time, but our carpets got shampooed today, so that meant that I was only really able to work for about an hour and a half before we had to take everything off of the floors and take the chairs into the hallway.
It was kind of nice to have a break like that, but it made for an extremely boring day at work today. I thought I was just going to be able to sit outside in the sunshine and chillax, but it was so damn hot that I just had to come back to the hallway outside the office after about 20 minutes.
I am glad that I got text messaging on my phone though. I twittered throughout the day and more importantly was able to exchange a bunch of text messages with someone who always seems to make me smile. And of course, if I had known that this person wouldn’t have been bothered with me sending them messages every 15 minutes, I probably would have sent them messages every 10 minutes or something. LOL.
So, because I have become some sort of text fiend, I decided to get a new phone tonight – one with one of those slide out keyboards for ease of use and after I got to the store, the guy there convinced me to get this other phone which was pretty similar to the one I wanted to get. I was pretty happy that the phone was free, but after I got it home and was testing it out, I figured out that the one I got didn’t have camcorder capabilities! Doh! That sucks! I finally figured out how to post short videos from my phone to youtube and now I can’t. Well at least for the next day or so. I am going to take it back after work tomorrow. I am sooo glad that they have a liberal return policy, but am also pretty bummed that I think I should limit my use of the phone until I get it replaced, so I don’t think I should send as many texts tomorrow as I wanted to. Oh well.
It’s kind of like when I got my new desktop. It took me a couple of days to get that puppy set up just the way I wanted it to simply because I got a pretty good base model and a super super awesome video card and then when I got it home and was about to set everything up, I figured out that the power supply was inadequate for my video card. LOL. I was going to go in the morning and get a new power supply, but we were raiding in World of Warcraft, so I had to put that off until later that night.
But everything worked out in the end and my machine is super and I am happy.
Anyways, I digress. The custodian people told us that we might be out for about an hour and that because they weren’t doing a really deep shampoo, the carpets were going to be dry half an hour after they were done. Yea right. The carpets still weren’t dry 3 hours after they were done, so at that point, my boss finally came back from various meetings and just let us go home. The funny thing was that because the carpets were still wet, we got them dirty bringing all of the chairs back into the office. Doh again! Well, at least we were able to go home about an hour early today. Wheeee!
Wow, this post is boring! I am mostly writing this to apologize for my poor spelling and grammar on my previous post. I just re read it this evening and was constantly /facepalming at all of the words that I left out which actually made some sentences a little incomprehensible. So much for attention to detail. I could go back and correct it, so I seem smarter than I really am, but it’s done. I think people can get the gist of what I was saying.
One other thing I think is pretty funny is that I have been getting quite a few friend requests on Facebook lately from people I knew in elementary and middle school! I just find it quite amusing that these people remembered me after all of these years, even though we never really hung out past the 7th grade.
Well, it’s time to clean the kitty litter box and then off to bed!
