Seven of Oops

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Wiping

I just realized how very wrong this photo I took was.

Pass 7 of 9…. Wiping. Yes. Exactly.

I want to get sleep

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

I’m tired. I can’t sleep though. My husband has decided to mess around with the stereo at 11pm! Right now he has Cypress Hill playing in an attempt to test bass levels. I gave him some Deep Forrest, but he doesn’t seem interested in listening to it.

For nearly a week I have been searching for a splitter. I knew I had two splitters because I found them when we were cleaning out the computer stuff. Of course I forgot where in the world I put them. I need one for work and I couldn’t find the darn thing all week. Then I was looking at an unmarked white box this evening. I realized what was in it and jumped up to check. There they were. Two splitters nestled in with my CCTV camera equipment! Much excitement for me.

What I need the splitter for is to split the cable feed coming in to my cubical neighbor’s cubical. I have a USB video tuner stick and in order for my neighbor to monitor the video feed and me monitor what I need to, we have to split the line. I could probably find a splitter around the office, but I knew I had unused ones here at the house, so I’m just using this one. Here’s hoping Monday is much easier on me (and my feet).

Ooh, it has gotten quiet. Maybe he is ready for bed.

Mummy

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Hi Willie. I don’t know if you’re reading up, but there’s about eleven or twelve years worth of material here. Have fun.

In other news, I just finished watching the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince trailer. All that I can say is… “Are you my mummy?” The kid playing lil’ Voldemort looks the part.

Josh is complaining about it being split into two parts. I guess I hadn’t given this information previously. Oops. Sorry.

Respond

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

I hate when someone who is asking for help does not respond to the questions you ask back in order to solve their issues. /sigh I’ll deal with it this weekend I guess.

Someone brought in “The Secret” at work and we all sort of watched half of it at lunch. We all generally eat at our conference table and the TV is there as well. So far I haven’t learned anything new. I did have a wacky million dollar idea. It was a joke, but it would be funny if it happened. We’re thinking of bringing DVDs every day for lunch. We would have to be very careful with what we bring in though. We have people coming in and out of the office all of the time.

Ping Pong

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

I’m waiting to connect to the mail server at work. Something is going on and I can’t get to it. I’m a little too tired to think about it. I have two or three meetings tomorrow. One I’m quite interested in and another is more of a one on one lesson. I’m sharing my wisdom of website updates. Exciting.

Last night was weird. I woke up around 11:55 p.m. and I was covered in sweat. I also swore there was a giant spider on the ceiling. I’m talking like 18″ wide kind of spider. One of my co-workers thinks I need to watch what I eat when it is closer to bed time. I don’t recall eating anything late. Maybe I am just losing my mind.

On that note, I think I will try to get to bed now. That way if I do wake up thinking about giant arachnids, I can try to get back to sleep.

Mr Camaro

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

Mr. red Camaro driver (Plate R12 ITE), you murdered a turtle today. You had plenty of room to move, yet you did not. That makes you a turtle murderer. You look like the type of person that watches My Name Is Earl. You should know that karma applies to killing small creatures too. Remember this when you arrive in hell.

Not Giving In

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

My husband isn’t giving in. I’m trying to convince him that we should skip that whole sleeping thing and go see an O’dark thirty showing of The Dark Knight on the IMAX. Can’t blame a girl for trying, right?

I also discovered that I can get a one way fair for the express bus from here to work, for $0.90 each way. That’s $9 a week instead of $45! I’m seriously thinking of doing it. I have to talk with my supervisor when he gets back from vacation, but I mean, whoa. If I do start doing that, my Archos will come in even handier than it already does!

Well, since he still won’t go see the Dark Knight, I guess I’ll just go to sleep.

So Tired

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Josh and I went to bed quite late last night. We were mesmerized by some strange old movie on TV. I can’t find out the name of it, not even online! I thought for a moment it might have been something from Alfred Hitchcock, but I’m not positive. I will find out, someday.

Staying up late made for a long day for me. We’re almost ready for bed now.  Mmm, sleep

To go or not

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

I’m torn as to whether or not to go see Sarah Brightman when she comes. I know Josh wouldn’t go, but all I would have to say to Brittany is, “Do you want to see Sarah Br” and she’d say yes. My dilemma is whether I want to lose my hearing. That woman can hit the high notes. So, what do I do? Tickets aren’t out yet, but I need to decide now I suppose.

More Purchases

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

I’m glad I got a job. Josh’s hard drive has been acting weird. At first we thought it was Windows being Windows. Apparently it wasn’t. He did some tests on his hard drive and it threw back lots of errors. So, we bit the bullet and went out in search of hard drives. We also bought two new battery backups because we had two that failed. New batteries would have run nearly the same, so we went for new units.

I did manage to get rid of some computer supplies while we “cleaned up” the house. I don’t know if the thrift store can get much for them, but I am giving them network cards and other assorted fun. They could probably sell the battery backups as well. If someone can get the batteries cheap via their work or something, they’d have some nice units.

The cat is being a butt-head. She’s chewing and clawing things because she is hungry. She doesn’t normally get fed for another hour, but we may have to give into her so that we don’t go insane.

Ooh, race is starting, I’m off.
