Randomness

Well, I pretty much broke my "at least one post a week" rule last week, so I just thought I'd throw up this general update.

Work has been crazy busy and my desk seriously looks like some giant vomitted Blackberries and aircards all over my cramped cubicle, but hopefully this will be under control soon. Last October or November we started more clearly defining our jobs/positions and now we are starting to refine those even more, so a lot of the extra stuff that I do that has nothing to do with what I was hired to do will be going to other people and our current filer is going to become my assistant. I think this will be good for me because it's going to force me to be more assertive and really be a supervisor.

I hope that this also helps to establish some sort of heiarchy in the office because right now if our project manager leaves there's no one here with the knowledge to take her place.

One of my co-workers quit/got fired -- yeah I didn't know both could happen at the same time, but hopefully it will be a blessing in disguise. He did need to go, but he also wasn't the biggest problem either. So we shall see. Seems like this should be a good evolution on what we started last year.

I have been working on several stories and I was about ready to go all Gallahger on my laptop this weekend. I had written this really, really good 25 page story that I was almost done with and my computer did this crazy thing that it does sometimes and wouldn't save it. It does this every now and then and I don't know why, but there's some sort of glich when I go to save something and it erases the document completely off of my thumb drive. Usually, I can just turn around and resave it, but this time when I tried there was another error and turned my 25 page masterpiece into jibberish.

I was livid. This is probably insane, but I actually think I'm feeling spiteful toward my computer right now, because I don't really want to even look at it. I mean, this is probably one of the better things I've written in a really long time and now I have to start all over and pray that I remember at least 70-80% of what was written.

Arg.

I guess, I just need to break down and call geek squad because something has not been right with my computer for a while now.

But on happier notes...I've been feeling really good. It's amazing what eating right and getting rid of 22 pounds can do. I can't wait to see what I feel like when 70 some is gone. I'm still having problems sticking to an exercise plan. I guess I need to get a membership somewhere with a pool because swimming is the only exercise I love, but there's the whole bathing suit in public thing and being in a pool that God only knows how many other people have been in and what they did in said pool -- it's a little eww.

But off to do real work now...
