thought about running downtown to put an hour in at RCHS but naaaah.
I'm just gonna waste the extra 2 hours with sitting here and not moving. just aaaaaaaahhhhh. hmmm, maybe I'll head out in a bit to capture some of this snow on camera- my favorite is capturing the blanket of snow over everything after it stops snowing though so maybe I will just sit here and enjoy the quiet.
Enjoy: Getting all my personal data OFF my work computer.
I\'ve been here so long, I\'d amassed a ton of stuff on here that I wouldn\'t want to lose. And somehow I think if I were to quit or get fired, I don\'t think I would have been allowed a day here to copy stuff off my computer without it looking like corporate espionage.
The only bummer was I killed my Thursday night doing it.
I have some personality conflicts with a couple of mentally disturbed co-workers, and I was basically told by my supervisor to deal with it or go work someplace else.
Put a lot of stuff in perspective - I like my workplace and did a lot to make it like home, including bringing in my old college fridge and my old home stereo system that was mounted on the wall for everyone to use.
That night I was talking with a relative - my mom I think - and she said something that stuck with me. "The place you work should be a work place - not your living room." So, within 48 hours, I stripped all my personality out of the place and took it home, including personal computer files.
I still work there, I still like working there, but my personal investment in the place is my time and my time only. Lots of co-workers have encouraged me to bring back the music, but I tell them if you really want it, you'll buy it yourself. Not a lot of arguing after I say that.
The two psychos still work there, but at least they now I'm not playing around anymore.
He may be pulling in $12 million a picture and deified by women worldwide, but George Clooney is apparently not above digging around in cat s**t for the sake of a good joke.
Actor Richard Kind (who plays Paul on "Spin City" and is a member of Clooney's inner circle) and his pet feline learned that lesson the hard way.
"Richard had this cat that he loved and adored," Ben Weiss, a "Friends" assistant director and another Clooney crony, recalls in the upcoming issue of Men's Journal. "So George would go in the bathroom, and that's where the litter box was. And there would be cat shit in there, so George would clean it up and flush it down the toilet. Then Richard would go in there and say, 'God, it's so weird. My cat hasn't taken a poop in forever.'"
This went on for days: the cat crapping, Clooney merrily scooping and flushing. And eventually, Kind grew understandably concerned.
"Richard went to the vet to get some kind of thing to make the cat go to the bathroom," says Weiss. "The poor cat. The cat's sh**ting, and George is still cleaning it up."
Clearly, the madness had to end. So the erstwhile "ER" star capped it off with a bang (or, more accurately, a thud).
"Finally, George stood over the cat box and took a giant s**y," Weiss tells the magazine. "And finally Richard goes in there and says, 'Oh, my God! Kitty!'"
\"The place you work should be a work place - not your living room.\"
Wise words there. I suppose I have been a bit too much at \"home\" at my workplace. When I went to a salaried position, the hours tended to blur into some abstract watercolor painting. It blurs more when my boss tries to email me on the weekend to ask me a question. It would blur more if he ever got a hold of my cell number, which is why I keep that to myself.
It also blurs more when I treat my work computer like my home PC, or keep personal items at my desk. On the flip side, the net blurs my work time with my home time.
I think I read an article about that once, how new technologies like cell phones, email and the net are blurring the lines between work and home life.
Admittedly though, I don\'t have much of a social life. But usually when I\'m at home my roommates try being mother hens (seriously they need a new hobby). So work can be a bit of a refuge at times. I had toyed with the idea of getting a 2nd job, if only to get enough $$ saved up to get out on my own, but most part time jobs require me to be more flexible in my hours than I am willing to do.
Anyways, enough babbling. Time to head out and figure out what to do on a Friday evening...
my office is totally me. it looks like a happy meal exploded in there. Filmore concert posters, happy meal toys. a basket with relaxation stuff, a purse that looks like a lap, a shelf of "mini" kits - stuffed animals, john deer tractor hotwheels - etc etc etc.
heck - there are pink flamingos lining the hall outside
its the place everyone comes when they need a moment - although they are talking about moving me 2 new office. which makes me nervous cause my little world fits so well...
figure it like this. i am never ever home. especially harvest. i want to be near things that make me happy. when im happy. im producttve.
An Easter sermon totally based upon the lyrics of this fantastic song. I totally thought he was talking right to me personally since I've always said these were my favorite lyrics of all 'time'. And to incorporate them into a sermon was pretty cool. They even played the best part of the song before he even started talking. The preacher guy said that Dark Side was the best album of all time. :cool:
Now that's one way to get people to attend your church
booking my next trip to mexico! I'm going May 1 - 4 with my girls - too bad we are going to Juarez and not Ensenada - no beach for me, but lots of fun mexicans, and beer. yay! :sheepish:
It was cool. He even started off by talking about his messed up toe and how he had to go to the hospital for it and was on pain killers, Valium and strong coffee when he wrote his sermon.
And this wasn't any small church. It was huge and packed. The people loved it. Hopefully he doesn't turn to drugs when he gets writers block in the future. :grin: But if he does, I might just have to go to church when it isn't a holiday. :sheepish:
I never knew this but Easter is always the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox.
not the equinox. that can vary. the rules say that it has to fall after the 21st of march.
unless you're a member of an orthodox church, in which case it has to fall after passover, since christ and the apostles were celebrating passover before the arrest, trial, and crucifixtion. it kind of doesn't make sense otherwise. as a result, orthodox easter is still a month or so away, which must be about the farthest apart the two easters can ever fall.
how true. i was fortunate enough when i got laid off that my boss gave me the chance to clear my personal stuff off of the computer. these days its usb drive only for me.
thats awesome. i love cancun too. love pretty much all of mexico. my next touristy stop is going to be back in cabo i think.
really want to go to michocan territory - that is where the majority of the mexican food (cooking styles) we see in CA come from. i also want to go to tobasco and see the flood damage.
I lost all 200 of the songs that I purchased through itunes when I made some stupid mistakes setting up the wife's new ipod for her birthday, I ended up synching it with the wrong library which then screwed up my synch.
Anyway, upshot is Apple re-examined all of my purchases and have credited my account to re-download them all again at no additional charge.
So I figured out what the problem was with my lost music, and found it on my computer. Apple was going to let me download everything again for free, and sent me a note this morning asking why I hadn't. I told them I figured out what the problem was, and didn't download a second time because I didn't want to seem dishonest by taking advantage of their generous nature. They said thanks for being honest and a good customer and gave me 10 song credits anyway!

Sad
A job shouldn't rob you of your personality. :neutral: :confused: :frown:
