Today’s been a pretty decent day thus far. I woke up around 8am, had a cup of coffee and a bowl of cereal (I’ve been trying the “breakfast” thing this week), downloaded some MP3s of questionable legality, and then went out to the roof to tan for an hour and a half or so. I don’t know that I got much darker than I was, but it means I’ll still be darker than Lisa, and really, isn’t that what matters?

After tanning, I took a quick shower and headed to work. I spent my first 45 minutes at work generally frustrated because my boss asked me to update a form, and I couldn’t find it anywhere. I’ve noticed that’s one of the biggest annoyances in taking over an administrative-ish job such as mine: you’ve no idea how the previous person organized things. I finally found the form, saved as an uneditable PDF, on someone else’s website. Turns out my boss had forgotten to mention that part. :) She put in a call to the people who originally created it to see if I could get my grubby lil palms on an editable version.

Despite that little setback, I’ve been generally productive here today. Did quite a bit with the website behind the scenes. A lot of my work is like that. If I’m doing my job well, you won’t notice. I also made three new signs for my cubicle, as it was looking rather impersonal and bare. Now it’s probably too personal, but I’ll wait to see if anyone complains before I take anything down. Sign One is of this picture, which cracked me up the first time I saw it and still has good snicker-enducing qualities. It was also my desktop background at home until last night, when I decided to see how much I could make my desktop look like a Mac. I get bored. Sign Two is of this unicorn, which made me laugh aloud at work, which made me figure it’d be a good way to ensure I’m in a decent mood when I come in, so I posted it where it’d be the first thing I saw when I walked into my cubicle. Sign Three is of Stabby McKnife, of Threadless fame. That one’s probably the most controversial, so I hid it around the corner a bit. You have to be leaning over my cubicle wall or sitting in my chair to see it.

I’m hoping to find something fun to do this evening, but I’ve no leads so far. I’ve gotten myself mostly talked into going to the Rec by myself after work, but that’ll only eat up so much time. After that, I’ve nada. I think Lisa’s got a date tonight, and my roommates pretty much ignore me these days, so that means I’m stuck finding my own entertainment. I hate having to do, you know, things. For myself. Argh.
