tanaiseWell, work was so boring I thought I was going to fall asleep on the keyboard, and probably short it out via drooling. It probably would have been easier if I'd a) not been doing the most monotonous stuff in the world, b) had more than 5.5 hours of sleep last night, and/or c) actually eaten something during the day. Though I suppose I did have a muffin. Still. Not enough. I stayed up way way late talking to one of the guys here, and then didn't get up on time not because i wasn't awake, but because my roommate wasn't and she had to be at work before me. So I kept yelling at her, for very tired mostly asleep definitions of yelling, and finally she got up and showered. I still ended up late, though just barely, and didn't have time to find leftovers to pack for lunch. And the boy didn't work today, so full price tea. It was Tiger Hill Nilgiri, which just works so beautifully with milk and sugar.
Talked to office boy a little. He's...not nicer, exactly, but less abrasive when I'm not there when the other boys are. He is nice, I mean, just not always in a polite manner. I was complaining about not having been able to pack leftovers for lunch today, and he asked what the leftovers were. "Well, he said it was lasagna," I said, and OB said, "He? Oh, did you have a date last night?" "No," I replied. "I have a cook." It's a lovely thing to be able to say. :) I'm going to be so spoiled by the time I move out.
So, all that slushing last night, and I come home and check my mail and there's new stuff! That's why I don't do it! If I leave it alone I figure it will go away on its own. It's like an evil boomerang. Or possibly an evil Jer.
Oh, and a new boy to join my list of cute boys. He's the...friend of a former houser and a new houser, I think, though I missed the exact details, and a computer geek boy, and for the record, I think I fell in love with him when he bounced about the idea of computers that project directly onto the retina. Oh yeah, baby. I'm all about the toys. He reminds me of Mal and Kirsten's Dave most off, with bits of pretty much all the geeks I know in there as well. I hope he stops by in the future, and not just because he's on my list of cute boys, but rather because it's been ages since I had a good geeky conversation with anyone. Jer, he suggests a wall projector for your RSS feed. :) I was helping one of the new girls get her computer sorted out (which it doesn't want to do,) and he as a roving geek was checking that people didn't have problems he could help with. So he came in here, and I ended up not needing his help as I solved the 'getting a copy of IE6 without net access on the machine that needs it" problem on my own (all hail http://browsers.evolt.org. For all your software testing needs.) So then he just hung out while we were downloading, burning, copying, and extracting, pretty much in case problems came up I couldn't handle. And we just talked. And after he left, the girl I was helping said, "It was so neat. it was like you were speaking in a different language. I didn't have a clue what you were talking about most of the time." And I thought, "but it was just the normal sort of thing--binary, hexadecimal, OS discussions, computer details--nothing fancy." But yeah, it's been a long time since I could talk to someone like that (seeing as *someone* isn't online ever, and I haven't a clue where he is when he doesn't call me, even though I've promised I'll call him back--but I'm getting distracted.
and another job I may apply for: http://www.consumerlaw.org/jobs/edit.shtml It's not as much money as i'd like to be making, but more than I am, and they also aren't looking for as much experience as I have. So we'll have to see. It's also looking rather admin assistant-ish, but I may as well take an envelope to work and have at it.
So very very tired. I think it's time for my bed.
