presidents' day

I am home today reading and researching on my own. I wanted to go to the library but i guess i should have done that saturday cause it was closed yesterday and today. I did go to the book store though. I bought Can You Keep a Secret by Sophi Kinsella (i don't know why i picked that one over a million others), a picture book of Lancaster pre 1930's, Jane magazine, and a los angeles county street guide. Then i went to Best Buy and bought a couple of CD's ... Fall Out Boy and All American Rejects. I liked the singles they are playing on MTV i'm not sure if i like the rest yet. I kinda doze out when i am listening to music and don't really hear anything.

I was just looking through the book on lancaster and it had a picture of a soda/candy shop and quoted that Judy Garland frequented and i looked it up in Wikipedia and it said that she did live in Lancaster for a while. I guess John Wayne (Marion Morrison man i can see why he changed his name) and Frank Zappa lived here too.

Besides shopping and working i have been playing a lot of world of warcraft. My character is level 53 Kick ass! I want to start playing more player versus player because warlocks are supposed to be good for that but i kinda freak out under pressure. I can better predict what's going to happen when I fight mobs but other characters run around and have different abilities.

I haven't said anything yet but my computer for work came in like a week and a half ago. I brought it to the computer guys and they said that it would be ready to use last monday or tuesday but i guess something big and unexpected came up because it won't be ready now until wednesday (maybe). They wipe everything off the computer and reload it. The base has a bunch of extra security things. Work has been going okay. I have told a lot of people but i don't think i have said anything on my blog yet about my job changing. I might be going from a contractor to working for the government. It would be the same job basically but i would have to take on more responsibility. I would have to manage some programs on my own and there would be more paperwork to do. There are a lot of trade offs i have to think about. I don't know which way i want to go yet. The contract that my company (spiral) has with afrl is up this summer so if i stay a contractor i'll probably switching companies then and i don't have a clue what that's going ot be like. I am not comfortable with my work yet. There is a really steep learning curve and i really don't know if i am in it for the long haul. I like the people i am working with though. There are a lot of issues to weigh.

I am going to grow my hair out so i am going to be pretty ugly for a while. I have to get the back cut on the bottom cause it's starting to look ragged. On an unrelated note why the hell is Sarah McLachlan singin on this new dmc song? It sucks!

procrastination station

I am procrastinating. I am writing a paper for work and it's really coming together. I have one more section to write and a conclusion then i'll be done. It's going to be edited though and i'm sure i will have a lot of corrections to make. If you read my blog you probably already know how bad i am at writing!

I am procrastinating in more ways than one. I painted my nails and they are drying. I bought a peach and white color to do french manicures with. It's sally henson beyond perfect protein nail color (comes in a square bottle). I really like it so far. I painted my nails with it a couple of weeks ago and it took more than two days to start chipping.

Now i'm talking to Nikki on the phone. I have to get the paper done so i can play video games today!

not much to say!

Sorry nothing to talk about. I work long hours and have no time in the evenings so all i have been doing is work and paying bills. I guess i did start reading a book about the indescresions of monarchy. It's not very well written but kinda interesting. I got my new keyboard (natural elite) and a tiny mouse at work for the computer that hasn't come yet. I hooked the stuff up to the old laptop that i'm using now. I can type so much faster with split keyboards. I can't talk about work because it's all top secret (just kidding i don't have top secret clearence). Actually i thought i would only get confidential clearance but i have interim secret clearance so eventually I'll have secret. So at work I have been working on this document for like a couple days straight and my boss messed up the format. I was out of the room for ten min. and in that time he changed everything and he couldn't figure out what he did. It was the very end of the day so i e-mailed it to his computer and went home i hope tomorrow when i get in it'll be fixed... right. here's a picture of my new chair and the house warming plant my sisters sent and some cute kitchen stuff.
