I'm a n00b

I've been having some issues with the intertubes lately. I came home maybe Wednesday night from our Holiday party and it wasn't working. It had been working before I left. Strange.

I thought that maybe the crappy weather or something and gotten to it and they would just come fix it. Finally I called them yesterday to ask them to come out and repair it.

This morning I woke up thinking "Maybe it's just the phone jack." OMG it was JUST the phone jack. Crappity crap. It sucks to realize that me being so dumb was the cause of pain for multiple days. I guess I didn't realize all this resigning crap would be so difficult mentally.

I got my ticket information for going to Israel. I'm leaving the afternoon of the 4th and coming back on the 18th. If anyone wants to talk to me - I'm going to be 6 hours off EST; please adjust accordingly. I hadn't realized until they brought it up that Israel works Sun-Thursday and Friday/Saturday is their weekend. Now I have a ticket - and soon a hotel to stay. It's got to be expensive for them to send me for two weeks. A ticket is like $1200, 14 days at a hotel at $200/night, +car at $30/day for 14 days, + meals, easily like 6-7K. My old company didn't even want to spend 6-7 hundred on me. This is amazing!

I need to go take a shower and pack some more before I go over to a co-workers house this afternoon. We're going to go play wii and watch movies (and he really wants us to play our instruments - that might be a bad thing.)

And now for the Weekend update, with your host: Tina Fay

I only wish I had the ingenuity that Tina Fay has in her writing... I'm afraid I'm a desperate lot and most often any attempts at being humorous fall flatter than the breasts in the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), this weekend was relatively tame. Lots of drinking -- but not that exciting. Didn't really get to meet a lot of new people. Though the highlight had to be the marriage proposal I got. Yes, that's right, a marriage proposal. While I'm waiting impatiently to get into the single stall in the ladies room -- I recieved the most amazingly wretched drunk pickup line weirdness. "Will you marry me." Me: "Excuse me are you talking to me?" Druken boy: "Yeah, will you marry me?" Me: "Um no, I don't even know you. I don't even live here." Drunken boy: "Me either." Me: "Um okay -- so I just want to pee." Drunken boy: "But will you ...

Nicest Weather EVER!

The ride to work this morning was amazing. It was some of the nicest weather that I've seen in a long time. Almost 60 deg F, sunny, just nice. I want more of this weather. Bought tickets today for BOSTON! I'm in major need of a mini-break and in major need of getting away from work for a few days. I'm so excited to go back! I miss it sooo much. It's hard living somewhere you don't like. It just makes me think of looking for another job so that I don't have to live here anymore. But I'm not even partially vested yet -- so I need to stay at least a full year to become at least partially vested. *Sigh* Work stucks today for so many reasons. I'm glad it's friday. And I'm really glad I get to go to Boston next weekend. Yeah for Boston!
