why am i still so busy??
The end of the semester comes and you think 'hurray, finally I get all my free time back, finally I can catch up on the things I need and want to do'. How is it that I still don't have any free time, in fact I think I may actually have less. True, I am able to come home from work and don't have to worry about homework, but usually I'm so sick of the computer I want nothing to do with it. I have noticed I have a tendency to go out more, which could be where all my free time goes. Just a small possibility, one I do not wish to explore further b/c I don't want to give that up.
I have noticed that doing 'daytime' things has be come pratcially impossible. I've only needed to go to the bank for about 2 weeks now. It's so hard to force yourself to get up early on Sat when it's the one day you get to sleep in. As you all know, I am about as opposite as a morning person as they come.
Hopefully, I can squeeze in all the things I want to do. When you really think about it, summer isn't that long and I still don't have a capstone idea!!
hper computers
HPER got their new computers today, all 200 of them which came in about 600 boxes. You never really can imagine how many computers that really amounts too until you see them all. It actually went very smoothly but it was hectic. I'm also sure you can't imagine how much trash was generated by that many computers. When one gets a new computer the four styrofoam blocks (2 for computer, 2 for the monitor) are large and bulky but not that big of a deal. Try dealing w/ 1200 of them! Lets just say we filled up 3 1/2 dumpsters w/ just styrofoam. When things get to that scale, one has time to reflect on how much unnecessary trash is generated by the things we buy. I felt kind of bad filling up all the dumpsters w/ unrecyclable stuff. So all now all we have to do is put them together and move them to offices. Guess who's job that is.... :)
outdoor tanning girl
I am so glad that the semester is over. It's nice to have the weight of deadlines lifted when everything is all done. Now I can start to enjoy the nice weather, or can I....
I have to admit I am extremely jealous of outdoor tanning girl. Everyday I see her laying in the sun while I trudge off to my day of work. Why can't I have parents who pay for everything so I don't have to do anything?? Why isn't me who wins the lottery so I can lay in the sun?? I know how to solve this problem! I need to marry some rich!! Then I too could lay in the sun and watch others go to work. I would think to myself 'haha look at those fools! I used to be like them but I have found a better way!!' Hopefully, my skin wouldn't get all leathery or whatever happens to skin that is in the sun alot. Remember 'Something about Mary'?
Maybe laying in the sun would get boring after awhile, not to mention hot. Hmm maybe it isn't so cool, but I do wish that the buildings I work in at least have windows. And sad to know that it is really nice outside but I can't see it. That and why do they always have to be so cold?!? It's 90 degrees out and I'm sweating my ass off walking to work wearing jeans just so I don't have to freeze all day. I guess that's the price you pay for not winning the lottery!
I guess for now I can take solace in the fact that at least on the weekend I can be like outdoor tanning girl b/c I don't work during weekends!!
