There was a silver glitterbug, I think.

Argh.

My machine got a call today while I was at work. Robert Half, Inc needed a Mac tech support guy.

I'll try and call them back tomorrow morning and explain I am at a temporary job and that I might be interested, as the temp job was supposed to only be 3-4 weeks, but was swapped to a 6-8 week.

I doubt it will still be open, though. Sigh.

Not only is new job boring (I got 12 calls in 8 hours), they have removed windows games, internet access, and printing from the NT4.0 they are running on Pentium II machines with 64 MB of RAM.

I will endure new job, as it may pick up, but I regret missing the call.

Kristin has a new old tag.

I am zonked.

Also, I finally saw the new Alias.

The hell?

ita, I'd be glad to make you some bombs with just silver glitter, if you like. e-mail me.

It's time for me to go to sleep. Love you all.

Night!

There's no need to grovel, Deena, although it's fun to be begged. Just sent me an e-mail so I remember.

Daniel--if you get the better job, quit the temp job. It's a temp job. They wouldn't hesitate to fuck you over if they suddenly didn't need you.

Or maybe I'm just in a bad mood because there is something seriously fucked up about the new glasses I just picked up, and it's not something hugely obvious like "everything I look at is blurry". It's just when I look at things not straight-on...

Take Meara's advise, if something better comes along jump ship, especially if it could turn into a permenent position. The second place I temped at (for only one day -- thank god) I was told I could leave early if I wanted, but I was being responsible and said no. I was told that no one had worked past noon, for some reason they always left and didn't come back.

After one day I found out why. MY GOD! It was horrible and disorganized. Blech.

Cereal to add:

My brand new computer has problems. I was having problems connecting to the internet and shutting down, I called HP for support and the first person pretty much said he couldn't help me and I wanted to talk to a manager. I got my computer at Best Buy and they only have a 14 day exchange/return period for computers and today was my 14th day. HP had some kind of 15 day thing. I was pissed off and wanted my money back so I could buy anything but a HP. I got disconnected, called again, and ended up talking to a nice lady.

The only helpful thing the first person told me was to run system recovery. Which I did. This made me angrier, because that's not something I sould have to do with my new computer.

However, things are working better, I've updated Norton, the spy ware, I'm running a program called Trend Micro that the HP lady suggested, my firewall is up. And I'm getting a call back tomorrow. If I have any further problems I'm going to contact HP and ask for my money back.n But right now the nice lady with the Canadian accent managed to sooth the raging beast within.

Welcome, boys and girls! Today in Kristin's brain, we're going to learn all kinds of new things!

Some things we'll be very excited to learn...

Kristin, you gorgeous creature, the things I'm learning and re-learning for the current client are going to make things so much easier.

Some things we'll wish we learned before the first time we clogged the plumbing with rose petals and seaweed...

Oh! And if it has bits of stuff in it (flowers, petals, bits of cinnamon), you might want to put it into a knee-high that you don't want anymore. That way, when you throw it in the water, it fizzes etc., but the bits of stuff don't get all over, or in places they don't belong. (You DON'T want cinnamon bits near your bum. Trust me.)

And some things we'll learn after we've given ourselves an allergic reaction. Can you say "bubbly evil red belly ring reaction", boys and girls?

Surgical steel, often used in earring wires and advertised as hypo-allergenic, is NOT nickel free, usually containing 8% nickel. People with a slight nickel allergy may tolerate surgical steel earrings for a few hours or maybe even all day. But they may be so sensitive that even the buttons of their jeans cannot touch their skin.

Oy. Cass, you remember all that jewellery I was so excited to buy last week? I'm pretty sure I'm going to be asking if you want all of it.

If it helps, I'm gonna say yes.
