Me neither. And I've decided to avoid caffeine again.

Nope. Still not a reasonable human being.

Which sucks, as I have to use, like, logic and shit for work.

Sparky - those are fantastic.

I'm in the office. Got moved to a new cube in my absence. I believe the idea is that I'll be sharing the cube with someone else who rarely comes into the office. But for now it is just me. Do I spread my stuff all over or try to contain myself to just a portion of the space. The cube is bigger than my old cube. Shoot, it is bigger than my boss's cube.

And still no movement on getting me a work laptop that WORKS. Grrrr. Arrrrgggg.

If you're allegedly sharing, then spread out to half the space, or slightly more.

Also entertained by sparky's neighbors. Hah!

I am still in Canada. Had a good time at the soccer football game last night. Now my friend is waiting to do a job interview (annoyingly they would only do it today, and not tomorrow, when she will be in the states and no longer on vacation). We plan to hit a museum and then head back home. Sad. Don't want vacation to be over and am already freaking out about the number of emails that are surely in my inbox.

Can you spread out while you are there and condense when you go home, Suzi?

OMG, I just had the most annoying meeting about our upcoming new space configuration. I have literally no additional information than I had before. I asked one question twice before giving up on ever getting an answer. (Question being, when will I be moving?) So that was a good use of an hour.

I have shifted my things around so they are on one side of the U shaped desk and am only using half the file space. I'm never here, so most of what I have in the office is supplies, files I can't trash, and a few personal items.

I'm getting a different loaner. Also found out they just ordered the new motherboard yesterday. My computer drank the tea over 2 weeks ago and they just ordered it yesterday. Oy!!! I have work to do people.

My meeting today was cancelled, and not even by me! I feel all virtuous and shit.

We got tons of weather growing up -- serious thunder and lightning, blizzards, tornadoes, floods -- growing up, so I while I have a healthy respect for weather, I'm not afraid of it. I LOVE a crazy storm, and would stand on the over hang of the deck, dripping wet, watching.

My mom always got nervous during a storm and a tornado warning, but we never got an actual tornado (thank god -- those things are fucking deadly -- closest I've ever been was a microburst that hit the Plaza about 1/8 of a while away from school when I was in grad school, stuck in the English TA's office watching the weather BOIL outside -- it pushed two cars into Brush Creek on the Plaza.)

And let's see -- we lost our cherry tree to lightning, our TV and a couple of phones another time, and a third time, the electrical system of our car was fried by a nearby strike. And in college, a bolt hit a nearby transformer and the explosion was INSANE -- the power in half the town went out, and (rural MO) half the girls in my dorm were seriously convinced The Rapture was nigh.
