Annoying People

Ok,

So I sit next to a girl named Angie. She's awesome and I have a lot of fun working with her. I just can't stand this guy that comes over to talk to her at least once a day, and it's usually two times. He spends all of his time telling her what she should be doing with her life and I just want to kick him in the nuts every time I hear his voice. I'm usually very conscious about trying to be tolerant of people and not judge them on stupid things like an annoying voice and things like that, but I can't help it with this guy. He's already annoying because of his " I know more than you" attitude and then he's got an annoying voice to go with that. One day I thought I was going to kill him because he was giving Angie a hard time about an event that she put together. I guess she was completely wrong on the type of food that she had there because not everyone likes lasagna and that even though there was a vegetarian version that it wasn't enough because some people don't like pasta and then the only thing that they could eat was the salad. I guess I just didn't know that there were so many things to think about when coordinating a meal for that many people, but he honestly didn't give her any slack. I guess this guy is the main person in charge of the renovation that we're doing here at DRS. We're actually starting to see more visual improvements, but I still don't think there is any way that they are going to make their deadline on all of this, and there's no what that there is going to be enough room. The only way there is going to be enough room is if they get rid of people, and they claim that they aren't going to do that. I think that's a bunch of bull shit.

So anyway, things at work are going alright aside from that guy. I had so much stuff to do this morning that I didn't even check my yahoo e-mail until 11!! Most of the time I hit 8:30 and I'm out of things to do already and on the web goofing around. It was a nice change of pace, time really flew by because I had things to keep me busy that were somewhat using my brain. That's my other problem besides not having enough work. Most of the time when I get work it's something so mindless that it just makes the day go by even slower. I've learned a little bit more though, so now I'm getting into better tasks that actually make me think and analyze things. I should really be working on one of things right now but that's alright.

I'm getting a little excited for going to see Batman tonight. I know that I'm going to be dead tired tomorrow, but that's what Midnight showings of movies do to you. I'm going to have to get up early to take Steve to work and then I'll probably go back home and sleep some more before I really get up and go over to MATC to schedule my classes for the fall. I really hope that things work out well for that and that I"ll have time to go to work as well. I don't know if I was to try and go to night school or not. That could be a little weird. And then i wouldn't see Steve at all. I would still have my work time though...That might be the better idea...Then Steve doesn't need to have someone else take him home. He can either drop me off at school or let me take him home and then I can take the bus back to Brown Deer Rd. I'll have to look that up.

Ok, not wasting anymore time, looking all that stuff up now...toodles.

Internet and Other Stuff

So I finally got internet at my house on the 9th, yet I haven't written on here since the 7th. Things got a little crazy when our air conditioner crapped out on us. That and I don't really feel comfortable writing on here when Steve is around. I know that he would be able to find it no problem. It's not like I really say anything bad about him, it's just nice to have something that he doesn't have to be involved in all the time. I know that he would ask weird questions and other things if he was reading this all the time. It's not like I'm really talking to anyone on here. I doubt anyone that's stumbled across this site has even stopped to read past the first two sentences of one of my blogs.

I really want to start getting pictures up on here. It would really help if I could find my camera. It would be great to find it so that I could take pictures of the few things that I've finished knitting the past few weeks. I still have a few projects that are in the works that I just need to sit down and finish before I start something else. I would love to make some of these kewl socks that I found on the FreshIsleFibers.com Harry Potter section. It's something that I've wanted to make for a while but I can't seem to find the time or I forget about them.

I have to get up early tomorrow even though I'm not going to work because I'm going to go give blood. I really wish the Brown Deer Donation Center would let me donate plasma. It's just more efficient than donating whole blood. We'll see though. I can't keep driving out to Waukesha all the time with gas prices going up so much.

Anyway, I made a new friend on facebook the other day. He's really got one of the kewlest names I've ever heard. I found out after adding him as a friend that he's from Greece!! How awesome is that?! He's my sister's age. Just about 13 years old. It seems weird for a 20 year old to be talking to someone that young, but I think it's pretty kewl. It's not like I have any bad intentions, it's just nice to make a new friend. Maybe I'll have to start being a pen pal with him. That would be great.

I guess that I could try and find something to do here at work, but I just don't feel like working after that lunch I had. Steve and I went to a Chinese Buffet. It was excellent, as it was last time we went. That was back in May on the day of my interview here at DRS. That was a crazy day. Never again will I drink an iced coffee from McDonald's before going into an interview. That thing kicked my butt so far into high gear I was shaking all afternoon. And I only drank half of it.

Well I think I'm going to try and print off those patterns for those socks so that I have them in my hand when I get home tonight. I told Steve that we should have a no computer night and spend some time together watching a movie or something. I still can't sit still even when I'm watching a movie. So I'll make sure that I have something to knit while I'm sitting there. Hopefully I won't have to think too hard and I'll be able to make some kewl looking socks that I can wear sometime soon. Too bad I can't wear skirts at work, otherwise I could show off a bunch of kewl socks. Damn pants and close toed shoes rules. They need to clean this place up.

Weekend Can't Come Soon Enough

Wow,

so today has been interesting. it should also be interesting for me to type it. My typing is completely off today. I can't figure out why I'm having so much trouble.

Anyway,

STEVE IS FINALLY HOME!!!

I'm excited can't you tell?? So that was a good feeling last night when he got home. It was really nice to see him.

I'm at work right now. Steve is here too though he didn't want to be here that long. He was just going to stop in and wirte up his expense reports and head home for the rest of the day and pick me up at 4, but he got roped into doing work because Byron is a jerk. Steve gets back so Byron decides that he can leave for the holiday weekend and Steve can just finish his work for him. I think it would have been better for Steve to have helped out at Rockwell if he was gonig to have to do work today. The unit arrived and then they decided that the unit was too heavy to move with the equipment that they had there and that they needed to bring it back to DRS to get it off the skid it was on. So Steve's getting super pissed about that because if they miss their test dates next week then they won't get a chance to test again for about 4 months!! That's pretty nuts. And if he would have known that things weren't going to go well he wouldn't have busted his ass while he was in Illinois to get his stuff done.

So I'm sitting here waiting for my manager to go over the report that I'm supposed to send out. I sent it to him about 3 hours ago and he still hasn't looked at it. I just reminded him about it because he finally came back after disappearing after lunch and he's talking to another girl that I work with about something else. I really would just like to send that report out because it's done and his manager would like to get it and he's the one that my manager is looking at it for. He's making sure that his manger doesn't have anything late and I already told him that he doesn't So I really don't know what's taking him so long.

We might go to see the fireworks tonight at the Lakefront with my friends from high school. It all depends on how Steve feels though. I kinda wanted to know by now so that I could let people know, but I guess it's going to have to wait.I'll be texting them later today saying that we're not going to be there. I just hope that I remember to do it before they wait for me for dinner.

It's kinda fun to write these long blogs, it helps me get through the day even if it does only take me 5 minutes to write even when I'm typing like crap. I doubt anyone would want to read it though, but that's ok. I guess it's time for me to end because there's nothing else of importance to write about. Not that anything I already wrote was all that important.

Steve is coming home!!!

So Steve is coming home tomorrow!! I can't wait to see him and finally not spend all the time in the house alone and go to bed alone. It gets really depressing after a while. I just don't know what to do with myself half the time. I feel like I've spent the last month just cleaning.

He's going to finish up testing within the next hour and then they get the fun task of taking apart the chamber where they were doing all their testing and get the unit out of there so that they can ship it back to Milwaukee. Steve has a few things that he needs to get done tomorrow morning, but then he gets to leave for home.

There are a few things that I need to get cleaned up before he gets home tomorrow which means that I need to get them finished tonight. There's a chance he could get home around 10 tomorrow morning and I might not get up until 8. I don't want to have to scramble to get things done. That would be a nightmare. I really don't have a whole lot to do. I would like to get the rest of the boxes in the computer room looked through so that we can start shaping that area of the house to what we want. I'm not sure if Steve still wants to get a new computer or not. If I could afford a new laptop then he really wouldn't need to get a new PC.

I was going to go and look at my money situation again today. It seems that I have a little bit more money that I thought I did. That's always a good thing, but I'm not sure it's enough to spend on a computer. I just don't want to be at $10 left in my bank account while I'm trying to go to school and work at the same time. And then that $10 will go towards going through hunter's safety which I also need to get going on. I've gotten more into figuring out what I'm doing for school next year that I forgot about that whole thing.

There's no way that I'm going to get a class in before August which is when I'll really need to start focusing on getting all my shit together for school and make sure that I have enough money.

So yea, I guess that's what's going on in my head today. I'm at work trying to get stuff done, but I keep getting interrupted by e-mails from my boss asking me to do different things. He's not even in the office. I guess I shouldn't complain because I at least have things to do today. I spent all of yesterday and Thursday the week before doing absolutely nothing. And no one had anything for me to do either. I guess that's how things are going to be for a while though and I hope they don't start giving me too many things to do because then when I go to school and start working less I won't have as much time to get it all done. But at least I'll just come to work and get what I need to get done and that will be it.

Well I guess I should get a move on. I might have to bust out of here early again tonight. It's not like anyone cares. And no one's going to tattle on me because it's not like they get a whole lot of work done during the day anyway.

This is a really long post. I really need to start taking pictures of things and putting them on here. It'll be really hard though since I'm not really allowed to bring in any computer devices from outside the company. That'll start to ruin stuff and whatever. I guess I'll follow the rules. I was supposed to get an e-mail from someone from Timewarner today so that I could set up a time to get internet at our house. Ok, time to go.

Work is boring

So I'm at work. They NEVER have anything for me to do here. If there is anything, it takes me about 5 minutes to complete, or it is some monotonous task that makes me fall asleep because it requires no brain power whatsoever.

I've been wasting my time on Facebook today. And looking at the two majors I'm deciding between for this next school year. College really is a bummer sometimes. I just want to go to school now, but I have to wait for the fall because I didn't get my act together soon enough for summer classes. That was really stupid. There's nothing I can do about it now though.

I'm looking into a Computer Science or Computer Engineering Degree. I'm thinking that the engineering one is not going to work out for me. I'm just not good at electrical stuff. Half of the classes are electrical engineering classes that will most likely kick my butt. Not that I don't want a challenge, but I just don't think that's really my thing. I love the programming and stuff, but not the EE.

Steve's been really supportive about it all and that's a good thing. I don't know where I'd be if it weren't for him. He said he'd even help me if I can't make the payment for school all on my own. As it looks right now I'm going to have to pretty much empty my bank account when school rolls around, that's not going to be fun.

Hopefully I can get over there sometime this week and get that all figured out. I want to do it without Steve because I think that it's something that I should be capable of doing on my own. If there are things that I need to talk to him about later then I will, but I don't want him there asking all the questions for me like I know he would. I just don't want to be a child anymore.

Well I guess I should get back to work. The rest of the day should be pretty uneventful. If not you'll hear about it tomorrow.
