yay friday

i have a staff meeting in like two minutes. yay! they feed us, we get to sit around and talk, it's just nice.
it's a week early because nobody will be here next friday-- including ME! I'll be wasted, in Buffalo. (We have to go drinkin' with Sean, who's leaving to join the Army finally after talking about if for years.)
I have a routine now. I come in, I login to my computer, I open Outlook, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and Mozilla, I go get a cup of tea, I water my plants, and then I actually get down to work.
But it is just so nice to have all those programs to open... all y'all who have everything you need to get your job done, take a minute to appreciate that...

Ah well. I have one observation from yesterday to mention here:
I got in fine yesterday after walking in, and noticed two things: 1) I wasn't as tired as usual, as if the walk had been less strenuous, and 2) my usually-tight gray H&M pants didn't fit me quite so snugly. Wow, I thought: this getting in shape thing is working!
Then I realized two things:
I didn't bring the laptop so my backpack was ten poiunds lighter on the walk, and I'd worn those pants once since washing them already so they were already stretched out.
Dave, being a good boy, assured me that no, I was totally skinny and buff.
He's a very good boy.

(no subject)

my boy is the cutest.
the cutest.
He's stolen my bed; he's been asleep in it for a couple of hours now. He's right in the middle. All curled up into a very skinny tight ball.
I've been puttering... puttering puttering. Have gotten nothing of significance done. I want to redesign my website; I mean, my personal, at home, bg website. (I'd call it BeeGee, but that's the name of that band and i want nothing to do with them. Beedgie, maybe. I dunno.)
I also have a lot of other stuff to do this weekend. And tomorrow, I'm meeting Sharon and Jeremy down in Manhattan. Woo!
I emailed darius about our trip to buffalo next week but i was dumb and sent it from my work email, which i can't (won't) check from home... ah well.
Phooo... I guess I'm sleepy after all. I should go to bed.
Oh, here's a new one-- Dave upgraded his TiBook to OS X.2.5, and now it's fucked up. It doesn't go to sleep instantly on closing, and sometimes doesn't wake properly. And, most bizarrely of all, the microphone (or so I think it is) in the left-hand speaker squeaks horribly with feedback whenever anything touches the lefthand speaker. So, if you close the book, "SQUEEEEAWEEEEOOWEEE" until you open it. Painful, to say the least. I found that I could replicate the effect by covering part of the speaker with my finger.
Something's definitely fucked up there, and it's hardware. Possibly a little trip to the Apple store might be in order.... Bastages! Fix the shiny thing!
