So…I’ve been commenting on my own blog at work ’cause I didn’t have the link to my front page and though I tried to email it to myself, for some reason, I failed.
But now I’m making my own inane comments to myself into a blog for you to enjoy! (I’ll bet you’re excited…)

Blah. I’m bored. I finally got on my computer today, but don’t really know what to do with it. My coworker Jessica is gone today–usually I can ‘help’ her with something, or if nothing else, we chat about inconciquential things. W/o her here, I’m often given brief tasks that take about 1% of my AVAILABLE brain power (not the supposed huge amount that we can’t access…just the part I CAN)and then I find myself looking for ways to amuse myself for a little longer so I don’t go bother my superiors every two seconds.
I don’t know if that is the best path or not. On the one hand, if I DO go bother them, then they can give me more ‘work’…but they always seem at a bit of a loss for tasks for me. I all too often get the, ‘oh…um…let me see…how about…well, open these letters and sort them, I guess.’ And after that 20 minute task is completed, I am rather hesitant to go back right away, since they didn’t really seem to have anything for me to do the first time around.
But now that I am on my computer, supposedly, someone is going to show me how to do the Excel thingy that Jessica does all day. Supposedly.
I still don’t have my badge, so I have to go to the security desk every morning to get a temporary pass, and then go back there any time I go downstairs and then want to go back up. As a result, the fact that we have a pretty bangin’ cafeteria here has been totally unhelpful to me. Well, also as a result of my immense lack of cash, but whatev.
Anyway, I have my desktop and themes all prettified, so I should probably try to go find someone who can help me do…whatever it is we do here.

It seems I may have another computer that restarts itself at will. Maybe. It did so while I was playing ‘Flow’. After the ardous task of making 4 double-sided copies each of two newsletters. *wipes sweat off of brow* However, I must comment that the copy machine here is the SHIZZLE. I got a paper jam, and it told me exactly what to do to clear it; i.e. ‘open side door’ ‘open front door’ ‘turn lever c1 clockwise’, etc.
Pretty spiffy.

The coffee in this office is bloody awful.
Free though.
Free and awful.

Tired, cranky bored.
Spent the past few hours entering phone logs into an Excel spreadsheet…boing and tedious. My eyes and brain hurt.
I wanted to wait until 2 to go to lunch, and it’s only 1:30 now…but I finished my phone thing…so I should kind of go or something.
