computer crash

I came into work an hour early this morning, and my machine was dead, dead, dead. Not booting, blinking cursor dead. Apparently over the weekend there was some serious snafu involving the power and phone lines. So now I have to wander from desk to desk. There's a serious shortage of places to be anyway, and it is so not good. Ugh. I fire this week too.

I'm going to get my hair cut tonight, in hopes it will improve my mood somewhat. If nothing else, it will at least be cooler. It's so damn hot outside.

Woman: He's not getting a new cell phone until the technology improves.
Man: Oh yeah, well I'm not commuting to work anymore until I get my flying car!

This is so amusing to me.

The strangest thing happened today. I had two birthday packages go completely missing in the last week of May. Vanished utterly off the postal service radar. I was so distressed, and I know the senders were going quietly nuts. Well today, both packages showed up in the mail. I am wild with anticipation, and I won't be home for hours yet!

Tonight I'm getting my hair cut. Nice and short, like Sarah's hair. But sadly, without cool blue streaks. I am too cheap and lazy.

Today is Alan's 28th birthday. Happy Birthday to Alan, and here's to hoping the next year is better than the last one.
