::sings:: I’m so excited… and I just can’t hide it… I’m…. ::stops singing:: sorry, didn’t know anyone was listening….

anyways… so I meant to post something about my job tuesday, but here it is a day or three late… job is ok… pretty nice with one exception. I have my own computer which is good… it’s actually spiffy… 1.9 Ghz P4, 512 Meg ram, 120 Gb HD, geforce2, LCD flatscreen monitor, cdrw, dvd… yeah, you get the point Unfortuately to use it, I had to change my name to Joe. This was apparently supposed to be Joe’s computer, but he left, and rather than let me create my own login, the stupid computer guy here just told me to log in under his account… fun fun… Anyways, the computer is probably the spiffiest in the office… Overall, the job is good. I am doing blackhole engineering, so to speak… I go into a hole and no one sees me until I’m done or have a question. I’ve already had two projects in three days. One was a spreadsheet which is still in progress waiting for people; more on that later. The other was a database, and I have to say that I got dad gum good at programming the little quirks of MS Access in a day. I built a database robust enough in two days to show them that Access is just not capable enough to handle what they want. So I was supposed to go back to the spreadsheet, but it turns out the lady in charge doesn’t know what’s actually supposed to go into the spreadsheet… awfully hard to build what you don’t know. And she even was like “can’t you just build a general database and go back and fill in stuff later?” riiiiiight…

so here I sit… I have been sitting here for two hours with 30 minutes left to go. I have surfed everyone’s blogs, I have read dilbert, and now I’m blogging… life is boring when you don’t have any work to do, but you still have to stick around. Sure, I could leave, but I’d lose out on $25, and every little bit counts these days… besides, it’s not like I could go visit deedee like I did two summers ago… I’d just go home and sit and surf, so I might as well stay here and get paid to do the same thing.

I had a pretty spiffy idea for a character last night… can’t write anything about him here, though, because he will be in the upcoming campaign I figured it out and he would need to be 8th level to pull off what I want, and I figure a single 8th level character should be a pretty good challenge if made up properly man… I’m really gonna have to call someone and tell them about it because this is just cool

well… 15 minutes to go (I was typing with one finger to kill time)… makes capital letters challenging I think I’m gonna bring some headphones for tomorrow in case they still don’t have anything for me to do.

10 minutes to go and I’m typing by dropping a pencil on the keyboard…

oh yeah… just thought of two things… 1) I get to round to the nearest 15 minutes, so I can leave 7 minutes early and still get full time 2) I came in 5 minutes early today, so I can leave at 5:25… take 7 minutes from 5:25 and you get 5:18. Now, it’s 5:23… you know what that means???

I’m outta here!!
