Friday
Woke up for work. Planned on going to see Star Wars: The Clone Wars after work.
Spent the day at work throwing out junk and trying to tame the cable mess someone made. Whoever set up the computer network didn’t know what they were doing. I’m putting band-aids on band-aids right now until I can start dismantling it section by section. Two kids were on the computer in the lab while I was also online in the lab. The network ground to a halt. The incoming and outgoing connections are terribly slow and not adequate for the business size. We have a straw (incoming and outgoing) when we need a water main. And we are paying 4 times market prices for the straw connection because the person signing the contract two years ago fell for the snake oil sales pitch and just didn’t know any better. I can’t wait to get out of all the school’s bad contracts (remember – $700 a month for phone rental, not including the price of the actual phone service!).
Came home from work to meet Elli and hang out. We made dinner and watched Dr. Steve O on the computer. It’s a “reality” show where everyone does stupid and painful things (like waxing one eyebrow) and then the host does something stupid and painful. It’s amusing, but not something that we will watch over and over again.
We decided not to go to the movie, and put it off for later.
Standard end of evening routine of Tetris battles, reading and then sleeping.
