Woo hoo! 1300 bucks back from taxes (
That’ll get my windshield fixed, my brakes fixed, with LOTS of money left over for setting aside for my next set of insurance payments.
I hope to get some RAM, and a new video card for the computer. I figure if I can bump my RAM to 1 gig, I’ll be fine.

Tons of stuff happening lately
First and foremost – I got a promotion! I’m now a Data Entry Clerk III – I know, big whoop. But think about it this way – this is the first time I’ve ever been promoted on the sole basis of the fact that I’m damn good at doing my job. And I love the sound of that.
Some fortunate soul on the newsgroups has posted the first 6 seasons of DS9 for my viewing pleasure – and what a pleasure it’s been, I just finished the first season about 5 minutes ago.
Haven’t been sleeping well at all lately, I’m taking Flexerall for my back to help me sleep at night, but I’m still not feeling rested when I wake up. Even my supervisor commented that I looked real tired.
Got a new temp yesterday – and she’s keying in monetary already. I hoping she’s a keeper – she seems real excited about working for Banknorth. From what I understand – she called her and told her she was excited because she had a cubicle! Hehe.. It’s nice to see that type of enthusiasm for a job. And she cute too, which helps my disposition as well.

I have love/hate relationship with Winter...
I do love winter. Don’t get me wrong. But there is something serenely peaceful about winter. Sounds are muffled, so when you are walking around in a city, it sounds like you are the only one there. I love to watch snow falling. It’s very claming to the nerves and to the soul…
But on the other hand, I hate winter. I can really get TOO cold (like today). I hate the ice that forms on my windshield – especially the ultra thin ice that take forever to scrape off. I hate having to wait 15 minutes before moving you car.
And I also hate ice. Mostly black ice. I was taking some laundry to a friend house, and while I was walking to their door, I didn’t realize that there was ice completely covering their driveway – at least not until I slipped, saw my feet in front of me and then landed with full force on my left arm. So right now, I’m in a bit of pain, but nothing some ibuprofen can’t fix…

I love my job
I love my job…
7 Above and Beyond awards in a year. 3 raises. Unofficial Lead clerk for my group. And paid holidays. I love my job. I have a 3-day weekend and I’m planning on enjoying every minute of it.
Heading over to my friend Phil’s to play D20 Star Wars, and then back home to do some needed tidying up of the place. Monday is an relax, play video games, watch movies day (although I am watching Raiders of the Lost Ark as I type this), and this Friday is Payday. Lotsa overtime this past couple weeks, so I should be able to play some of my rent, pay on my car, and pay my last insurance installment this check as well. And I MAY pick up World of Warcraft. My friend Jeff and Ben play it and want to suck me into their evil plan of getting me addicted to it. I’ll think about it for a while.

Well. Here I am trying out the new “Blogger for Word” that Blogger is offering. Also signed up for Yahoo 360 today. They have a blog on there as well, but all my post are at blogspot already, so I made one post – “Check out my active blog at geekbearinggifts.blogspot.com” Sorry Yahoo, you’re a great site with some good products – but I’ll keep my blogger.
