I feel much better now that Monday is over. I have been really bad about Mondays for several months now, but then the rest of the week is smooth sailin'. You know what, I wonder how much of it has to do with those 8am meetings.

Seriously. That shit ain't right. You know, the meetings where you're just a warm body in a seat? They address me MAYBE once a month. I've just resorted to taking paper and doodling because I know I'm not needed there.

Speaking of not being needed, Sema suggested that I try to get a telecommuting agreement from work. I really did try earlier on, but because there's no "critical need" for me to be out of the office, they'd prefer everyone work on-location. Now that I think about it, it would actually piss me off more to work from home because I've heard that trying to access the network through VPN is nightmarishly slow, on top of the already crippled machines. Oh, corporate short-sighted stubbornness. You're the reason Symantec still exists.

I was expected to spend all day catching up on my emails and such, but I was done in 20 minutes. No kidding. Out of the 45 emails I had received since the 17th, only two were of any importance to me. Normally I get more, but since I wasn't actively 'stirring the pot', there wasn't much traffic. It's just insane the amount of useless email that goes around my work, yikes. And it's not junk like chain letters, either- it's all business-related! Just directed at all the wrong people. It puts a sinister twist on Dilbert comics when you actually begin to experience the subjects they ridicule.

And I know my boo  semjay thinks I hate her, but that is several not trues. I just luff in different ways. I purchased all of my Christmas presents for her today (protip: don't look in the mail for the next week, seriously). Actually one of the presents is really 13 smaller presents.

I am a terrible person to shop for because there's nothing I ever want. It's either "I have no immediate use for this" or "I can jerry-rig one myself". Oh! Speaking of jerry-rigging... I was taking some test videos for fun, and was having trouble positioning one of the cameras. I ended up cutting a hole in a Kleenex box to use as a camera holder. You really don't want to know. But anyway, it reminded me of a really cool camera tripod thing, Gorilla-something-or-other. Has anyone heard of/used it before? It's like a tripod but it's got posable legs... Oh, and I like money :carlsjr: (<- this needs to be a usable icon, hint hint)

Well...
I've kept up with the NBPM posting all month. What should I write about tomorrow? I was thinking something awesome. Is there anything you've always wanted to know about me? It can be like Formspring minus the Twitter spam! You can ask two, four, or even six questions, but never three.

(Never three...)

Time for bed I guess
