Today didn’t start out so nice, but quickly improved!  I woke up early (negative) and went to class.  The class turned out to be cancel and replaced with an online lecture, but the professor felt bad because a couple of us came, so she gave the lecture in person anyway (positive).  After that class, I walked to my bank to find out if I was going to need to apply for another debit card when my current one expires; I don’t, another is sent in the mail to me before the old one dies (positive).  I had an hour and a half until my next class, so I decided to walk from my bank to Wehner, probably about a mile, along University Dr. (positive).   It was very interesting, I don’t know why, but I felt a sense of adventure and exploration.  When I arrive at Wehner I still had an hour left, so I got a Blue Bell ice cream sandwich, the cookies ‘n cream kind, and a Starbucks iced coffee (positive).  The total was less than $5 (positive).  Next, I had class with a few friends (positive).  After that class, I had Marketing class.  At first I thought it was going to be as boring as it normally is, but today we discussed some of the marketing campaigns Texas A&M University is using and came up with ways to improve or add to them (big positive).  It was a lot of fun in my discussion session today.

At work, I was able to complete or, at least, send several ISER’s on their way (positive).  After 5 PM, I worked on a project to upgrade all of the PC’s in one department to Office 2003.  This involved uninstalling Office 2000, installing Office 2003, and running an audit program that scans the PC for software.  All of the PC’s except one were updated and most PC’s had successful audits (moderate positive).  I’ve almost completed that project task (positive, I really like completing things, it gives me a sense of accomplishment).  So, I was able to leave work at 8:30 PM (moderate negative, it could have been later), totaling a little more than 22 hours for this week (positive).

I made it home in time for Battlestar Galactica and I will watch Battle 360° when it repeats at 1 AM (positive).  When I checked my email, I discovered that I might be getting a second job as a web designer from my former boss (major positive)!  This has really got me excited!

Later this evening, I’m going to take a hot shower (positive) and go to sleep for close to 11 hours (big positive).  I hope everyone had and will have an excellent day!

Today was slightly wild. I woke up around 7:30 this morning and left for my hometown at around 8:20 am. My previous boss had his computer crash, so I went to see if I could get some things back to the way they were before. Around lunch time I run home to get a few things to take to my new place. On Aug. 4th, I moved to a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom condo with 3 other guys. Adam, my friend from church since I was 4, is one of my new roommates.

After I loading my car, I head back to my previous job. I installed a trial version of Office 2007 until they buy a copy. Just playing with it a little while, it seems very good. I think I’ll upgrade my computer to it. At around 1:00 pm, I have to leave. I grab some lunch at Dairy Queen and pay with 26 quarters. I got a unique look from the cashier.

While eating, I head toward my new job. I work as a Technician in the Internal Information Support department of an unnamed company. It will remain unnamed because the handbook says I’m not suppose to publish to the world for whom I work. Anyway, today I did a few tasks/jobs and then just sat around. I did however get locked in to an area of the building I work at. Some of the doors only let you in and the others were locked after 6:00 pm. One of the doors is just malfunctioning. Fortunately, someone in an adjacent room opened a “window” and allowed me to crawl out.

I’ve had a few phone calls today that I needed to respond to. One related to a wedding I’m attending tomorrow. Another was to find out when my fall semester at Texas A&M ends. And the last one was to figure out my weekend plans.

While I was at my previous job, I got a picture of a lake. Now, I can finally start working on a website for them and get paid! I’m excited though. I like messing around with CSS and HTML. I’m going to see if I can figure out Drupal. Anywho, I have some videos to catch up on. Later, and I do apologize for the informality of this post.
