Slowly learning help desk ropes. Slowly because the HD is understaffed and my boss keeps leaving me.

I hope no one's tried to call or text me today. My chocophone white screened and died last night. Verizon visit after I get off work.
Tall people are expert huggers.
Enjoying Tremors 4. Yes, they made 4 movies.
Searching for medium level Rock Band vocalists to crush.
I want an iPod Touch so badly but I need to pay for my car repairs first. Stupid state inspection.
Brand new LG Mint Chocolate ACTIVATED! I am now able to receive calls and text again... Not a single Verizon phone interests me.

gridjit.com will noW NOW let you post. I can't type today.
It seems gridjit.com will not let you post to Twitter. That's interesting.
Upside, far less things blocked at new job. Downside, I'm working phone support so I may have less time to use them. Not that I mind. :)
Sitting in the cafe of City Hall leeching free wifi and munching breakfast foods waiting to meet with the staffing company who hired me.
If I knew as much about cars as I did about computers my bank account would be much better off.

@alexmorse I am with you in the about.com hating. I've never found that site useful for anything. Ever.

"i'm still contemplating... I think everyone here will pitch in their own out of pocket $ to keep u..." They love me, they really love me.
My roommate and girlfriend are playing Pack Rat (Facebook game) against each other while I work. It's amusing to get their email updates.
Is anyone else having a problem editing ID3 tags on certain MP3s within iTunes? I've gotten a couple of albums where I can't change anything
Oh god? There are unused items on my desktop! Whatever will I do? Thank you XP for alerting me to this crisis!

I may work enough overtime this week to buy an iPod Touch. In cash. When I get paid next. LOL
I'm betting I can hit 20 hours of overtime this week. And it's only a 4-day week!
"So I heard you got a job as a bouncer at Pure Pleasure" (a local strip joint) -- One of my co-workers re: my impending resignation LOL!!!!!
Boss sent out "Carl is leaving" email. I think I broke her heart. Been doing nothing but accepting thanks and congratulations all morning.
Lazyweb, I am still on Tiger and Virtue Desktops has become unstable. What is a good free/pay solution for virtual desktop space under 10.4?
Debating picking up some freelance web work for a friend of my parents... hmm
As much as it pains me to say it, Hulu actually looks like it might succeed at not sucking.
Stats this week: Worked 16 standard hours. Worked 9 overtime hours. And it's only Tuesday.
I am ridiculously excited about seeing the Blue Man Group this weekend!!!

Welcome to GE. We own half the free world and have billions in revenue. However, we can't build a network which will transport a 117MB file.
Co-worker asks me this morning to be a reference for him. I agreed. He will never work in IT again. It's not mean, I'm saving someone else.
Not a single thing about getting downloaded updates from Microsoft is easy. Not ONE THING!
No idea where my morning went. I spent two hours running back and forth between people. Things are settling down. Nearly lunch time.
Left work at 11:45pm. Back in at 7:30am. Troubleshooting Outlook upgrade issues and associated users. FEAR OUTLOOK 2003! FEAR IT!
Overzealous pizzappreciation leads to burned fingers (Yes, it's all one word!)
I worked... 16 hours. On zero hours of sleep. I am a rock star. Monolithic robotic demi-god. I am on a music-powered high eating pizza!
@nilsgeylen Yeah, I forgot the reboot. Running out of characters. Had to sacrifice it. ;)

The laptop has no wireless connection because some genius removed the wireless card from its motherboard! ZING! 802.11ing again!
Anyone looking for a $17/hr easy-as-cake IT job in Richmond, VA? Seriously, the staffing agency is asking me for referrals!
You can tell the quality of the staffing agency by the quality of their drug testing provider.

Should I feel bad about persuing a full time job after accepting a position I start next week? I don't.
I had forgotten how much I miss the feeling of watching the sun rise with a cold drink after being up all night.
Really enjoyed The Bank Job. Saw it with my honey. Very nice flick though slow developing. Lots of meaty story just could have sped up.

Annie got into Grad School! Woooooooo!!!

Gone to Blacksburg for a long, and delightful weekend. Annie is a Psychology major. Can this count as a mental health day? (tm) (r) (c)

I foresee tomorrow as a mental health day. I am a ball of stress and a three day weekend with the girlfriend seems like a perfect remedy.
@Alexmorse Friends don't let friends use IE.
