Natural Sceptre

Here I am, still at work.  I’m in the midst of one of the chapters, but need a bit of a brain break.  Today has been…interesting.  I only come to the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays- which so far has lead me to do a lot of my work at home.  I’m hoping that with my schedule evening out, I’ll be able to complete MORE of my work here in office, and less at home.  That way I have a less scattered, working all the time type feeling.  So, yes, back to this morning.  I came in to the office and trained Shanna a bit on blogging.  Then, all of a sudden, I found out that we were having our bootstrap photoshoot today!  We had a photographer come in and take our pictures for the website.  So, she arrives, and I’m wearing flip flops.  Not boots.  I grab Shanna, and we run to my house to get my boots, driving with the window down to hopefully dry my hair on the way.  I get back and find myself sitting on my desk, trying to look “intense” wearing my boots still dirty from our trip to the San Rafael Swells this past weekend.  If I look half sane in any of those photographs it’ll be amazing.

Then I settled down to do some work, which commenced the hours of tourture trying to get my computer hooked up to the network here.  It’s important for me to be attached to the network for oh so many reasons.  Not the least of which is that THAT’S WHERE ALL THE FILES ARE.  For the book.  That I’m editing.  At one point, I got SO INCREDIBLY frustrated that  I left my computer with my boss and went off to find something to eat.  I wasn’t even hungry, I just needed OUT.  So I ended up in the parking lot of a WalGreens in Springville eating an ice cream cone.  Seriously, emotional much?  I got myself calmed down, went back, and we fixed the problem.  Ended up uninstalling Satan’s Program.  Also known as Norton Antivirus.  I call it Satan’s program because of the way it makes people feel good and safe inside when they have no reason to feel that way.  Yes.  I so testify.

 Anyway.

 So, my computer is now connected to the network.  One chapter is successfully done, and another is almost done.  When I finish here I will go home and read for my classes tomorrow.  Actually read.  I’m starting to realise that I don’t have bunches and bunches of free time.  I need to get on the work train baby.  Just one more semester…..

 Oh yes!  We have an exciting new addition to our home!  John got a MacBook.  Looks like we’re too cool for school.  My favorite feature of our new computers has been the camera phone through skype.  Now we can watch each other type stuff!  Wow.  You don’t know what you really look like until you see how your computer sees you.
