Gonna be okay
I was really worried that I was gonna be screwed financially for this month. I don’t get my first paycheck at the new job until the end of January. I did have some money left in savings after getting my laptop. And when I got my final paycheck from the old job, I found out … Continue Reading
Progress report
Working from home went pretty well today. But I have come to the realization that I need a bigger desk or a second desk. The problem is that I don’t really have the space for a bigger desk let alone another desk … unless I get rid of my kitchen table. I have my desktop … Continue Reading
Now what do I do
I should be in a good mood right now … I have my new laptop to get set up. But I’m not happy. In fact, I’m fuckin’ pissed. Today is supposed to be payday for me. But since I’m working at home, they mailed my check. Kelly said she mailed in on Friday. That means … Continue Reading
First post from the new laptop
Well … my laptop is finally up and running. I had to do some work before getting to play with this. But I’m here now. The laptop is up and running and is connected wirelessly to the internet. I’m actually sitting at my coffee table right now typing this. I haven’t played around too much … Continue Reading
It’s here, it’s here
My laptop is now in my possession. I have already taken it out of the box, but I haven’t turned it on yet. It’s cold from the trip to me (damn winter weather … LOL). I thought it would be a good idea to let it warm up first. Besides, I should probably read the … Continue Reading
On the road again

But it’s out for delivery and scheduled for delivery today. It damn well better be. It left Sioux Falls, SD. … Continue Reading
With both feet
I decided to sign up for Twitter tonite. Might as well jump off the cliff that everyone else has … LOL. I figure I can use that to rant or just small comments that don’t really warrant a full blog post. We’ll see how it goes. I know of 2 people who are on Twitter, … Continue Reading
On its way
I just checked the status of my laptop (since I’m on lunch). Much to my surprise and extreme happiness … IT HAS SHIPPED!!!! No tracking number yet, but it says it shipped. And it will be delivered on Monday (stupid shippers don’t work on the weekends … :G-razz1: ). I can’t wait. I tried to … Continue Reading
Sleepin’ in
Starting tomorrow, I’m going to have a really short commute … from the couch to the computer … LOL. I’m starting to work from home. So I’ll get to sleep in in the morning. Not sure when I’ll get up … probably 7am. I’ll still take a shower ‘cuz I’ll feel icky if I don’t. … Continue Reading
That was easy
Since I ordered my laptop on Sunday nite, I decided it was time to buy the wireless router too. I got the one I had been planning on … the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router (WRT54G). It was $49.99 at Best Buy (as it always seems to be). I am soooo glad I got it. It … Continue Reading
