the truth never stands in the way of a good story.

i am going out of my mind!!! my bosses have me doing an unthinkably boring task. i go in to the telephone switch information management system, erase a phone number, and put it back in with one number changed. it is sooooo boring! oh, well, it's keeping me busy. i set myself little goals (do 19 pages a day) but i don't think i'll get it done by tomorrow like they'd like. you see, if someone is on the system, no one else can log on and there are things that other people need to do. i just got kicked off and they usually forget to tell me when they are done so i can dial back up. monday is the start of classes. the freshmen are already here, as well as a lot of other students. there is this vibe of anticipation and excitement floating around. it's sort of contagious. it's a good feeling, i like it. i still haven't decided whether i want to drop one or both of my classes. these aren't going to be as exciting as the one i had last winter and i'm not sure if history is the route i want to take. i wish someone would make the decision for me! (i know noone can, though). i don't mind the house hunt. it's the selling that i don't like. i like to comment on people's decorating (as we all know, i'm perfect.... right down to my decorating style.). sometimes i wonder what people are thinking. i have seen some of the strangest things. there'll be carpet or wallpaper that is brand new so you can't attribute these things to being from the 70's or something. i'm talking hideous! one house had brand-new vinyl siding. apparantly they didn't want one of the windows on the side, so they put the sheathing and siding right over it. yep, the window was still there on the inside, looking out onto plywood. i was amazed. it was one to those cool sleeping porches, too! they had started to paint the glass with white spray paint but only had 1 1/2 panes (poorly) covered. i should be consulted in all things before any wallpaper is hung or carpet laid. :^) neither of us are very handy, so we want to buy a house that we can move right in to. any work we'll do, we'll HAVE done. well, i have lost any train of thought i may have had. i'm really all over the place today. (it doesn't help that the fella' in the neighboring cubicle is playing his annoying music - the same songs over and over.) it's manic - depressive (or manic - aggressive?) day in my world. I'll have to be sure to stay out of grocery stores! :^) : yesterday : : today : : tomorrow :
