Help I’m being held hostage

It’s Friday before a long 3 day weekend.  I am at work but through the power of technology I can remote control in to my home computer.  Thank goodness, so there is hope that I might get some help.  I am trapped at the office against my will.  I don’t want to be here but am required to work a full day.  We only have a handful of people here and one of the girls I was talking to said that they are going to ask one of the bosses to e-mail the owner and see if we can possibly go home early.  I was hoping for 11am but she said maybe 1pm.  I am not holding my breath, because if I plan for it to happen, I know it won’t.  So I am prepared to work all day, despite the fact that I don’t want to.

I got to see some action this week.  From Server issues to PC issues, it’s good to be back in the trenches.  I will admit I am still a bit rusty from my long 18 month break but I still have most of my skills.  I got a call from a friend of mine one night on the way home.  She was asking me about her grandsons phone and tethering to his computer.  They paid for the option through their cell phone company but he has never been able to get it to work. Well, he’s way younger than me and if he can’t figure it out, then it must be seriously screwed up. I used one of my work tools and remote controlled into his machine and it took me almost an hour but I got it fixed.  He was a typical teenager and said thanks and hung up on me.  Turns out it was wireless security that was getting in our way.  I explained to him that it was a wide open access point so anyone could join.  He would at the very least want to limit the connections to one user, which he can control through his phone.  My friend called me back and said that he was so happy he almost peed his pants.  While it wasn’t the way I wanted to spend my evening, it made me feel good knowing that I made someone very happy.

The money I got from my first check is almost gone.  It was a prorated check, so there wasn’t much there to start with.  I set a little bit aside from savings but I had to transfer that back to my checking account today so that we can eat and get groceries.  Two more weeks and I should get a full check, which should hopefully last a lot longer. 

Last night I got my hair cut and that took forever.  The place I go to is one of those walk in, no appointment needed places.  Well they got a new computer system and everyone was confused on how to work it.  There was a line forming for people to pay.  I got to see a couple hot guys, so it wasn’t a total waste of time.  However, I hadn’t had supper yet and it was getting late.  By the time I got home, had supper and logged my purchases in my checkbook, did my evening chores it was 8:30.  My where does the time go.

I know that this weekend will probably go by just as fast as my weekday evenings.  Ah, well it’s 3 days to hopefully relax.  I look forward to taking a nap with the girls, I know they miss our naps during the week.

Tomorrow I have to get my blood taken and can’t eat anything tonight after midnight.  That will suck.  I just hate little pricks. :)  Well I should go before I get caught here.

Take care and enjoy your weekend.  I will talk with you peeps later!
