Why is New Years Never That Exciting?

I tried to have fun — went out to the casino with my roommate and a friend even though I don’t enjoy gambling. It was supposed to be an exciting event! It wasn’t that bad but I just spent the time watching my friends play blackjack while we annoyed people by blowing our party horns all the time. There was an area with a band but I don’t know if you have to pay or what because there was a gate separating the entryway and I didn’t feel like going in alone.

When the ball finally dropped it got louder and the couples kissed while some hardly looked up from their slot machines. So… eh, it always seems so fun on TV and everything but I’ve never really had that great of a time. Maybe if you have that someone special to spend it with it would be different.

What made yours special? Or was it just basically another day/night?

My New Toilet Seat Cover

I just thought I would share my awesome new toilet seat cover. I’ve just
moved into a new apartment so I’m slowly getting things together. I
didn’t plan on getting a cover as it’s normally not something I
consider necessary but this was something that I saw and at once knew
it was too perfect not to get! Think about it — it’s a Pooh for when you’re gonna take a poo! As I said… perfect! And it was only 99 cents.Pooh Toilet Seat Cover

First Real Work Day

I finally have a job. I started working about the 29th of November during a real pain of a snowstorm. I’m working at Microsoft as a vendor but I still work in a Microsoft building and they are our main client so it’s pretty close to working for them. Anyways, it’s an interesting job that will allow me to learn a lot and travel. I’m studying for my first MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional) exam. A lot of the studying is done at work so as I said the job allows me to learn. I’m part of a team that provides technical support to all the conventions and trade shows that Microsoft is part of.

Today was my first day setting up for a show. It wasn’t scheduled in advance but they found they needed more people so some of us volunteered for Sunday (overtime) duty. We set up a couple hundred computers complete with mouse, keyboard, webcam, headset in addition to some VoIP phones. Had to crimp cable for quite a few of the computers and all that good stuff. A lot of carrying things around and connecting work but it goes fairly fast with a bunch of techs. Got a free lunch and dinner out of it. Some of the guys didn’t think it was so hot but if it’s free food I’m all for it! Especially since it’s better than I would be making for myself. Even got some salad and fruit!

So, back to work at the office tomorrow. At least I’m learning something and working on an income! 🙂
