Bored, bored, bored
Jun. 5th, 2007 12:50 pmWe get these...lulls in the workflow at my job. Nothing, and I mean nothing, happens for a couple of days. And then, of course, teh taps get turned on full-force. So I'm wasting my degree and (mumble) years experience surfing the net. Go me.*
Speaking of taps, my stupid washing machine has a drip, from the whatever-you-call-the spot where the water pours into the tub. Pretty steady one, too--after 24 hours there is about 4 inches of water in the machine, which I've been running on a spin cycle once a day to keep it from going bad. I turned the water off at the taps this morning, but I'm trying to figure out if this is something I can fix (or talk my nephew into fixing) or if I need to call a repair guy.
This is my second week of Getting Into Work Too Goddamned Early in the Name of Art. I hate getting up before 7 a.m. on a regular basis; the job where I got the most and best sleep and was physically happiest was when I worked second shift (3-11 pm). I've made the cardboard model of my main project and bought the copper to do the mockup with--if the prof approves, I'll order silver tomorrow. Probably about $100 worth, if I go with a heavy gage. Luckily I have all the supplies I need for my other projects, and I'll try to post pictures here as I remember to.
The lower-carb thing is sucking less. I may be getting used to it. (shudder)
Some silliness for y'all:
"Graying Duo Keep Passenger in Check"
And, in case you haven't been spammed with these, two of my favorite time wasters.
* Actually I'm wasting my degree in the job, period. I never thought I'd wind up--barring a few technological advances--essentially doing the exact same job my mother did. *sigh* Definitely not what I went to college for.
