Eek!! Where did the month go?!
So by and by, and at the turn of an eye, a month has almost passed. I can't believe it's been a month since I wrote on this thing, to which I was surprised. It really didn't feel like that long ago.
Since then, nothing has been new. Work is just...........work. I am beginning to really *strongly dislike* my job now. Partly cause of the work environment. Recently, a co-worker got "shunned" from her GC machine cause her calibration didn't work. So for the past week and a half, she did nothing but sit at the computer, because the boss was such an ass, not letting her do her job, and because she was mad at the boss, for getting so mad over what is considered to be a "small deal" in the lab. So a couple of days ago, she quit. I was so sad when I found out. She was such an asset to the lab...I mean...she was one of the few people who were cross trained basically. She knew how to operate and maintain all of the GC instruments in the lab. What are we going to do without her...I don't even want to know.
So, because of that whole incident, tensions are so high in the lab you can cut it with a knife. Everyone is afraid of making mistakes because it could essentially, cost your job. Everyone is bitter, and they don't want to be at work anymore, including me. This coming week I have to ask my other boss if I am able to stay on as part tme. I have a huge feeling that the answer will be no. Unlike last year, it was so important for me to stay on for the experience. And now? Experience or not...now I am not so sure if I do want to stay.
So, the computer busted last week and I spent all weekend on emergency surgery for the damn thing. What a pisser. Ended up having to buy a spankin new 80 gig hard drive for it. Double pisser. Anyways, it's fixed, and I think it's ok now. So far.
In other news, gas prices went up. Now it costs an arm and a leg for you to drive. Geezz. When is it ever going to go down? I mean, it's really pathetic. The other day it cost me $30 to fill up 1/2 a tank. Half a tank!!! It used to cost me $30 to fill up my whole tank!!! And today, I went out to buy more moisturizer for my face. Ponds lotion people decided to smack my moisturizer with a new spanking pretty pink bottle with frosted glass and raise the price of it up by $5 bucks. Oh my god. What is the world coming to?!
For some good news: I have kept my room clean for a month. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, a WHOLE month. For those who know me, and the state of my room, this is an amazing achievement. I deserve an award or something. It's in a perpetual state of messiness, and very often, you can almost never see carpeting. But now it's clean, and I am happy. Although it did take me a week to clean it (dust, shine, wipe, spray clean....spick and span from top to bottom), I am uber proud of ME!
My ipod shuffle came in the mail. Although it was such a gimmick for me to switch bank accounts from BMO to TD, I don't regret the choice. I will never go to BMO for anything at all. Lesson learned. Anyways, the shuffle is nice....all purdy and white. My beef with it, is where the battery indicator is located. It recharges via usb, but the indicator is on the opposite side of the side facing you. So ultimately, for me to check to see if it was done charging on my laptop, I had to pick the laptop up and look at it from that point of view. What a pain in the butt.
Books read this month: Dan Brown's Da Vinci's Code; Kathy Reichis Fatal Voyage; Marian Keyes The Other Side of the Story. What book should I read next?? I hope I get Dan Brown's Angels and Demons from my coworker soon. I really wanna read that!
Ahhh...I love weekends. Welps, gotta go. Playing Tower Defense on Frozen Throne (yay!)
