@ Kelsey – prior to my (yay!) cubicle dwellings, I was forced to wait for the people that I share a room with to be done with their computers. Or wait until they went off to meetings. And, obviously, that would inefficient. Last year, that’s what I did for the entire summer. Back in 2007, I had my own computer (plus I did reception, so there was that computer as well). Now I’ve got a cubicle with a massive desk, a chair that can barely move between the desk and the wall and a blank bulletin board (which lacks thumbtacks/pins). I also have a phone! Which also works! However, I have no clue what my extension is, just that there’s 7 messages on the phone and I have no clue how to check it – even though none of them would be for me. But there’s still messages! I checked in the drawers – whoever used it prior to me did not clean out their stuff. There’s lots of half-used Post-It pads, a few rolls of tape, some papers, and this weird stand thing (that holds documents up with a ruler thing).

So, I’m now a ‘cubicle goddess’, as an, erm, interesting coworker called me today – once he discovered my cubicle dwellings. Which is an interesting assessment. But people have discovered where I am in the building now, which is really fun. Especially when people go “… Michelle? Is that you?” And they have this look of “oh my cheese, is that you?” (I have no idea where I picked up “oh my cheese” from, I’m pretty sure it’s from volunteering though. It’s either cheese or ‘goodness gracious’.) Life is interesting in the form of a cubicle. Of course, tomorrow I’ll be racking up some driving experience going from Building A to B and then back to A again once before heading home. My bag is going to be full of food for tomorrow… Building B always seems to make me hungry, I have no clue what it is about that building that is so hunger-inducing.

But enough about work… It’s rather sad when I start work and all my entries start being about work. Hopefully weekend entries change that, hehe. So how has your week been so far? Work going well? School going stellar? Everything going excellent?

I am now the proud occupant of a cubicle at work. It’s kinda interesting, it got set up pretty quickly considering today’s my third day at work. So I’ve spent a lot of time on the computer today, attempting to get work done. I’ll get more done tomorrow though, and then it’ll be Friday. I’ve set up when I’ll be doing my volunteering as well. They only had one time available on the weekend, for Sundays. Luckily, I don’t have standing plans on Sundays… And it’s only for two hours… And there’s another twenty two hours in a day. Which is always a good thing. Also got my email at work set up, which is really nice since I do need it. They’ve even hooked me up with the same address I had back in 2007. So when I went to open my email, there was all the emails I had in my inbox back in 2007 and 19 unread emails from the summer of 2008. And since they were addressed to me, I did read them. It was kind of weird reading them a year later though. But it was also weird because I’m pretty sure that people had expected some sort of response to some of the emails. Since they asked questions, directed to me… But if I recall correctly, I did resolve most of the issues… Hopefully. Oh well, I’m sure no one is going to read back a year’s worth of emails.

I also have two of four of my grades in! AND I PASSED CHEMISTRY! It’s the only course out of my four that I took this last term that I was really worried about. I got my English literature mark as well, which went well. And my psychology grade isn’t up ‘officially’ yet, but I do know what it is. And with all my bonus marks, it looks very nice, if I do say so myself! I’m pleased with it.

Plus I’m eating cream puffs right now. Lemon flavoured ones with icing sugar on them. Which is very good. And I highly suggest them to everyone. Go out and get one. Or a dozen, then you could even consider sharing them.

Yesterday’s title came from “Break Me Out” by The Rescues. Go check them out on Youtube or something. Today’s title also comes from the same song. I’m a tad obsessed with it right now, I love it.

Work was okay today. I had a late lunch due to the fact that I was at Building B (watching the cd burning program slowly work…) while my lunch was at Building A. It was not good fun. But in other awesome news, I drove myself from Building B to A and I didn’t get lost (… two left turns, two right turns) or anything traumatically stupid. So I call today a win, in terms of my (lack of) navigational skills.

And I keep on forgetting that no other schools are off for ’summer’ yet. And by ‘other schools’, I mean elementary, middle and secondary schools. Which makes conversations weird, because I was talking to M about his son and it was like “So what are his plans for his summer holidays?” then there was a pause and then a “It’s still April, Michelle.” Oh, right, that. Silly me! But it’s only April for a few more days. And I keep on having conversations like that. Like “Oh, it’s summer term already, that’s why I’m working”, which gets the reply “Summer? Didn’t it just turn to spring a little while ago?” But I was talking to one of my friends last night and she mentioned that she did the same thing. We’re all just so self-centred and thinking that people are on the same schedules as us. Oh well, c’est la vie.

And lastly, for today’s super exciting news (… I have a weird definition of ’super exciting’, obviously) I’m currently blogging while lying down in my bed. And there are no cords extending from my laptop. Wireless internet ftw.
