I got to work and my boss was already there and he&#8217;d been there since <em>5am<\/em>, which I personally think is a little absurd (considering he worked from home on Sunday until <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">midnight<\/span>). I have a workaholic for a boss, but after I told him this, he said that he wasn&#8217;t (go figure). Work was busy today&#8230; People came back from vacation, a certain government-authorized agency doesn&#8217;t like the company too much at the moment due to the recent &#8216;surprise visit&#8217; and I spent a few hours sorting through all the paperwork that was on my boss&#8217; desk because he was tired of not being able to see the fake wood. Good fun, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>I also registered two new domains today, through my registrar of choice: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.namecheap.com?aff=11517\">namecheap.com<\/a>. Both of them are .com&#8217;s and I&#8217;ll be revealing what the name are when I get the sites ready and up (hoping to do so before I get back to school in a couple of weeks). I&#8217;ve tried two other domain registrars before, but one was <em>full<\/em> of ads all over the place and the other was just a confusing interface to use (and this is coming from me!). I think websites, unless otherwise noted, should be easy to navigate and easy to use &#8211; this also goes for personal blogs where the navigation is just roman numerals like I. II. III. IV. V. &lt;- this tells me <em>nothing<\/em> about what the links are for. &lt;\/vent about bad navigation word choices&gt; Anyways, what I was going to say is that it&#8217;s a great registrar and I highly recommend <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.namecheap.com?aff=11517\">Namecheap<\/a>, mostly for the ease of using their website and how quick it is (also, as a major plus, there&#8217;s promotional codes essentially <em>every<\/em> single month for new domain names and transfers, which I happily used today to get a little discount on my new acquisitions!).<\/p>\n<p>Oh, the kicker for today is that I got a message from a girl who was my &#8216;BFF&#8217; back in grades 6 and 7. We stopped being friends over a boy (juvenile, I realize that &#8211; but we were 11-12 and <em>totally<\/em> thought we knew everything). As it turns out, she&#8217;s attending the same school as me and only realized this when she added someone on Facebook and it turns out we&#8217;re mutual friends, so she added me to decide to catch up. And the weird thing is, I swear nothing&#8217;s really changed about her. She still plays the piano, she still goes to church every week, she still sings in a choir. But then again, I suppose some things haven&#8217;t really changed about me either since I was 11 and 12 years old &#8211; I&#8217;m still clumsy, I still blog, I still roleplaying. I kind of expected things to change, but I guess deep down inside, there&#8217;s always something that does stay the same. It&#8217;s interesting, to be honest, talking to someone who knew me when I was that age &#8211; but at the same time it&#8217;s a little unnerving because she would know all the crap I pulled back then, what kind of a person I <em>was<\/em> and it&#8217;s not the same person that I am now.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nMy questions for you today:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is something that you bought recently?
