and the century is closing down0806 hrs:
*sigh* So this morning was one of those confusing traffic mornings where the normal drive becomes convoluted by strange things other drivers are doing. You know what I mean? Every morning commute has a pattern. I drive in a pattern. For instance, at one stoplight where I make a left turn, I always do a legal left turn (meaning I stay in the left lane and don't drift over to the right lane of the 4-lane street I'm turning on to) and then signal to get into the right lane. This morning, I was cut off from getting in to the right lane because the guy behind me did not do a legal left turn and was already speeding up beside me. This led to me not being able to get into the right lane (where I need to be for my next turn). So yeah - that little incident and a few others made my morning drive feel strange.
Also - left my CD case in the car. I will have to go out and get it soon, but in the meantime I'm listening to my new Ajikan albums (again) and on the most recent single "Fujisawa Loser", the B-side track is really different. I went to check it out on CD-Japan and sure enough, they are not the ones who sing it. Here's what I found out through a commenter at CD-Japan:
"The B-side track is 'Hello Hello'. The song is in English but it isn't sung by AKFG, instead 'The Rentals' lend a hand by singing the song with Aijkan providing the music. You will enjoy this song."
Lately, I feel like I goof off a lot at work, but I think I am being a bit over-paranoid because of the fact that as soon as my boss walks out of her office, she can see what is on my screen. No other person in this office has such a disadvantage when it comes to goofing off at work. I know for a
fact that everyone here does quite a bit of surfing the internets. So when Penny Arcade posted
this comic yesterday, I really felt a connection...

Blah. I am a bit frustrated by work this morning, but don't feel like going into details - too lazy and sleepy. Soooo sleeeepy.... -____- I wish I could lay my head down for a few minutes and just shut my eyes. I'd probably be out like a light though. XD
The cat has been letting me sleep through most of the night this week. Yesterday, he didn't wake me up at all. Today, I only woke up because he was yowling in the hall. Unfortunately, it was 5:50am and once I put him in his carrier and got back into bed, I only had a 1/2 hour to sleep before I had to get up for work. *sad girl, tired at desk*
What does a girl do when she can barely stay awake? She goes on to YouTube and finds stuff to watch for a moment or two. Found this on the front page:
Halloween for PetsIt's too cute, but I kind of feel sorry for those pets...

Ah, bloody 'ell...The CD player on my work PC is going out. I noticed last week that it wasn't playing the whole album and would just stop after so many tracks, but it would play the first 30 minutes of most CDs, so I was ok with it. Now it will only play the first 7 minutes and some seconds of the CD.
Guess I will have to see if I can get my mp3 player up and running tonight. I hope resetting the player worked. I will try to load music on it tonight and see. If not, I guess it really is time for a Zune. I hope they have small ones. I don't want anything too big or bulky...

Right after I finished that last section, I decided to re-arrange my workstation to be more ergonomically correct. I have problems with my shoulders a lot while I'm at work and it is negatively affecting my posture and consequently causing pain in other areas of my torso. I've been thinking for a couple of weeks now that I wanted to change it, but today I finally said f*ck it and just stopped what I was doing, turned off all of my equipment and moved it around to be a lot more body friendly. I feel better already. *happy sigh* Plus, it has helped my morning go more quickly. :D I am also hoping that the new position of my CPU will help the CD player. Before it was in a vertical position and now it is in a horizontal position. We will see....
