waiting in a fast car*
0953 hrs:I don't think there is anything quite like getting paid to do nothing. Especially when that nothing means that you are just staring into your computer monitor waiting...waiting...waiting...waiting...for your system to work.
Once again, our systems are moving super slow. Today is actually worse than yesterday. By this time yesterday, I had at least completed 1 (one) thing. Today - nada. I've been trying to open applications and databases to no avail. I end up waiting for 15 minutes or so and then an error pops up. Lotus Notes actually completely shut down on me just now. Our whole office is just waiting for things to work. Needless to say, this puts a BIG dent in our production, which is actually very important to the company right now. Well, maybe this will teach them that if you are going to rapidly increase work load, you should make sure you have the network resources and sufficient infrastructure to do so. What is it they teach you in Girl Scouts (or is it the Army?), that if you fail to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Speaking of Girl Scouts *welcomes the subject change*, I bought 5 boxes of cookies from my niece the other night. I am pretty stoked. I love Girl Scout cookies so much that I don't think words can aptly describe it! While they may be detrimental to trying to maintain or lose weight, they are only available once a year, so might as well indulge, right?
Also, made the health shake again this morning. This time I used blueberries, less coconut milk and more (tasteless) protein powder (found the scoop buried in the powder and it is more like 2 T.). Also reduced portion sizes of ingredients overall, so I only had 1 1/2 cups of shake to drink. Not bad. It wasn't the most pleasant because I forget that blueberries have seeds and I'm not a fan of that kind of grit.
1255 hrs:Think that I should look into getting more sleep. Sometimes when I re-read my entries just to make sure I haven't made any major mistakes, I see errors that are obviously caused by lack of attention span due to sleepiness. Plus, right now I am so tired, I'm not sure how I'm going to keep my eyes open for the rest of the day...
1553 hrs:Just read the last paragraph and I don't even remember writing that. How scary is that? I wonder what kind of work I do that I don't even remember doing? There's been a few of those little "black-out" periods lately where I don't remember saying or doing something. Sometimes, I will remember the moments after someone has told me about it. I'm pretty sure they're just a result of being over-tired and just maybe under a bit of stress. Either that, or I've always been like this, but just now noticing.
Anywho, best to post this and go home. Maybe I'll make it a point to get more sleep tonight so I can stop doing things that I can't remember later.
