"And I lost my page again"
A grotty Saturday. I woke up listening to rain outside my window and rolled over a couple more times just to fall back asleep and hope that the sun might change it's mind and grace us with it's presence. No such luck.
Instead I forced myself to wake up only to find that our telephone and internet was down. Our service really can be a piece of shit. I don't understand what's the point in even paying them when it doesn't work half of the time.
Anyhow, I took a shower and came into work so I could spend some quality quiet time downstairs at my now old and very empty desk until it's time for me to pick Mel up from work. Yesterday I was crazy busy running upstairs and downstairs dragging this enormous cart that was carrying all of my shit that I've been storing away in my desk for months. I tell ya, stuff really does collect fast. It took me three trips until I was sure that I hadn't left anything else behind. I never knew that I had so much crap either lying about at work. I would show you a picture of my new digs but unfortunately cameras aren't allowed upstairs. It's kind of cute actually and I really like it. Who would have thought that a cubicle would be so comfy? I also discovered that I have a closet right next to me that nobody has claimed, so of course I had to hide a lot of my extra junk that wouldn't fit in any of the drawers. Finders, keepers. That's my motto.
I also learned yesterday that there has been a lot of miscommunication running around upstairs and it turns out that I won't be able to do the part time Help Desk gig and the admin gig. I'm going to have to choose between the two, and I'm surprised to find that I'm actually struggling with what I'd prefer to do. I'm going to be on a two week "trial run" starting Monday with the Help Desk, and afterwards I can tell SuperAdmin if I'm going to stick with her and our admin crowd or if I'm going to take a different route.
I'm not even going to really be there for my two week trial run anyway since I've taken this coming Tuesday off and the Friday and Monday at Easter weekend. I'm pretty sure I'll have to write up another pro and con list and really think which one I'll be happier doing. Of course money will have to be talked about and that in itself may be the deciding factor.
Who knows. I'm trying not to think about it right now. At the moment I'm just tired and really looking forward to when we head on down to North Carolina. It's only for four days, I know, but if I add it all up correctly, I don't think I've been to North Carolina in almost two years. Almost. It'll be good to see family and hang out where the days seem to linger on longer and everything is so simple. I won't have to worry about other people's problems and figuring out a way to make them happy. For those four days it's just Momma, Mel and me hanging out.
I suppose for the time being though, I'll just hang out down here, in my element, and waste the time just like how I used to do in the (not so) good old days and say a proper farewell to the desk that I've had such a love/hate relationship with. No longer will it be the black hole that consumes all of my energy and causes so much frustration. It's just a desk now.
