Anyway, everyone's pretty swamped up there and they just had a server crash on their end so....arg. Tech problems abound. But that really is to be expected every so often when you're dealing with as large a network as this one and one with as many users, offices, and servers involved. Seems like a crisis to those who don't know it, but to those who do it, it's just an agravation ya know?
Everyone here is so nice though. It's really cool. The lady that works up front supporting this office is a real sweety. She was all impressed at my website and the pictures I took on it. And I stuck up one of my shots here on the machine I'm using (for a newbie employee starting Monday) and got several compliments on it when I said it was mine. They were like, you took that? wow and that made my day. (it's in the May Garden shots if you want it yourself) She made me give her my web address so she could come and check it out herself. Always flattering to get another fan. lol
Stil haven't heard anything on the interview I was on the other day...but then, our cell is off again. (arg) I tried to call her yesterday to check up on the situation, but she didn't answer and I left a message. Of course, this was before I knew the phone was off (because it was on yesterday morning). Arg arg arg. So now, again, it's a mad rush to figure out how we get it back on since I had several people pending to call me about jobs and interviews and now everyone's getting a "we're sorry" message about me being unavailable at this time. Blah. What shitty timing. What sucks is we just paid the bill like a little under two weeks ago, but since we didn't pay it all (just the past due amount) and the fact I think the next bill cycle started, we have a past due again so they turned us off. This game of desperately trying to play catch up and the juggling to keep utilities on is really getting old. Not to mention I'm supposed to have paid my bank $70 today for the remainder of the car loan payment for the month and that's just not going to happen. I had hoped I'd get the check for the logo work I did for Chris a couple weeks ago and that it would cover is (it's a $75 check) but it's not come in yet and now I'm screwed. It's so frustrating you know to be trying and trying and to really think you're finally getting at least something done and then you end up exactly where you were anyway - but with dashed hopes as things fall apart. Bah.
Like these three days here are WONDERFUL but I still had to put out money I didn't have upfront for things like parting (like $10/day), gas ($20 to fill my tank) and food (like $3 a day trying to be as cheap as possible) oh and the $20 ticket I got in the parking garage for being parked there with an expired tag (and another could very well be there today) and I won't get it for another couple weeks...it's like so close to being really great, but at the same time, just another tease you know? Like I need it today, not two weeks from now. By then, any number of remaining things will be turned off like power and we'll be out of food, gas, and such. So very frustrating...
Anyway, that's me getting annoyed for the day. Hope everyone has a great weekend and I hope I get a chance to come online again for real - like from my friend's where I can surf - some day this weekend. If not, sorry, but my net's possibilities are so very limited right now it's hard to plan for anything. Take care.
