Adventures in Boredom
Today has been the typical boring day here at the office......not really too much going on, the occasional bursts of work, but for the most part just sitting at my desk, staring at my computer, and hoping it said 5:15 on the clock. Grrr.....
Today started off bad. Apparently this morning half of Dallas forgot how to drive. It's not like it changed or like there was construction or anything like that. Oh no, it was just a general mishmosh of driving inability! Therefore, making me cranky and later than I wanted to be for work. Screw the one hour lunch rule today - I took 45 minutes and as such I will still leave by 5:15. So take that!
Then as I'm finally settling into my desk, I realize that the construction (not sure if it was above, next to us, or behind us because it comes from all over now) had begun and we got to listen to lovely drilling & banging noises. Luckily that stopped! But I have a feeling this is going to be a long few weeks/months while they do all this work. Blah!
Enough of my negative attitude! This afternoon I decided to bid on a cheap ring on Ebay and won so that was exciting. No shipping fees and I only paid 14.95 and it's worth 70+. Or so they say....hopefully it won't look tacky when it shows up and if it does I'll wear it a few times for fun and have my money's worth. :) The golf bag is on its way too which is exciting and it should get here on Wednesday according to UPS. So next week I have a few things to look forward to.
No big plans for this weekend. Actually no real plans whatsoever which I guess is good because we REALLY need to finish unpacking the rest of the wedding gifts and what's left of our clothes and such from moving. I know that's pathetic but once you get the necessities unpacked, it's hard to get motivated to work on the rest. I do however need to seriously look this weekend for my dance shoes & knee brace as well as a jacket I want to wear next week so I've got to do some unpacking in order to get all that accomplished before Sunday night is over.
Other than that, not much to report. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Appreciate each day/moment that you have with your loved ones because you never know what might happen. Today's world is scarier than we want it to be.....be careful! See you on Monday! :)

hey mel. sad for you that today has been so boring. if i were at qscl, i'd much rather be bored than actually doing work. because that would require communicating with one of the horrids, and that in turn would require my brain to explode from frustration.
fun that you won a ring. what does it look like?
While it's true that being bored is better than communicating with one of the horrids, boredom really starts to catch up with you when it's on a consistent never-ending basis. Especially for someone like me that would much rather be busy and challenged than bored and potato-like. Oh well!
The ring that I got is blue sapphire with two lab diamonds on either side in a silver setting. :)
