Random Thoughts

So I finally thought of a few small things that I would blog about, but don't expect anything too exciting. They are going to be sort of typed out as I think of them and are all unrelated! :)

First off, I was EXTREMELY disappointed by how they handled the whole American Idol revote. It was a big waste of my time that they acted like it was a new live show last night when in reality all they really did was replay the show again. Since I don't vote, I don't really care to watch it again, and we flipped channels about three minutes into it when we realized that was how it was going to be.

I heard about this funny little thing called Clockie. I think I need one although it would probably end up getting on my nerves. Basically these guys at MIT came up with an alarm clock that goes off like normal, and if you hit snooze the first time, it will roll itself off the bedside table or wherever you have it and use little wheels to hide itself somewhere away from the bed. I think it would probably freak my cat and dog out, but it would force me to get out of bed instead of continuously hitting snooze. I would probably want to hurt it though after I couldn't find the stupid thing! Who knows, I may end up buying one if they ever go into mass production since I have such issues waking up in the mornings.

Tonight is the premiere of "The Office" on NBC. I'm interested to see how this show is considering it's wide appeal in the UK of the British version, and I think that guy that plays the boss (he was in Bruce Almighty & Anchorman) is really funny. So I'm interested to watch that after a new episode of Apprentice tonight. I've decided I am definitely a TV and movie junkie, not that that should surprise anyone.

In the good news department, I have tomorrow off!!! So I will have three weeks in a row where I only have to work four day weeks. Next week I have off on Friday because we are leaving for California and then the following Monday I have off because we are coming back from California. Needless to say, it will be nice to have the time off tomorrow. I have rented the 2nd Bridget Jones flick from Netflix and plan to watch that with the dog & cat while switching out my winter clothes with my spring/summer clothes in my drawers/dresser as well as trying to clean my closet. I also need to have the apartment people come look at our hot water heater because it is definitely not functioning correctly. I'm looking forward to the long weekend and the vacation next weekend (I can't believe it's only a week away!).

Other than that, I can't think of too much else to report. I'm really enjoying my new job so far and looking forward to getting more involved in the work. It is sort of similar to what I used to do but in a good way so that I don't feel totally clueless as to what I'm doing yet am refreshed by the different subject matter. And the good thing is that here once this specific litigation goes away, they will have something new for us to work on. At the old job, it was asbestos 24-7 with no hope of change unless the legislation passed to end it, and in that case, half of us would have lost our jobs while they scrambled to find something else.

I might blog later today if the mood strikes but if not, enjoy your weekend! :)
