Today was actually an extremely busy day at work today by any standards. I spent all morning doing room checks in Durham. We only found one problem but it took a while to diagnose, still hasn't been fixed. Then I went to lunch.....at Sharky's which was a big mistake. We got there at 12:15 and ordered around 21:20. The food didn't come until 1! I didn't feel like listening to Nancy yak at me about it so I asked for a box and the check. Well the box came but the check was messed up. So I left my card there and got Candle to sign it and bring it back with him. I got back at around 1:20. Grrrr very frustrating. Then in the afternoon we went and did room checks at Torgerson. My favorite place. We found problems with the VCR's that I couldn't diagnose. I talked to Sam and Nancy and tried everything I could think of. I even called Ludwig to see if he had any ideas. We decided to just leave it and come back tomorrow and try again. Sam will look at it on Thursday if we still haven't found anything.

Wow that was a lot of whining for one post, I think I'll talk about nice things now. Gwen stopped by the office today, she was riding her bike around town. And.....she dyed her hair. Nothing to radical, it's a bright fuchia(it looks like a dark pink to me but that's what she called it). It actually looks really good on her. It makes her look even more cute than she is naturally. She is really happy with her boyfriend at this point in time. She thought she had been dumped when he didn't say goodbye before leaving on a missions trip for a week. But it turns out his Mom had taken his phone away because he didn't do his chores. LOL

Only three more days before I get to see Kate!! Of course a lot of people are coming back tomorrow and Thursday. Oh that reminds me I need to get a new parking permit. I don't want to think about that because it kind of drives home the fact that I'll probably be working here another year. Oh well. Friday night will be fun with Kate. And on Sunday I have found a cool place that I want to take here. It may have to wait until the next weekend but it will be worth it. I want to see My Fair Lady this Saturday with her and her parents. I think after the wedding I'll want to hang out with people I love and watch some good theatre. I wonder how the box office is doing? I should probably reserve tickets but I have to make sure I don't need to be at home that night.

I have found some great new music to listen to. I bought a U2 CD at target yesterday for $1.24. It's really a nice CD with some rare cuts and a nice remix of Beautiful Day. Beautiful Day is probably my favorite rock song ever. And the whole CD, which is only 7 tracks, is one of the ones that I can put on and let it fade into the background. It kind of made me relax and contemplative. Weird I know, but I drove right past the gas station I meant to stop at lol. And when I went to Crossroads to rent a movie, they were playing a live recording of Brian Setzer Orchestra. It's sort of a mix of swing, jazz, rock and big band. It sounded awesome!! I might get that CD if I can find it for less than $20. It was really really upbeat and energetic. I might not want to play it in the car for fear that I'd drive to fast and get pulled over lol. Well that's all for now. Ciao all.
