Busy Much?

The past few weeks have blown by in the blink of an eye. I’ve been super busy lately.
Deadlines, meetings, and other events.

I think tonight was the first night since I got my laptop that I haven’t lugged my laptop home to do some work. The past week has been so crazy. So it’s nice to get a little break - even if it’s only for 1 night.

But as you can see… I’m still on the computer.

I’m not sure if I can completely unplug.

And speaking of the “virtual leash” - crackberry much?

I swear, I can feel the phantom ringing on my belt all the time!

What, no internets????

I got home from work tonight, and I plopped my ass down in my usual place on the couch. I took out my laptop to get some work done, and started booting it up.

I turned on the tv and flipped through my pre-recorded shows. I’ll save Hardball and Attack of the Show for later. What’s on live tv?

Ah… South Park. Ha… this episode is pretty funny. The entire country has no internet!

My computer comes on and I log in. So I check my work email.

I’m waiting… and waiting… and waiting… what the hell?

I do all the usual motions of reconnecting to the router, checking all the cables on the router and modem, everything!

So I went to my last resort. I called the cable company.

Ahhh… it’s not on my end. The prerecorded voice comes on and says there’s an outtage in my neighborhood and techs have been sent. THANK GOD!

As the characters on South Park were starting to go crazy without the internet, I was too!

I’m sitting there calling the cable company again to make sure it’s still out. I was watching the clock seeing how long I could wait to try my browser again.

How am I going to check my work email??? How am I going to do any work tonight (even though I’ve worked each of the last 5 nights after a full day at work as well)? How am I going to look up some guitar music for “band night” tomorrow? What the hell am I going to do?

In a small way I was starting to worry. Ok, so I didn’t travel to Californie… Silicon Valley that is like Stan and his family, but it still sucked none the less.

I admit it, I’m an internet junkie.

More Changes

It’s Friday morning, and it should be a day off for us.  It’s scheduled off, but like many previous Fridays I’m just so damn busy that I can’t afford to take it off.  At least I get paid overtime for it!

Another reason I have to go to work in a bit is because on Monday I got a promotion.  I am now the marketing manager in my office.  With an office of about 115 people, they tend to keep us rather busy.

This week has been daily 12 hour work days and more night time work.  Luckily we’re looking to hire someone to fill my position somewhat quickly.  That should make my job much easier.

At least it’s Friday!  I will probably have to do some work over the weekend, but at least it’s almost the weekend. Today should be an easy day.  Alright, time to go to work and catch my conference call and start moving into my new office! :n)
