Its not really necessary for me to point out that comments are still not working, that I do not have access to the mt-comments.cgi file I installed on my web page. Its just that I am so frustrated, I feel I have to mention it. Now, I can’t even contact support at cyberpixels. I get a PerlDesk error. Even when I send an email. It has be about 6 days since I reopened my ticket… no one has responded to me. That is not a satisfactory service level, my friends.
Grrrrr…..
So I’m back to work today. After almost two weeks, including those sick days. And I have to say, it’s not all that much fun to be here. Because I really enjoy not working. And I had reverted back to my natural time clock, which is almost completely nocturnal. I only got about 3 hours of sleep last night. What’s needed is an extra reason to come to work. Remember when you were in school, and you had a crush on someone. And just knowing you could walk by their locker and see them gave you reason to go to school? That’s what was needed this morning. That extra reason. But we don’t even have lockers here. And as I remained in bed, unable to convince myself to get up, I asked myself, “what kind of job would you be excited about returning to?” And I figured it out. Apple Pie taste tester. If i tasted apple pies all day, to determine which recipe was best, I would have been very excited to return to work this morning.
I was extremely lazy over my holiday break. I’m sure part of that was due to the sick. I watched a lot of movies. And a lot of tv. Please tell me I am not the only one who gets sucked into tv show marathons. I happen to flip by vh1, when they were showing back to back “I love the 90’s” and I was helpless to move from 1990-1993. After 1993, I did not really move, per se, but the channel moved over to a marathon of my favorite new addiction – Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. Completely captivated, I watched hour after hour, eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and drinking diet sprite. I fell prey to one more marathon, and this one kept me in my pajamas all day yesterday. I tivo’d it. It was a Monk marathon. My new favorite show. I just started watching this show, and it kills me. I love it. I love mystery shows. With quirky detectives. My favorite kind of detective. I was a complete bean bag potato. It’s just not healthy.
Also, I watched the first season of “Oz” over the break. I had tried to watch it once, back when I still had HBO, and I think i came in on some intensely violent scene that intimidated me. I figured if I watched it from the beginning, and saw the violence in context, it would be easier to take. And I was right. What a great show!! Not for the squeamish.
