I did not want to get out of bed this morning

[cornerofmadness]

I've been waking up very tired with a sore jaw (i.e been grinding my damn teeth all night). I contemplated staying there but there was far too much to do. I called the parents to tell Dad to get down here and do my dishes and/or laundry, his pick.

His response? - See, SHE knows I do everything around here

Mom and my response? - It's a joke since the only time we've ever seen him do either is when Mom had her knees replaced and that one time when I was 6 and she had her hysterectomy and I still have stories about THAT.

I had asked Mom last night if she had a status update on my computer. I'm worried they'll leave it on my porch and someone else will have it. As she goes to look on line I go out to put laundry in the car and fall over the new computer. Sure enough they put it on the porch and didn't bother to knock or anything. UPS is staffed with Dipshits.

So YAY I have a new computer. Is it up and running? Hell no. I was too busy today to do that (must get test done). I might be too busy tomorrow for that matter. But it's here. The box is torn on one side (again UPS, have you EVER delivered me anything you didn't tear the hell up?) And after years of naming these things after men and them dying within 2-3 years, I'm naming this one after a lady, maybe Riza.

Sadly I won't have time to put Dragon on it before nano ends. From what I've read there's a learning curve. I don't want to deal with that right now.

On the other hand, I made progress today, I also have half a lecture done and half a test written and I even won a book in a contest so WHEE

ETA - I forgot to mention we felt that earthquake on the KY/TN border here today. No damage (I missed it. I was in my car and didn't notice)

19086 / 50000 words. 38% done!

Yay to winning the book contest, getting your computer, laughing at Dad, getting work done. Yay.

I needed to get more work done but happy with accomplishing what i have.

points to my eta

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

hahaha, you always miss the earthquakes.

Yeah, I don't blame you for being happy with what you've done so far.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. disappointing. (I shouldn't say that. It'll tempt fate)

I want to do MORE

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Try not to tempt fate, okay?

You're doing LOTS.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

trying

not enough!

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Crazy type A+++ personality.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

YOu don't have Monday off? Or are you doing work including having Monday off?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I do not have monday off.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I do, but it's nothing special, just Monday off.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That's pretty cool.

Yay for getting new computer! Totally name it Riza. :3 My laptop I use Hawkeye as the second part of its name. XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Does it have Windows 8? I've heard that does take quite a bit of getting used to... One of my computer geek buds (that worked at HP for 8 years) had trouble with hers. Nuff said.

And UPS does us the same way... And I have yet to meet a driver that is actually NICE.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i can't remember what i ordered. I have it at work and it's grusome

no kidding. at least he put it against the door I guess

[winters-queen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I heard the same about Dragon. You need to teach it your speech patterns and all that.

Wow, your UPS really is stupid. Whenever we get packages from either regular mail or UPS they ring the bell.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah something I don't want to learn how to do in the middle of nano. also i think you have to tell it paragraph, period comma etc

oh they are totally stupid
