*I urgently needed a few days off work,but I knew the Boss would not allow me to take leave. I thought that maybe if I acted "Crazy" he would tell me to take a few days off.
So, I hung upside-down on the ceiling and made funny noises.
My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I was doing. I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb, so that the Boss might think I was "Crazy" and give me a few days off.
A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked,
"What in the name of good GOD are you doing?"
I told him I was a light bulb.
He said, "You are clearly stressed out." Go home and recuperate for a
couple of days."
I jumped down and walked out of the office...
When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me, the Boss asked her,
"..And where do you think you're going?!"
(You're gonna love this...)
She said, "I'm going home, too. You can't possibly expect me to work
in the dark!"*

ok, not exactly what happened, but I am taking an extra day off work this week due to too much stress there. And my supervisor is *great* because she said yes when I asked!!! But this story is funny, and time-appropriate. LOL YOU ARE WELCOME HERE :) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- oh yeah, my last doctor visit for my sprained ankle resulted in my official 'release', meaning I don't need to return to the doc unless the pain persists for another month or so. The pain comes and goes, and it seems to be more present with rainy weather. Uh Oh, one of those weather-predicting injuries LOL .

I just ordered my (custom) 13" MacBook in White, with add'l memory & hard drive. It comes installed with iWork '08 and iLife '08. The Leopard will ship separately, but I guess that's ok. I'm reluctant to part with my beloved iBook G4 Rista, but I know my replacement Mac will give me lots of reliability, just as my Rista did for 2 solid years. Luna, as I've already named my new Mac, will have a glossy-display screen (the matte displays are only avail on the MacBook Pro). The matte display provides a truer color to the color palatte, but the glossy display has a crisper image, such as when viewing pictures and videos. I don't touch the display very often (at least I don't think I do, but maybe the matte display hides all my fingerprints); but if I do touch the display, I'll need to wipe it clean more often. I guess I can deal with that. I've been anticipating the release of Leopard, with its 300 improvements, since last year. I've saved the $$ for a while now, earning interest in the bank as I waited. So finally, after much waiting & patience, it's nearly here. Luna will be delivered with the following configuration: Processor 065-7304 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Memory 065-7307 2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB Hard Drive 065-7312 160GB Serial ATA @ 5400 rpm Optical Drive 065-7315 Superdrive 8x Apple Software Solutions 065-7553 iWork '08 Preinstalled Keyboard/Mac OS Language 065-7324 Keyboard/Mac OS Country Kit/AEX 065-7330 Country Kit YAY for me... and for my anticipation of my new mac =) As you can see, I am feeling better than the past coupla days. ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- ------------------------ ------ ----- -------- -------- ------ ---- ------ -------- ------------ --------------------

I'll put this in list format::: 1. I feel very content. 2. MacBook. So I received my MacBook, which will replace my beloved iBook G4. The transfer of files, documents, pictures, settings, etc. took just more than an hour (usually it would take days to do all of that!); this time it was so fast because with Apples you can connect a FireWire to both and click a couple buttons, and it's doing all the transfers for me. While I sit back and watch some Cartoon Network. This computer is even better than my iBook. My iBook was great, absolutely no problems with it, but every two years I upgrade my computer. The iBook didn't have additional memory on it (not that it needed it, cuz it's still speedy after 2 years-- unlike the unreliable -my opinion- PC's). But macs are so solid and stable, I may be able to extend that time period, before I replace this one. The new Leopard operating system gets released today!!! Mine is in the mail, shold be here by next week. YAY!!! 3. ankle. My ankle healing is making progress, the pain is minimal, but some times I feel it more than others. I'm still going lighter than normal on it, such as, •still• no sk8boarding. I miss sk8ing!!! But I want a good, complete, healthy healing process first, before I jeopardize that by wanting to joy ride on my board. I gotta say that I've been very good and patient. 4. work. David Bowie's song "Changes" playing in background for this one::: There have been numerous changes at work. Staff departures, shifts, and additions. As we've learned, change is a constant, so it just takes some adapting. We're strong and we can do it. 5. election season. This is the time of year when I get all these annoying political sponsored telephone interruptions for campaigners. Thank god for caller-ID, if it's not a name or number I recognize, my answering machine gets to do its work. I guess that's the price to pay of being a registered voter. A week-and-a-half is Election Day, so I'm sure in the upcoming week I'll be receiving even more anoying calls by candidates I don't want to hear from. Are you registered to vote? 6. october 2005, october 2006. In October 2005 Hurricane Wilma passed through this region with damaging winds. I made it through that. October 2006 my ceiling collapsed due to inept repair being done. I survived that traumatic ordeal as well. October 2007. Making it through the limited mobility of a serious ankle sprain. I know I'll make it through this, too. 7. rainy day. Looks like today is going to be a rainy day. YAY--- I have the day off, so I can sit back and enjoy the rain dripping through the green trees and shrubs.
