Yesterday's truck was 170 pieces. I am noticing an upward trend. I also had half an hour less to put it away. Lemme tell you, I humped it. So, usually, they put me on something easy after doing truck, but not yesterday. We were so short staffed. I had to be on drive thru grill. It really is too difficult (and probably too dry) to explain, so let me just say, it's very hard work, non stop. I was so sore and out of whack when I got off of work I was set to beg John to crack my back. Well, he cracked it and massaged out the lower back (lifting muscles for me) and I fell asleep for a little bit after it.
After guacamole, we went to the thrift store. We found a new keyboard for me, in which the spring is still active in the letters, and the letters are still on the keys. Mine was so worn it was pathetic. I also got a new monitor for 20 bucks! It's 17 inches and as far as I can tell, perfect.... just used. John's monitor blew last week, so he's using mine until he purchases his this weekend. My old monitor, the contrast was broken and it was really too dark. I had a hard time seeing pictures that might be darker than others, and details in pics were hard to see too.
So, now I need to get my computer wiped and all the software reinstalled on it because it is not supposed to be a slow computer... but I did a scan for hijackers and other such nasties and found fifty eight of them. Did a little work on it, and still had five left. And they are hidden files. But it runs a little better now. The process begins of going through my files, determining what I want to keep and then saving it.
I am also going to get a cd burner. My disc drive has been broke for some time. It refuses to eject no matter what trick you use. (cursing at it doesn't work either.) And probably more memory. My computer just won't know what to do with itself.
On the up side of this... I found my David Pirner mp3's on my computer. Rock on.
I think that I dreamed I was in NYC last night. But I can't remember enough of my dream.
It's friday, and I am soooooooooooooo happy. It's my 11a.m. to 4 p.m. shift. Which is just blissful for me. I might go watch Greg play tonight.... I might not.
I am reeeeeally close to finishing a project that I've been working on *forever* (at least on the mental plane)
gotta run, things to do
