Had a nice birthday dinner today for my grandpa and then my entire family went to see Julie and Julia.  Isn’t it weird how a movie can seem so innocent right up until your family is watching it with you?  Every curse word or totally benign sex scene seemed about 100 times worse.  Anyway, still a pretty good movie but I don’t know if it would hold up well to a third viewing.

Nope.

I’m going to sleep tonight at like 8:30. This has been a long week.

Maybe tomorrow.

Too tired.

Watched Harry Potter tonight. It was not nearly as good as I wanted it to be. I have a house guest this week so my posting will probably not be too exciting until next week.

Too tired to post tonight. More later.

Had some bad news/good news about my job today. I’ll know more tomorrow. I think it was really mostly good news because I feel like a weight has been lifted and now I’m just sleepy.

I’ll post more about what’s up when I know more but it’s time for a new, killer portfolio makeover. For now, even though SYTYCD will be on soon, I’m going to bed.

College Station tomorrow! Chris Young!

7:15 AM - Arrived a little later than usual. The key fob for my alarm is running out of batteries and as I walked down the parking garage stairs, it let out a sad “beep, beep, beeeeeeeeeeeeeee….”

7:18 AM - I gave up coffee on Monday. I want to die.

7:25 AM - Co-worker V was already here this morning. She has coffee. I hate her.

7:47 AM - I have my headphones in. Nothing is playing in them.

7:50 AM - Co-worker C is here today. Y’all, I could start a whole blog just about C. But I don’t want to get fired so let me just describe him by saying: uggggggggggh.

8:01 AM - Decided to play Don’t Stop Believin’ by the Glee cast to get me pumped for the day ahead.

8:08 AM - Now listening to Kris Allen sing Falling Slowly. I wish I cared more that he won. Or about Idol in general. So You Think You Can Dance for the win!

8:10 AM - Commenting my code with actual useful comments for once.

8:18 AM - Just told my mom on AIM that I had to donate money to three baby shower gift card funds here at work and she responded with “DON’T DRINK THE WATER.”

8:25 AM - Oh God. It’s C’s birthday. On a day without coffee. What did I ever do to anyone?

8:32 AM - OMFG. And he is getting married?! My torment is unending.

8:41 AM - A junior high choir just called and sang Happy Birthday to C. He is telling everyone.

9:05 AM - And I mean everyone.

9:08 AM - I’m hungry. Just tried to steal a dollar from our “late for meetings fine fund” to get chips from the machine. The machine said “Use correct change.” Screw you machine.

9:15 AM - Animating some snow for V while answering her CSS questions. Firebug on one monitor, Flash on the other.

9:47 AM - Animation complete.

10:22 AM - Just sent my vacation days off to my boss. Seattle!

10:35 AM - Someone just wished C a happy birthday. He responded by telling them about the choir.

10:37 AM - My whole head hurts.

10:43 AM - Working on some mockups in Photoshop. My computer is straining.

10:51 AM - Co-worker A is sooooo loud. I can hear her down the hall…with my headphones in.

10:58 AM - Starting to get feedback on my last app. Let the bug-fixing begin!

11:40 AM - There is a discussion being lead by my pregnant boss about how everyone is pregnant right now because of Ike. She is loud.

11:42 AM - Time to go to Pappadeaux for the third baby shower in the last three weeks. Maybe she’ll name her baby Ike.

1:20 PM - Had crawfish and catfish. Yum.

1:40 PM - The serial killer just walked by!

1:42 PM - Off to fourth floor for a quick meeting about some logo designs. I hate switching my mindset from Flash to Photoshop.

2:00 PM - Ran into some old team members. Got the good gossip. Apparently I’m the least observant person ever. When I mentioned that I hadn’t seen another team member in awhile, I was told they were fired over a year ago. Oops.

2:14 PM - Was just asked to work CSS miracles. Now I have to switch from Photoshop to CSS. Also, no I can’t do what you are asking.

2:21 PM - I don’t know if you’ve heard but…it’s C’s birthday.

2:44 PM - I have to call a lady and tell her how to do something in PowerPoint. I’ve decided to email her instead.

3:17 PM - I have pretty much stopped all semblance of working. Instead, I am throwing a ball in the air. I catch it about 3/5 of the time.

3:20 PM - If I had a nickel for every time someone has joked to me that the missing people on the Air France flight are on the Lost island, I’d have three nickels.

3:25 PM - I had pretty much caved on buying Sims 3 but have now decided to wait until I get paid.

3:27 PM - Can you die from not having any caffeine?

3:35 PM - Booooooored.

3:49 PM - Just answered an email about Donkey Kong.

3:53 PM - Working on the PowerPoint problem. Had to shift from throwing the ball in the air to PowerPoint.

4:00 PM - I’m out!

Last night of work for awhile. Thank God. Just have to finish a set of mockups tonight for a project kickoff tomorrow. I’m exhausted.
