I think this moment sorta sums up my life pretty well :D
UPS truck shows up: Awww yeah, package! *look out window. Notice size of package is freaking huge.* .. bleh. For Jim. *deflates* *goes and rechecks when MoO should get here* *notice it's sent post office instead* *notices delivery date is still today* Aawww yeah, package!
Relatedly: Anyone have any good strategies for dealing with anxiety attached to a specific person/situation? Cause really, I keep having this knee jerk overreaction whenever I see a specific person online and it's REALLY not good for me. @_@ Especially when there's starting to be spill over to things that are kinda related but very much not the same. [and no, sadly, blocking is not an option.]
Also: You never appreciate a nice, fast computer as much as you do after being on a crankbox. *pets Yadonushi* Oooh the work computers. @_@ The laptop is one of those huge brick types, only has 2 USB ports, still has the old style mouse port, floppy drive and weighs a tooon but isn't too bad compared to the desk machine with it's Pentium III (ha) slow chugging 10min to log you in in the morning oh god why does it take forever to load up MSWord, what is it even doing aaaah where did my windows go STOP TRYING TO UPDATE, ADOBE crankbox. I'm not even gonna try running mp3s on that thing, I let the lappy run ITunes now @_@. So very gonna see if I can wangle getting a better box down there over summer. *really hopes to be working with Eric again over summer, oh yes.*
I've started sorta re-creating the "How I do my job" manual I did for 504 cause Phhhht if I know where the files for it went, mebby Anne has them, IDK, cause I realized the "How to do EST" binder that Linda left me is OVERLY SPECIFIC to my position the first month I was there. Which, while helpful then, means it's... kiiiinda not helpful out of that context. It's telling me to go to her drive to click on a short cut to do this thing, doesn't really explain how to get Edline to work etc etc.
So I'm going through and putting together manual pages for how to do stuff. Partly so next year after summer break when I sit down and go "... oh shit, it's been months, how do I do this again?" I can look it up. :D Just the screencaps for the "Processing Student Schedules" is already 6 pages long. ^^;;; Administrator Plus is nice, but oh lordy, they bury crap in menues like you would not believe.
Lessee... what else....
Sennet is baaaack, which is yeaaaaaay and campus is back in session which is also yeaaaay. Life is back to normal so happy! I need to start stalking around campus with the camera and camcorder again once it's spring, and start doing more archiving/video editing stuff. Maybe stalk Paula round for an afternoon. I got a new mini tripod that goes to about 41 inches tall which is pretty neat that I can just shove in a bag and go with. (since, while the full size tripod is awesome, toting it around is kinda not, cause that thing is like.. 4 feet in compact mode. ^^;; And upstairs. I should bring it back down here so I can grab it and go or something. ANYWAY)
... yeah I think that about covers it for now. I'm gonna go play Oblivion now. :D
