My head is all full of thoughts today, none of which have anything to do with the work I'll be paid to be doing in (checks) 18 minutes.
Some are sort-of fannish. Some are weekend-related. Some are around the various things I should be accomplishing in my leisure hours (but am not). Some are about today's drive to work. I don't think I'll talk about any of them, though. They're not particularly interesting to anyone but me.
Sigh.
I'm jonesing today. I need a fandom fix and I need it bad. I have a very specific want but I can't go look for it because I'm at work. (It's dangerous to surf naughty topics at the office.)
And yet, surfing is torture at home until I get the wireless network fixed (riding on someone else's open network is okay, but slo-o-o-w), so I can't even tell myself I can find it tonight.
Maybe I could sweet-talk the R.C. into using the laptop if she wants to do anything computer-related. I can find what I want, dump it on the flash drive, and put it on the laptop to be enjoyed at my leisure. I can't believe I had that flash drive for almost a year before I figured out what it was and what I could do with it. I embarrass me sometimes.
*snicker*
Can't tell you how much I wish I hadn't had the habit of having my friends list up in a background tab at work before I figured out that the head of IT really is reading all the email and being nosy on everybody's computer. *sigh* Like he doesn't have enough to do trying to, oh, set up the network so it actually works. Fucker.
But enough about me. *g* Looking forward to tomorrow. :)

And once I was writing a story and forgot to password-protect the file. When the announced they'd done a tape backup of everyone's computer, I almost committed hari-kari!
I think they should be grateful we show up at all and not spy on what we're doing online. snif

*pauses to let that sink in*
Yes, that's the kind of environment I have to work in. Is it any wonder I'm nearly homicidal by the end of the day?
I'm a multi-tasker. I have to be able to do about thirty things at once in order to get any of them done. Especially when the actual work is boring as hell. *sigh*
