Someone shoot me, please. I’m getting seriously sleepy now. The work I’m doing right now is soooo fucking tedious. It’s painfully boring. Even with NIN playing I’m falling asleep. I’m having to type out every name and extension in the phone directory. See, right now the directory is only searcheable by last name. I’m adding new entries so it’s searcheable by first name and by phone extension, to do this I have to type every name first then last into a footnote next to the footnote with it last then first. Then I type the extension. Sadly it’s not something I can create a spiffy little macro for. I just have to type type type and it’s making me want to sleep sleep sleep.

We’re trying to plan out the rest of our vacation for the year. We’re thinking about taking december 1st & 2nd then the 15th-19th. We’re not going anywhere, just hanging around the house. I e-mailed my boss about it over an hour ago and she hasn’t written back yet. I don’t know if hubby has had a chance to talk to his boss either but we’ll see.

*sigh* I don’t know about anyone else but this week has gone by really slow for me. It’s been brutal. It’s been an exceptionally boring week.

I’ve got to get on rehearsing some of my music. I want to make new CD’s for everyone as holiday presents. I never know what to buy for people so I like to stick to personal/handmade things for the most part. My flute playing is one thing my whole family was always interested in so those cd’s make great gifts. If I can ever get the hang of cross-stitching I’m going to cross-stitch some stuff but I haven’t had any luck with that so far, I suck at cross-stitch. I’ve never really been one for crafts, I try.

I’m hungry. *looks around* *eats chocolate* Lets see what they’re serving in the crappy cafeteria today. Hmm, they’re serving Chinese on their what they call the “International Table”. It’s a little mini buffet thing. I generally like Chinese food, although the cafeteria always manages to only pick the stuff I don’t like for their buffet. It never fails, I swear I’m cursed.

Speaking of cursed there is one elevator out of the 4 that serve our floor that is extremely creaky and jerky. It never fails that the ONE crappy elevator is the one that ALWAYS stops for me. I usually stand in there listening to it creak hoping that I won’t die. It freaks me out, I don’t like elevators to begin with, they terrify me. You wouldn’t know it though, that’s a fear I hide well. I’m the type of person that is relieved when I don’t have to be on the elevator alone. As long as I’m with someone else I’m generally okay, at least I know if I get stuck in it I won’t be stuck all alone. I’m not claustrophobic or anything like that, I just fear the elevator getting stuck or falling or something. I had it happen once. I was in an elevator in a hotel, me and about 4 of my friends were in an elevator. I was at a convention and some idiot set off the fire alarm because he thought it would be funny. When the alarm went off our elevator halted. Then it dropped a few feet and came to a quick stop again, the doors opened but we were between floors. A few seconds later the doors closed and the elevator went back to our floor, the doors opened and we got out. I haven’t felt the same about elevators since. I remember as a kid my mom was always afraid of elevators. She’s claustrophobic though, she’s afraid that the elevator will get stuck and she’ll run out of oxygen. I just fear being dropped unwillingly to my death. 🙂

Anyway, I’m rambling on and I really shouldn’t be, I should be working.

I’m feeling more awake now so I’m going to go back to my tedious crap work.
