spiffy!

Helloooo ladies and gents out their in the interwebs.  I am now broadcasting from my spiffy new desktop computer!!!  Yay!!  I am in the slow (and laborious) process of moving files from my laptop and after that will come the cleansing.  I’m not sure yet what I’ll do with my laptop.  It’s not a bad little computer, still has a lot of life left to it considering it’s about 3 years old.  I just don’t like laptops.  The only reason I got the one that I have is because University required it (like so many colleges do these days).

I have to say, I’m REALLY excited about my new ‘puter.  I’m not scrunched over the screen trying to write and read.  I have space to type thanks to the full-size keyboard and a MUCH larger screen.  It’s a Dell XPS which while not "top of the line" these days is more than adequate for my needs.  Once I get her set up that is.  She runs a dual-core i5 which is pretty fast so I’ve been told and should be good to handle my multi-tasking, something that often bogged down my laptop, as she runs on 6GB of operational with 1T of memory (plus my trusty old Western Digital External Hard drive).

Currently downloading and installing Itunes now while the laptop is moving files (my massive 6+GB of music just on my laptop which is not even my full collection!) onto the hard drive.  Once I’ve gotten the hard drive all loaded up I’ll start transferring stuff onto the desktop and making it my own instead of some factory pre-set blah-ness.  

I have texted with Isaac pretty regularly the last couple of days.  He’s sent me some pictures from training.  Not many but a few.  

I really wanted to go out tonight but I thought the computer was slightly more important since there is a lot to do and I don’t know how much time I actually have to get it done.  Not that I’m on a deadline or anything, mostly just, I want to get it DONE and be on just ONE computer lol.  However I’m on day 5 of 12 straight for working.  I’m pulling another double tomorrow only this time at both the pharmacy and the store.  Opening at the store, so 0945 to 1615 then I have to be at the pharmacy at 1700 until 2100 doing the sign-change.  They’ve started this new thing where they (they being corporate) have decided to make a 4 hour shift available on Saturday nights to do strictly sign changes because Saturdays are our end of business week and Sundays start the new sales ads.  Thus we are supposed to have all the signs changed over by the end of Saturday but we can’t start changing the signs until after 4pm.  I volunteered to do it this week because there was no one else available.  One cashier quit already, another is getting ready for surgery, another is getting ready to go on vacation, and our fourth is just starting and not even register trained.  So yeah.  I’ll be pulling a really long day tomorrow and then I told one of the girls that I would head to the bonfire she’s having tomorrow night.  Plus working every day from now until next Saturday, PLUS my aunt is up with the dogs and I have my own family and life to worry about lol.  Oh well.

I have a feeling I might pull an all-nighter (or a long night) and survive off of energy drinks tomorrow.  Simple fact is, I have a new toy and a book I’ve been trying to read that is utterly engrossing even though it’s by far incredibly boring compared to most books on the market.  I’m more than halfway through and there hasn’t been a single character death or incredibly written battle scene.  It’s JUST SO WELL-WRITTEN!!!!!  The characters are … fascinating, captivating, moving!  Ugh, I can’t even describe why I love this book but I do.  I’m so glad it’s the first in a series, I’m just saying.  

Okay, gotta do the install and moving stuff again lol.  YAY!
