I’m not a big fan of the holidays anymore. Christmas gets stressful with the present buying and travel and New Year’s seems arbitrary and wildly anti-climatic. I dunno, maybe I’m just getting old and cynical. And Christmas music? Ugh. Most of what I’ve heard recently is either ancient and dated – or it’s more modern but cloying. <\/p>\n

I used to enjoy it. Used to be the “bees knees”. Now, it just makes me tired. Or it could be that I’ve got some kind of SAD or something. <\/p>\n

In other news… my room-mate was trying to hang up Christmas lights yesterday evening – in the dark and in the rain. Suddenly, all the outlets in the garage where he had these plugged in went out. Lights, radio, etc. We checked the breakers and didn’t see any correctly marked or blown. I suggested it might be related to the fact that he was standing a puddle of water and the cords were wet -but my suggestions were dismissed. <\/p>\n

Note to self – you should get current on your CPR training again. <\/p>\n

Not sure why that comes to mind. Maybe seeing someone standing in a puddle of water trying to hang up very fragile lights – with an extension cord in the water as well. Eh, guess I’m just being silly.<\/p>\n

I called about the broken computer yesterday. This is the 5th working day that they’ve had it – I’m hoping to get a real answer today. It also irks me just a wee little bit that I didn’t get bumped up in the workflow. We are in the same division and I would have done the same for them.
Eh, not really fair I guess. Student computer issues should rightly come first over staff. Still, I’d really like to get moving toward some kind of solution.<\/p>\n

Label this post as Cranky… guess that’s all I’ve got for now…<\/p>\n
