And now for something completely different

We have a day scheduled for Shadowrun! GLEE! Requested the time off from Borders (still waiting to hear back on that). Need to request it off from Booth. It's going to wind up with a week of vacation for me, which is something I really really need.

satyr_mi has a pseudo cold. :( It's just a cough and an annoying inability to sleep at the moment. No sniffles. And if he's laying down the cough seems to go away for a bit. Going to nab some cough syrup on my way home from work tonight. Also need to nab some groceries (milk, cheese, soda, mayo, orange juice) to get us through the week. We've got plenty of everything else right now.

The big changes in our department are starting. My now sorta former Supervisor spends most of her time down where the Corporate Support people live, our new Supervisor has moved over from accross the hall into one of our old tech's cubes, and our big page of daily stats has morphed to include the totals from all three help desks. Gotta love the abandonment rates on calls when one of our main corporate servers goes down the tubes and takes two days to get back up. But it's all better now.

There are people in our area measuring things. Sorta a "figure how much space we're using and need" kind of thing. See, we've been set up as basically three help desks, two of which lived in the same area. The third, which supports the home office and some remote corporate users, lives in another area. Ideally, we will all wind up in one area together. It would make all of our jobs a lot easier simply based on how the department is now supposed to be set up. This isn't going to happen for at least a few months, though, so not a big deal yet.

I'm actually very very excited about all of this. Yes it could mean more work for me during the day, but it's also more opportunity to learn new systems. Especially since we have some more current technology at work in the home office than we do in most of the stores. Some stores have shiny new things, but we're really sorta flying blind with it because many of us are just learning the tricks of the OS (XP) for them that we've had years to learn with 98. I'm a fast learner. It'll all be good.

I spent a couple weeks watching all of Buffy season 3 and then started on season 4. Didn't finish season 4. I just couldn't get through the more Riley centered episodes just after Adam appears. There are some incredibly excellent episodes in there, it's just tough to work through some of the bad episodes. At some point I need to go through season 1 and season 2 again. I still need to get seasons 4 and 5 of Angel, too. And season 2 of Dead Like Me when it comes out. So annoyed that that got cancelled.

Well, work is getting pretty busy, so I shall get back to it since this sat for an hour and a half before I could finish it. :-p

Oh, yeah, level 14 with Hidden Justice on Virtue in CoH. I couldn't pass it up entirely, now could I?
