anam_moonComputer at home still no work-ie. Pout. So here I am in the library at Ohlone getting a bit of an internet fix before heading home. We had another power outage in Fremont yesterday for a little over an hour. Not a lot going on, trying to get work done on my final project for my Critical Thinking course, we're having a Focus Group on Friday before I have to go to work. I need to try calling my assistant manager, Kim to tell her that I can't work my regular shift on Friday the tenth, I think it would be bad to not be there for the final. Mr. Peeters was ever so kind and made our Group Presentation project our Final.
With any luck my home computer will be up and running soon. There seems to be some debate about what is actually wrong with it- Heather's roommate's boyfriend originally thought it was the hard-drive, but after describing the problem to my friend, Kyla her boyfriend thinks it sounds like the real problem is the motherboard. Sigh. Don't know, we shall see.
I've gotten a bit of my Xmas shopping done, not nearly as much as I would like though. I was much further along by this point last year. I think I'm probably doing a large portion of that shopping at B&N again, y'know, discount and all. I love my discount. Esp. since the company is trying to show they appreciate us employees by giving us an additional 10 % discount from the 3-12. Employee Appreciation Days. Yeah, appreciate encouraging us to spend more money there, but hey I won't knock it. I was probably going to buy most of my stuff there anyway so I don't mind saving more. =) Saving money is good.
Things are more or less okay, saw several friends recently. My friend, Brisa and her boyfriend/significant other/whatever you want to call it cause boyfriend sounds somewhat juvenile, Scott stopped by my store on Friday. We hadn't seen each other in months and then my mother and I saw her at Red Robin on Monday. When she was our server at Red Robin she confirmed what Scott had told me- she's about a month pregnant. Their baby is going to be soooo beautiful! My cousin, Sean (who got married this summer) and his new wife, Megan just announced that they're about a month pregnant as well. My grandparents are going to be great-grandparents at last! I'm sure my Grandfather will have a grand time reminding us of that. I'm not sure whether this will make me feel less like I have to hurry up and provide them with great-grandchildren or more so.
My friend, Kyla stopped by the store on Sunday and I visited with her for a bit while I was supposed to be doing reading from the "bookseller learning library" at work. Oh well, it wasn't very informative for someone who has been there over five years anyway. It was an entire manual on hints on where/how to look for different subjects and sections in my store. I sort of skimmed it and told Kim I had read it. Well, she was only asking that I skim it anyway and I did that, more or less.
I hope everyone is doing well. Take care!
