9 in the A.M

Morning all,

I find myself sitting at my work desk again this morning without much to do. I love my new job, I really do, but I don’t really have anything to do today. In fact today quickly becoming a shadow of yesterday. I arrive at 8am and immediately begin checking my daily reads across the internet. That normally takes anywhere from 30-40 min before I feel like I’ve caughup with the ‘happenings’ going around online. After that I’ll go fill up my water bottle, sometimes walk out to the lobby to get a drink from the water fountain just to get the blood flowin…. Then I might read some of my computer books, but as you can imagine, regardless how much you enjoy computers, a book about the Microsoft Exchange Server will put you to sleep early in the morning. Regardless, I come back to my desk and hit the “send and receive” button on my Microsoft Outlook inbox, hoping a new e-mail has arrived with something to do. That is normally not the case, which is really too bad because I’d like to be walking around the office fixing computers, or working on stuff like that. I’m complaining about not doing anything, so obviously it’s not the most terrible thing in the world or anything, the problem is that I enjoy working on computers; it makes the time pass much faster. As the day progresses people will start to come online, Erik is usually always on gtalk which is nice, but I’m sure he is much busier than I so he may not always be able to talk. With any luck though my phone will ring, and some confused senior will need me to show them how to add a contact to their e-mail address book.

I’m sure a few months are going to go by and I’m gonna be missing days like today.

Besides work everything is going pretty good, been playing a lot of video games lately! I say that like it’s new news, but honestly I’ve gotten a chance to really play some stuff I never have before. I spent last month really playing Metal Gear Solid 1 which II really enjoyed, Solid Snake might be the best man in the world. I’ve also started playing Ico with Amber, which is really amazing. It’s nice to play these old games and know it’s one more title I can scratch off my “OMGZ YOU HAVENT PLAYED THAT?!” list. I’ve spent my free time this week playing FFXII, my favorite addition to the series in sometime. Other than that not much is going on, Me and Amber watch the first Indiana Jones last night so we can prepare for the newest installment on Friday!!

A-Kon is coming up, I thought I would remind everyone to ask off for work if you need to, and start growing out that facial hair because next Thursday I’m shaving my beard and only leaving behind the potato. I better see many fellow potatoes walking out that door Thursday afternoon right before we head to Dallas. Do it for Potato Man, what would he do.

WWPMD?
