Work was MEGA stressful today. Probably the most stressful it's been in months. Yesterday was stressful enough (which was why I had the tiny post) and I was on the phone for almost 4 hours straight. But today, I had to deal with some clients that were having some MAJOR problems, as well as get my consultant reports in, and my expense reports in, and work on several customizations. Not only that, but one of our sales people needed a demo database customized ASAP. To me, that was a low priority, but to a lot of other people, it needed to be done yesterday. So i had to juggle my day around, and a lot of things were left undone. I even took my laptop home to work on it. *sigh* I was so stressed and busy, that they even gave me my own office for the day. I had an awesome view, but couldn't enjoy it because I was working. ACK! It's been so busy, I was going to take Thursday and Friday off, but just decided to take half days so I can get my stuff done before leaving for Portland next week. YUK!
Well, at least I'm going to Vegas for St. Patty's day! Yay! It's for work, but it's good to know that work has its perks every now and then.
Drove to work today, and I made this awesome CD that I was jammin' to all the way home. Missy Elliott's 'Gossip Folks', 112's 'Dance With Me', Faith Evans' 'Love Like This', 50 Cent's 'In da Club' are but a couple tunes on my master mix. I was getting my groove on in the car, and forgot myself and a couple people caught me shaking my thang.
Stopped by the comic book store. I always laugh inside whenever people I don't know are in the store (I'm a somewhat regular, I'd like to think) and are amazed that a GIRL comes into the store and reads comics. Either they'll curiously glance at what books of mine are being rung up, or they'l just come out and say 'I don't know any girls that are into comics. What kind do you like?' Well, let me tell ya, guy, I like a lot of 'em. And that's even AFTER I cut out 5 books from my list! Now the big challenge for me is to actually make some time to READ them. It's been 3 months, and I'm still reading 'The Corrections'! Sleep has taken over my free time during my commute to work. But I'm almost done, so I should be able to get to my comics by next month.
Wow. This is a long post.

Posted by: Lily on February 25, 2003 08:04 PMheh heh... browsing the martial arts section of the bookstore has the same effect. I had one of the most fun dates ever with a guy I met in martial arts!
It was like you described... sidelong glances, checking out the books, and finally he couldn't contain himself any longer: "I never saw a girl in martial arts before!" Keep that in mind, you single ladies. ;)
Posted by: Noelle on February 26, 2003 12:58 PMNot sure what it was about this week period. I know I feel like I'm being pulled in 100 different directions. Guess it's aligned in the stars somewhere.
Posted by: Mona on February 26, 2003 08:16 PMYeah Christine! You're the only female comics geek I ever heard of. Have you heard of a Japanese comic called "Eagle: The Making of an Asian-American President"?
I bought all 5 vols and it's a fine piece of political intrigue. No superheros.
I think you'd be a fine contestant for my new Fox reality show idea, "Jane Computer Idiot"! I mention it on the blog.
