My Christmas tree is pathetic.  It was just a $25 prelit tree so you can imagine that even when it was new out of the box it wasn't the most wonderful creation.  But now the lights in the middle aren't working.  There is a huge gap in the middle and the bottom also bare and horrible.  I am going to just say to heck with it and decorate it anyway.  Hopefully the decorations will distract from the problems.

I haven't been on the computer much because my computer keeps crashing.  I hate to spend time writing something and then have the computer die on me before I can post it.  I do have internet back on at home but now I have this computer issue.  I have anti-virus software which I update regularly.  I don't know what the problem is.  I'm thinking that I need to slick the whole works.  I do have a fabulous new computer screen so I no longer have the funhouse mirror warped sides effect that I've had going on for a while. 

My work has blocked our internet access to most everything.  Since we are slow they don't want people wasting time on the internet.  I guess they pay the bills so they get to decide but blocking news sites?  I can understand blocking myspace and youtube but I think it's a bit extreme blocking news sites.  The new internet block have also blocked the company directory so the two hours a day that I am on the phone, I am mostly connecting employees instead of answering customer calls.  Crazy.  I talked to my manager and hopefully it will be fixed Monday.

The good thing is that I have a new job that I am learning so I am now very busy at work.  It is kind of confusing to me but I will keep on until I get it figured out.  I just will have to ask a lot of questions in the meantime.  I was having to pray daily on the way to work that I have enough work to keep me busy the whole day.  I am not very good at milking work and I hate not having something to do.  Especially when there have already been many layoffs at my company.  Sitting on your hands is not encouraged. 

I think I am getting more and more wussy in my old age.  I tried to watch the new batman last night and it was just too intense and disturbing for me.  I haven't completely been desensitized.  This isn't even a traditionally "scary"  movie.  I don't even try to watch them anymore.  I am just too sensitive to watch those things.

Okay I'm posting before I lose this. Oh I almost forgot to tell you that I got to see the space shuttle landing and taking off from JRB in Fort Worth this week.  That was exciting.  It was like a fire drill getting out of the office for a few minutes.  Now whenever I need a break I'm just going to tell them that I am going to oustide to look at the space shuttle - lolz.  Like that would work.  We could see it standing in our parking lot.  When it arrived it was really close.  I didn't get any pictures but I did get to see it.  When it left it was just a speck but I still saw it.  Pretty cool, huh?
