Yay, my "new" G4 has arrived safely today and is humming along on a tv cart until I can rearrange my desk this weekend to make it all fit. After I backup all the current software that is installed on it, I'm going to upgrade the OS to X and install Illustrator, InDesign, Quark and my Sims games. WhooHooo! Since I won't be driving this weekend (thanks to A**hole manager), I should have some time to work on it. Now I need an ATI Radeon 8500 Mac video card to support dual monitors and I'll be feeling like a real graphic designer.

Speaking of graphic design, my teacher was getting on my nerves today. We have to design our personal business logo and our logos are supposed to represent who we are and such. Well, she changed everything about the logo I designed. It doesn't represent me at all. That's OK. I did it and turned it in and now that I have a G4, I'll do what I wanted to do in the first place.

Have I mentioned that I want one of the new iPods?

I'd better get some hours next week. I hope the manager's pissy mood is gone at least until he writes next week's schedule. Yesterday he was talking to me like nothing was wrong. Dick. I've made less money in the last three days than during two regular days. I love wasting my time like that. I'd rather be off totally than make less than $20. *sigh*

I've become a bit of an eBay addict the last few days. I like to buy stuff when I'm depressed. I've purchased a cross stitch kit and 4 cross stitch patterns. My feedback rating is finally over 10! Now I can sell stuff as "Buy It Now." Yay.

Man, have you guys seend the new iPod's that were introduced yesterday? Neat! I'm going to have to see some stuff on eBay and get me one of those. Apple also has a new online music service. It sounds intriguing.

OK, it's taken me about 4 hours, but I did it--here is the result:



If I have time this weekend, I really need to work on the ol' site here (like putting up some of the blinkies I downloaded before Janelle kills me--LOL). Right now, I need to get my butt to bed.
