afternoon stream of consciousness

So I went to run errands at lunch and got caught in traffic for a half an hour. Bastard MnDOT!

I didn't get done half of what I needed to, but I can stop at the UPS Store on my way home to send out [livejournal.com profile] justmightbe's package tonight.

The Mom and I are planning a shopping expedition this weekend. We're going to the bead store and the Harley Davidson outfitter.

What? I needs beads and boots.

The IT guys here replaced my CD-ROM, thank the good lord. I've been without music since Monday. Doing this job is bad enough, but without some form of musical distraction, it's been deadly.

I wish working here wasn't quite so much like kissing The Man's ass for several reasons:

1. I'd pierce my eyebrow.
2. When I dyed my hair black this past weekend, I would have bleached out sections and colored them pink.
3. We could wear jeans on Fridays.
4. I wouldn't be forced to complete a work record daily detailing how I spent my time. I need to write fic, dammit.

A lunch of guacamole Doritos, M&M's and diet Coke doesn't really do much for digestive calmness.

I need to expand my musical horizons and, since I am a total LJ sheep, I want you to suggest artists/songs/CD's I must listen to.

Help a girl out...

Shouldn't being a temp exempt you from having to clock time? That's the lamest, most demoralizing business practice ever. That company is run very poorly. /middle management reject

I think everybody in the world should be listening to Jimmy Eat World. And The New Pornographers. And Brian Kennedy, not that you can buy his music in the U.S. or ever find any mp3s. Van Morrison. People don't listen to him enough either.

Truer words have never been spoken. And it's super lame because 90% of the time, I'm operating at >100%. Of course yesterday, I was at 60%, but I jimmied that.
