In computer graphics class, what a suprise. Yesterday was my first day 'o' work. It was alright. Spent the entire time getting familiar with the most frustrating system I've ever encountered. Yes, even more frustrating then the one we have at school.

The place has only two phone lines, which is alright I guess. But the thing is, is that the second line is used by too many things! The credit card thingy, the internet, the fax machine and a phone or two are all connected to it. It's like 'ARGH!'

The computer that most of the graphics work and FTPing and such are on is a 200mghz processor with 32 MBs of RAM. *gag* It runs slow as shit! I have to use Microsoft Frontpage in order to do any of the pages, and each of them look as though someone through them together in 3 seconds. Take a look. I plan on making MAJOR improvements to this.

In the meanwhile, things aren't all that bad there. My friend, Maryam, who took me to work yesterday, got crunched by some old woman in the parking lot...
We were in the parking lot of my work, getting ready to pull in, and this old lady backing out just backed right in to Maryam's poor taurus. The really frustrating thing is that the lady, who was like 70 and partially blind, didn't look behind her once while backing out. Talk about frustrating. Luckily, Maryam's car only got a dent in the fender-area, the lady's car got some of Maryam's paint on the bumper, but that wipes off easily. In the words of Maryam, 'You can't wipe off a dent!'

I won't be making any more entries until I get a new layout for this working, because the tables get messed up too easily and gwen ends up sinking to the midddle of the page! Bai!

Well, sorry it's been awhile. Been up to nothing. I got that job I mentioned, go me! I start on Wednesday, right after school. The lady's pretty nice, I'm just hoping I don't curse out of no where, since these are all pretty clean cut adults. Yea.. Jen's gonna get paid $5.75 an hour. Hopefully I'll amaze them and get a raise soon enough.

Danno brought me flowers, they're so pretty! Two of them died already, but there's still two pretty pink ones and a pretty maroon one. They're sitting on my TV in Bawls bottles. Oo, speaking of Danno, he was an angel (when isn't he?) and installed a whole lotta RAM on my system. What's the magic number now?! Huh?! 319.0 megs! Yay!

Argh. Stupid woman was on my computer when I got home with Dan yesterday. I wanted to push her through the window. So I got all upset and stuff.. I won't get in to it. Lets just say she's stupid and needs to go away.

Goodness I'm hungry. Need something warm.. to eat... ::faints:: I should be reading Tale of Two Cities right now, but I dun wanna! Lazy Jen should be better at school seeing as we only have like, 6 days left? I don't remember. It's all over Wednesday next week. Go I.

Danno and I watched two movies this weekend. The Cell and Red Planet. The Cell wasn't all that bad, I thought it was kinda like Silence of the Lambs, but that's just me. I loved the visuals and the colors! I sat for a good hour after the movie and watched the story board drawings. They got boring, and I got ill. Red Planet was just plain dissapointing. Puke! I mean, it had that girl that played Trinity in it, which I thought was neat, how she moves on to other projects and stuff. The movie sucked though. No real plot, no real anything. Plah.

It's a little cold outside, which makes me a sad girlie. I kinda miss the warm weather. Jennifer Aniston is icky, you can see her ribs all the time. Friends is on the TV right now. So icky. I have to work on updating my Elfwood gallery tonight. I have everything scanned, but jeebus, it takes so long to get everything 'right.'

My kitty's meowing like crazy right now.. Poor thing. Rolling about like some sorta.. well I'm not sure what it is she looks like. ^.^ She was spazzing out and attacking the carpet earlier. Crazy cat. I have to go and clean her litter and get her new water. Chores, chores.

Anywho, off to doing stuff. Bai! ^.^
