back to
work. it's actually quite nice to be out of the
house.
when i saw my coworker (and former
boss), he let me know that there had been an all-hands meeting on
friday where those of us who have worked to develop our product were presented with
statues and an
envelope. he had such a
gleam in his eyes when he said envelope... i know it's
good. i don't know who i need to
talk to to get my hands on my piece of the
pie... i am anxious to see just how much is in the
envelope. mostly, though, i am glad to see that upper
management is recognising our contribution.
i'm having troubles with the
Windows 2000 box i need to set up so that i can compile
Windows software. it worked until i put the
NIC in it (which it was supposed to come with, but didn't). i think it's safe to assume it's the NIC causing problems, but i figured everything would be
plug-n-play. since i'm not a
hardware person (and since i don't want to crawl around on the floor taking the box apart again) i am leaving it to our
expert (yah right)
MIS guy.
my office is as i left it, but amazingly my miniature
roses aren't
dead (i got them from my
boyfriend a few months ago). i had asked someone to
water them, but the cleaning folks locked my
office door shortly after my last day before the
surgery. so they hadn't had any
water in quite some time. not only are they still
alive, but there is a little red
rosebud appearing on one of the plants. i love it. having another
bloom is like getting the roses all over again. yes i'm a
romantic cheesy sap.
:)
more later...
the
envelope contained one
kilobuck. werd. less than i expected, but $1000 more than i had this morning and i'd be a damned
fool to
complain. i love it. i'm tempted to get a new paint job for my
del sol. or maybe a
computer. or, or, or... so many glimmering possibilities. but i already know what i'm gunna do with the
moolah. put it towards the
credit card debt. but it's still nice to think about what i
could buy with it.
