I miss Juneau!

Apparently Google Maps has started their Street View project... in Juneau! Here's an ADN article about it: www.adn.com/news/alaska/story/352626.html

And of course check out www.googlemaps.com to see the beauty of Juneau.

Highs and Lows

I love how the high and low on a single day in the state of Alaska can be as much as 90 degrees apart!

New Ringtone!

So I finally put a ringtone on my new cell phone, since the ones it came with were pretty crappy. And since AT&T gave me one for free, I figured I might as well. So I picked out "No Air" by Jordin Sparks. :) I like it.

Ever so slightly less work...

So I think I'll be able to work a bit less for at least a week or two. (A bit less being defined as somewhere around 60 hours/week instead of 70.) Which means that I might possibly be able to start putting my apartment back together. :) It also means I might be able to get my laundry done... speaking of which, I need to get that started.

Reality Check

Posting in my blog would require having time...

I'm going to Fairbanks for the weekend though!

Working 'til midnight on a Saturday should be a crime

So why'd I do it? It seemed like a good idea while I was still at work. I was on a roll and figured I just needed to get it done while I was in the mood for it. I guess I lost that mood pretty quickly after I left at midnight. Now it's 45 minutes later and I'm trying to wind down so I can go to sleep and get up at a decent hour and go back to work. And this is what I've done all week, except the times are shifted a bit... I normally leave work at about 8 and get to work at about 8. Which even that schedule leaves 2 hours to wind down after work, 8 hours to sleep, and another 2 hours to wake up and possibly make it to the gym before going back to work. And for some reason I haven't totally gone crazy yet. Or maybe I have and just don't know it. I really hope the rest of this return goes according to plan so I can skip town this coming weekend and go to Fairbanks. I need a break, and I'm apparently not going to get one if I stay here.

New Phone Number!

Hey everyone! I have a new cell phone number! The old number is being disconnected, so please help me make sure you all get my new number! For obvious reasons I won't post it on here, but if you post a comment on here, or email me, I'll make sure to call or send you an email with my new number. My goal is to go through my list of phone numbers and call or email everyone, but I've been too busy to get to very many people on the list at all. So don't feel bad and help me by bugging me about it!

Water Water Everywhere

So yesterday the washer in the apartment upstairs overflowed. Fortunately nothing of mine seems to have been damaged, as long as my down comforter comes back from the dry cleaners alright. The ceiling is rather damaged, however, as I have a 4 and a half foot diameter bubble hanging from my ceiling, along with other obviously wet spots that were dripping on my bed yesterday and last night. All the water that was in the bubble drained into a pan sitting on the floor below it, but the pan wasn't big enough apparently and so it overflowed on the floor (that was all today) while I was at work. So maintenance brought another fan in to dry that up. There is very little of my carpet actually touching the floor right now, as it is all being bouyed up by the air from the fans.

So I'm sitting here, a full day and at least 6 hours later, still listening to the heavy duty high powered fans trying to get the carpet dry. I might at least get to sleep on my bed tonight, instead of the couch, although I'll have to watch for falling bits of ceiling. I think I'll brave the bits of ceiling, however, as I did not sleep well at all on the couch last night. My neck is still a bit sore from it.

Monday they are supposed to fix everything. So my place will pretty much have to stay in a state of disarray until they deal with everything, since I'm sure they'll make a mess in the process.

I was at work today for about 10 hours. I'll probably go in again tomorrow for awhile just to escape my apartment (and of course because I have too much to get done at work). And since it's nearly 11 and I'm bored and annoyed, I'll probably just head to bed. Hopefully I can sleep with all this noise...
