Shiny and new!

OMG! Not only is it lovely, lovely Friday, but I just got a shiny new work computer. It's so very shiny, I can't even begin to tell you. And everything was transferred over, so I have semagic and gaim on here like nothing happened. Next stop, ITUNES!

Question: Should I make sure that I'm running the exact same version of Itunes at home and work before I start messing with everything? I've been a little leery of doing another update since the whole v.7.0 fiasco, but maybe I should just update at home before I update here at work? The wonders of itunes are limitless (internet radio? Yes please!) Am I being paranoid, or does this seem like solid sense to all of you?

Okay, since I had to hang around for an hour while my computer got changed over, I have to go and do a bunch of work.

But that's okay! Because it's FRIDAY!

What's your price for flight?

While testing out my work speakers on my shiny new machine, I just inadvertantly blared out Sister Christian to the surrounding office.

The punchline? I'm only embarrassed about the volume.

(although the maker of this icon may be the only one to appreciate that.)

Timesheets.

Four years ago, almost to the day, I started working at BIP as a temp. After about a month, another placement, some badgering of HR and a whole lot of sleuthing, I was hired in December.

We currently have a temp in our group, and Boss T was out of the office today. The temp needed her timesheet signed, and the task fell to me, after I checked with HR to make sure it was kosher for me to do so.

In my working career since college, I've filled out about 1,000 of those sheets. Today was the first time I signed someone else's in an official capacity.

Does this mean I've come full circle, or passed on to the next level? I have no idea. But it felt cool in the weirdest way.
