My stepdad has visted twice in the past month. I leave him alone with my computer and I come home and it has lost it's history. All those websites that I remember by starting to type in the first two or three letters are gone. AGAIN. _

Because I am swamped beyond belief, my colleagues very nicely came along and took some of my work away from me today. _

So, I'm still not entirely sure what was wrong with my printer yesterday, but at least part of the problem was I was trying to make it print a blank piece of paper out of notepad and it didn't want to do that. It's mostly working now. _

There is a network printer, which I can connect to, and it's not the end of the world. It's just not on my desk. _

Today, suddenly, my computer and my printer stopped talking to each other. I was getting a little error message saying things had failed to print, but I'm not even getting that anymore. I don't hear it do the winding noises it usually makes when it starts to print things. It just does nothing. I can make it spit out a test page, but that's directly on the printer. (Also, I hit a whole bunch of buttons until something happens, and then out comes the page. I'm not really sure which one I'm supposed to press to make the test page print.) I went through Windows' help guidance thing, and boy was it unhelpful. I don't really know what to do. _

Our new temp sitting at the front desk doesn't answer the phone. I don't understand why. _

After at least three weeks of cursing at our kitchen for being too dark, Brianne and I went off to Home Depot to get new florescent light bulbs for the brighter light in our kitchen. Our kitchen is almost bright enough again! Hurray! I will still turn on all the lights, I'm sure, as I hate working in a dark kitchen, and want as much light as possible. But there will be no more cooking mostly by the light over the stove. _

I sweetened my coffee to drink it while eating donut holes. I finished the donut holes before I finished the coffee, which is now cold, and so sweet it's a little sickening. _

I am a recent convert to the magic of text messaging. It came about because we added free unlimited text and picture messaging (withing Verizon, of course, cause this is Verizon) to our phone service. I now love it. My roommates, however, are thrilled with their low-tech phones, and despise texts. So, I'm sitting here, trying to figure out whether or not Tracy is bringing Amy back to our house again tonight, and knowing that calling will probably be futile, but a text message would just piss her off. ((sigh)) _

You would never be able to tell that I spent last Wednesday cleaning my office. _

I stayed home from work yesterday, because I had been rather sick the night before, and thought I should take another day of lying around rather than trying to concentrate on things. (I should probably be doing that today as well; I feel queasier today than I did yesterday). Sam was rather thrilled that he got to sleep on me all day. At 7, which is when I've been getting home all summer, he went and sat by the front door waiting for me. It was really cute. _
