Working for the Weekend

March 17, 2007

I’m not that good with downloading new software on the computer.  I think I’m afraid of it.  Thank goodness computers come already equipped with the basics.  So far I’ve loaded my digital scrapbook software and have tried to download my camera software…..tried is the key word here.  First off I could not find the disk so I went online and downloaded from there.  Seemed like there was an error so I gave up.  Then I found the disk and downloaded it.  Was all excited because I can’t do anything with my pictures until I got that software loaded.  Plugged in my camera to download some pictures…error message…could not find camera.  Okay screwed that up.  So I’d been bugging my husband for days to remove what I loaded and reload it and finally last night he did.  How was I to know I’d have to go to the canon site for upgrades since this new computer has Vista (and by the way I have not said “WOW” yet like in the commercials…I mean it’s okay but certainly have not seen the WOW factor…..I guess I don’t know enough about that either.

So now I have my camera software on here and now I need to find out where we got the photo editing software.  I think it came with the printer and I’m wondering if we’ll have to get upgrades on that as well…..Blah!

I’m thankful it’s friday although my whole weekend started out bad.  Today was actually my day off but my boss asked me to come in in case I was needed to help someone with this new online appraisal system we started using.  I guess that way okay since I would just get another day off but I come in to find an email from my co-worker who is obviously still not happy with me and it really upset me again.  I didn’t go to my boss with this but sorta mentioned it and he said I was doing great and not to worry about her and that he’s trying to deal with her.  So now he’s got two problems..her behavior and me being upset …..The man will probably retire like he threatens to every day. I just evidently can’t work with women…too many hormones and moods involved (on both sides…mine and theirs) I get in these hyper modes and am really focused and don’t even think about sharing what’s going on with her.  I promised my boss I would try and be more aware….and I did later in the afternoon….I’m just glad the day is over.

So it’s friday night and I’m here on the computer in my scrapbook room, the baby fell asleep at 7 and my husband is downstairs watching TV…….okay now I’m saying WOW and it’s only because…..our life is so dull!  LOL!  Hopefully I can at least talk him into watching a movie with me later.  I got two movies from Netflix today.  One was Babel which I had no dea what it was about only that it was nominated and then I got Haven which the only thing I remember about it was that fine fine Orlando Bloom was in it…..my weekend just got exciting!
