ZOMG!!! It’s ALIVE!!!

by Heidi on May 1, 2008

9am Conference call…check.

10am Conference call…check.

10am Hearing – webcast…check.

Do you realize…how hard it is to focus on CLINICAL COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS and…FDA Bills…and Town Hall events…and who is going to try to get CSPAN there?! And who is going to do this? And omg my boss’s voice at 9am is so abrasive….do you realize…how hard it is to focus on this stuff when you’re like WOW…Mac…is on it’s on its way!!!

Why in GOD’S name did I EVER give up caffeine?? Someone…please remind me?

Anyhow…no cares about my work life. Especially not me.

This morning, while boyfriend nursed a hangover in bed, I got up, checked my bank account (no I am not economically stimulated yet! DAMN YOU GOVERNMENT!! SHOW ME THE MONEYYYY!!!) and then…I checked fedex. ZOMG! THE MAC IS IN ALEXANDRIA!!! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG I’M GOING TO GET IT TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!! it was like…Christmas. I jumped on the bed. He grunted. Puppy looked at me like I had ten heads. I skipped around getting ready for work.

My 9am call lasted all of 15 minutes. 9:45, I go get milk for my breakfast. 9:50 boss asks me to sit on the 10am call…

10:56 we’re done and…there’s a big old box on my chair when I get back. I skip to my coworkers. IT’S HERE!!!!!!!!!! I exclaim excitedly.

I wasn’t supposed to play with it. I was only supposed to charge it…but…really?? I couldn’t help myself. Could you??? I mean…come on here people…

Anyhow, I haven’t…done much with it. It’s just kind of there. Tonight however? Well 7:30 boyfriend and i are going to some Pre-Engagement Seminars that the Archdiocese of Washington is putting on which should be fun…but damnit…I WANT TO PLAY WITH MY MAC!!

Don’t Forget…Mac needs a name. Mac just doesn’t work. So go vote here! I’m shutting the poll down early so tonight at COB (6pm EDT) the poll will be closed and winner will be announced tonight when i get home! *gasp* Are you excited?? I am. Seriously…I want to go home. Watch trashy television and play on my mac.

Other notables…

1. I won my first Pay It Forward Contest thanks to Ben over at !!! So you know what that means??? YOU guys get to enter in MY FIRST Pay-It-Forward contest. I want to think of something clever so don’t go thinking that responding to this post is going to get you entered. Don’t worry…when I say go…I’m sure you guys will go :)

2. Also! I need to send out my freakin’ Bloggy Friend Swap package. I need to go buy stuff for it first. Which unfortunately, I haven’t had time to do yet. Dah. I’ll try to send it out Monday or Tuesday. Along with some Bookmooch books. And now…this pay it forward thing. I’m going to be friends with the LONG ASS LINES that are always during lunch time at the crystal city post office.

3. The blog roll…for the most part is almost back to being functional. I decided yesterday around ohhhhh 5pm that I wanted to reorganize it so it’s been a little…odd for the past day. I’m working on it.

4. How is it my flowers from Administrative Professionals Day are dead yet the pollen? Is still giving me a massive sinus headache. Stupid allergies. Stupid dead flowers.

5. Finally, last night at work, my pal M was working with me (she was my partner in crime a couple Sundays ago during some unfortunate rounds of Mario Kart at our local bar…) and some dude came up and said “You! You made my abs hurt for 3 days! Watch out for her” He said. I beamed. Woo!!! Still need to make that abs mix for work but since I don’t know when i’m working yet…since i don’t have my may schedule yet…I’ll get around to it when I get around to it. Or when I get all my music on my mac. Aka 240 GB of Hard Drive space. Mmmm big hard drive.

Speaking of M…she invited me out with her and a couple of her housemates who also work with us. I’m looking forward to her being my partner in crime…again since i had so much fun the first time. Though i dread the hang over I may or may not have on Sunday morning since Saturday is…as I mentioned…Gold Cup. Yikes. Her and I are also celebrating my 25th and One Month next weekend while boyfriend is away…since I didn’t properly celebrate my 25th…i figure what better way to celebrate than to celebrate one month out! Woo!!! (Hint: any DC Blogger pals…that Saturday – a week from this saturday-if anyone’s around and won’t feel bad visiting mom with  a hangover…let me know ;) I sense…debauchery.)

FINALLY!!!

Because i keep forgetting crap…actually..no. I’m too pissed at ANTM to write about it. I’ll write about it later. After I watch the trash that we call Real World: Hollywood. I’m so ashamed of my tastes in television.

    What an exciting day! Oh, and don’t feel bad, I just sent off my bloggy-swap package today, even though my partner is a much better person than I am, and hers arrived in my mail today.

    Ohhhh, and I almost forgot this– I have something small from Atlanta to send you! …but I need an address. You know what to do.

    I love trashy tv too, it’s so embarrassing that it’s all I can talk about as well….I didn’t see last night’s Real World yet (Top Chef is my Wed. 10pm spot), but based on last week’s episode, the season should not disappoint!

    YAY. MacBooks are just so undeniably happy!

    I’ve gotten the e-mails for the pre-engagements things, too; J and I were thinking of going to the one on the 15th. I’d love to hear what you thought of it…
