Finally it’s moving day for me. They FINALLY decided where they’re moving my dept and we get to move in now. Yay! Last time I mentioned the move (on April 26), we were going to be moving to the first floor. Oh how many things have changed since then!!

After they decided they wasn’t going to be room for us on 1, we were going to be moved to 4. (Keep in mind, there are only 5 people in my dept, 2 of us need offices.) Then some of the other people they were moving to 1, there wasn’t going to be room for them either, so they were bumped to 4, too. Which meant there likely wasn’t going to be room for the 5 of us. They wanted to split us up – 2 on the 3rd floor, the other 3 on the 4th floor. Um. That doesn’t work, we all interact on a very regular basis with paperwork, etc.

So, then, they were going to put us on the 7th floor. Whoever we found to rent out the bank building decided they wanted to rent the 1st floor of the Tower, too. Which means all the people who had JUST moved down to 1, had to move BACK up to 7. During this time, the people who moved on to 4, had decided to take the offices that were going to be me & my boss’, if we ended up moving to 4. They finally decided we ARE moving to the 4th floor, and they had to kick out the people who took our offices so we could have them back. haha.

Most of my department moved down to 4 yesterday. I couldn’t move — my office has to be restricted access, and they hadn’t yet set up a badge reader on the door for me. They did that yesterday, and started building a cube desk into the office for me. They were still working on that this morning, and they moved down my massive safe this morning too. I think they are done in there, so I should be able to start moving this afternoon, unless something else comes up. My boss was very nice, though, and he decided to stay up here with me until I’m able to move, so I don’t have to be all alone. Hee!! I almost didn’t get to move until next week because they thought my office was also tied into the building’s silent alarm. But, what they thought was part of the alarm system was something else altogether. Which is good, since we didn’t have to wait on MORE wiring for that to be done before I could move.

Yesterday afternoon, I started packing up some of my stuff that I wouldn’t need today. We have these moving dollies that are 4 feet tall, 4 feet long, and 2 feet deep – with two shelves. JUST the supplies from my office plus my spare printer completely filled that up. And that’s only the stuff that is office supplies!!!! I haven’t even touched the 2 computer systems I use on a daily basis, or my check sealer, or my personal stuff! <sarcasm>I am going to have SO MUCH FUN moving today whee!</sarcasm> I’m going to attach a pic of the dolly of supplies at the end of this. (I probably shouldn’t have, but I adjusted the color on the pic. This monitor is way too dark, though, so I probably brightened it too much. If I did, I’ll fix it tonight.)

I still am having issues with my arm from my tendonitis. I got a cortisone shot on Tuesday, but that hasn’t helped much. (I’ll go more into all of that stuff at a later time though, when I have more time.) So, with my arm sore, my knees bad… moving this heavy stuff is gonna be fun. Thankfully, my 2 good coworkers both just offered to help me after lunch. That was very nice of them, and will make things a lot easier on me.

I have to go get packing again, so it’s cut time for that picture. Horoscope behind the cut too, just because I can. 😉 Continue reading “Please forward to the new address”

Western co-signs: TIGER/Leo Fire and wood again. Shining brightly, the Tiger/Leo ought to be the happiest of beasts. The indisputable king of the jungle hasn’t a worry in the world. For once his arch-rival is on his side. Nothing short of an excess of pride and preening vanity should daunt him. His ego might just get in the way of his brain from time to time. If you deal with this creature, keep your sense of humour. His roar is worse than his bite.

The Chinese Elements and your sign: The Wood Tiger
This Tiger is well noted for his (or her) boundless enthusiasm and exceptional daring. An unflinching pioneer, he loves to undertake grandiose projects and do what has never been done before. But he prefers initiating to realizing, and few of his enterprises are carried through to a happy conclusion. Failure, however, never influences his calenture in a way or another. Whatever the situation in which he may find himself, the Tiger of this combination can always discover something that fascinates him. Boredom is consequently unknown to his nature. He lives intensely, crowding every minute of his life and never allowing himself to muddle through or indulge in self-pity for a single moment. He holds, contempt for both ivory-tower idealists and garrulous theoreticians alike, being himself unable to pursue any thought or conversation in depth. He is prone to sudden, unpredictable explosions of boiling anger, and this weakness of his is a serious handicap in his relations with others. Despite his fiery character, he does need a congenial affective atmosphere in order to function properly. The Wood Tiger is often a prey to his various internal conflicts. He is often torn between his selfishness and his generosity. He acutely feels the necessity of more patience and consistency, yet he cannot help being drawn away from one job to another. There is also a contradiction between his obvious desire for adventures and his secret longing for a cozy life. It is important that he can solve these conflicts during his adolescence, preferably with psychiatric help.

I’ll never be your beast of burden

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may soon have a dream of beating up the person you were five years ago. This would be a good omen. It means you’re ready to wean yourself completely from a stale old self-image. If you dream of feeding caviar and champagne to a donkey, it’s also a positive sign. It means you’re beginning to recognize that the hard-working beast in you needs to be treated more luxuriously. And if you dream of yelling at a bunch of kids to go clean up their messy bedrooms, Leo, that’s an auspicious portent as well. It signifies your readiness to discipline the irresponsible habits and organize the unruly impulses of your inner child.

I try not to post my horoscopes too often, but this one amused me enough, and I wanted to analyze it a little. Beating myself up, eh? Well, okay. As long as it means I’m not just changing my self-image, but I’m also actually changing, too. I am still trying to better myself, strengthen myself, learn to trust again, and (more importantly) learn to trust properly. That would be better than who I was about 5 years ago, if I can keep changing in those areas. But sorry inner beast of burden, you’ll have to deal without caviar. You know you’re allergic to anything fish/seafood related. But how about I dream of feeding you Godiva chocolates instead? Or even better – how about delicious New York Strip steaks and salads? Mmmm. Poor inner child. She’s been through a rough time lately. We’ve been doing a lot of cleaning. But organization? I’m not sure if we’re ready for that one yet. We’ll see.

For some reason, it seems that the LJ feed of my journal hasn’t updated in over a week. I poked around some yesterday, and found a thread from a girl who had a similar problem a few months back. I tried the things that she did to fix it – we’ll see if that does anything for me. At least I know that the feed validates as RSS now. It did before, but there were 2 warnings that shouldn’t have affected anything, but knowing LJ they probably did. 😉 haha. Hopefully this fixes it, though. If not, I know what post was the last one it read. I’ll temp mark the next post as a draft until LJ takes the rest of the feed, see if maybe that doesn’t work – if maybe there’s something wrong with that individual post. Which wouldn’t surprise me either.

I need to call my doctor’s office and see if they’ve heard anything on my MRI, since they’ve suddenly become incapable of calling me since my last visit. I need to schedule my follow up appointment, anyway, since that wasn’t done when I was in there before. When I go in again, I can check to see if I’ve lost any weight, and I can also coordinate my home scale with the one at the doctor’s office so I know the results are accurate. I feel like I’ve lost weight, and the scale has moved backwards some so this is good. Finally. Whee! I also need to find and get an appt with another doctor – but I won’t go into the details of that one here since it’s a little too personal. (Appt made.)

I want to completely reconstruct another site I maintain. A few weeks ago, I spent a few hours while I was teaching myself some CSS, writing an index page all in one file. After I had it looking exactly how I wanted, then I went back and split it up into the appropriate CSS, header, and footer files. I learn better that way, seeing it all in one file at first, working how it should, being able to tweak things in one place before breaking it down into the proper components so it can run the entire site. The only problem… the site that I want to rebuild now is a blog. I am just barely learning CSS, and know minimal amounts of PHP. Trying to throw in all the right stuff I need to make a blog work? Yeah. I don’t think I’m ready for that. But if anyone wants to take pity on me and help… haha. Just be warned it probably won’t be an easy ordeal. And I should still probably make a generic layout of the site first, to show how I want it to end up, even though it won’t work at all in WordPress. Probably. Maybe. I don’t know. This stuff confuses me. :-$

I’m spending most of the work day today writing procedural manuals. Oh joy! But seriously, if they help out and make it easier for someone else to do my job while I’m on vacation, I guess I can do it. It just would have been nice if the manuals were already written. I had to be trained one-on-one and take notes, the old fashioned way. So did most of the people in this position before me. I will still train my co-worker one-on-one, but at least she’ll have a manual to refer to when she gets confused, instead of sitting there trying to figure out what she meant in the notes she took?

There was more that I was going to ramble about today, I think. But it seems that my tongue is swollen in one small part, but that is starting to spread. So I think I need to go google that to see what on earth could be going on. O.o I don’t think it’s an allergic reaction, because I haven’t eaten or drank anything different. In fact, since I’m bringing Slim Fast to work, it’s exactly the same thing I’ve had for lunch for the last 3 weeks.
