Home alone

One of the things I get to do for work is to test the beta version of Office 2007. Super cool, or so I thought. To install the 2007 you have to uninstall 2003. Wednesday I uninstalled 2003 from my computer (about 40 minutes of time) and then went to get the 2007 version. Of course when I got to the link within the Intel intranet it wouldn’t load it for me because “I wasn’t part of the community”. SO what could I do. Of course our TAC couldn’t help so I reloaded the Office 2003 so I could do my work. So then I tried again on Thursday, same thing. That’s when I emailed the head of the project and said I’ve uninstalled/reinstalled twice and I’m not going to do it for a third time. Finally another day goes by and she’s fixed it. I spent all of my work day yesterdays loading 2007 on my computer. ARGH!!! Did I really want to beta test? Why do I tell you about this? well because I basically couldn’t use my computer for the day I wok up this morning and felt the pressure of having a million things to do for work and mad that I needed to do it over the weekend. I know, I know you’re thinking, “just don’t do it” but like we all know sometimes that’s not an option. I needed to have some things done for other peole and wasn’t able to and they needed it before Monday morning so Is pent part of the morning today copying and pasting, shooting emails and all sorts of things.
When I was all done I took Baylee to the dog park for a few hours and she loved it. I need to take her there more. On the way home we stopped and she got some ice cream because she had such a great day! I’ve spent a lot of my afternoon trying to get caught up on my scrapbooking. I’m not quite a year behind so that good but I’m wondering if I’m loosing my mojo with scrapbooking. I love scrapbooking but the creative juices just aren’t flowing like they usually do, not sure what’s going on there. SO instead for trying to force myself to get more pages done, I think I’m going to take the dog for a walk, read a little and just chill… man, chilling is really hard for me. We’ll see how the rest of the evening goes.
