Downs & Ups
So Ive been feeling a bit low lately and worried about finances. With everything Ive purchased lately & figuring my bare minimum budget, Im finding I didnt leave room for small things.
With that said Ive been slipping into my old mind set of just saying fuck it & spending what I want to spend. Its the old mind set of if I cant win, may as well go for broke.
I guess a lot of it has to do with losing my job in 2 1/2 weeks. As confident as I am, Im still a bit worried about survival. Will it work out like I want, or will I fail? Guess only time will tell but it doesnt take away the fear.
Ive also been missing Josh more lately than ever. This is the second time since he started that we've had to go more than 3 weeks witgout seeing each other. I miss being together and going for walks and stuff like that. Just exploring together.
On another note, the new computer. Well things are going well and Im really liking it, however I learned a valuable lesson (hooray my first lesson). The lesson was that when using a wireless mouse, you really need to keep the batteries charged (ie; putting the mouse in the docking station). Last night the mouse went dead and I couldn’t close or use any of the programs. I ended up using my laptop *chuckle* which kind of defeated the purpose of having a new computer.
With all that, I finally got most of the programs I need installed. Finally got my palm programmed to send and receive emails. Yay, Im completely mobile now. I also had to figure out how to import my address book from the palm to the address book on the mac. After about 2 hours playing, I finally got it imported. I exported it from the palm, to the palm desktop, and then finally realized that I had to export it to my desktop as a vcard file (who knows what that is lol). I then imported the vcard file to my email. One problem. The addresses that were imported, listed email addresses as the phone numbers. So I had to go in and fine tune things but cutting and pasting to the correct fields. Only took about 10 minutes so it wasn’t a big deal. At least its done with now and I can proceed as normal.
Things left to do. 1) set up voice recognition on my palm/cell so I can dictate emails. 2) I still need Josh to bring me software (photoshop & Word/Excel for Mac). 3) figure out how to use my ftp program. And 4) upload more pics of friend to my palm so I can attach pictures to their phone numbers and ifo. Its kind of a cool feature to have the persons picture pop up when they call. :-)
Other news, nothing really new with work. Just biding my time. 2 1/2 weeks left. YAY!
