Today was not nearly as bad as I anticipated. Should have known Fridays are almost always low-key. My project was easier than expected, and part of it got pushed to next week.
Three day weekend coming up! My friends are all going to be back in town, so it should be a lot of fun!

Went with a Wu-Tang station today. Brought da ruckus. Tomorrow's going to suck, which has me in a sour mood right now.

Affirmative Action - Nas

Tried a full day with the dance/dubstep station with mixed results. Going to change it up tomorrow with a brand new look, but this station won't be so bad every now and again because it often just blends into the background.
We installed a new industrial printer in the office today. I was the only one trained on it, and I get to teach everyone...

Wasn't at my desk much today as I was tasked with teaching myself a new program, and that required me to be at another workstation.
Before I left, though, I decided to change up Pandora in a big way. Dubstep and dance aren't really my genres, but I put in a station that's seeded by M83, Skrillex, and Junior Senior. We'll see how it goes....

Almost everyone in the office left at 11 for an off-location meeting. It was just me and one dude all day, and the other dude left around 3. Wish I hadn't carpooled! Oh well. Got to play around with my Kindle Fire, and ended up rejoining Twitter. So not a bad day in all I suppose.
Not much music. Too busy goofing off.

Kindle Fire works and is a lot of fun.
Bought myself some fresh new kicks at the Nike Outlet store.
Visited my younger brother at VCU on a whim, and had a good time.

Is this what being semi-competent at life feels like? Because it's about damn time.

My Kindle arrived in the mail today. Shockingly fast turnaround! I'm in the process of getting my wireless to cooperate with it, but it's already become a hassle. I suck at fancy computers.
Work sucked. On my feet most of the day at a copier that's on its last legs. Jams galore. Le sigh.

Decent day. There was a long stretch where IT was working on my system, using it as a guinea pig to see if they could get a new startup script to work for the company. Good to see my workstation is dispensable.
Ordered a Kindle Fire for myself today. Excited about it even though I've heard it has its problems, which could be bad since...

I tried today. Really, I did. But after two days of a seemingly non-stop deluge, I had to edit my station to see if I could get a little less hip-hop. I normally don't mind it all that much, but I feel like I've heard the entire new Bad Meets Evil album now. And I was okay with having skipped it. To Em and Royce...

Pretty stinky day at work, and tomorrow looks to be even worse. But oh well. Kind of how it goes sometimes. Should be pretty low-key after I get through tomorrow, so I guess I shouldn't complain.
Good mix today. Started off heavy on the rap, transitioned into rock, and then got some female vocalists in there by the end.

Relatively normal day at work. No meetings, no new happenings. Cut myself trying to fix the stupid printer. The usual.
Super Bowl hangover. I don't feel as bad about the loss as I was afraid I might be. Shit happens. Life goes on. It's just football. Gotta just look ahead to what's next.
Paid off a sizable chunk of my outstanding student loan with my...

I know football is just a game. But still...that didn't feel good.
