Snippets from today..

Snippets from today...

1. I almost ran over a little box turtle on my drive into school this morning.

2. I found this new spangled calendar feature on Google (there's a link to it at the top of your Gmail window), and I happen to think it's awesome. Now I can view and edit my calendar both at home and at school! Yay! I guess this signals the end of me ever needing a paper planner now.

3. My grandmother and aunt are visiting my great aunt Peggy who lives about fifteen miles from me. I should find time to see them before they leave.

4. One of my office mates had a birthday today, so I got free cake!

5. As I was walking out to my car on my way home I stepped off a curb wrong and completely wiped out on the street. Both of my ankles are now sore as hell (one of them I landed on sideways, so yeah...that will smart a little). To make the experience even more enjoyable, someone was walking the other direction was like RIGHT THERE to see me go down. Fabulous.

6. I found out that I will FINALLY be getting a computer in my office by Tuesday (since Monday's Labor Day and all). It's a PC, but I'll take anything at this point. The only issue is that our room doesn't have half of its ethernet ports yet, so I might be internetless for another week or two on my machine. Others in the room will be hooked up though.

7. Speaking of Labor Day, THREE DAY WEEKEND! Woo hoo! Too bad Jeremy's working night shifts through all of it. :(

Slap a hub in there and steal off another ethernet port ;)

I posted about Google calendar months ago! So if you didn't know about it till now, you have no one to blame but yourself ;)

Sorry to hear about the ankle. Landing on ankles sideways always sucks.

Did the person walking the other way offer to help in any way, or did they just look at you? If they didn't help, then they suck.

Lastly, what [livejournal.com profile] pupster said, and Yeah! Free cake!!!

Yes, well, I'm a little slow when it comes to finding out about new technology thingamajigs, even when my livejournal friends talk about them right in front of my eyes. :)

The person just asked if I was ok, which is probably the best thing he could have done. I wouldn't want anyone to offer me any help or take pity on me for being a klutz.

yeah, i suppose it wasn't a terribly high-profile post... although it did have the nifty and totally unnecessary Google colors. sometimes I'm just too much a dork for my own good.

Yeah, it's nice when people show they aren't complete asses, but then don't fall all over themselves to be helpful.

At least he didn't laugh... I got that in high school when I rolled my ankle coming down the stairs. But then, that was high school...

Nope. You just need a "google account," but that will also get you Gmail account I think. The good thing is that it looks like you don't need an invite anymore.

Yay...enjoy your three day weekend!!! As well as your new computer!!!

I hope your poor owies are better...I hate it when I fall. Why does it seem like there is always someone there to witness these things????
