Ok, for the rest of the week, I really have to focus. I have another homework project due Thursday and a final on Friday. The only treat that I'm going to give myself until Friday after the final will be going to church. Yes, that's a treat. I haven't heard anything via e-mails, but I hope there will be food there as usual.
Last night, while I was working on my stat homework that was due for today, I listened to my classical music for the first time in a while when studying. For some reason, it brought back the memory of me writing COBOL in the wee hours of the morning. It actually became a little distracting. I don't like it when good music gets associated with a bad thing. I switched back to my jazz and became a lot more productive.
Today at work, I found out that Chris will be leaving in the next couple of weeks. Jason will be leaving at the end of the month, so that means I will be by myself at work in a few weeks. I knew this was coming. My last post was just about people leaving for their careers, and today the wheels are set in motion. I already am the most senior person at my job. I will probably be promoted to server administrator on top of my task of being Mac administrator. Looks like there will be more to add to the resume. I wonder if that will constitute another raise :-$.
Speaking of money, the good 'ol credit card company called again today. Apparently, Apple charges when they ship. They make a $1 debit/credit to my account to make sure the information is valid when they take the order, but apparently $1 isn't enough to red flag a mistake I made when entering my expiration date. So, the order did not ship and I had to call the credit card company and Apple to straighten things out. Ugh. The nice thing is that the credit card company had their end of the situation all figured out with me before Apple even got around to notifying me that the transaction didn't complete. I was already on hold with Apple when their email came. I figure they are just extra touchy about things right now, since my account is in transition between Mastercard to Visa. Also, how come it takes 5 days to SHIP a WARRANTY?
Anyway, I've got to get to bed at a decent time, so I'm not so drained this week.
