tuesday already?
my my how time flew since the last time i blogged.
once again i missed another day.
last night i had the worst headache and decided not to come in
for work.
it gave me a chance to do a little bit of cardio and stretch out my body.
man, my body just needs a workout period!

'also enjoyed a nice dinner at the local noodle house.
the wonton noodle soup i had was ...o.k.
it's one of those chain restaurants, so the quality of the
food was so-so.
me and my bf agreed that we should've gone to the
Vietnamese restaurant next door instead.

for dessert i had an avocado shake from Goldilocks.
GAWD! BIG MISTAKE!
The drink was all runny and gross and the avocado
was just nasty.
wayyy too watery! eck!
It literally looked like green diahrea.

Oh well....at least my company for dinner was pleasant.

one teeny-tiny step towards a revolution
I presented my little proposal for networking the office to my boss today.
praise the lawd! halleluah! we will (hopefully in a month's time) have
networked computers to share printers, files, and someday the internet.

my boss met with me for almost 1.5 hours.
of course it took that long because we were interrupted several
times with phone calls.
nevertheless, I got the go ahead for the project.
I'm so excited!
It's such a little feat but if you knew
just how far we are in the stone ages when it comes to technology in the office,
then you'd jump for joy, too.

i'm also excited to be able to work on a project with my co-worker.
i truly miss working in a team, collaborating with folks,
and visioning/dreaming how we can improve our organization.
thank goodness i have this project to work on
cause my usual job duties are pretty much routine and
run-of-the-mill. not much excitement.

the problem is, i think this office is immune to change.
i mean seriously! it takes years for things to change for the better.
Take this networking project for example...it's been almost
12 months since folks have been complaining about
insufficient printer access (and internet access as well)

Part of the problem is that there is too much
beauracratic red tape...and there's only 3 managers/administrators in
the hierarchy!
they are obsessed with having wayyy too much
control of what happens in the agency.
it's sad really.
and because of that, they experience a very high turnover rate.

where i am now
so i'm at the spa again...waiting for clientele.
I'm actually about ready to leave soon.
i want to go home to my baby.
oh, and it'd be nice to watch some American Idol, too! hehe
