There's a critter in the ceiling dear Liza
Exercise: 120 crunches, 50 leg lifts, 30 push ups, 30 squats (decided to add these to kind of mix it up a little and help out with the skating).
Earlier today I was sitting at my desk minding my own business as I do and all of a sudden I hear this noise that sounds kind of like someone rustling a wrapper. At first I didn't think much of it but then it continued. I sat for a minute just listening and realized that was no wrapper, that was a mouse or some other small animal scurrying around. For the next half hour or so, the poor little thing was just running all over the place and making quite a bit of noise doing it - so much so that it was rather distracting.
And now for something that isn't entirely different because it's still work related....
I get a kick out of the drama that starts over the most simple things. One of the other departments here is being required to take a test on a couple of the MS Windows applications - I believe Excel and Outlook. From what I understand they have to score at least a 70% and do each test in less than a half hour. Now I can see how if you have a slow computer (and trust me, many of the ones we have here are) you could end up not finishing in time especially if you don't know the answers to the questions right off the bat but really. 70% is what I would term generously low especially for someone who is in a position where they should know this shit. Of course when it comes to the people I work with, I'm often amazed by just how little they do know. Oh and I would wager to say that very few in this office even know what Access is let alone how to use it effectively which is a real shame because it could make tons of things so much easier. What really makes me laugh though is when these things come up, there's always someone who'll make some sort of comment about me taking the test for them. Um shyah I don't think so.
Well, that about does it for me today. Lunchtime is almost over anyway. I know - dud post today but what can I say, it's been a fairly slow day so far. Maybe tomorrow will bring something a little more exciting.
Til next time....
