When I got to work today, my email did not work. Our email had been moved to a new server, but my profile was not updated. I asked IT for help. When they asked me where I was, I told them what floor I was on. Then they got mad at me because they meant "What stage of the 'moving to exchange server' process are you currently at?" I was not aware I needed to read minds for this job.

I was told someone would come fix the problem "today" which did me a lot of good because I needed to "work" and that meant accessing my email "today". Luckily I caught an IT person wandering around early in the morning and told him to fix it.

It wasn't until after he left that I learned that I can't send internal emails anymore. That problem will, of course, be fixed "today". In the mean time, I am killing a lot of trees.

The whole day is frustrating me. I have free chocolate and lotion that was being given out to keep us from killing IT. It doesn't not help the homicidal rage, but the lotion makes it hard to hold a knife.
Silly me to try to install something on my computer. Now I've got a program that won't show me when it's running and has blocked off my access to my other desktops. I'll have to ask ben what I did wrong this time.

Bleh. I took a nap after work and I feel really horrible. I knew I'd get nasty stuff in my throat is I took a nap. :( I don't know if it's worth coughing the stuff up since I plan on going back to bed soon anyway.

Also in line with my disappointment for today, I signed up for a folder at the comic book shop. It was a bit of a battle. They wanted 5 ongoing titles before signing me up. That's pretty tough for me since I prefer limited runs. I only had 4 ongoing titles. (And 3 limited ones.) To get what I wanted I acted super sweet and nice while asking for an exception. It worked, though they tried to talk me into getting another title. I politely told them I'd think about trying it out and if I liked it I would add it to the list. And I don't even get a discount! You need 10 titles for that. My comic shop in new orleans (More Fun Comics) spoiled me with their wonderfulness. Their folder demands weren't so strict and they gave discounts just for having a folder. Plus they were always super nice to me. (They would sometimes give me discounts before I had a folder just for being a regular.) I'm thinking of writing them a letter to tell them how much I miss how fantastic they were. Would that be too weird? Something short that says something like, "I moved 2 years ago but I still miss how nice and fantastic you guys were. The comic shops around here are nowhere near as nice." That's not too weird, right? :P

[EDIT] Last night there was a horrible scary noise outside. It's back tonight. I'm not sure I can walk my dog.
