So, the fun train just took a detour straight through the land of idioticpeoplewithnomanners.

I had a day off and when I came back tonight someone had rearranged my work station (personal pictures and all) and traded my half way decent monitor for a crap one that was at a station that wasn't being used.

---> coworkers
and a few of these for good measure

so you rearranged all of their stuff and moved your monitor back, right?
I think their stuff would've been rearranged into the trash, or in a way that formed the words "don't touch my stuff."

Wacky people.

No, they did away with the "extra" monitor all together. I simply left a note on top of my desk that said "LEAVE THINGS ON MY DESK WHERE THEY ARE! YOU HAVE YOUR OWN SPACE, STAY OUT OF MINE" In much sadder news, the evil big brother took away our internets today. They can't actually expect for me to get anything done now can they? I mean my only motivation for completing tasks before was that once I finished a project or got to a certain point with filing I would reward myself with internet time. I can chat and alphabatize and the same time. Now I can't even read my email at lunch time!

Ouch, that sucks. We've had several problems with our net, but it always came back. Are you sure it's not a temporary thing?

Trying to stick to looking at the bright side of things:

Without the internet, you won't really miss the better monitor

Lots of fresh motivation to seek out a better job and/or a new location. After all, that job's been

inducing for a while.

Forcing somebody to work at a computer all day and not allow them internet access should be banned as the cruelest form of torture that it is. I know I've been there before.

In those kinds of situations I often find retreating into a fantasy world of my own devising helps lessen the pain somewhat.

The last thing you want to do now is get anything done. That'll just convince whichever empty suit that took away your internets to do even more annoying things in the name of productivity. :shudder:

It finally snowed yesterday! It's still snowing now. It's very pretty, especially from the confines of my not quite warm bedroom. Damn it, I refuse to let the holiday bug bite. I am very proud of myself. I still have my Halloween decorations up. I m ight, maybe be a bit less scrooge this year and put santa hats on the skeletons and ghosties.

p.s. This thread is moving entirely too slow.
p.p.s. I've been up for 21 hours now... anyone have spare sleep I can borrow?

Not just for making snow angels at 4am. If there are other factors involved, then maybe.

Have some of my sleep, I actually got a bit this weekend.

actually that seems like too much effort at the moment. still people sawing and hammering on the outside of the house when i have had 2 hours of sleep is a REALLY bad start to my day. ive cranked up VH1 for now, that should at least drive them out of their minds long enough to sneak up on them. after caffeine. i must have caffeine.
