This morning my coworker and I were suppose to meet a unit at 1000 to help load some software on a few handhelds. However they weren’t there when we showed up. The funny thing was that they called 4 times yesterday morning when we were at another site, obviously not in the office. So while I was at lunch yesterday one of the soldiers from that unit came up to me and said that they had been trying to get a hold of us and that it was really important they get it done soon. If it was so important and critical I think they should have been there this morning. I suppose that’s the army… they get called away at a moment’s notice to perform other duties. I understand but it’s still a little irritating. We have an appointment tomorrow at 1000 :)
Because the unit wasn’t there we left and I asked my coworker if we could stop by the office supply show that I hadn’t been in to and there were other little shops around it. I went into the office store and there really wasn’t anything. They did have the ink I was looking for, but I had already ordered it online for $20….. Guess how much they wanted…$80!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could buy a freaking printer for that price back home. It took everything I had not to start laughing. Anywhoo then I went into a store that looked like it had some actual nice clothes and it did. I bought a button up shirt, tank top, shorts, and sunglasses that have foam behind the lenses for sand. The kid who was running the shop at that time was quite the bargainer, funny, and nice. He even gave me and my coworker cokes :) yea I cheated today but it was one of the original ones in the glass bottle and it was a very nice gesture. Prices aren’t that bad… knowing me I’ll go back, because the PX doesn’t have crap for women’s clothing, they have underwear and shirts. After I left that shop I went into a store that sells 100% Turkish crystal. The sets are very beautiful, needless to say I found my mother’s Christmas gift. I did call her though and asked if she still liked crystal just to be sure ;0) The shop has absolutely gorgeous leather bound writing journals and photo albums. I bought a photo album, I couldn’t resist…. Not something you’d find at home. Once I get my charger for my camera I’ll take a picture.
Speaking of pictures… I got my ink in for the printer in the office and nice glossy premium photo paper. I was super duper excited that finally I get to print pictures! About 20 mins later that was shot the heck down. When the coworker who had left sold me his printer I knew that the feeder worked when it wanted to, other than that it made a loud grinding noise and not feed the paper. At the time I was alright with that because it still printed from the main paper bed. I got the photo paper in the printer… hit print and bam… GRIND GRIND, error paper jam. Needless to say I was pissed! So now Im going to buy a hp compact photo printer like I have at home that prints just 4x6 photos. They have a much newer model out than the one I’ve got back home and it’s only $75. I can still use the ink I bought to print my regular documents and I’m going to donate the photo paper to the hospital.
While walking around today various times I saw a big beetle, orange and white cat, and a yellow spider that looked like a tarantula! I haven’t seen any of this in the 17 days until today…. Weird. It’s a good thing the kitty ran off, because I know I can’t pet it. If I got close I know I would want to and it would remind me of my kitties back home.
After work I came back to my room and worked out on the wii for about 40mins! Apparently my balance is way the heck off… hehehehe. My BMI went from 27 to 26 and apparently I lost 2 pounds. I doubt the loosing 2 pounds is true because it just might be from not eating much yesterday with a upset tummy.
Well I’m going to now eat my dinner and watch a few episodes of Californication before bed. I just started watching Californication a few days ago and now I’m freaking hooked!!!
