i did it and other misc crap

i know that i've been AWOL lately, so here's a decent update.

i saw the ENT today. after the appointment, i came home and contacted the insurance company and scheduled surgery to remove my tonsils and adenoids on august 23. BLEH! the doc told me to take 2 weeks off of work, so i emailed my manager to get that on the books ASAP. the statistics look really good for people with great results after having the surgery, so i hope that i have the same experience. i am *SO* sick of being sick.

i also talked to my grandmother today. she had a CAT scan on her heart today in preparation for a heart catheterization procedure that will be done a week from wednesday. hopefully everything will go well with that. i was able to tell her that grandpa's watch is done so that made her happy.

i also decided to live on the edge and buy a desk over the weekend (which i've been talking about doing for the last year or so). i like the elfa desk that adam has and i had an elfa drawer unit that i wanted out of the closet, so i bought the legs and desk top. of course my old lamp wouldn't clip properly to the new desk, so we went over to staples so i could get a small desk lamp. it's nice having more space. it's a little sucky that it is gobbling up more space in the office, but i think it will be really great. i think adam is going to list my old anthro spacepal and printer cart furniture on expo.

in my ongoing battle with technology, i've come to the conclusion that my new booky is awesome. i bought a laptop sleeve for him online in a pretty peacock color from timbuk2. the old sleeve that i bought from the australian foof people is too small (the powerbook was 15" and the macbook pro is 15.4").

work is still great. i'm excited at the amount of ongoing training that occurs. i don't know if i've ever worked ANYWHERE that did this much training. i don't have any extra training this week, but i've got 6 hours over 2 days next week in addition to my normal shifts.

we also signed another 1 year lease over the weekend, so we'll be here through at least aug 31, 2007.
