realsorienWe'll start with the good. Last night we had a small movie party, watching one truly atrocious film called Vampires Vs. Zombies, followed by the short feature on the same disc called 'Heads Are Gonna Roll', and rounded out by the palate-cleansing Dr. Horrible's Musical Blog. Attending were myself, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zxizaraxii, joshuwain, khirsahdrgn, mirrdae and feezlekahn. ataramos joined in on the food but didn't watch the show.
joshuwain made spaghetti sauce, which was combined with the requisite pasta and browned cubed sirloin to round out the meal, mozzarella and parmesan cheese being available as well as good chewy french bread. I made the sirloin, which was simply cubed, breaded with seasoned flour and fried.
It was a good evening, and at this point the cleanup is pretty much done. The plan is to do this more often, whether with a meal or just snackage.
Other than that, I got the tree down and packed away.
Now, the bad. At work we've been til now able to 'cheat' and bring in computers and such, and we abused the privilege by connecting to the internet. Now this would have been tolerable IF my coworkers had a single clue as to what they were doing. Apparently, someone managed to knock the entire net-connection for the Comm Center off line for the entire day today. So, the bosses know of the misdeeds of the guards now, and ALL privileges have been revoked. No computers in the office, no books, no nothing. Which means people falling asleep is going to increase exponentially. It also means that I'm going to start looking for another account, as without at least something vaguely 'nice' available, it's a hellhole.
I admit that this is partially my fault. I was stupid enough to listen to coworkers, INCLUDING one of the supervisors, who said that 'as long as we're surreptitious, no problem'. Well, now its a problem. At least I can honestly say that I wasn't a cause of the disaster, just a participant in misdeeds.
So this means I'll not be online for the foreseeable future from work, and it also means I'll likely not be doing much in terms of writing either, at least til I work out how to focus on it here at home with all the distractions here.
Am I complaining? Nope. We fucked up. No doubt. But I'm also not staying at Baker if I can help it. I've worked night shift long enough to KNOW you have to have something to keep you going. Even if its just a little music or a magazine or whatever. Maybe I'll try to get back in at Riverplace- no internet, but I'd be able to have the laptop. And tunes for that matter. I'll check into it on Monday after my shift. I may call Riverplace and talk to the supervisor there and see if they need someone too, today. We'll see what happens.

Date: 2009-01-31 02:00 pm (UTC)As to where I was the last couple of nights... I was on my weekend and I didn't hop on to FM late is all. Last night I was just kinda frazzy and dozy and ended up crashing around 3:30 AM. So tonight at work might be... Interesting. I'll handle it tho.
I'm just getting real tired of stupidity. All people had to do was be careful and use reasonable caution and there'd have been no issues. Besides, Baker has other problems that are equally if not more annoying- I have to park on the street (meters, I have to get out to my car before 8 AM or risk a ticket) because a guard 10 years ago pissed someone off in management, no music (not even a muzak system), the office is dimly lit (which makes it that much harder to stay awake) and the list goes on. So yeah, I'm going to find somewhere else.
