Everybody's Working for the Weekend

I keep meaning to blog in the evening when I'm home from work, but I work on the computer all day, so by the time that I come home, the last thing I want to do it get on the computer. So I decided to utilize my lunch break and computer access to write a short entry about my new job.

I've aquired a temp position doing graphic design for a company in Rock Hill, SC. It's not so bad of a drive in the mornings, because I'm happily sipping my coffee and listening to the radio, but the drive home is brutal. There is no coffee and no good radio. It's been almost a year since we bought a new CD so all of the music is old and tired... which is much the way that I feel sitting in traffic on 485 for over an hour.

I like the place that I'm working and love the variety of things they have me doing. I'm working on a new Dell system, straight out of the box, which has made me realize one thing specifically. Our computer at home, is incredibly slow. It's a pleasure designing on a system that can keep up with me. As great as everyone says a Mac is for design, on my last assignment, I used a Mac and couldn't keep the thing up and running for more than 45 minutes without a crash. Now all of you Mac Nazi's out there are going to say that it was some sort of conflict or that I should reinstall the Mac OS, but who has time for all of that crap with a deadline looming ahead. The PC, well then... it's been working just fine. And guess what else? I can even right click.

I also have to add that today, while taking a break on the outdoor patio at work which backs up to several acres and woods, I saw two baby deer, (with spots) come out of the woods. They watched me with suspision for a while and even came close enough to that I started to get a little nervous. Probably about 20 feet away. I was rummaging in my purse for my badge to get back in, because I was a little bit worried that two wild animals would be coming so close to me and I think maybe they thought I had food. I bet if I had, they would have eaten right out of my hands.
