Oct. 24th, 2009 10:17 amThe weather is rainy and cold and horrible, so tenative plans to go to the beach and watch the waves roll in (shut up, I like long walks on the beach, and it's free after Labor Day) have been scrapped in favor of housecleaning and possibly going to see an afternoon matinee of Astro Boy despite the middling reviews it's been getting.
In other news, I came back from the field on Friday to find that I had gotten a new computer at work! Okay, so it's not a brand-new one — that went to our GIS specialist — but I got his old computer, which so far has proven to be a total speed demon compared to my old one. Mind, my old computer was so slow that I had developed a morning routine where I could make myself a mug of tea, fill up my water bottle, and xerox any maps needed for the day all while waiting for it to finish logging me in.
