Got a job done with today, that's been hanging over my head for a long time. One of those that kept me with a bad conscious. I didn't particularly want to do it in the first place, but I agreed anyway, because I always try my best to help out. The job was creating a website, something I'm not particularly adept in when push comes to shove. Modify existing stuff, check. Creating stuff from scratch.. not cool. But I managed to pull it off after months of back and forth. And as payment, I get a new laptop. One I pick out for myself. Some people could argue that I don't really have anything special to use a laptop for, and while I sometimes agree with that statement, I must admit, having a laptop that is speedy and smooth does have advantages. I'm at work now, for example, and if the laptop I have with me was faster, I might be able to do more stuff on it than just blog, chat and surf. I'd like to anyway.
So that job is out of the way. Splendid. Got a few more annoying tasks I need to complete, then I'm almost back to status quo in terms of things hanging over my head. Looking forward to it. It was a load off completing this today. I'll need to do a little more when proof reading comes back, but it's done, designwise. And it's my last day in a 5 night working streak, with 4 days off in front of me. It's sweet, all in all.
New laptop tho... can you believe it? I'm looking quite forward to it. The fun I can have with a brand new piece of equipment. Marie tried to convince me to buy a macbook. I told her my needs differed from hers. 5 minutes and a lot of sexual innuendo later, I think she realized that our needs were indeed different. So she let the macbook go. I used to dislike macs just because they were macs. I'm not like that anymore. I know lots of the reasons people would use macs, and that's fine. I just don't think they will ever be my choice in computer hardware. I just don't dig it, kno' wut I'm sayin'? PC laptop with a dual boot of Winblows XP and Ubuntu will do me up quite nicely. mmmm new hardware... weeeeee
