I got my new computer today, and I just set it up a couple of hours ago. I had to go back to the store and exchange my wireless adapter for one that worked, but now it's going like a dream. I've got all my files transferred over and my bookmarks redone on Firefox. Now I'm downloading the WoW game client, and when it's done we'll see how it runs. I'm very pleased with it so far. My monitor looks great. I need to get some speakers, though. Blah. Anyway, very glad it came in today. It was supposed to be yesterday, but I figured that Memorial Day might delay things a bit. It's an Asus Essentio with a Phenom II X6 processor in it and a one terabyte hard drive. Sweet little machine right out the box. Evil DM and Jana both approve. :D
Other than new computer, I got a bit of cool news from work. They're opening a new receptionist position back in the salon, basically answering the phone, booking appointments, and checking pets in and out. Lori asked me if I wanted it and told me I was the first person she thought of. I was a bit flattered, and I said yes. I'll be doing that mostly weekends, still cashier the rest of the time. Didn't come with a pay raise, but I wasn't expecting that. It just guarantees me more hours, and it sounds like something I'd like to do. Little cool, not big cool, but still cool.
Started reading Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris, which I borrowed from Steph at work. Nothing else new on the media front. Oh, wait, we did start watching American Pickers, which is kind of like the pawn/auction/antiquing shows. Two guys go around the US buying old stuff from private collectors for their store. They meet some really neat people and see the strangest things. I like it, but my inner neat freak is going, "Oh.MY.GOD.." Heh. So, it's a cool show. Anyway, I'm outta here for now. :P
