miko2Or however the song goes. ^_^
Today was a sucky day. Or was it?
I woke up an hour/hour and a half early to an alarm going off. Didn't get back to sleep. That generally puts me in a bad mood, lack of sleep.
My left contact was ripped. I guess it got caught on the case lid when I put them away last night. Grrr.
On the other hand, replacement was only $32.00. I was expecting more like $60 or $80. I have to wear my glasses until it comes in, and that annoys me, but I can deal with it.
I found out that I screwed up Gary and Tim at work. See, I share a computer with Gary who works in the daytime... and for a while I've been putting up anime wallpapers, which I change every month or two. At first I picked ones that were sexy that I figured Gary wouldn't mind too much, but a month or so ago I got tired of that and picked a Card Captor Sakura one. Very cute little girl in a frilly dress. I knew it would probably annoy Gary, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
Then yesterday, I saw that he'd changed everything. There was a picture of baseball players. Well, I figured he was entitled, but when I sat down to work I realized he'd selected a desktop theme set -- different colors, icons, cursors, the works. Most of it really annoyed me, but I knew that Gary had put up with my wallpaper for a long time.
So I set myself up as a seperate user. Tim told me not to, it would mess everything up, but I checked that I could log in and log out, and that someone else could log in, and everything seemed fine.
But it wasn't fine -- Gary got locked out of our Accuterm program (the interface with all our network programs) for an hour and a half this morning, until Tim could figure out how to fix it by deleting the special user profiles. After talking to Tim about it, I think I know what happened: Gary logged in, it asked if he wanted to set up a user profile, he was probably confused, said yes, and then did not select the option to copy over all of his folders and icons, so he didn't have access to his normal stuff. Gary isn't very computer literate, so he wouldn't have known what the problem was.
Anyway, now we're not allowed to use the User Profile thing at all, and we can't use wallpaper images or whatever unless we play nice, or whatever. I was pretty angry about it at first, mostly at the stupid Microsoft program which is overly complex and does far more than I really want or need it to do. I'm just annoyed that I can't customize my desktop because I have to share with someone else. But after a while I got over it -- not like having a picture on your desktop makes a huge differnce in your life, really.
But for a while there, it just seemed like a nasty day, what with lack of sleep, being forced to wear my glasses when I didn't want to, etc.
One thing I've always been really grateful for is that I never get depressed about anything. I can't remember the last time I was seriously depressed -- probably years ago. Sometimes I feel bad, but you know, major depression, I almost never have to deal with it. When things go wrong, like today, I mostly get angry and feel hostile to the world in general, and I think, "I should just find another job where I can have my own computer, and any picture on my desktop that I want!" And then I get over it, because really, it's not like my life's a disaster. The vast majority of people, around the world and back through history, have had much harder lives than mine. ^_^
I was in a good mood by the end of the night. Played Flogging Molly on the drive home; it's hard not to be in a good mood when listening to them.
