I went out and bought myself a new keyboard for use at work.

It is a model k780 from Logitech. It is really silent and I hope to be able to type away on it without my boss getting all nosey as to what I’m typing away on. The keyboards we have now are too clattery if you know what I mean. She is just such a nosey bitch. Did I mention part of my job requires me to travel through the building to collect and disperse IT equipment? Well, every time I leave she comes by my desk and pushes in my chair as some sort of time check to see when I get back as it makes a squeaky noise, that she can hear, when moved.

Last week I filled out three new job applications on Monday but didn’t do any more for the rest of the week. Since it’s been a week I hope to do about that many again tomorrow.

The next thing I’m going to buy is this toy… I am putting together a raspberry pi system and am going to hide it on my desk so I can do some now quiet typing and flash my screen back when I hear her coming. Now I know what you are thinking, “Do work stuff while you are at work.” Well, I do. I just also do personal stuff as well. My duties have never suffered and if I get stuff done quickly and accurately then why shouldn’t I get to utilize my bonus time in a fun type fashion? It’s called making me enjoy being there.

I mean I work for the State of California. Tell me they are accurate and timely and I will call you a liar. Again I do my stuff on time and often have to wait for the other parts of the system to catch up to me. Why shouldn’t I try to keep myself happy and motivated as possible when there? Life is not about doing what you can for others all the time. Sometimes you need to be in your own happy mental place as well in order to be the there for others. By keeping me stressed out over stupid stuff all you are doing is diminishing my overall productivity. Trust me she is full of stupid stuff. Look back through my archives to around Oct 30th where she tried to charge me vacation time to donate blood at work.

As it is right now I have to log every time I get up from my desk into my work calendar. Yes, that includes pee breaks.

Sooo…. yes I’m going to keep myself happy any way I can. 🙂
