Busy Day

Today, I plan to leave work a lit­tle early so I can give blood before Blood­source closes at 5. That’ll be cool. This makes 5 trips, and that means I get a free pen, in addi­tion to a free pint of blood.

My new computer

It’s here!! It came! They charged me for it. I’m on it right now! Ok, so I didn’t get a mon­i­tor because rly­con­fused told me not to, and I have his giant crc on my desk. He’s right, it does kind of do blurry things which makes my eyes feel funny, but it works. It’s kind
