...you go to start your computer and realize that the monitor has blown out. Thankfully, I had an identical one sitting on the desk behind me, although I am not sure how I am going to explain something as simple as a monitor blowing out to my boss. Chances are he is going to assume that I was deliberately trying to ruin the monitor so that it would be ruined. Nice. My house is freezing! I ran out of firewood on Friday, and haven't had the gumption or determination it would take to shovel a path to the snowbank that was formally known as the woodpile, and haul some in. So I have been relying on the electric heat that we never use to keep me warm. It isn't working. I laid in bed last night, with copious amounts of blankets on my bed, alternating the hand that I would use to hold my book, because it was too cold to just use one hand....real cute. But the sun is shining this morning so maybe I will venture out and stop being lazy. The countdown to a new job is starting....Two months starting February 1. I am really starting to panic that I am not going to find anything. My experience here has done nothing to further the skill base that I learned in university. Basically when I am finished here, I will have the credentials of a glorified office assistant (with excellent procrastination skills, and a great knack for wasting time on the internet)....kinda far from the Aquatic Biologist that I studied to become. But c'est la vive I suppose. Just keep your fingers crossed that I find something, and that it either warms up, or I learn how not to be a spoiled brat and go and get some wood to keep me warm!
