(no subject)

All in all, I'm quite satisfied with the way in which I've rearranged my room. Where my computer desk used to be in the corner of the room, now it's along the center of one wall, with my DVD and VHS racks occupying the spot where it used to be. I've moved my big old chair from the middle of the room where it used to be over to a spot against the wall by the door, and moved some shelves that used to be where the computer desk is now over to where the DVD and VHS racks used to be. It's a relatively small change, but now I begin to understand where the idea of Chinese feng shui came from: just moving a bit of furniture here and there makes it seem like the room is bigger. It's not so closed in, and doesn't have that big chair breaking up the flow of things. There's a lot of room in the middle once again, the chair is facing somewhere useful, and I've got the surround speakers positioned so that the whole room is filled with music. The room's feng shui has improved a great deal, as has its Sims Room score. :)

Today is when Veteran's Day is observed, but I hadn't heard anything about not coming in for work, so I guess I'm working through it. If it's as not-busy as a lot of holidays tend to be (and it looks like it might be, given how many businesses will be closed today), I might get sent home early, though I'm not sure if I'd go given the chance. Money and stuff, don't you know.

Better go ahead and close this out and get to work. At least it's a "short" day already, by my 11-hour-day standards.

Got the Phone

Well, I got the new GSM cellphone. And true to a comment I got a while back, I found that the service map indicates it's not gonna be useful many places outside of metropolitan areas around here. Well, on the bright side, 99% of the time I'm not outside of those metropolitan areas. And perhaps eventually I'll get a dual-mode phone that will work in TDMA areas too.

Anyway, if you want to send me text messages to help me try out the new phone thing, you can use Livejournal's built-in text message thingie to send me one. Include a phone number of a mobile device if you have one and maybe I'll text message back.
