http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/gallery/0005hgyz.xml http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/gallery/0005hgyz A day in my life as of January 2007 http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002h8f9b.xml The first order of business for the day is taking the dogs outside. Let's see, well at least it didn't get any colder overnight. (It was literally 50 degrees when I went to bed.) http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002h8f9b.xml 26d4464322bf4859648043203e92dffe image/jpeg 800 600 92774 http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002h8f9b Needless to say, the dogs did their business rather quickly, and then came back in to go back to sleep. Lucky them! http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002h9w48.xml 57deef41256a16ef293df15d905cf22e image/jpeg 800 600 96312 http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002h9w48 Now it's time for my morning exercise. Here I can be seen doing 250 jumping jacks. Usually after that, I do push ups and crunches, but since I'm going skiing in March (and have never been), I am building up my thighs by doing squats instead. http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002ha8t0.xml 02ae95f5ce48d2a36d9156e116dea428 image/jpeg 800 600 59268 http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002ha8t0 And after the exercise, of course, comes the shower. What, you didn't think I was going to take a pic of myself /in/ the shower, did you? :P http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hbxdb.xml 2dbd1d7dc19605383d8012cc96908f5b image/jpeg 800 600 64827 http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hbxdb Oops! The sun's up, which means the Cardinals can see their reflection in my window! Which means they begin attacking the window. Much to the dogs' annoyance. http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hc1s4.xml 9fb4903b4e5f78ca6b2720ea0a7703bb image/jpeg 800 600 96501 http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hc1s4 Am I ready for work? I look ready.. http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hda4f.xml a5ea2259e3f5107fef2e0f52bce70c61 image/jpeg 800 600 66725 http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hda4f But before I can go to work, I have to stop at the store, for I have no food. Breakfast was Waldorf Salad, a beef and potato ball for second breakfast, and two frozen dinners for lunch and "tea." (As much as I would love to have a proper English teatime, in this case I'm using the term to mean "post-lunch, pre-dinner meal.") http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hebar.xml 016d57dc886176dd01b0e865940d1191 image/jpeg 800 600 75567 http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hebar And here's my desk. It's actually quite cozy, with lamps instead of overhead lights. I think it would look nicer with walls that were painted a rich color, like deep red or green, or something, but hey. http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hfr28.xml 36fb96d4c8383856dfdce8ba81dd5940 image/jpeg 800 600 49171 http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hfr28 Okay, now as far as taking a picture of myself every hour, seriously, how many pictures of me staring at my computer do you really want to see? I match receipts to expense reports, print things, fax things, mail things, sort things, file things.. all kinds of mundane administrative things that really don't make for interesting photos. http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hg654.xml 21fbfc83a15fd82b8043bc79365bba56 image/jpeg 800 600 93926 http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hg654 That's Jan on the left, and Kate on the right. They're two of my favorite people here. (Though there are other fun/cool people too!) I love my job! And apparently we all got the memo: Red shirt/black pants day. (I'm wearing a red shirt under the gray sweater.) http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hhbr7.xml a4dc9526d2deda005505eae9c78fda0e image/jpeg 800 600 61632 http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hhbr7 So here I am making lunch. How exciting! http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hka34.xml 0b32e75c63657aa8053a660655015d13 image/jpeg 800 600 65232 http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hka34 And yet more administrative duties, printing off agreements from last year for Jan. Woo! http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hpbeq.xml 6e70de91cc3a01f03fee91793012c751 image/jpeg 800 600 87671 http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hpbeq Finally it's time to go home. Whew! And luckily I love my car, so the 45 minute drive is enjoyable. http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hq43c.xml b50c33792da2abbd1941f5f6947184a6 image/jpeg 800 600 126824 http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hq43c And so what do I do as soon as I get home? ... Get back on the computer :P This time it's to play City of Heroes. Here I am talking to my pals in the Livejournal channel. We were discussing our sadness at the test server being down, since there was supposed to be a farewell party for one of the Official Forum moderators. Cricket was a great mod, and will be missed! Even if we didn't get to throw her a farewell bash. And Bubbleyumm had bought a suit of Cricket Armor for the party, too :( http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hr710.xml 78968d86241c1e2fcc18541186f705c4 image/jpeg 800 600 80577 http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hr710 My favorite part of Wednesday nights: HamiRaids! Hamidon is the biggest baddie in City of Heroes, and three times a week a bunch of heroes (60 to 100+) get together to take him down. http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hss5d.xml a7cffc8ee13a898dc9b44b9b25efacdc image/jpeg 800 600 84897 http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hss5d The raid's over, and I'm tired! Time to go to bed! http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002htxbe.xml 39a65ac6ed0c95ffca004fe50064ba48 image/jpeg 800 600 67258 http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002htxbe The dogs are already passed out... (Unfortunately I had to wake them out for one last walk outside, but that was pretty uneventful.) Good night! http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hwcd6.xml 8b838b2724185ba2cb85106c4d598652 image/jpeg 800 600 92047 http://pics.livejournal.com/kwsapphire/pic/002hwcd6
