So, I said I was going to blog earlier about these things but I never got around to actually doing it.
- Daylight Savings time confused the heck out of me. Saturday I was going to a Scavenger hunt with the College group from my church and we were going to meet at one of the leader's house at 5pm. Well, before I was going to leave, I decided to download some old DOS games I used to play as a child: Secret Agent, Jill of the Jungle, and Crystal Caves. When I got them downloaded (which only took about 15 seconds, seriously.) I decided to play one until I had to leave. I got into about the 4th room in Crystal Caves when I decided to see what time it was on my laptop. I looked down and...5:10pm. I freaked out knowing that I had to meet at the house at 5pm and I was late! I quickly got all my stuff together and started shutting down my computers and called the leader. "I'm SOOO sorry I'm late! I just lost track of time and...I'll be there as soon as I can!" The leader laughed and said that it was okay. I had time and I could leave in 15 minutes if I wanted. Then I got kind of confused and said that I'd rather leave now so I could get there as soon as I could and he said that it was fine. "Wait...what time is it?" "4:15pm," he answered. What the--um....WHAT??! Apparently my clock said it was 5:15pm March 8, 1908 and it thought Daylight Savings had already taken place. Yeah...the dang DOS game did that to my computer while installing it.
- Oh also, one of my partners at work told me that he liked me and wanted to hang out more. Last Saturday he asked if I was working this Friday or Saturday and when I told him I wasn't sure he went over to the schedule to check. Then he came back and said, "Don't make any plans for Saturday night. Don't call me, I'll call you," and then walked away. I guess I had a dumbfounded look on my face because I looked up and my manager was standing right there as well with the same look on her face. I shrugged, kind of disturbed he'd tell me to not make plans on one of my only hang out days. So, a couple days pass by and I realize that I really don't know if I led this guy on or not but the fact is that I don't want any relationship with him so I decide to wait until Monday when he works with me to talk to him. I wake up Monday and get to work at 4:30am and he's not there. The manager and I finish getting things ready and an hour passes by and he still hasn't shown up. This is his third time to be late: termination. I feel horrible because I smile when I think about it. I feel extremely horrible for the grin I had on my face. I left before he came in to talk to the manager about it and haven't talked to him since. I'm not sure if I will before Saturday. I really wouldn't mind it if I didn't.

Heh, yea, I was wondering why you freaked out like that. You had me worried!
You're getting really good with the hands thing, you should really look at how quickly you've picked it up after concentrating. You're a gifted person, Janey.
