| | So whats the countdown at? I refuse to look at it. Its the mental weight that just reminds me how long the days are. Remove it? NEVER! Just knowing im almost done to want a countdown is good enough. I did manage to get some toys this week to help smother the flame of anxiety which included: two computer games and....
My iPod. Yesterday it arrived in the mail with my cool little case. The first thing i noticed was how small this thing is. Ive never seen a Nano and reviews werent exaggerating. I opened the box and held my breathe as not to blow it away. I did manage to drop it in the trash within the first 30 minutes of playing with it. I hope thats not an omen, but after it took me the rest of the evening to get it to work properly, im starting to believe its destined to end in the dump sooner than i want. The first hour of getting my new toy was like going on a date with Natalie Portman. Id be so super pumped, only to get annoyed half way through date and make me want to return her to Israel. To give you a quick rundown: When i connected the iPod it asked me if i wanted to create a playlist since all my songs wouldnt fit on 8 gigs. So i hit yes. Well later on i decided, "thats stupid, ill just check the ones i want to sync" and thus proceeded to delete the playlist from iTunes. DO NOT DO THIS. After i deleted the playlist i couldnt connect my iPod and I kept getting an error saying, "folder not found, the disk cannot be read or written to." Or something like that. As much as i saw that error youd think i would of memorized it. Anyways, i scoured the apple support site trying to find a way to fix this, all the while cursing to myself, "way to go asshole, you knew better, you did, and now look what happened." To make this story shorter, i got it working well enough to sync to. But its such a roundabout way of doing it, that its such a hassle. Besides that, this thing is cool.
This is a small little update, but there isnt a whole lot to talk about. Work has been the same ol' same ol' as usual. Supposedly our replacements should be getting here soon. This means we have to train them for a couple days, then sit around and let them do the work. OK with this guy. Its also been getting pretty cool here. The days are still warm, but the nights and mornings are starting to require long pants and shirts. Definitely a change from Kuwait where my skin would combust just thinking about going outside. But im out, take care, and dont delete the default playlist.
