I know I haven't been around here in forever.
Well, obviously new design on http://onestarrynight.com (awaits any and all praise...) which I like to think is a touch better than the green one.
I filed my taxes and was beyond shocked at the oh so glorious refund I shall be receiving in two weeks. I plan on purchasing the sigma 10-20mm lens, I want a macro lens but unsure of which one I like best although I know I want something in the 100-150mm range, the sb-600 flash, and a new camera bag, probably the Crumpler 6 million. What other photography gear would you suggest? Or what suggestions do you have for a wide angle lens and a macro lens?
I am also, finally, going to be in the market for a laptop so any and all suggestions would be nice. I fix them lol but I've always owned desktops so I'm not sure really what I even WANT in a laptop. Well, spec wise I do to a point... 2gb ram, AMD TL-60 or TL-64 processor, 250gb hdd, and at least a halfway decent video card. What I can't decide on is brand or size. I know I do not want a Sony and I have issues with Toshiba. I will admit I do want something pretty which falls into the HP area and I have used HP desktops for over 10 years now. I really would appreciate any suggestions or perhaps what kind of laptop you own and what you like/dislike about it.
I also plan on giving my sister $500 to pay off one of her credit cards, $150-200 for her baby (we find out if the baby is a boy or girl tomorrow!!!), some sort of present for her fiance, and naturally all sorts of stuff for my son. Although all he seems to want is a video game.
Well, naturally, here's a photo. Yay for glitter.
Can I just say, I love working with elderly people. Today after helping one patron order 3 books, she rummaged in her purse and pulled out an individually wrapped Creme Saver. Somehow, I get the impression she does this regularly! I've been inspired!

It's actually not that bad. My actual job is listed as #8. I find #7 pretty amusing seeing as how I don't wear make-up, but I suppose that doesn't mean I couldn't put it on other people...
We're having "purple day" at work next Friday, because our company color is, you guessed it - purple. So this means we should not only wear purple, but be creative in how we do so. Naturally, I'm on the hunt for purple shoes. A few years ago I actually had a pair of 10-eye purple Dr. Martens, but they were a bit on the small side, so I eventually got rid of them. Earlier today, I was regretting that decision, until I found these:
There's a really nice girl who works in an area of the building near me, and she always says hi, but she thinks my name is Wendy. I don't have the heart to tell her it's Whitney. I never see her for more than a few seconds at a time, so I figure it's okay. Though, if someone eventually corrects her, that could be embarrassing...
However, I think this situation is marginally better than my sophomore year of high school when one of the peer counselors called me "Courtney" for about 2 months because I was too shy to correct him.
At least "Wendy" is close...

And that's about it, because I live just a few blocks away from my favorite taqueria, which supplies everything else!
I have a job! A real job! No more contracting! I signed an offer on Friday!
Today is my first day of work as a real employee.
Now if I could just get rid of this badge that says "CONTRACTOR" in big red letters, I'd feel even better.
I have been persuaded to join the Relay for Life event in August at Skyline High School.

We're fun people and at least one team member will be celebrating a birthday, so
there will most likely be cake or cupcakes or something else really excellent to help
us pass the time.
At work, my group is in their own little room, but we're next to the sales training team. Who do training. So they provide food for the trainees. Lots of food. Guess what they do with the leftovers? They put it in the kitchen. Free food for the taking!
About half an hour ago, there was stuffed french toast, sausage, and bacon. I am not kidding when I tell you that I RAN to the kitchen. Because, Hello! Bacon!
I'm going to gain 10 pounds while working here.
This is the only one of those myspace memes I have found worth reposting. And rather than keep it just for me and those in my circle, I'm posting it for the world to see. Who knew these things could be so accurate??
