All Better

So, in case you were wondering, my gloomy mood didn't last all weekend. :) I snapped out of it pretty quickly. No further posts because my laptop is still at the doctor. They called Friday and strong-armed me into giving them permission to re-format the hard drive. If anyone thinks that is actually possible that the battery corrupted the operating system, please tell me so I can stop feeling like I just lost all my data and software because of a real problem. As it is, I feel like I lost it either A) because they screwed up, or B) because they have a standard procedure to return the laptop to it's factory-approved condition. Or I suppose there's C) the computer sucks and every component is going to break.

Anyway, the weekend was fun. Saturday we went with Gavin's parents to see the Dead Sea Scrolls at the museum. That is some really, really old parchment. The exhibit was pretty nice, but it was not huge. They let too many people through at once - it was really crowded. I couldn't get close enough to stuff to see the numbers that I was supposed to be listening to on my little audio thing. Anyway, it's worth a trip.

Saturday night there was a going-away party for a co-worker who is going to school for a year. There were a lot of people that I know from my co-op days there that I don't see at all anymore. There's a reason for that. It was tiring.

Yesterday, I finished my Christmas shopping. Then we went to dinner at a place near home that is pretty good but is SO going to go out of business. Then we drove back into town to see Singing in the Rain. It was really good. They made it a lot like the movie. The girl that played Kathy is a bit shrill at times. That wouldn't be too bad normally, but since she's supposed to be the one with the nice voice it's a bit distracting. She was also very swoopy with her singing, which I'm not too fond of. This was definately the best TUTS performance of this year, though. Hair and A Chorus Line were disappointing. You couldn't understand anything in Hair, and A Chorus Line got a bit boring.

This week, work is going to be basically about clock watching. Which is worse than it sounds even, because I have to work Monday and Tuesday of next week as well. It feels like the last week before vacation, though.
