The 23,000
I’m writing this in word because my internet usage was second most in the department. During a certain time period which I will not mention since it really sounds bad for me to be at so many web sites in that time period, I visited 23,000 sites. And, really, I’m not really in second place as far as I’m concerned, because in first place with 59k is an office of 4 other guys.
When the director told my boss, he told him not to get onto me about it. I think because I’m pretty good at keeping all the stuff I’ve been told to keep up with done. But, really, there is a massive load of crap which has partially hit the fan, a piece of crap that I’m not associated with, and since this crap is so large, it will take a very long time for all of it to hit the fan, so less chaos is better.
I blame Lauchcast. And, nicely enough, when I was informed, I was using my two unique-to-me programs in a way that really helps my department, and no knows how to use them. Also, I had Launchcast streaming. So, around every three minutes, a new page would load when it plays a new song. But, hey, to get 23k hits from that alone it would take…
23000 hits x 3 min/hit x 1hr/60min x 1week/40hrs = 29 weeks
And, uh, this wasn’t 29 weeks. So, I’m keeping my internet usage to a minimum just so I’ll be below someone else. TC was 21k. I think Labman was 13k. And, oddly third place (really fourth) was a maintenance fellow that I’d think would the the last person to be web savvy. Princess Fluffy was also in the top 10. As was my boss. He claimed his was 6k, but Labman actually saw the report and it was 9k.
Also, I had to go back through and change all the parts where I had written 24k for mine into 23k, since I forgot that the original number I was told by my boss wasn’t actually accurate.
Another Good Nina Day
Nina was great yesterday. She’s a happy baby. We ran the risk of letting her have refried beans and some Spanish rice last night with out meal. She loves refried beans, and, you know, it’s probably the cheapest babyfood out there, really. She didn’t have an upset tummy. Just to make sure I stopped halfway through our meal and gave her some gas relief drops. I’m wondering if the hurty stomach screaming she did on Monday and Tuesday were due to getting her antibiotic after her meal rather than with it. But we’ve done that before. Who knows? Also, we don’t have to give her the antibiotic anymore, woot!
