Slow Metamorphosis

I have started to be schooled on a lot of the programs that I will be using for my new position. So for the time being I am trying to learn as much as I can about Qu.ark, Pho.to.shop, X-Ta.gs, X-Da.ta, and Acc.ess. So I’m on the hunt for some tutorial books. In the meantime I need to put in a request to have the programs installed on my laptop so that I can practice at home and stuff. But best believe I am NOT trying to pay for it so if I put the bid in my boss has to get it approved by the Tech.nology Dept. lol. We will see how that goes.

I am still in the process of learning Mandarin Chinese. It’s actually not that bad. I have decided I need to be writing stuff down because apparently that helps me to retain it better. And its been working. I have a co-worker who is Chinese and she is thoroughly impressed with my pronunciation and said that she actually understands what I am saying which is a great thing. GO ME GO ME!

Don’t you know I have 50 million errands to run too in preparation for CHI-TOWN!! I am started taking out my braids and the entire middle is out but I have it back in a ponytail…I’m telling you looks can be so deceiving. The thing is I have been cruising the napp.tur.ality website as of late and I want to wear my own hair…but I still have a lot of the perm in and that sucks. I want to just cut it off but vanity won’t allow. I have a good amount of natural hair but I want to make sure that I can actually style it and with my summer hours and with me having to be at work at 8:30….plus not wanting to come to work looking all crazy… I just don’t have the time for all that. So when I finish taking the braids out today…I am going to have fun for the weekend at least wearing my own hair out and experimenting with styles. I figure I can go on Monday or Tuesday to get my cornrows put in. I am dying to go over to Car.ol’s Daugh.ter but I know I’m going to spend money in there!

Today is the first Friday since summer hour started and YAY I am out this BIOTCH at 12:30 YAY!!
