Nose to the Grindstone, Ear to the ipod

posted in Lawyering and the Like, WOTWIFLI |

Another Sunday in the office.  And our document management program isn’t working, which means I can’t access any of my documents.  If I were a crier, I’d be on the verge of tears.  Sigh.  If this keeps up, Monday will be truly horrific.  WOTWIFLI:  vicissitude.  As in, days like today are just part of the vicissitudes of life.

Bought an ipod this weekend, basically because everyone else had one.  Plus, a little part of me was hoping that it would inspire me to go to the gym more.  I had no idea how many accessories were vital to keeping the little monster happy.  I’ve named it Apple, partly because it is green and partly because, well, its made by Apple. 

My Roomie went with me to buy Apple.  On the drive back from the store, I asked her a question about how to operate my new ipod.  She showed me hers and explained its features.  I, completely forgetting what inspired my question, commented with all sincerity, “Wow, I wish I had one of those.”

    You’re so cute, Y! Is it an iPod-mini? If so, you should invest in an armband as well so you can strap it to yourself while exercising. Hands free! Hope you didn’t have a “case of the Mondays.” 🙂

    KQ – Yes, it’s an ipod mini. I still love it. Having it at work makes the incredibly long hours a little more bearable. I’m now on a quest to buy more songs! KA – I thought about naming her granny smith or golden delicious, but am frankly not a fan of green apples and didn’t want to name Apple after apples I don’t particularly like. G – I guess there’s a benefit to never being on the forefront of anything after all. I always end up with the newest stuff just about the time everyone else has moved on to something cooler. =)
