Yay! I actually finished work early today, mostly due to the fact that two of my regularly scheduled tasks did not have to be done by me (whoa, major passive voice). I'm still puzzled about the disappearance of one of my tasks - the dude who normally gives me the data to input isn't here today, but last time he went missing, someone else gave me the data. But today, there is no data! ("There is no data" reminds me of my LA neighbor's wireless router name - thereisnotry; it took me forever to figure out what that said - the reis notry? (huh?) there is notry (wtf?) ... ok, random stupid tangent.)

Anyway, on a work-related topic - Everday, I have to check up on these different websites to grab information that I need off of them, and everday, those websites have to be updated by the God of Website Updates. Otherwise, the information isn't current and is of no use to me! Most websites are good at providing up-to-date information; I can just go to my bookmarks, click, and voila! Information! There are a couple of exceptions, though, and those just bug me. Bugs the crap out of me because I have to sit there and constantly refresh to see if the data's been updated (because I know it will be! I will it to be!). Refresh, nope, refresh, nope, refresh, nope, refresh, nope, refresh, YESSSSSS! Thank you God of Website Updates! PRINT! That's basically what goes on in the mind - I feel a sense of happiness and elatedness when I see the date that I want, that I need. That sounds so wrong. Why is my happiness dependent on a measly date? Why do I have to sit here and click the refresh button a bajillion times? Why can't these websites just update their information earlier on, like everyone else so that I don't have to keep on clicking refresh?! Why do some websites not update at all, making me have to do more work the next day because I have to find the data for the previous day and the current day?!?! A;LKSJAD;LKJDAF - can you sense my frustration? I just want to smack the computer when the websites aren't updated.

Yes, it bugs. Bugs me bugs me bugs me! And I hate bugs.

Oh yes, and I also have to constantly refresh my e-mail to check if I've received info via the God of E-mails. Oh man, my whole day can be spent refreshing. Refresh! Refresh! Refresh! YES! DATA!!!!

On a much happier note, I bought Mario Kart for my DS. It's so fun! Too bad no one else I know in Taiwan has a DS so that we can play multiplayer. It's so much fun to hit other people with red, green, blue shells and make them trip over your bananas, especially when it's people you know. They start cursing at you and retaliating and then you curse back and retaliate. Woo! Talk about fun times - I remember playing it on the Gamecube with my Roomie and wasting hours and hours that should've been spent studying and doing homework. Muahaha. Can't wait to play some more when I get home!
