Office Space, my office space to be more precise...

Well, there's good news and there's bad news. I'll tell you the bad news first.
Today, the Direct TV guy came. He told us that he could not install our dish because there is a very large tree in front of our balcony that would interupt the signal. He apoligized profusely and told us that if we got the tree trimmed down , but we would not be able to get local channels. Really, the only option is to cut the tree down completely. But, that is not an option at all. He told us we would have to get cable. So, I looked up the prices for cable and to get all the channels we would get with Direct TV we would have to pay twice as much. Well, that's a no. So, we decided we would just get basic, and I went online and made the order. Then, when I got to the end and had to confirm our installation appoint, the lady told me that service was not available at our address. What?!? I just want to watch television. I already had to give up Project Runway. Can't I at least get the network stations? Pure frustration.
The good news is that I love my job. I really do. When I originally got the job, I didn't think I would hate it. I just figured it would be a job. It would be interesting. I would get to learn something new. I figured it would be easy enough, that I would catch on pretty quickly. All of that is true. I have caught on pretty quickly. It's not too hard. But, I am challenged. I have to learn several computer systems. I also have to become familiar with all the vendors that we work with and all the tours we offer. All of the people I work with are fantastic. They are so nice. So far, I am loving being a Travel Consultant. My manager keeps telling me that it's going to get busy, but I guess I don't mind. Bring on the busy. The only real complaint I have is that it's freaking hot. But, I guess I could just get a fan. And, I have my own desk, my very own cubicle. Man, it's good to be a graduate. Today, I was just driving home from work and realized that, for once in my life, I don't mind going to work.
And, I'm watching Office Space. This is a good day.
