Today's View from the Unemployment Line

My wonderful fiance bought me an external CD burner drive for my birthday. Today I decided to set it up. Problem is, my desk is a mess and I had no space left to set the thing up. What started out as the simple installation of a computer accessory soon involved a rearranging of my entire apartment and a trip to the wilds of the urban mall scene.

Being completely unorganized I spent the majority of my time in the Container Store. There were lots of cheap, plastic containers to choose from. Being unemployed, I couldn't afford the good stuff made of wood or less cheap plastic. I made a couple purchases and hoped my space and organization problems were behind me. Naturally, I fell far short of this goal. Then I spent the rest of the day trying to get my stupid new drive to work.

The drive now works, but the apartment is still a mess. One of these days I'll finally get myself all organized and caught up. Right.
