Thank God it's NOT Tuesday

It's Wednesday which only means that Tuesday is over with! Tuesday rolls around once a week and turns out to be my least favorite and yet favorite day of the week. I know that is confusing, allow me to explain.

Tuesday is *meeting day* at work. All of the recurring meetings for my team happen on Tuesdays which means that the bulk of the afternoon is spent in the conference room. I used to enjoy this time because it was a chance to connect and share ideas with my co-workers. However over the last few months the focus of the meeting has changed and now sitting through the meetings is pure pain and torture. Yesterday I spent 3 hours and 15 minutes in the conference room and was so annoyed, exhausted and drained by the time I came out that I couldn't even explain to a co-worker why it was so utterly annoying. The good news is that I am not the only one who feels this way and yesterday everyone interjected their commentary about their disdain for Tuesdays. I have hope that in the future my Tuesday's may not be so bad.

The reason that I love Tuesdays... Gilmore Girls! I went home last night and made one of my favorite dinners, poured myself a glass of wine and sat like a total bum on my couch and watched Gilmore Girls. It is the only night this week that I can sit and be a total bum on the couch and I enjoyed every minute of it.

So maybe I have to endure the torture of Tuesday meetings to truly enjoy my *bum time* on Tuesday evening.

Today is National Coming Out Day. I didn't know this until I heard about it on my favorite radio station on the way to work. I didn't know there was a National Coming Out Day but I really like the idea. Evidently it has been an annual event (on October 11) since 1994 and is sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. There is a theme every year and the theme selected for this year is "Talk About It" because every time learn more about one another we get closer to equality.

In college someone once told me that the official colors for *Coming Out* were purple and green. I wonder if that is true?

After weeks of experimenting and trying different plug-ins for Audioscrobber I have finally found one that works with my iPod! Until yesterday none of the songs that I listened to on my iPod were transferring to my LastFM page and now they are. I downloaded the jscrob plug-in several months ago and thought that it didn't work so I removed it from my computer. I tried it again last night and it does work but I didn't configure it properly the first time. After you finish installing the software it prompt you to read the "read-me" file which I didn't do until last night and finally realized the mistake that I was making. I configured it properly and it works, imagine that! I so happy! :-)
