Assuming the clocks are right

I am wake and dressed and it it 8:22am. Would normally be leaving to go to work. I am having real issues sleeping in these days, which is a shame because I think I need some extra sleep. 7:30am EDT rolls round and I am awake any chances of sleeping longer are fairly slim. I can’t do what someone I know does on a regular basis, fall a sleep with in a few minutes.
So it is 8:30. I have the choice faf around a little longer or shock horror be at work at 9am 🙂 I am going to drive since I have wedding gifts to drop off of my boss and its raining and I don’t feel like getting wet today.

I am a geek (now an apple one)

Ok I didn’t plan this but I stood in line and bought the new version of the OS X. What I planned was to drop in on the Mac store close to the four courts. I was supposed to be meeting my friends there. I wanted to check out the Ipods and maybe buy one. The store was closed waiting for 8pm to reopen from 8 till mid night so I stood in line. I ended up buying the upgrade and getting 10% of the cost of the IPOD :).
I love the expose function, very sweet. I am not convinced that there is $129 dollars worth of changes. They have fixed switching IPs when running X. I Can also supposedly sync my contacts and read email on an exchange server. Pity I don’t have one handy to test with. Being able to view word documents in text edit is sweet. There is an update to Safari but I haven’t noticed much change.
I am happy with the IPOD it now has all of my mp3 archive on it. I need to play with some of the ID3 tags to get it all the songs showing up right.
