Things Jennifer should not be allowed to do:
1. Go into Target's notebook aisle when there's a clearance sale and I have a pay-for-performance bonus coming to me.
So, yeah. I went into work yesterday and had to spend the entire damn day on the phones, which was only made better when my boss started pulling people into her office to tell them what they were getting as their bonus. I'm supposed to be getting $550. (Before taxes, of course, but STILL.)
So I decided to do what I've been contemplating for a while now and bought a much smaller computer desk.
My parents bought my computer desk before I moved in and it's HUGE. It fits a million different things, but it's also enormous, and I'm just not a huge fan of anything so big I need to call my dad and my brother to move it more than a foot in any given direction.
The downside is that to make up for the loss of space, I'm probably also going to have to get a pretty decently-sized bookshelf for my notebooks, the hamster, the tarantula, all their pet supplies, and a few other things I want to keep handy. I think I may use one of the spare plastic storage drawer set I've got in my bedroom, but we'll see.
I soothed the prospect of possibly having to buy one more piece of furniture by hitting up the notebook aisle. WHEEE EVERYTHING'S ON CLEARANCE. I bought three new notebooks and brought them home and added them to the "newly bought, never touched, nothing written in them" pile with the other ... um, fifteen notebooks. *blushes*
And I spent a good part of last night and this morning cleaning off the desk. I found my Veronica Mars AVI discs! And my serial killer trading cards!
