So, I got the new David Gray album and the new Tori Amos album...and I guess when I say I "got" them I mean I downloaded them on mp3...at WORK...since that's what we have this great internet connection at work for, right? hehe...well, most people would argue against that...but hey! it's there, so I'm gonna use it! 8o)

I figure that I'm never going to live down my reputation as the "download queen" so I might as well take advantage of my title and download, download, & download some more. Since some of you may not know, about a year ago this month...I think..I, along with many other people in IT, was downloading mp3's. But this ONE day, unfortuantely, I decided to download a movie or 2. hehe *grin* Not knowing that we actually had NO kind of cap on the amount of bandwidth we could use up. I went and got the program Morpheus, and started downloading 2 movies...and wouldn't it just figure..that was the very same day that the network administrators decided to check out who was using the bandwidth up and what for...hehe....wouldn't you know..I WAS # 1 and using the program that they always watch for! hehe....My boss was freaking out, wanting to catch whoever it was..blah blah blah...he was SO mad...fortunately, once he figured it was me, he calmed down a little bit..and then gave me that "I'm so disappointed in you" look and then went to his office. I got punished only with the embarassment of everyone in my department knowing and was only on his shit list for a couple months.. :) The funny thing is...I was only #1 or even in the top 20 list that ONE hour that they decided to look at the bandwidth hogs. ONE hour......ONE hour......Everytime bandwidth comes up in an IT meeting the network administrator looks at me like "you know what I'm talking about"...hehe....*lip quiver*

So, needless to say, for about 6 months I had NO mp3s on my computer and no downloading programs...(yeah..only 6 months...I went through withdraw *grin*). but then after talking to one of the administrators I was put at ease that it's fine, just keep it to a minimum..k..that's cool...so...i've kept it easy...it's been a year...and people still talk about it like I take up 60% of the bandwidth everyday (heeyeah..I left that part out...hehe 60%)..hehe *grin* So, the last month or two...I started downloading more...you see...it's a prime example of the self fulfilling prophecy... 8) I'm still only downloading a little, compared to others...but now I proudly wear my title!
