i am cold

Friday, September 30th, 2005

It's freezing and I'm very cold. It's 59º, and I know you're thinking.. "that's not cold, what's your problem?" It is too. Especially today. I don't know why in particular, but the coworker thinks it's because I'm not wearing socks. Sure, OK. Maybe. After a fruitless (on her part) argument about ...

For leaving it on my front porch. That was nice. You must read my blog and be afraid of the others. Damn straight they're scary and were going to kick your ass. Don't do it again, or I'll track you down and beat you with a pole. I know where to get one ...

why poles should not be in the middle of driveways.

I'd love to begin this post with something outrageously witty, but all I have is this. I just drove into a pole. Yeah. I'll let you laugh for a minute or two... Alright, so here's the thing. One of the people we sometimes work with (who bugs me) needed to borrow one ...

The coworker has a dentist appointment this morning, so I'm here in the office, all alone.. trying to figure out how to turn on the heat. It's only 69º, but it's cold. At least to me. But it's Thursday—yay! The day before Friday, and, around here (college town), the first night ...

Out-of-office emails. Do you know what I'm talking about? The emails that people set up when they go on vacation—typically says, "I will be out of office until.... Please contact... etc." We publish a newsletter three times a week and an update once a week to a rather large email ...

it's mine, damn it!

Last night, admittedly, I had a few drinks and was in a right good mood. Fortunately, I was sober enough (even in the rain), to look for my outside trashcan so I could take it in. It wasn't there. I looked up and down the street, shrugged and decided I ...

Do you know what sucks? When I can't sleep and all of you people can. It's pouring rain, and outside my bedroom window there is a drainpipe. It makes the most raucous noise and aside from the fact that I had vodka for dinner and am now wired from that, I ...

ooo… monumental

At some point today, I hit 5,000 visitors. To the blog world: you like me, you really do! Thanks :)

castrating catcallers

Sunday, September 25th, 2005

The coworker and I have had a particularly intriguing ongoing conversation for a few weeks now. It revolves around guys who stare, whistle and catcall when we walk down the street. My inclination is to ignore them and chuckle, 'cause it cracks me up and, well, it's kinda flattering. Depending ...

sacrilege

Saturday, September 24th, 2005

So I worked today.. woohoo, Saturday in the office. Kill me now. We ran labs, so we had the added bonus of having the Boss come down for a few hours. Eh. No fighting, and no yelling... but our workload increased significantly. Love that. And then I just found out ...
