The DS? Awesome.
The Zelda Phantom Hourglass game? Totally awesome. (The Chop and I are fighting over who gets to play, lol.)
Obama's taken Iowa! Woot! He is my only hope for getting the Republicans out of office.

Driving all the way up to work (60 miles), where it's 5 degrees colder than at home (17), and finding out that the heat upstairs in your office area is broken is not a good way for my day to start.
That is a bad, bad thing.
Also that no one actually ...

Why can't I get a cool job like this?
How come I end up working with people who don't like the Internet, don't care about it and don't want to help me?
I AM GOOD PEOPLE >>> HIRE ME! I will work for your Internet company. I will play your Wii and ...

There were actually flies congregating in one of the offices (we're assuming it's up in the ceiling in that ...

This is my day.
I almost ran out of gas on my way to work and learned that when the little gas light comes on, I can travel almost 20 miles before it sputters and dies.
Fortunately, it did that just as I was gliding downhill to the gas station. Which, ...

A disturbingly large bug just fell from the ceiling.
It landed on my keyboard.
I screamed "son of a fuck monkey" so loud the people in the office across the hall heard me.
I've now been deemed "colorful."

There's a woman who works upstairs with us as a freelance design person. Typically she's almost never here, but for the few crunch weeks right before a deadline... in other words, she's here now.
I have two problems with her: one, she's so FREAKING loud and two, she takes tons of ...

"You're driving me insane and I will NEVER give you a URL of a site I'm working on again. Seriously."
"No, I'm not kidding, a two-drink maximum? How is that a party?"
"If you don't quit poking around on the site, I'm going to block your IP address permanently."
