12:15AM

Lots of mean users tonight. Like these three guys who have been chattering very loudly for the past 90 minutes.

Me: Can you guys please lower your voices a bit.
Guy: Why?
Me: You're being quite loud and disturbing the other users.
Guy: It's really loud outside, too.
Me: That's outside. This ( Read more... )

I got another articlemabobber published on the blog for Mental Floss magazine Yes, okay, I admit it. It's about guinea pigs.

(Way More Than) Everything You Wanted To Know About Guinea Pigs

Sorry, what was that?

Woefully short asleep-time yesterday night. Woke up earlier than I have in a long time (ComicCon, maybe?) to uh, scurry my way down to the Arthur Ashe center to attend my first SHAC meeting.

It's actually more because I am always pretty stressed and therefore busy...and I ironically have too MUCH to blog ( Read more... )

I'm working a full main lab entirely by myself while everyone else is upstairs doing training and raffle prizes. One of the users wants me to help him plagarize a book by scanning it into Omnipage. A bajillion of the other users don't have print accounts and everyone is on their cell phone. The lab is closing in less than 15 minutes...

Exploding Water Cooler

David set down the water cooler refill bottle on the ground. It split open.

Now the floors are clean, yay.

Last Friday, my cousin Kenny and his wife Pauline and her old roommate Annelise and former pop star turned Hollywood events planner Belinda, Ken, and I went to The Stinking Rose, which is an excellently weird restaurant in Beverly Hills that serves everything drenched in garlic. We even tried garlic ice cream ( Read more... )

CLICC users.
Sometimes.
Really.

User: Sorry, I didn't want to bother you before but there's a girl sitting near me who has been on a cell phone for ten minutes and it's distracting me from studying.
Me: Oh. Sorry about that. People aren't supposed to use a cell phone in CLICC. I'll tell her to talk outside.

I walkz over to teh cell fone ( Read more... )
