The nice thing about my new job: lack of boredom. Alas, this is also the challenge. I've got all the challenges, all the time, and not enough time in the day to do them. As it is, I tend to put in about an extra hour each day, so as to have a bit more project working time; I've also done some work into the evening on some occasions as well. As ( Read more... )

Where I work, they have a large parking garage with open sides; there is a stair well which you take up to the top to exit; the garage is on the side of a hill, so the exit puts you out at the top of the hill. On all the lower floors, there are no doors to the stairwell, but there is a door on the top-most floor - presumably because the top floor ( Read more... )

Last night, I got an hour and a half massage. Now, I'd planned on getting an hour massage, and I'd planned on paying for it. However, jasra conspired with the massage therapist, and so when I arrived, I learned that I was getting more that I was anticipating. That was a very wonderful surprise ( Read more... )

For those of you who haven't heard, Cupid's drop box is alive and well. It makes me wish that I could overlap the same threads of time over and over again - because then I could send out flirty, fun messages to all the folks with which I am feeling flirty and fun. Oh-your-gods are there a bunch of you though. This is not because I'm easily ( Read more... )

Ya know, it's Friday, and everyone is busy with their various end of the week busy-ness. It makes it hard to get over here in LJ and make that post that you've been wanting to make; you know the one I mean: the one about how awesome your life is. Yeah, well, I am here to help. Like I do. Just chick your way on through below, and there you go - ( Read more... )

Lately, I've been getting long runs of ... um... feeling peaceful and comfortable with myself. I'm not sure what that is all about. Sometimes, I have moments where I feel like I am outside of me, observing me being calm and settled, and the observing part of me is like "When did I become so relaxed and self-assured ( Read more... )

This morning I was watching the news while running on the treadmill. They were showing Barack and Michelle meeting with the French president and the French first lady. Watching them smiling, shaking hands, and going through their greetings, I noticed how happy everyone seemed. Not polite, but happy. They had genuine smiles. They weren't those ( Read more... )

All along, I've felt positive about Obama and his presidential run. However, being an entity who has seen it all over the millenia, I'm a bit jaded regards politics and what is possible. That said, there were a few of his speeches along his way to the white house (and some videos clipped together with him in them) that had touched me - where a ( Read more... )

Yeah, I know, I know - commercial holiday and all, just a money making scheme by the corporate powers what be, yada yada yada. I'm a fricken devil! I can enjoy my annual enforced love march if I damn well wanna.

On that note, Cupid's drop box is back. And its love-sacks are full of sappy shmoop, just waiting to squirt all over you. Open wide.

I am going to keep posting girl friend schmoop until you reflexively vomit, shorting out your computer monitor, at which point you won't have to read it any more.

Alternately, you could just filter me out.

Anyway, a short bit ago, one of my loves sent me over this video (work safe, but with sound)with which I was pleased and amused.

Today, one ( Read more... )
