Ah, the smell of fresh update
I decided to change my layout again because I got bored. Isn't that exciting? I had oodles of fun making the background and searching through buco (sp?) icons to find just the right default. I also created a new icon based off some old pictures I happened to come across recently. *points to icon* Isn't it horrible? That really is my graduation picture *shudder*
Anywho, not much going on the world of Missa right now. Only 4 more days until Hitchhiker's Guide! Though James and I won't get to go see it until Monday because of his oral surgery on Friday (I'm going to be a good girlfriend and not ditch him in his hour of numbness and need to go see it without him on the 29th). I can hardly wait, it's going to be so awesome.
Oh, and in other, slightly disturbing, news I think I'm going to lodge my first ever real work-related complaint. After much deliberation with James and internal conflict about whether or not I was being too sensative I've decided that I really do need to tell someone about what's going on. The issue so far is this:
There was this guy who used to work at my office named JR. I never really liked him because I thought he was kind a show-off and a womanizer to the max. But fine, whatever, you don't get to choose your coworkers. JR eventually left to join the police force and all was merry and bright in the world. I carried on with my work for another year. Today he marches into the office out of the blue (escorted by one of his buddies) and announces that he's going to come back to work for Agilent (if he gets the job, of course) and everything will return to normal. "Yay" says Missa very sarcastically, then "Oh well, I'll just deal with it." Approximately fifteen minutes later JR and this guy named Ryan are engaged in a discussion, a very in-depth, detailed discussion, about a girl named Jaya's ass and how they both want to boink her. I don't exactly think this is a good thing to discuss at work, especially in the middle of the hallway. When they start making orgasm noises I decide that this is really not okay and frankly pretty stupid and disgusting. So I think I'm going to tell my manager tomorrow. I mean, I don't want to seem whiny or anything but if JR does really come back to work for Agilent than I don't want him hanging around my cubicle going, "Oh baby! Oh baby, do it harder!" I don't think that would help improve my work experience, no sir.
It's not that I have any kind of problem with pervy conversations in general (far from it, I'm the main perveyor of such in my group of friends) but when you start doing shit like that at work it crosses a line. A line that I am not comfortable with anyone crossing, not since my job at the bookstore (sorry male coworkers, Keith spoiled me for all of you). So at the risk of overreacting I'm going to tell Damian that I'm not comfortable with that kind of thing going on around me and that they ought to give it some serious thought before they decide to hire JR again. I don't expect them to not hire him on my advise or anything, but I feel that something needs to be said before they make a decision. After all, he wasn't that much of a super special employee to begin with.
So that's about all the drama going on in my life. In other news, Rob Thomas's new CD kicks ass and I am nearly finished with the Complete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Vol. 1. I had to leave off at something of a cliff-hanger when leaving work today, so I'm going to try and finish that before it's really time to go to bed. Oh, I advise everyone to go look at my userinfo page, just for fun. I was playing around with photoshop and made an image to go on there. I'm quite proud of it, to be honest. ^_^
Advise for the day: If someone offers to show you his Mustang, hit him with a bat.
