The situation from my last entry has mostly resolved itself. We now do this polite cordial coworker dance where we pretend like nothing has changed even though he has been avoiding me like the plague and I'm ok with that.

Made my annual post Easter candy sweep. 50% off and yet somehow I managed to spend $24 in Easter candy. Sometimes I scare myself ( Read more... )

I guess I really haven't driven around much because the toll workers are a lot friendlier than they use to be.

Me: Good morning!
Toll guy: I love you
Me: ..... Thanks?
Toll guy: Really. I really do.
Me: OK. Bye.

I've been running into some weird stuff on the road lately.

Also, US Appeals court rules Prop 8 as unconstitutional.
A state violates equal ( Read more... )

Thanks to reppu, I've become obsessed with Godville, the game you don't play. I love that there are no crops to harvest, no rent to collect and no penalty if you don't play for days on end. Thank goodness it's a zero player game because damn my hero is dumber than a bag of bricks. His diary is hilarious though. Anything that references Schrodinger's cat ( Read more... )

Egypt in about a week! I already talked with some of you about postcards and I'll be sending them to the address I have for you under the xmas card exchange. Let me know if there's an address change.
If you'd like to sign up for a postcard, you can do so until the weekend.

I'm breaking out like a 16 year old and it's embarrassing. Now even if my ( Read more... )

I broke down and bought the 4S. I gave my dad my old 3GS. It's frustrating teaching the not so tech savy how to use a smart phone, but not as frustrating as calling AT&T customer service to transfer my dad's number to my old phone. I haven't felt such phone rage in a long time. The cs guy kept having me repeat the IMEI number and kept messing ( Read more... )

Random thoughts for the week:

• Working from home this week which is nice because I get that much more sleep.  Not so great is that already low productivity reaches new heights when I have so many non-work things around to distract me
• Iphone 4S.  I'm due for an upgrade since my contract just expired.   I'm torn between upgrading and waiting for iphone ( Read more... )

Went to lunch with a coworker today. The bill came out to $10.80 and I had them swipe my credit card. When I went to sign the bill, I saw they had charged me $0.80. Opps.

If I was a better person, I would have told them they made a mistake, paid the correct amount and felt smug in my accumulation of karma points. Good thing I never claimed to be ( Read more... )

I'm on the subway and a girl sits down next to me ( Read more... )

Finally did my taxes. I don't know why I procrastinate like I do; I always get a federal refund and this year it's a substantial amount. And for once I didn't owe the state anything. Usually I have to pay a couple hundred bucks. Must be good and put the refund money into savings rather than go nuts at IKEA, though I really need a shoe rack. ( Read more... )

I was talking to kugelkopf today about engagement rings and I'm kind of curious to see how other people see it.
I don't consider myself to be a social status obsessed person.  I don't own any name brand purses and don't shop for brands in general (I like Ross for goodness sakes), but I realize I am unabashedly materialistic in one regard.  I want a big rock ( Read more... )
