I am going to motherf'ing Paris! Squee~!!!

The week of the 24th this month I'm going to our main office in the UK, and the cheapest flights to our HQ are through Paris. So my company finally bought the tickets... but only to Paris. *laughs* My boss's plan is to stay there one night and see the city a bit (he's being really awesome and trying ( Read more... )

Hoooooooly crap, I'm almost done packing. Thank god. 99% of my books are packed (and holy bejeezus that's a lot of boxes of books), most of my clothes, most of my kitchen stuff and dvds, etc. At this point all that's really left is my actual electronics (VHS, PS2, blah blah blah) and various and sundry items scattered through the house. I've ( Read more... )

You know, it'd be a lot easier for me to go to the Y and get toned and get rid of the last of my flab if I would bloody well quit getting sick. Goddamn, I hope wherever I work next isn't as plague-ridden as this office. It seems every time the owners leave for vacation, Doug, our property manager, gets sick, then spreads it to the rest of us -- ( Read more... )

Save Monday, Friday through Tuesday night were so relaxing. No work, lazy lolling around the house, and general relaxation were the sum of Easter weekend. Yesterday I called in sick, for the hell of it, beat Final Fantasy III (so cute! Now to play KH: Chain of Memories, or Fire Emblem?), and played some FFXII. I really need to game more. Miss ( Read more... )

Well, I'm back at work. After four days of rest I feel much better, though I do tire easily and dear god it hurts when I sneeze. So far, knock on wood, there doesn't seem to be tons of things for me to do. They brought in a family friend to help out while I was gone, and she's here this week as well since our receptionist is out getting plastic ( Read more... )

Have fled Texas... for California. :) Am currently sitting in a posh 4-star Doubletree Hotel room in Rohnert Park, about an hour north of San Francisco. The weather, the food, the view, all of it is simply gorgeous. Plus, I just got off the phone from a lovely conversation with Rob, so all in all I'd say this business trip is starting out as a ( Read more... )

Phooey -- everyone's left the office save The Sons and me, so I think I'm done working. :P ( Read more... )

Below is an actual letter from one of our new tenants. Cut to spare you the pain, should you so wish.

( it hurt me so much to retype this )

Oh, looky, one of my idiot coworkers finally got the forward that "Target is French and hates veterans1!zomg!!" And naturally forwarded it to everyone on his contact list. This time I didn't reply to everyone on the email, just to the sender, with the Snopes detractions: Read more... )

I can already tell. *sigh* Oh, the joys of being a corporate drone. At least it's Friday... a Friday that'll be capped with an economics final, but a Friday nonetheless.

And good thing I've brought jazz and big band music to work with me today. I get the feeling it's gonna be a big help for retaining my tiny bit of remaining sanity.
