Today was kind of a rough day at work. Not bad, but boring and frustrating. I was scattered in the morning because I had to pick up my computer. Amy was a little off too because she got up late. We butted heads a little over me trying to see stuff. See wants everything run through her. On one hand it is pretty reasonable, it keeps interns from ( Read more... )

I was at the library the other day and a woman asked me to help her word a father's day card to her son. She seemed to think he was a great dad and way better than his father had been. She spoke pretty good English but wanted some help phrasing things. She told me what she wanted to say and I tweaked it a little and wrote it down for her to copy ( Read more... )

I've run into a bit of a snag. I called today (again) hoping to deal with my jury duty stuff. The woman on the phone was pretty hard assed with me. It came down to "show up Monday or your case goes to a judge". I have no desire to be fined or put in jail for contempt of court so I am taking a red eye out of here on Saturday. I have to run it by my ( Read more... )

Today was day one of Bess' LA adventure. I dropped Dori off a the airport without incident. So I proved I can manage the highways okay. Later I walked to go check out Knott's Berry Farm, but it turned out to be 53 bucks (plus I didn't want to walk home in the dark after spending the hours to make it worth it). It turned into a long walk for shampoo ( Read more... )

I just finished this book called Killing Yourself To Live about the author (Chuck Klosterman) going to a bunch of places where rock stars died. At the beginning it had me all giggling and quoting stuff aloud to Jeanine because I thought Mr. Chuck was pretty clever, but by the middle I was pissed. Because it turns out its not *really* a book about ( Read more... )

Okay so its the tail end of winter here. Every now and then I'll see and icicle or a little bridge of snow where the bottom has melted away. My first impulse is always to break it off or push it over with my foot. Now, when my friends see me do this they always say "Bess! Stop destroying nature.", to which I reply "I'm not destroying nature. I'm ( Read more... )

Seems like we have all been trying to squeeze at much fun into the last weekend before school as possible. We've watched a lot of movies together. Henry and Jane, something I forget, Gentlemen Prefer Blonds (that one was mostly me) and some episodes of FCFL. Night before last we went out. It was Rachel F's birthday, but the group was so large that ( Read more... )

All today I have been rearranging and piling and cleaning up after myself in preparation for my leave. Generally being very grown-up. Whenever I am bustle-y like that I get the urge to write. I feel like the physical act of writing would be very satisfying. Unfortunately I never really have anything *to* write. I don't really have any stories ( Read more... )

The other day me and brett hung out and worked on his power supply thingie. It was a pretty good time but a little frustrating with all the wiring and rewiring. At least now I have finally used a soldering gun. After that we walked to taste of the grove, but decided it was lame and ended up at Moe's. Its the only place in Miami where I know you can ( Read more... )

Guess who met her dad's girlfriend?
