The deranged mind of everyone’s favourite ne’er-do-well
I forgot my wallet so today I am eating an Elf diet, from the 4 major food groups:
1. Candy
2. Candy Canes
3. Candy Corns
4. Syrup.
I am snacking on the left-over halloween candy at the receptionist’s desk. This has lead me to remember how much I LOVE hard candy Root Beer barrels. Deeeelicious.
I’ve begun to edit my friends lists: if you are dropped, please don’t take it personally, or as any comment to my opinions. I’m doing this because I’m too lazy to build a custom filter for work: I’ve been noticing I gloss over a number of entries while I am at work, and this has been a time sucker. So I’m making it lean and mean this week. When I get some free time, I’ll set it up so I have a nice quick-view freinds filter for work.
New Laptop!
Damn this one is nice. Of course, here at work we were at a remote office and on the way back an email server goes down at HQ, because Storage team is overworked to failure, and our own team (those who were supposed to be watching) missed a warning email. Oh and that email? Went to two people, who both claim they didn’t get it. Guess what? Logs say they did get it. Fuckers. This had better not screw up my transition period! Grrr!
So, over the weekend a good number of laptops taken from work here. And yes, one of those was mine.
Fun!
That mixed with the new so comfy sheets that I had to leave this morning make a Monday alright.
Weekend fun, though:
Friday night was boring as everyone had something to do but me. Luckily, Civilization III can console like a champ.
Saturday we went to the company (H-dawg’s) screening of “Love Actually.” Fun, great movie. It put us straight in a Christmas mood, so screw waiting until Thanksgiving, We’re starting celebrating/decorating NOW. The rest of the day saw us going to IKEA to plan out our new space in the Portland House, then a stop at Toys R Us and borders saw me purchase the LOTR movie trivial pursuit. Dissapointment – knew it was going to be a bit of one. At least everyone won’t have to gang up on me when we answer questions like “Where did Faramir offer to go in Boromir’s stead,” anyone can play.
Sunday morning was a bit of a sleep in (yay), then we were off to see “Elf.”
I don’t know if the previous day’s movie put me in Holiday Vulnerable mode because I enjoyed Elf like I haven’t enjoyed a movie in a long, long, long fucking time. I was giddy like a child! I weeped through the enitre thing, teary over the sheer brilliance and sincerity. I swear it was like a 40-yr-old Houswife on PMS tearing up over a long distance telephone commerical during the commercial break between showcase showdowns. So I’m needing to see that again. Fucking Tonight.
Sunday night
So yeah, Christmas is coming and you can’t make me stop singing carols. So there.
The Creatures are back and this time their travels take them to Japan. I will not be purchasing this title due to a)moving and b) christmas/gift.
But I wants it, my precious.
And I also want Kish Kash by the Basement Jaxx (with their other albums as well).
So much media, so little money and space.
1. What food do you like that most people hate?
Sardines, Capers, Stinky Cheese, Sushi, Pickled Herring, Sauerkraut.
2. What food do you hate that most people love?
I likes me the food, so I run a blank here.
3. What famous person, whom many people may find attractive, is most unappealing to you?
Any of the Carmen Electra / Pamela Anderson typical “made-up” women. Just not my aesthetic, they look more like circus clowns to me: The clowns that make you sad.
4. What famous person, whom many people may find unappealing, do you find attractive?
DJ Qualls. I could eat that boy with a spoon. I find him incredibly HOT.
5. What popular trend baffles you?
Fear-based overprotection of children. I just don’t get it. Let your children free. I can open that up to any fear-based over protection, based on a very poor knowledge of statistics or risks. Property, children, lifestyle, homophobia, etc. Conquer your phobias!
Turd Fergusen.
It’s a funny name.
Just decided to look at my balances:
Sick: 5 days
Vac: 14 days.
😀
heheheheheheheheh rockin my world baby!
So while I hate my job, they love me, so:
Looks like I’m going to be approved for a “transitional” period after I move. Bascially, I’ll be working from home on key projects and tranings until/while my replacement(s) are found.
So while it means I’ll still be working for a while with this company, it means I can use that paycheck while I’m in portland to float us while H looks for substitute positions (or whatever she feels like doing), and I can job junt while I’m earning a paycheck as well. Plus I work in my jammies.
All things on track!
Happy Birthday
