I'm the only one at work today.





Everyone else is gone! Ha ha ha!




: Does a little dance.:




And you know what that means?




I can write something for Open Mic and torture you all.



Wahoo!

:D

[Ponine]

Copacabana (Remix) - Barry Manilow

Remix?!?!?!
You have a remix?!?!
I must have that... where's it from? How long... I must know.

[Gemini Cricket]

This is a cool remix. I saw it on iTunes. The version I have is about 5 minutes...

Cool, I'll go look, thanks!

[Prudence]

Whee! In today's episode of cutting it awfully damn close, my tax return posted at midnight - with the final payment on our May WDW trip due today. After the cutting my salary because I won't work 60 hours in the office as receptionist incident, followed by the getting hit by a metro bus incident, followed by the raging infection medical bills, followed by the days BT had to take leave without pay due to said infection, our savings account was pretty well drained. And I really didn't want to have to charge it to the credit card I've been trying to pay off. And I didn't have to!

I've decided it's a sign that we really as supposed to go.

[Gemini Cricket]

I've decided it's a sign that we really as supposed to go.
I think it's a sign, too. You must go!
:)

[Kevy Baby]

Cool, I'll go look, thanks!Surprisingly, I have TWO remix versions: one at 5:46 and one at 6:48. The one I was listening to was the 6 minute 48 second version.

[BarTopDancer]

So I took the day off from work to clean my house.. right?

Sure. I ended up buying this (http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/displayPage.action?pageParameter=modelsMain&vehicleCode=M3S) and I have to say that the relief I feel is amazing. :D

[Prudence]

Sweet! I only managed to order shoes online. Nordy's has free shipping!

[lizziebith]

Sooo...now that I'm remarried, my initials are: EW. Gotta love it! I want to deliberately make errors everywhere so I can put my inits all over the corrections...:D

[Mousey Girl]

Purdy car!!

Nick & I just got home from a morning trip to DLR. The ride down was a bit harry. Right before the 14 merges into the 5, CHP passed us, hit his lights and started doing a round robin to slow us down. We were completly stopped while they placed flares, a truck lost a tire (looked like the whole wheel) and ended up spinning out and hit another car head on in the center divider. There were 2 sheriffs and 3 or 4 CHP on the scene, with more showing up as we sat. (it was raining pretty hard at this point) A bit past that I saw something weird going on, again in the fast lane. Luckily I was going slow enough to react. There was another car that had spun out and hit the center divider head on. There were chunks of the divider in the middle lane of traffic and bits of car every where. It looked like it may have caught fire when it hit. Only thing on scene were 2 fire trucks, sitting on the right shoulder. Just past that mess, again I see something strange in front of me, a white pickup sitting partway in the fast lane and across the next lane, spun out with a flat tire and 2 other cars sitting on the right shoulder with various dents. After that it was just another spun out car on the other side of the center divider. This was all before we go to the 210.

[Drince88]

I like the car, but you forgot to mention the most important part -- what color did you get?

[libraryvixen]

Nice car!! :)

[BarTopDancer]

Thanks everyone. I am so happy, and my heart is no longer breaking into a million pieces every time I fill up. If gas prices go any higher I'll be saving money (right now I am breaking even between what it cost me to fill up and the increase in car payment).

It looks silver in the photo but it's a dark gray.

Today I managed to clean out another whole portion of my future office (yay!) which makes almost 1/3 of it cleaned out and organized.

I also finally hung decorative item #2 - after only 2 years here. The Monet print went above the piano a few months ago, and tonight I hung my limited edition sericel thingy in the hallway where I can see it when I come downstairs. It's old school Mickey and Minnie giving each other gifts. And the mat perfectly matches my new couch, although that's entirely by accident.

[Gemini Cricket]

Ralphie and I drove to Provincetown this weekend and saw Steven Tyler walking around. He's short. Ptown is great fun.
:)

[Gemini Cricket]

I'm the only one here again today! Everyone's called off sick. I'm beginning to like this job. I was totally planning to write something for the Open Mic and decided I hated it and abondoned my short story.

Say it say it say it!

[Gemini Cricket]

He was...
Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care...
Walk this way....

Soooo...

I'm probably the only person currently listening to the 21 minute and 46 second version of "Space Truckin" by Deep Purple as recorded live at the BBC 03-09-72.

[Not Afraid]

Today was a "Why did I bother" day.

I have this week to do a bunch of stuff. It's all doable but will take some dedication. How much did I get done today? Not a whole lot. Why?


Lyra had to go to the vet. Her left face was super swollen and she needs to have an abcessed tooth extracted IF she can survive surgury. I'll know tomorrow morning after the tests come back. She's an old girl.
The blinds I bought yesterday were the wrong size so I had to exchange them at Home Depot. The new ones I got will fit - once I carve out pieces of the window molding to hold the brackets. The new blinds a wood and have larger brackets than the old ones.
The washer didn't like the load of sheets I put in it - Load Exceeded - and I couldn't get it to reset for a long while. Now I have we soapy clothes in a bucket in the kitchen.
I was supposed to get a check to my boss but it was in my car which I told Chris to take today since he had to drive and his car was vandalized on Saturday night and has a broken side-view mirror.
It was too we today to weed or plant the garden and the new plants I bought. They need to go into the ground before Sunday.
I have 7 pairs of unmatched socks
I'm totally disoriented due to staying out too late and the time change.WTF is going on?

[Prudence]

Soooo.... Now that I'm on upper campus I get to hear and see all the festive student demonstrations! Although if they really want to get their message across they need to learn how to use the megaphone properly. Judging from the group assembled, however, it's way more about a pathetic attempt to pretend it's 1960-something. Yay whatever!

[Cadaverous Pallor]

So...I have a second interview for the supervisor job at the public library on Monday. I've heard it's only me and one other outside guy. We'll see if they want experience in this city (me) or supervisor experience (him). I believe I have a 50/50 shot.

I can't think about much else at the moment.

Well, my baby sister had a baby this past thursday. Cute 7lbs 12oz boy. Jacob Reily. Black hair. Looks like his dad. I'm an Uncle again. :) Held the little booger for an hour. <<SIGH!>>

Waiting (still) about a job with Wildstorm (DC Comics). No news on that front.

Tomorrow is the yay fun staff the damn Law Review Symposium/CLE during the day and staff the damn Law Review Alumni dinner in the evening. 7am to 10pm. Hose and heels. Grrr! They're taking one of my sacred Fridays off and using up the whole damn thing! I hate doing the schmooze thing. I don't know how I'm going to be "on" for 15 hours. And no laptop! WAAAAAHHH!

I am tired!! This work thing is hard. I miss my 10am naps. *le sigh*

I am enjoying my job though. The mornings seem to disappear, and the work can be both challenging and rewarding. I have help from 8:30-1:30 (she hired someone else at the same time as me, but she is only part time) so that I can get their filing and invoicing caught up and not have to worry too much about the phones. I had no idea how many first communions there were, and not being Catholic I don't quite understand why it is such a big deal.

I miss my naps....

[Gemini Cricket]

I got up at 5am to go to the gym before work. I'm insane. Although, it sure does feel good to have my workout behind me...

[Mousey Girl]

ooo...that is a nasty word to be throwing out this early in the morning...actually any time of day.

[Gemini Cricket]

not a very noce pic of the kitties...poor little fur ball...


I went out tonight to celebrace ,my first week of work.. bery tasty. I had a great time. Nick went home weith David and didn't start calling me until 8 to find out when I would be home. That is aslmost as full hour later than he usually lets me stay out. I told him I would be home at 9;30. At 9;35 he called and h/u on my friend when she answered the phone. Poor kid. I called him back and told ihm I was on my way. It still took me another 15 mis to gdt there (I only live 4 mins away)... he was staying awake, watchkng the clock. I hate that I have a curfew from my 9 yr old, but hubby doesn't care.

Which reminds me, who is it that is willing to endure a leaky butt for the crunch of a potato chip?

Do you eat Lays Light? (http://cspinet.org/new/200410251.html)

[Gemini Cricket]

I remember a commercial for Olestra/Olean awhile ago. It showed a man in an innertube floating down the river. I guessed leakage was the explaination of why he needed to keep his butt in the water at all times...
:D

[Alex]

I feel really bad about Olestra and what happened. The anal leakage thing was mostly hype (http://www.reason.com/0307/fe.js.the.shtml) from an anti-junk food group (CSPI) and the chips were actually very good. I never experienced any undesired anal leakage.

But even if true I'm sure I have one relative who would be more than happy to take the risk to stay very thin.

[Kevy Baby]

Anal and leakage. No matter the circumstances, these are two words that should never ever be used together.

:shudder:

Everyone in my office is coughing. It sounds like I'm in the lobby of a hospital.

[Motorboat Cruiser]

You didn't by chance have a burrito recently, did you, GC? That might explain the coughing. ;)

[Not Afraid]

Why, just yesterday...........

[Gemini Cricket]

I had a burrito yesterday. I confess. However, I don't pass gas in front of everyone. I usually release the snow goose in the bathroom or in a vacant cubicle.

[BarTopDancer]

Can someone tell me what part of this sentenance does not make sense?

"Due to the large amount of feedback that we receive we cannot respond individually to every request, nor can we assist with locating a specific business"

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I've always found "barking spiders" and other euphemisms to be disturbing. I really hope that no creature makes the sound of a fart when trying to communicate.

Can't we just call a fart a fart and a f.ck a f.ck? (Apparently not.)

[Cadaverous Pallor]

So.

Here's my unbelievable report. The promotion I was interviewing for is no more. The woman who was retiring has decided to stay. Sound crazy? Well, it's because her husband unexpectedly passed away last weekend. Two days before the final interview for her replacement.

The world is filled with randomness. I feel so sorry for her that I really don't care about the promotion. Her husband was retired, and they loved to travel. I can't imagine having it all set that you can finally spend all the time in the world with the one you love, only to lose him at the last minute.

So, things aren't changing for me for a while yet.

The other crazy thing is that a woman who used to work at another branch (but left months ago due to cancer) died on the same day as that other woman's husband. The same bloody day.

I was applying for her position as well, just in case. Ran-dom-ness.

[Tito's Kitten]

What is up with this stuff all seeming to happen at once??

I mean yesterday my boyfriend called me up to say that one of his coworkers committed suicide and that he left his note by his desk at work, yet no one noticed till yesterday. (My boyfriend noticed he wasn't there since Monday but he thought oh he must not be feeling well. He knew he had just broken up with his girlfriend and thought maybe he had decided to take a couple of days off. But then the police showed up at his office and they were checking this guys desk where under some papers was a suicide note.) And then my brother who is an insurance adjuster had a man commit suicide by driving his car off a cliff. It is all so incredibly sad. So much death.....

[Mousey Girl]

I forgot to check my mail from Saturday until we got home Sunday...I found a letter addressed to me from Arkansas. I know no one in AK plus they spelled my name wrong (I don't care how you pronounce it, as long as it is spelled correctly), but they knew me well enough to have my address. It was a letter telling me that David is having an affair with the widow. I had to laugh. Who ever wrote it does not know me very well at all. The only people that came to mind were 2 of Jimmy's cousins, who blame her for his suicide. My response was to call her and tell her that since she was having an affair with David she needed to fix me dinner. Dinner was mighty tastey!!! I told her that had I known that is what it took to get food, I should write a letter like that every week.


The kicker on the letter was the person who wrote it said I could always email them and ask any questions I may have...the email is cant_prove_its_me@yahoo.com. Too bad for them it had the opposite affect of what they were trying for.

My favorite line in America's Sweethearts is when Kiki says that she dreams about bread....
She doesnt allow herself to eat it, so she dreams of it. Damn imdb for not listing it.

[CoasterMatt]

I didn't wake up quite right this morning - so I'm gonna stay here and straighten the house up.

[tracilicious]

Do my house while you're at it, CM. K?

[BarTopDancer]

I didn't wake up quite right this morning - so I'm gonna stay here and straighten the house up.

I think there is a case of that going around. I woke up with the same thing and really want to be somewhere else. Wearing something else. I think I may go shopping on my lunch.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Not eating bread still sucks.

How many more days?
(And how many total?)
I'll take my meatless Fridays over breadless days-in-a-row any time.

[Ghoulish Delight]

How many more days?
(And how many total?)
I'll take my meatless Fridays over breadless days-in-a-row any time.8 days total, started Wednesday at sundown, ends this Thursday at sundown. So just 3 more days to decide where we're going to get massive portions of pasta and garlic bread on Thursday.

[Ghoulish Delight]

On another note...so I performed a small maricle on Friday. I had to go to the post office to mail taxes, AND to the DMV to renew my driver's license, with no appointment. Somehow, I spent less than 20 minutes total between the two of them.

[CoasterMatt]

I had an extra helping of spaghetti with browned butter and mizithra cheese tonight, just for my Jewish pals around the world :)

For the second time today, there are 4 people outside doing a choreographed dance. Right now the tune is "Please, Mr. Postman." I don't think it's rush week, and it's a co-ed group anyhow. I have no idea why they are doing this. I feel so old.

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

I rode my bike on Sunday. I took it to go shopping. I had a great time. Now, two days later, the skin and muscles that tenderly cushion my pelvic bones and genitalia feel bruised. That's right, it feels like someone punched me right in the taint. Does one's body actually adjust to bike riding? Where you can ride your bike everyday to work and it doesn't damage one's private parts?

Well, does it?!

(For the record, I have a very nice, especially cushioned seat, though it is narrow. Not that my a$$ would know. My a$$ thinks I was riding a bike without a seat at all.)

[€uroMeinke]

kegel exercises?

LMFAO! Shut it, Meinke! I'm not trying to prevent incontinence, or prevent Mothragina. I just don't want to be bruised in my happy place!

Uhm, Lance Armstrong might be able to give you some advice. If he could hop back on the ol' bike after going through cancer of the nethers, then I'll bet he's got some good leads on comfy seats!

So, this is the work news thread, yes? If it's too mundane to give it it's own thread, it goes in the Soooo thread.

Had a talk with the big ol' boss today. She said I did fantastic in the interview for the supervisor position that no longer exists. BUT, I didn't beat the outside guy. Oh well. She said some wonderful things about me but said it came down to experience.

She said I "did very well with what I had" and then continued to say how great I was (she used words like maturity and poise, boy have I fooled them) and what a big future I had. She then urged me to continue my schooling because she saw me taking over everything eventually. She offered her considerably large influence to help me with costs etc.

So yeah, I'm feeling pretty pumped. She also said I'm definitely in the running for the full time slot with minor managerial duties at the Main, which obviously leads to greater things down the road. That would start in July...

It's a good day :cool:

On Monday I bought tickets to the three Mighty Ducks playoff games. On Monday I was told that the Round 1 Home Game 1 would take place on 4/27. I clarified that it was taking place that day because I could not attend if it was taking place on a Tuesday. Apparently Home Game 1 was never scheduled for 4/27 and the lady who was helping me was full of it. Home Game 1 is scheduled for Tuesday 4/25. I can't go.

Sell the tickets you say? Can't do that either. They are at WillCall and Ticketmaster is not allowing name changes on playoff tickets. Why didn't you have them emailed you ask? Ticketmaster said game 1 tickets could either be shipped via UPS for $100million or picked up at WillCall.

So I say.. Down with Ticketmaster! Outrageous fees. They run boxes offices everywhere leaving few other options to buy tickets.

[Stan4dSteph]

Could you just pick up the tickets now at Will Call or does it have to be the day of the event?

[Gemini Cricket]

Arrrgh. I just crushed my thumb between the arm of my chair and the underside of my desk. It hoits, it hoits!
:rolleyes:

[BarTopDancer]

Could you just pick up the tickets now at Will Call or does it have to be the day of the event?

Tickets will not be there until day of event. There is no way I can get there early either to pick it up and hand it off.

lol! :D

It's fine now. I think I'm going to get one of those white lines across the nail, though.
:D

[BarTopDancer]

Ticketmaster made it right. They changed the ticket pickup to email, so now I can sell them or give them to someone who wants to go. Which is fine. I know I won't have a problem getting rid of them.

PS- Hugs to Dex, if he'll let you.

[Not Afraid]

He's still hiding. :) Poor baby boy.

[wendybeth]

If he was in my casa, he's be hiding as well. I'm on an animal-habitat cleaning frenzy! Just cleaned the cat boxes, the aviary and the fishpad. I can't believe how well Harry, our Betta, is doing. He's over five years old and still flirts with me when I clean his house. (Burps and waves his fins- he also lets me pet him)*. He's so cool- I'm gonna be sad when he finally 'goes'.





*Not unlike Eric, only Harry is a really cool red color and appreciates what I do for him.

[BarTopDancer]

Why isn't 5 hours enough sleep for me anymore? :(

[wendybeth]

Cool! Adam is so cool and calm and Bono is Bono. Did you BIL comment about how short Bono is?

No, but he's not exceptionally tall himself- average height. I'll be sure to ask him. He said that he didn't realise who Adam was until Bono walked up to him. Surprisingly, no one was bothering him at the time, though people did start milling about when they realised who was there.

Not too long ago he met a nice older couple- they wanted to buy a piano, but they had to get their son, who was waiting outside, to approve of the piano before they bought it. The son turned out to be Jack Black, who Kelly said was very nice and actually seemed kind of shy.

[Not Afraid]

Bono is short - to me. I most likely was wearing heels and he came up to my chest.

Jack Black is short too. I saw him at a concert at UCLA. I wouldn't have noticed him except he was wearing a trucker hat - not the norm for UCLA. He was about shoulder height to me.

I never seen famous people because they are usually below my line of site. ;)

My tickets for David Sedaris haven't arrived and the show is on SUnday. I called, entered the order number, pressed a number for a live person, waited about 30 seconds, the live person was nice, polite, helpful and printed new tickets for me to pick up at the box office on Sunday.

WOW!

[Not Afraid]

Dexter and Lyra both went to the vet today. Lyra is a rock. She's going to live to 99 just to piss us all off.

Dex has an ulcer on his gum. He's on antibiotics but will probably have to have dental work done. They're doing blood work to see if he is healthy and normal otherwise. There may also be an extraction or two for him. Poor baby! He's not quite the rock Lyra is so I worry more. :(

[Drince88]

Hope Dexter feels better soon. I was wondering if something might be up medically.

[Not Afraid]

The Vet called about Dexter's bloodwork. He's a perfectly healthy 9 year old boy......except for some dental issues.

So, he will get his teeth cleaned when we get back from Coachella. Then maybe he won't have stinky breath. Stinky cat breath is not as cute as it should be.

But, after his steroid and antibiotic shots yesterday, he's feeling much better already. Good boy!

[Prudence]

Good luck with that!

Well, the best part is, it's over! I'm totally done with that class! Yay!

I felt like a complete goober. However, the "judges" were very nice. They did what they were supposed to do, and pointed out one or two things for us to work on, and then gave compliments. I'm sure they could have given us more things to work on, but the theory is that they're not supposed to totally crush us. However, that doesn't always happen, and some panels have at least one major jerk. This one was basically all good, though.

The funniest thing is that all three said something about me being "poised." One said I had "presence," was "polished," and that if I was thrown by anything my face didn't show it. Another said I appeared fairly poised and comfortable with my material, and that I didn't have any distracting mannerisms. I was praised for my speed and manner of delivery.

This is a totally new development. Usually I look like a scared bunny about to flee, talk waaaaaay too fast, and telegraph everything I feel via inadvertant facial expression. Lack of poise and polish, not to mention visible lack of confidence, have consistently been my weaknesses throughout speech, debate, etc... I suppose they're useful skills for an attorney to have, and perhaps some of ones it's less easy to teach/learn, but I am just totally shocked that I picked them up somewhere.

I suppose I should stop doubting myself and accept that this is yet another sign that I'm headed in the right direction (professionally). This is unlikely to happen, of course.

But, again -- it's over! Yay!

[Mousey Girl]

Today marked the end of my 3rd week of work. After the firing and layoffs yesterday I felt a bit shakey today. My paranoia was totally unfounded. My boss is happy with the way I have been taking care of the front office. She likes that she can come to me with a problem/puzzle and that I can quickly come up with the resolution. She also likes that I can remember seeing different company names and immediatly come up with the matching file. Most of the vendors that have called are now calling for me, using my extension and enoying that not only am I able to help them, but also know what they are calling about. I am still having my normal work week sleeping issues, but no where near like I had at SBC, my work does not haunt my dreams.

The people who know me laugh when they ask what I like most about my new job and my reply is that I can go to the bathroom whenever I want.

[€uroMeinke]

So....Earlier this week at work we got some HR publication that included among the other usual stuff, a page on "acceptable" work attire. As iread down the do's and don't's I realized that while there were the usual generic admonishions about wearing "message" shirts - nearly half specificly addressed female attire. No mini-skirts, no plunging neck lines, etc.

Clearly boobs and legs should be excluded from the workplace, but I wonder why there where similar admonisions about tight pants and package display. I guess, a nice ass doesn't distract the office as much as clevage does? Or is it important to mask the femaleness of the work environment?

[Kevy Baby]

So camel toe is acceptable in the workplace?

[€uroMeinke]

Apperently so - though I prefer thinking my Company is run by ass men/women

So, the worst nightmare of my job came very close to becoming a reality tonight.

I have a pair of greyhounds I'm sitting. One is 15 and having trouble with his back legs. I had a funny feeling that something was going to happen while their owners were gone and I was right.

I went over tonight to see them and the older boy couldn't get up at all. He didn't seem like he was in any paing, but he has completely lost the use of his hind legs. I couldn't get in touch with the owners at the 33 numbers they left me but, I had made SURE I had a neighbors number before they left. Thankfully, they answered the phone and came over to help. They ended up taking the dog to an emergency vet and I'm waiting to hear what happens next. At least I didn't find the dog dead at home. That is my worst fear. But, this was not all that comfortable of an experience.

The doggie is still at the vet. He parents are on their way home from SF now and will go immediately to the vet. The extreme amount the dog has deteriorated just since Thursday makes me thing it's time to make the tough decision. I feel really bad for the parents. Mom's had a rough time lately and starts Chemo for breast cancer tomorrow. I don't envy their position at the moment, but I do think it is time to let the big boy have some peace. Apparently, sis younger sister who is suddenly all alone in the house barked for most of the night. Poor girl. It's a sad, sad situation.

[Not Afraid]

They are such great people too. They gave me a sizable tip today for taking care of him. I'm going to take it and make a donation to a Greyhound Rescue organization in Cody's name. They do amaing work and both of their dogs were adopted through this organization.

[Ghoulish Delight]

One step forward, two steps back.

So, my dad's been home for almost two weeks, and doing well. While recovery from the surgeries has been slow and painful, he's progressing far better than initially expected. The diabetes is under control with a single daily insulin injection, oral meds, and diet control. All is well, right?

Well, he started to have abdominal pain last night. And his blood sugar was way high this morning. So my mom dragged him to the emergency room...where they diagnosed him with gall bladder disease (seemingly unrelated to anything else). He's not exactly the standard demographic for this, the most common sufferers being people who fit the "Five F's" (Female, Forty to Fifty years old, Fertile, Fat, and Flatulent...nice eh?). He's just one of the lucky ones. :rolleyes:

So right now they're making him take a radioactive tracer so they can get a look at the gall bladder. If it's not too inflamed, it's a simple matter of laproscopic surgery to remove it. Relatively easy. If it is inflamed, lapro is too risky and they'll have to make a full incission. He does NOT need that at this point.

Sigh.
