Wow, those are some awful things.

I keep trying to give my work phone away, but no one will take it because it's the phone random people in Brazil call for miracles.

Oh, Dana.

So you know how it is usually nosy adults telling/asking you when you are going to have kids? I got a twist on that. One of a coworker's daughters got along well with me and felt there were far too few kids her age at the picnic. So "Sara should have some kids."

I refuse to use our PA system at work. Coworkers look at me funny because I'll get up and walk that ten feet to deliver a message, but then, they also look at me funny for taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Maybe they think someone in IT should be a technophile about everything?

Well, I finally found pictures of my parents' neighborhood by going to a forum set up by my old grade school.

We have a radio system at work, I used to hate using it. We all have radio call signs and I used to hate hate hate getting on that thing and speaking. Especially if there was another radio around and I had to hear my voice screwing up information.

I've gotten better at it, but I still hate using the thing.

Okay, ow. Now I have hot tea up my nose, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't belong there.

I hate using the phone.

I got lucky at work because the person who had my extension before me sweettalked the IT guy into taking it off the main netword - so that when the receptionist isn't at her desk, I'm the one person who cannot pick up the phone when it rings as we're supposed to do.

I hate using the phone but I can fake it ok. PA systems are a whole other kettle of fish. I should never be allowed near one.

Singing or standup?

Speaking of the phone, I pick up the Dean's phone sometimes, and I just got to talk to Lillian Vernon HERSELF. V. exciting.
