Well he should give Iguchi a consolation kiss anyway, since Ig came in 4th in the ROY balloting.

Feh, I say. You shouldn't be able to win Rookie of the Year if you're not a rookie.

I did know Ozzie was a kisser. I did not know that Carl Everett would be okay with being kissed, but perhaps Ozzie won him over (or is more circumspect with his kissing than reports imply).

He has to push it for himself; otherwise when the elevator arrives, it will only take you.

It bugs me when i'm standing in front of the elevator, the light is on, therefore proving I have pushed the button, and some schmo comes along and pushes it again.

That's fun too.

Because, obviously, I haven't pushed it right.

Or maybe the schmo figures that girl-pushes don't count.

I will never understand people that push the elevator button repeatedly, as if the force their exerting on button will be somehow pumped into the elevator mechanism and cause it to move faster.

My dog (yeah, it's all dog, all the time with me these days for some reason) won't let anyone pet her in the elevator on the way down. Up is fine, just not down. I'm pretty sure the problem is that it could distract her from using her full powers of concentration to make the elevator go faster.

It's funny that we both assumed a male schmo. Allyson didn't provide a pronoun. Is schmo gender specific?

See that doesn't bother me, because it's just one more person who's stupider than me. I like it when there's lots of people stupider than me.

You know when you recognise a mannerism on someone and you think "Wow, on you that's a killing offense!" and yet you know that on a given friend it's beyond charming.

Of course, it's possible that I'm really very grumpy and cold.

I'll push buttons uselessly out of frustration, but it's not something I do in front of strangers, because it's idiot behaviour.

I'm grumpy and cold, too!

In other news, I just discovered that you can, indeed, see one of the neighboring mountains out my office window. I have lived here for what, four years? And I have always complained to myself that I can't see that particular mountain. It's really lovely, gets nicely snow-capped in the winter, etc. If we were going to buy property here, I was going to site the house so I could see that mountain. There's another, bigger one, but it's obscured by the mesa.

Turns out, it's totally right there, I just never noticed.

This clearly means that I am a button pushing dork.

Is schmo gender specific?

Yes. The female form is 'schmotrix.'
