We're tied! Going into overtime! 'Cause I needed another sport.

Muhahahaha. I will convert you to the way of Fernet and hockey, oh yes I will.

Oh, the good old hockey game
Is the best game you can name.
And the best game you can name,
Is the good old hockey game!

I just got to hear my favorite line ever, "You can't score a goal off of of an official." Hee!

Oh, man. Fernet + Hockey sounds GREAT.

Sigh.

Damn, Vonnegut.

Saw him speak once.

It'd be hyperbole to say it changed my life, but it did kind of push me in a particular emotional direction that's not unhealthy. So maybe it's not entirely hyperbole.

New job sucked the life from me, today. Trying so hard to figure out what my place is. Though, I did buy myself a vase full of pink tulips for my desk and my pink checkered file folders came in today so I got started on my filing system.

Other than that, I'm paranoid that they'll realize how useless I am. It'll go away once I figure out what's going on and what I can force people to give up from their To-Do Lists (people are so wacky about giving up ridic tasks that cause them to be overwhelmed).

But my work station is a big wraparound desk with these awesome file cabinets that have cushions on top so you can also sit on them like a bench. There's a big window behind me, and unlike JPL, I can actually open the windows.

I have to print out some pics of Grace and Noah to go up on my picture collage.

Ordered my business cards, went grocery shopping to stock the freezer with Lean Cuisines.

Still fielding calls from JPL about various crap.

This is like a cricket match. How long can this thing go?

I hope it works out well.

How long can this thing go?

5 more game minutes, and then shoot-out.

Allyson, your work station sounds awesome. Settling-in~ma to you.

The first few weeks at a new job are the absolute worst. I hate that feeling of, "I suck and they were just blind to it and they'll find out I suck and fire me and then everything goes to shit and and and..."

You will do great and this feeling will pass and you will do great cause you are ALLYSON! Author of the fandoms! Conqueror of pesky expense reports! Dominatrix over complex travel plans! Organizer to the stars and Emmy-winners!

Are you getting the, "Look how awesome our players are, teaching kids to read," stuff that we are?

Crap. Playoffs. Shoot-outs are no longer in effect. Instead, we have an unlimited number of OTs. Oy vay. Still sudden death, though.

Plei, I would love to drink Fernet and watch hockey with you. If my parents' devious plan to move us all to Vancouver works out, this may becaome a reality.

Nah, I'm watching on Versus. Lots of Suzuki, Irish Springs, and Pennzoil commercials. I'm thinking they're going for the 18-35 male demo.
