"yes to life! yes to love! yes to staying in more!"

I'm totally turning into Liz Lemon. But with contacts. And cargo pants/tshirt uniform instead of jeans/vneck sweater/button down shirt.

So shall i stay in tonight and make cookies (preferred) or go out to the local science museum's adults only night? Going out costs $10 and i'm unlikely to talk to anyone. But it does look interesting.

And he did the dishes! It's like my brithday started 1 day early.

If given a choice, I would always go with Science.

oy. This day started WAY too early. OMG! Blah. Humbug. And I still have two more meetings to go! I need a shot of something to perk me up. Ran out of steam at lunch.

I have wholly unreasonable love for SE:SA's "Like This Like That".

I have often been picked up as being not friendly enough in the office. And I work with actuaries. (Used to, anyway.)

I like my current job, but I have no desire whatsoever to be friends with most of my work colleagues, especially those with whom I work most closely. Whenever we have a social do, over 90% of the conversation is on one of two subjects:

1. Sports, specifically Aussie Rules, cricket and soccer (none of which particularly interest me)
2. What I would euphemistically describe as 'gender relations'.

I spent most of these events alternately bored and appalled. Not looking to continue the experience outside of work hours.

Condo suckfest continues. Just crossing everything that the crazy lady living there leaves as planned.

My neighborhood is making me cry today. A neighbor moved to oregan to help her son get a kidney transplant. His first was at age 7 - and today he got another. Her thank you was enough, but then some one else got on the egroup and started listing all the good things that people do for each other around here. there may be a huge amount of stupid stuff on the egroup - like traffic stories - but a good place

Wishing you the best Nora

Oof. Driving up and down hills when the roads aren't plowed yet is not fun. My car handles skids really well, though.

Anyone else picturing Hil doing Tokyo Drift?

ION - in last meeting for the day. Exhausted! One of the students has a glass bottle of Mexico Coke Cola (sugar instead of HFCS), and I am wanting one so much now!! The drive home should be fun.

quester I've gotten some flack for not being friendly enough and getting dinged by a former supervisor for not being chipper enough in the mornings. Normally when she would come in I'd say "hi" or "morning" or just nod at her if I was busy on the phone or something. I realized she wanted me to say not just "Good Morning" but "Good Morning Her Name". So I started doing that and it made a difference and i'm better about saying people's names when I greet them.

My current boss is pretty easy going. I get treated like an adult and have some lee way in how I treat people on the phone. I work for an association so I have to be polite and grin and bear it for any member or caller who is part of the profession we represent. But if someone who is just "the public" calls and starts to get rude or verbally abusive, or just plain annoying I have my boss's (and his boss's) permission to hang up on them.
