Happy Birthday, Amy!

Whoops. I took a shower and was a little late for a con call (they don't need me for the first half hour, so who cares, right?) and by the time I dialed in, all the con call slots were taken up. And I'm definitely on the agenda for later in the meeting. Luckily I had the cell number of someone in the meeting and she has mine, so she'd be likely to answer in the middle of the meeting and they kicked someone off for me.

Whoops.

But I am so fresh and so clean clean.

I was supposed to have a call an hour ago and I couldn't find my cell. I looked high and low without luck. Finally messaged a co-worker and asked her to call my cell. It was under my laptop. Oy.

Still haven't had the call - I'm assuming the PM got pulled onto something else this morning. Now I'm afraid to hop in the shower cause connecting with this guy is rough and we have to have this talk today.

Happy Birthday, Amy!

I'm listening to yesterday's Fresh Air on intunes. The author of a book about Small Pox and state ordered vaccinations is on - very interesting.

I think I found a site that has more time wasting potential than Drench does [link]

For example, did you know:
The average American will eat 35,000 cookies in a lifetime.

Approximately 850 peanuts make a 18 oz jar of peanut butter.

Ten per cent of the salt mined in the world each year is used to de-ice the roads in America.

The site also has a section on insults, riddles, jokes, humor, wordplay, and mind games [link] and a section on Chicago: [link]

Shower, Suzi. It works wonders.

They've put off my change for this weekend. I worry that no one trusts me anymore.

Some ad told me that the average American owns 12 cars in their lifetime. Which means some people own tons (tommy, I'm looking at you), because I'm certainly not doing my share of the heavy lifting.

Does leasing count? My dad gets a car lease from his office, and he gets a new one every four years. (He actually doesn't really care about new cars, and he's still driving a ten-year-old Camry, but my mom likes the new cars, so she picks out the office one and she drives it for those four years and then gets a new one.)

Huh. Lemme think:

1. A crappy Dodge Omni that abandoned me on Route 128 in rush-hour traffic when the clutch cable broke. Hated that car.

2. A used Subaru hatchback I drove for about six years and then traded to my parents for my mother's

3. Honda Civic. Which I also hated: it was underpowered and had no A/C, and the tape deck broke, and it wasn't a hatchback.

4. 1998 Subaru Outback Sport (the little one): 4-door hatchback with CD player, A/C, and AWD. It doesn't get great mileage but since I don't commute in it I don't mind much.

That's 4 cars in 29 years of driving; at this rate, I'll own another 4 before I die.
