that Cracked.com article is fantastic

I couldn't get past the picture of Pacey. There's an article?

Oh, Joshua Jackson. You, like fine wine and George Clooney, just get so much better with time.

Just moved cubicles. Wheee? At first they had me going into, what I consider, a bad luck cubicle. Last two people in that cube were fired/placed on mental leave. No thank you. Now I'm all moved into a different cube. It is going to take a while to get used to the new place.

We had to move because our old space is needed for storage. wtf?!?!?

Are you away from super stinky smoker guy?

Oh, oh, yeah!!! He is technically a teleworker. When he comes in he will be using a cube near my new area, but I have different route of escape now instead of HAVING to walk by where he is sitting.

It is amazing how little stuff I had to move. The vast majority is my desk toys and personal stuff. Guess we are taking steps closer to a paperless office.

I concur with all statements previously made here re: Highlander.

That Cracked article has made me realize why I haven't "done more" with my life: it's not because I'm not a supergenius! It's because I'm a regular human who's lazy and gets bored easily, and doesn't want to invest many many years doing *anything*. ...No, wait, I knew that.

I called in sick to work again today, because the chainsaws and woodchipper started up again at 9am. It's all about 50 yards from my office window, and I couldn't deal. Maybe I'm a whiny baby, but how the hell am I supposed to concentrate with screeching machinery AND an earache that makes wearing earplugs uncomfortable? It's been quiet for a couple hours now, but the machine is still there, lurking, waiting for me to drop my guard and relax. I have no hope for continued silence until I can look outside and that big yellow menace is gone.

When do we do onerous tasks again? Soon I hope. I actually did a few this week but there are others looming.

Oh Zen, I feel your pain. I went through a whole summer when they were building (a massive, ostentatious, monstrosity of) a house on my block and there was loud construction noise from early am until nearly 8 pm every day. You couldn't spend any time on the deck at all, and even inside it was incredibly aggravating. (And then they finished it, and it blocks most of my view and sunlight. Awesome!)

We had to move because our old space is needed for storage. wtf?!?!?

Yeah, I'm going to need you to move your desk as far back against that wall as you can get it.

Sorry.

Hub's bar is up for a few categories here [link] You can vote for it if you feel like (The Grapevine Bar) and/or you can write him in for Best Bartender (Jon Bryan, The Grapevine Bar).

Oh god it started again. I hate these people. All this just to cut down some pretty trees.

Did you get earplugs, Zen?

My only thing with mine (to cover up hubby's snoring) is that I don't always hear my alarm going off.

Has this week seemed really really long to other people? Not bad, just long.

OTOH, it's Friday! I hope other people have more exciting weekends planned than I do (laundry, naps, rain)
