My office building had its "ice cream social" this afternoon, including the suggestively named Magnum ice cream bars (which I had, because they are YUM).

I also had a cheeseburger at lunch.

I think I need to lie down so I can have my heart attack in a comfortable position.

I had a cheeseburger at lunch too! But no ice cream. (And I still don't think I've had the Magnum bar! WTF.) But someone left a bowl of candy outside my office, so.

You only need forgiveness if you left that as a comment.

That sounds about right. One time, at my parents' big Christmas party, one of my friends was all, "Who is THAT guy?????" Yeah, the one I used to babysit for? I don't think so. Edit: Actually, I think I said she could go for it, but to be aware that he's like 9 years younger...

Mm, heart attack food.

Hah! Yes. Also, go look at some pictures of hot older men to balance it out. There, don't you feel better?

My internet was gone, and they couldn't fix it online...and I had to wait around for the tech...except suddenly the internet is back! I'm not feeling this new cable company. Grr. I thought the LAST one was bad (they got taken over by this one) but geez! Three times now they've done something on their end that messes up my internet/cable/phone. They send a tech out (or in this case were going to) he looks at everything, calls them up, and they realize they need to flip a switch or click a box that magically became unclicked or whatever. Oy.

Now to go do some errands. I want to feel productive today, and tomorrow and Friday while I"m on vacation!!

Magnum bars have been very common in the Mediterranean for the past 20 years (like, when I went there all the time), and the ads there are RIDIC. "Io, e il mio Magnum" [me and my Magnum] the tagline, with a close-up photo of a woman's lipsticked mouth and the phallic ice cream bar about to enter it...

hey my local teavana is hiring.

Okay, I am ready for my new bank's site visit. It will be the first time I have had someone in my office as an office, ever.

There are boxes of unsorted paperwork stashed in the guest bedroom, but it is presentable in the office. And I slipshod cleaned the house, so they will not recoil in horror as they have to walk through to get to the office. I still have no idea at all what they are looking for, but I hope at the end of the visit, I have an application in for the remote deposit thingy.

That's the Platonic Buffista's nightmare job.

I have missed every ice cream social my job has ever thrown. At least 4 to date. Never sure why.

That...sounds about right.

Exciting!

I am actually doing some work, and solving problems left and right today.

I did not watch any of the RNC convention, but the quotes from speeches (accurate quotes, I might add) nearly made me stomp a hole in the floor.

How the fuck am I going to last through November, or the next four years if either one of them is elected? The national conversation is going to be fucked no matter what.

That was quick! They were here and gone, looked at everything, nodded, and I signed a paper. Yay for remote deposit! My life is about to get so much easier I can't even tell you!
