Wait, I saw that movie.
I know. I know. The season in the movie is 2002. It is 2013. Nothing has changed. Ok, cause I'm a number's person I had to look it up. In 2002 the A's were 28 out of 30, so one position higher. Over the last 11 years, the A's payroll has increased by 40%. Over the same period the Yankees payroll increased by 57%. (Yes, I take this all too seriously, I know).
A side note - in looking this up, I saw that the Astros were 14th in 2002 and are currently 28th. Their payroll is actually less than it was in 2002. Yikes!
Accckkk. I killed Natter with numbers. Why is 6 afraid of 7?
Because 7 ate 9 OF COURSE.
Sorry about the work stuff, msbelle. I hope you find a new position soon, with people who treat you better.
I am reluctant to admit I might have seasonal allergies, but sneezing my way in to work every time it warms up just a bit suggests otherwise.
Wah, I am back at work. I am not pleased with this. (On the plus side, our team table is full of interns so I get to work in the kitchen today, which puts me much closer to the coffee.)
(My office has a really nice kitchen with a seating area, it's not like I'm sitting in the dishwasher.)
OMG, my coworker shaved his beard, and it's horrifying! Maybe I'll get used to it.
I went to BBAB the other day to get a CO2 refill for the Sodastream, and I handed the cashier my 20% off coupon. And he tut tutted and told me I should use a $5 off coupon instead (vs $3 off), and I explained this was all the couponage I had. I find it interesting that the staff doesn't expect me to pay full price for a $15 item, which is fair, because I pretty much never shop there without the right number of coupons in hand.
Banana Republic is becoming like that. No shopping unless at least 1 thing is 30% off, preferably most. If they're willing to have sales all the time, I'm willing to restructure the order in which I get things, so they know I'll at least check with them first. The arrangement works.
