Random Notes From a Random Day

Posted in Day-to-Day, Events, Office, Song, Wine on June 7th, 2010
  • Passing a bus on a highway is easy. Trying to pass a bus before you get to a particular exit can be more challenging.
  • The vending machine supply company has caught on. We now have two full rows of chocolate-frosted Hostess Donettes in our vending machine. The one half-row sold out every week.
  • The generic burn-aid cream in the first-aid kit in the kitchenette smells funny.
  • The largest sterile gauze pad in the first-aid kit in the kitchenette is just about the right size for the burn on my left forearm.
  • Running a 5k after only two weeks of physical therapy requires me to make an increase in the quantity of ice packs we own.
  • Watching Doctor Who lends me a weak British accent at random points throughout the day.
  • I have two lunch meetings tomorrow. I’m going to eat at the first one (with a friend), and perhaps snack at the one featuring my new boss.
  • Mandrina shaved four minutes off her 5k time in her first race on Saturday. I added four minutes to the time from my last race. The universe likes balance.
  • The single-serve “iCup” vending machine in the kitchenette provided a hot-cocoa tease today. It cycled, and then… nothing. I used the other iCup machine, and got my cup of coffee.
  • I have a lot of work to do this week.
  • I have now almost set up a photogallery so I can upload any of the oodles of pictures I’ve taken over the last five years.

  • How long do I have to wait for the other party to call in for a teleconference before I can just throw in the towel and go on with my day? #
  • @cytherea I went with ten minutes. No one else called in. #
  • Three weeks ago I was looking forward to the meeting that was about to start. An opportunity to shine, etc. Now all I want to do is skip it. #
  • @pfqrst But November is over! #
  • After 7 hours, my 12 hour maximum strength Mucinex starts wearing off. #
  • Drunk Frisbee Golf on Wii Sports Resort? Okay! (I'm the little-bit-drunk one.) #

  • One of my coworkers doesn't think I can make it 72 hours (down to 70 hours now) without losing my cool completely. He may be right. #
  • What drink goes with Italian (eggplant parmesan, I think), black and white cookies (none to share, sorry), and wanting to kill coworkers? #
  • (The euphemistic kind of "kill", obviously.) #
  • (I'm not stupid enough to Tweet any intended homicides. I'd just change jobs instead.) #
  • (Note to self: Update resume…) #
  • I don't want to know what my wife thought I was going to do when I pulled my wallet out to get my work ID out. I fear it would be expensive. #

  • Watching my wife play Wii Sports Resort Plus Swordplay is EXHAUSTING me. #
  • @pfqrst Drive safely! #
  • I planned on rewatching ALL of Chuck before next Sunday's season premiere. I can only really watch at work. 35 episodes/5 days = 7 per day. #

  • My cat missed me enough that he kept purring while I was using him as a free weight for exercises. #
  • FYI: I previously fostered Paint It Black, and even named the little dude. #

  • @scarywhitegirl Yay Black! He had always been a little clumsy, but I'm sorry he's turned into a special-needs kitten. =( in reply to scarywhitegirl #
  • Waiting to board JFK-SEA. Increased security precautions? Not very increased. #
  • Since when has 4-H been involved in science, engineering, and technology off the farm? I've never seen robotics at any 4H exhibits… #
  • Glitch has forgiven my absence. He sat on my lap, whined until I put him down, stalked to the front door, and was waiting when I came back. #
  • @bolthy Really? Wow. I would have rather joined 4H than Boy Scouts… don't they have girls? #
  • @scarywhitegirl That news warms my little Black heart. #

  • I was going to upgrade my parent's finicky Vista machine to Win7, but the DVD drive doesn't work. Upgrading to Win7 would fix this… #

  • Okay, Christmas is over. Now what am I doing for New Year's? #
  • @pfqrst Have you seen what the new security protocols are for flying into the US? I'd love to join you in Paris, but not a cavity search! #
  • @pfqrst *sticks out tongue* #
