Slipper Day

I brought my slippers to work today and am wearing them in the office. They are sweaters for my feet - nice. We are having 'casual week' at work this week because of the snowy weather.

Nothing else to report. Snow is pretty but driving sucks donkeys.

Quick quote :

Dwight Schrute: I.D. badges are long overdue. Security in this office park is a joke. Last year, I came to work with my spud gun in a duffel bag. I sat at my desk all day, with a rifle that shoots potatoes at 60 pounds per square inch. Can you imagine if I was deranged?

A new post! It's not that good though. It's actually quite lame,

Okay so I haven't posted in a really long time, but I saw Kim last night and that always makes me want to post my musings online... :)

Kim - I hope your Poli Sci presentation goes well today!! Sometimes I think I would like to go back to school, but then I remember that I hate homework. (Wait a second..... I have brought work home a few times in the last few months.... does that count??!).

So nothing much is new. Dad bought a SAUSAGE MAKER! That sounds like a double entendre (not sure how to spell that...), but it is not. He literally purchased an at-home sausage maker at Princess Auto for $13. He also bought some bulk meat from Costco and some casings (eww...) from who-knows-where (who the heck stocks sausage casings??). Anyways, he is very excited about adding spices and cheese and other stuff to his homemade brats. I think he is the most excited about eating a tube of meat with no (his words...) : "hooves, noses or a**holes" in it. GROSS. It makes me laugh though because he does the twisting motion with his hand when he talks about it (as if rolling down an old-school window). Hee hee! Maybe I'll get him some hand sanitizer for Christmas....

Bossman is here now. Back to work!

Quiznos Rocks

Driver Shaun brought me a delicious coffee this morning and it is yummy :)

I actually have lots of crap to do today - had long meeting with Bossman and other department Bossmen yesterday. Have to do the minutes and assign tasks that we talked about for our upcoming move :( I am very excited about moving though and having a change of scenery. All I ask is to not have my back to the room - my back is extremely unattractive and I am sick of people staring at it.

Had Quiznos has night for dinner.... they have double pastrami!! I wish it was triple pastrami, but that would be expensive (or just lots of shitty pastrami.... which is not fun at all). Gross. You would think that the term 'shitty pastrami' would make me not hungry, but it is actually just making me think of my lunch waiting in the fridge. I love lunchmeat - whoever has me for Christmas should know that....

Okay I have to do work now, but here are some quick quotes from Office Space (which I know I have done already but it is a sweet movie and I want to watch it again) :


Bob Slydell: I'll be honest with you, I love his music, I do, I'm a Michael Bolton fan. For my money, I don't know if it gets any better than when he sings "When a Man Loves a Woman".

Tom Smykowski: It was a "Jump to Conclusions" mat. You see, it would be this mat that you would put on the floor... and would have different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO.
Michael Bolton: That's the worst idea I've ever heard in my life, Tom.
Samir: Yes, this is horrible, this idea.

Peter Gibbons: Our high school guidance counselor used to ask us what you'd do if you had a million dollars and you didn't have to work. And invariably what you'd say was supposed to be your career. So, if you wanted to fix old cars then you're supposed to be an auto mechanic. Samir: So what did you say?
Peter Gibbons: I never had an answer. I guess that's why I'm working at Initech.
Michael Bolton: No, you're working at Initech because that question is bullshit to begin with. If everyone listened to her, there'd be no janitors, because no one would clean shit up if they had a million dollars.

Lawrence: Well, you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Take a look at my cousin: he's broke, don't do shit.

Samir: No one in this country can ever pronounce my name right. It's not that hard: Samir Na-gheen-an-a-jar. Nagheenanajar.
Michael Bolton: Yeah, well at least your name isn't Michael Bolton.
Samir: You know there's nothing wrong with that name.
Michael Bolton: There was nothing wrong with it... until I was about 12 years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys.
Samir: Hmm... well why don't you just go by Mike instead of Michael?
Michael Bolton: No way. Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.

Okay back to work :)

Who'll Stop The Rain??

It is pouring today. I was kinda frightened driving to work today because of all the hydro-planing (yikes). Plus I'm wearing heels and a skirt today which is going to make getting stranded even suckier. I'd better just hole myself up in the office until quitting time and hopefully the rain will have died down (despite the heavy rain/flood warnings on the radio...).

Mom & Dad came over last night and mom made my favoritist meal for me for my last night alone. We also watched 2 episodes of The Office and then watched The Amazing Race (I guess it was okay - not very amazing, but still mildly amusing.... it gets kind of repetitive after a few seasons. Oh no! Someone's taxi ran out of gas .... again!! Pul-leaze...). 3 taxis ran out of gas on yesterday's episode - doesn't anyone think to check the gas gauge of a cab before getting in?? Fools.

I had a wonderful weekend though - didn't drive the car at all. I only left the house a few times to walk the Moose around the block. Mark & Kylie came over for Mario Party on Friday night and I made Mark drink some beers (just to get them out of my fridge - they have been there for weeks and are taking up valuable real estate). I won the party by the way - kicked butt. Jennifer from Bible Study came over on Saturday night and we made chicken pasta and it was pretty nice. Weird to have someone over that I'm not related to... :)

Anyways, I am still in charge today here at work with Bossman gone. He has a funeral today and will be back in tomorrow. We have a big move meeting tomorrow so I guess I should get ready for that. Otherwise I'm going to kick back and watch the rain :)

Quotes!!

Michael: My Indian cultural seminar was going great until Toby decided that he was too immature to deal with culturally explicit images. It’s just sex, people. Everybody does it. I’m doing it with Carol. Probably tonight.

Michael: These s'mores are disgusting.
Carol: They’re not s'mores. They’re samosas.
Michael: Do you think they have any s'mores?

Pam: I feel a little under dressed. But at least I’m not dressed like a slutty cheerleader, right? Is that mean?

I love that Carol is thinking 'What am I doing with this man??' right up to the proposal (watching him dance and spit out food and take off his second head...). Then she hightails it right out of there But wait - he has a copy of the Kama Sutra... That comment pretty much seals the deal right there. And she's in her CRV on her way home, in her cheerleader costume.

(Mom/Kim - even though I just ruined the episode for you, I will make you watch it when I buy Season 3)

Jim Halpert - Assistant Regional Manager

Okay I'm here to post because Bossman is off until Tuesday (Family thing) and he put me in charge of the office. I will not abuse this new power because "with power comes responsibility" (Bossman's words - he says that is from Spiderman.... I have no idea). I also want to leave at the right time today and if I get too involved in work, I'll be here until 6.

I have to leave on time tonight because Brother Mark and (his) Girlfriend Kylie are coming over tonight to Mario Party :) I want to stop and get some food for them (Cornuts anyone?)

Anyways, J has been gone only 2 days and Moose and I are going nuts without him. I can't believe how much I miss him. I feel like I am back in high school and my lame-excuse-for-a-boyfriend-that-I've-been-seeing-for-2-weeks hasn't called in 4 hours. The days are okay because there are things to do and shows to watch, but the nights - "oh those winter niiiiights!"
I just miss him and want him to come back :)

Saweet Office last night - best quote of the episode :

"These are not my shoes."

Okay work to do!! More post this weekend
