December 2010
I just spent $99 on something that I haven't seen...
apparently I’m insane.

I bought myself a Christmas Present.
I ordered myself this:
It’s shipping UPS ground from New Jersey. It says it left yesterday but with the weather up north maybe I’ll get it sometime… next spring?

Me: “Thanks for calling [credit card company], how can I help you today?”
Caller: “I bought my crops on Farmville using your card. I forgot to water them and they’ve all died. Am I covered on purchase protection for that?”
Me: “Seriously?”
Caller: “I thought you’d be like that. Thanks anyway.” *click*
I’ve got nothing for the movie meme. I don’t really look like anybody famous. I am constantly being mistaken for other women, just not any well known ones.
Deb is okay.

Can’t say anymore than that, but she is fine.
Yay!
Well that’s a relief at least.

Isn’t my daddy handsome?

Truthful Tuesday
I have yet to reach the level of maturity required to send out Christmas cards. So to those who sent them to me. It’s not that I don’t love you, it’s that I fail at that kind of grownup responsibility and discipline required to sit down and take care of that. Also, I love you too and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I promise to make an attempt to get my grown up act...
I wish I was asleep.
Also… I hate ants.

Merry Christmas
(For those of us on the East Coast anyway, the rest of you will just have to wait a little longer.)
Happy Holidays everyone!
I hope you all have an excellent Christmas and manage to tolerate your relatives with a minimum amount of liquid support. Don’t scratch annoying Uncle Bob’s eyes out when he tells that stupid story for the 32nd time and enjoy the warmth and love of families and friends.
I’ll talk to you guys later. I need to see a guy about some reindeer.

Can we just skip to the part of today...
where I’m not in front of my work computer. I am so over this week. (On the upside my computer does appear to be working today.)
Whew...
Not fired and work computer only partly hosed, not completely hosed. So no free day, but also not fired! On the other hand… no fired and no winning lottery ticket.
I can't tell...
of the “likes” I got on my post about work are sympathy likes, empathy likes or “Nyah-Nyah you’re hosed” likes.
Sooo...
Theoretically if I was laid off/fired yesterday someone from work would have called to tell me right?
Can’t get connected to work today. Cisco isn’t working, my e-mail isn’t coming through… so yeah…
