So, my job is basically to give people directions. It’s easy, but I like it. Sometimes I get some more interesting questions, though… “I need to be at 29th & Main & Broadway…” Uh… are you sure? Mom’s response: “I think I was there once in the ’80′s.” I laughed.

“…and that’ll drop you off at 4:57.” “No, I need to be there at 5…” “…” I love the general public.
I’m still not ready to talk

Or at least, not ready for any sort of back-and-forth conversation, but I am perfectly capable of rambling. So ramble I will. If you haven’t been following along, Nick broke up with me on Sunday. I am not a fan of this move and am instead completely devastated. The timing is definitely pretty shitty (learning [...]

The schools I have gone to: Alice Brown Elementary (first half of Kindergarten. Actually, I’m not sure if this was the school — give me a break, I was 4, what do I know? Anyway, it was an elementary school in Brookswood, I think this was it. Mom will correct me if I’m wrong.) Harold [...]

Did I ever mention how nice it is NOT to be the weird one in the office? Dave: Nick and I have a special bond Dave: I can tell by the way he avoids my extended eye contact whenever I see him Dave: And how he shuffles slightly away when I sit really close Donna: [...]

So, for those of you not playing at home, I work for a company that makes web based content management software. I run the support department, if by “run the” you mean “am the”. We downsized quite a bit last year, so instead of managing a fun little team of three or four like I [...]

How much do you think a stuck pixel (in this case, stuck neon green) would bug me? I recently asked my employer if I could buy one of our extra LCD monitors, because I love having dual monitors at work and would like them at home. He offered to let me have one. Well, score. [...]
FRIEND FAIL

Tonight is Nick’s work Christmas party. Should be fun. A thousand of my closest friends that I’ve never met, all of whom I’m supposed to make a good impression for. I probably shouldn’t talk about sex. Luckily, theoretically it’s all video game nerds. I can talk about video games. This’ll be easy, right? Right? Hello? [...]

Today, I’m wearing: a sweater. pants. ski jacket. arm warmers. toque. blanket wrapped around my legs. And a space heater blowing full blast on me. And I’m STILL freezing. Why? Because there were apparently some leaks in my office building, and they’ve shut off the heat while they work on fixing it. Worse, they’ve left [...]
