life, the universe, and donna

Was having a conversation with a co-worker about the flu. We have someone off sick today, and since he’s been plagued with this year’s flu, we’re very HAPPY he’s off sick today. So I got to thinking about sick days. I take a lot of them, unfortunately. I suffer from chronic migraines, and as mentioned [...]

This is a mad abuse of air conditioning. I am wearing a sweater, wrapped in a blanket, and STILL freezing my tuckus off. Dear Office Building People: Fuck you.

Last week, I bought a 24-case of diet coke for week. This should, theoretically, last me a good 2-3 weeks. Awesome. This morning, I got into work and found that SEVEN were missing. Seriously? Seven? What the hell? One or two, whatever… but SEVEN? I asked around the office, and one coworker mentioned that yes, [...]

Conversation with a coworker: Donna: I’m old now. Luke: happy birthday. how old are you now? Donna: TWENTY NINE! ancient. Almost as old as you! Luke: one away from 30 Donna: 364 days to go. Luke: for a woman you’re getting quite old Touche, Luke. Touche indeed.

I think I just had ten years taken off my life. Got into work about ten minutes ago, sat down, started opening up all my programs… you know, gmail, my rss reader, facebook… or more realistically, my ticket program, my work email, etc. Nobody else is in the office, so I’m still wearing my headphones [...]

Dave, aka He Who Owns the Company I Work for, has an iPhone. He’s very, very fond of his iPhone. A little TOO fond of his iPhone. I have, on several occasions, gone into the lounge to find Dave sitting on the couch playing with the damn thing. It’s a little disturbing, really. So today, [...]

Coworker: Do you still blog all the time? Me: Oh yeah. Coworker: What do you write about? Me: Well, a few days ago, I wrote about my girlparts. Coworker: This might be why I stopped reading your website… Me: Probably a good thing.

One of my coworkers has a habit of asking me terribly personal questions — I suspect this is to embarass me. The amusing part is that I’ll actually answer about half of them — generally, to try to embarass him back. So, we were talking about positions, and since I dislike the term “cowgirl”, I [...]

Found myself mildly annoyed by something at work today, and bitched about it to my employer, because hey, that’s what I do. This was the result: Dave: I have a video for you a self help video. I think it will really help you.. Make it easier for you to deal with situations like this [...]

“People are always telling me that my life is unfulfilled because I haven’t created new life. Not true! They haven’t looked at the bottom of my coffee cup… plenty of new life there!” …maybe I should stop leaving 6 or 7 half-full cups of coffee on my desk? Naaah.
