Just a little too much info…

Tuesday, October 9th, 2001

so, there’s this systems admin, let’s call her “Rebula,” that sits in the cubicle-pen next to mine, and she just announced that her “servers-have-gone-down” beepers are going to go off in a minute, so she’s going to run to the ladies room before she’s trapped at her desk for the next two hours, and no […]

What would a Monday be like without a conspiracy?

Monday, September 24th, 2001

So, I got to thinking last night about a new plot against the consuming public: Vacuum Cleaning Products!
Last night, we were cleaning up the house, and the vacuum bag was full — we vacuum a lot, but it was really full. I had to go out and buy new bags, and while I was walking […]

Well, funk you very much!

So, I’m on a conference call this afternoon…a sales call, for a new third-party software solution for something or other that our company really doesn’t need, but feels they should spend $300K+ on. I HATE salespeople! I hate being pitched an idea from someone who knows less than I do on a topic (shit, less […]

Ok, this is erika. I’m tired of seeing jay’s post about fingers typing lightly or something like that, so I’m posting for him, just so I’ll see something new for the next week while I get on his ass to actually post about everything going on. he’s so difficult like that.

Ok…tiny thing that annoys me: when someone is idle on AOL IM and posts a note that they are “away from my computer.” No shit! You’re idle! Now, if they gave me a little more information — “I’m away from my computer, making a sandwich, and watching Maury” or “checkin’ out the chicks in the […]

That’s “Doctor” Minorthird

Ok, so maybe I’m getting a little ahead of myself, but I’m getting ready to take my diagnostic math exams next week, because…I’m going back to school, baby! woo-freakin-hoo!
After six years of talking about it, I’ve been accepted (which means I actually sent the application in — thanks Majorthird), and I’m gonna start taking classes […]

New Lease on Life? Maybe just a sublet…

Friday, August 17th, 2001

so, it’s been about a month and a half since I last posted anything…during that time I changed hosting providers, and start class, again. I’ve got one week left in my English 102 class, and I must say, without getting too full of myself: I’m kicking ass! I’ve gotten “A”s on my first two papers!
I’ve […]

Basic Skills Lesson #2

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2001

If, for some reason, you think it’s ok to pass gas, break wind, cut the cheese, fart on a crowded, semi-crowded, empty subway or bus, IT’S NOT! DON’T DO IT!

so…the law and I have found this odd obsession with a construction site near work. Every morning, it seems, we stand there admiring the deftness of the backhoe operator — I’m talkin’ real skill! Not only can he dig a hole (any size you want) but he can drive 2×6 boards into the ground to […]

*yawn*

I know it’s been a while…it’s not that I don’t have anything to say, it’s just that I’ve been having some problems with my hosting provider: THEY SUCK!

I’m back, though…
