Oct. 7th, 2004 08:07 amMy boss needed to talk to me this morning. It was odd what we talked about. Not bad-odd exactly, but most definitely some flavor of odd. I'm not even sure what to think about it, that's how odd it was. And then I got an email about the next training class I'm scheduled for, which lasts about an hour longer per day that I normally have to work. Interesting...
Anyway, I've decided to not take Monday off. I was going to... I prefer not having to rush back from my parents house. But there's a report I need to do on Mondays that I *just* got working, and I'd like to be able to do it and have it in on time for once. Please, just once! And the international affairs people will be in town, which is always entertaining. Not entertaining like the circus, but still. Something different. And it'd be nice to have an additional vacation day that I can use during the holidays, in case it snows or something. Or perhaps if I just want to actually do something later.
The clubhouse at my development got new exercise equipment, which I still haven't gotten to use. On the one hand, I feel very lazy. On the other, I've been busy, sick, and tired. I've also been having a good time with the busy part, so I can't really complain. Much. So. Sometime soon I'll go try it all out, hopefully.
So yesterday I was walking around Philly looking at halloween decorations and such and I realized that this will be the first time in probably eleven years that I will be spending halloween without![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sidruid and that's WEIRD!!! From when I met him till now, neither of us has been absent on that day. It's just weird!!! It does kind of make sense that people thought we were dating every so often I guess. It won't be the same though, it really won't. It'll probably be easier for sidruid, being in a cool foreign country and all. But halloween is our holiday!!!

Oct. 5th, 2004 03:22 pmSo I did close my bank account today. But I partially chickened out of what I told tanaise. See, instead of saying it was *just* because they changed their lobby color to red, I said that I already had other bank accounts and that them changing the lobby color to red was really just the last straw. It really was. Honestly.

Oct. 5th, 2004 01:45 pmWell, sleeping for somewhere between ten and twelve hours certainly did improve my attitude towards life. For instance, I now am more or less happy to be awake. But there is something that I really truly have to pound into my head somehow. See, I keep forgetting to take my allergy pills. After all, it's not like I have allergy symptoms, so I forget and then randomly I'll scratch myself or lean against something or whatever, and then I look like a big goddammed freak who's been whipped repeatedly. Anyone have any ideas on this? To make me remember to do it, that is. I mean, I know the consequences, but I tend to forget how annoying it is when it's not happening.

Oct. 4th, 2004 01:55 pmSo very tired today. Very very. Want to fall asleep right here, except it's just not comfortable. Want to go home and vegetate... still not feeling well either. Very lightheaded. And the sadness... my mp3 player ran out of juice on the way here, so the train home will be a silent one.
teapot_farm is out roaming the world (near to cissa actually) but will return here tomorrow. Again, anyone looking for her can find her there. And on the weekend she and dreadpiratetait battered at me until I gave in and bought a fantabulous cape-type thing from the Celt-Iberia store in New Hope. Evil people making me spend money. But anyway, we'll be in Philly on Wedsnesday to see crowyhead!!!
So tired. And I've got another dentist thingy tomorrow. Bleh.
My boss has apparently decided to include pictograms in things I have to transcribe now. There was an up arrow, which I translated as "increase". It flowed that way, whereas saying "up arrow" probably wouldn't've. This kind of thinking is obviously what makes me admin...
Other travel notes. So I'll be visiting my family this weekend. No time to see other people though, sorry other people. I'll be back at turkey time for an entire week though.
See, scattered and lightheaded. I so should go home...

So teapot_farm is here! Yay!!! The flight was long... 7 1/2 hours, but she got to see Greenland out the window, which kind of made up for it. Customs apparently were a breeze, she got asked tougher and more probing questions attempting to get through security at Gatwick than she did here. Funny how things change, yet remain the same. And so then eventually I showed up to get her. I totally should've gone back for my car first, I know better now. Taking the Airtrain and NJ Transit is a total bitch with luggage. You'd think I'd know better, it's not like I've never done it myself. But well... I don't generally go on flights that are that long and I often travel fairly light. Anyway, so she's all jet-lagged and camping out at my house now. Anyone desiring to speak to her should call there. Oh, except I might've turned the ringer off on the phone. Um. Ho hum. I'll fix it later.
Anyway, it's fab that she's here and stuff. And there's still stuff to do! There's an art festival in New Hope this weekend, and she's not been to Philly yet, and she so needs to go to the Amish market, as well as a mega-huge grocery store. Maybe Costco too. Nothing says scary more than that. Well, perhaps the Palisades Mall, but that might scare her too much. She's refusing to go see Shark Tale though. Damn her!!!
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas for what I can introduce my oh-so-British friend to, do let me know.

A Topic of Annoyance
Sep. 30th, 2004 10:45 amThere are things that annoy me in this world, lots of them. I'd like to talk about one of them now. Basically it's about people who argue things that are completely beside the point of what you're actually discussing. I may be alone in getting annoyed about this, hell, I probably am, but the urge to kill keeps rising when I'm confronted in this way. Perhaps it's a leftover remnant of childhood, talking to my father is often even now at crosspurposes. I'm not sure if it's a listening issue or a comprehension issue or what. Depending on the person, I suppose it may have to do with things that push their buttons. And I guess once you find those triggers for specific people you can decide whether to exploit that or avoid those topics. It's useful to know things like that. With my father it's more like he hears part of what you say, grasps onto one part, makes assumptions about it, then will argue about it until you agree just so he'll shut the hell up even when it actually has little to no impact on the original debate or conversation. I have friends like this as well, sometimes I'm more tolerant of it than other times. Plus some people are easier to distract to another topic.
But so I just got into one of those kinds of discussions (read: argument) here at work. It took a lot of willpower for me to not just say, "S____, you're an ass!!!" Of course, the reply I actually gave him after trying unsuccessfully to explain the actual point wasn't *much* better. It was something along the lines of an exasperated, "You know what S____? How about I print out the article, you can read it and actually be informed about what the topic really is, and then you can go rant at someone else." I'm pretty sure he knew what I meant, ie. "You're an ass!!!" It's not that I don't find other peoples opinions valid, valuable, possibly interesting or anthing like that. But yes, you know what, when someone is being argumentative and passionate over something really dumb or completely tangential to what is being discussed, I do indeed feel superior. I realize how self-involved that sounds, but at this moment I'm not really in the caring kind of way. RAH!!!!

Sep. 29th, 2004 01:35 pmSo I went shopping with dreadpiratetait last night. And I have to say this: The next time I go shopping at Victoria's Secret, I really need to take drugs first. I looked a serious freak.
But anyway, in other ways the shopping went well. I have a new pair of shoes, neccessary now that teva season has ended and winter hasn't begun. Sadly, there were no new work clothes to be had, partly because I refused to step foot in the Limited for fear of spending lots and lots of money, and partly because that Macy's has the major suckage going for it. So going to a different mall next time. Luckily, NJ is filled with them.
The one really difficult part of the shopping was looking at the puppies. I can't help it, I always have to go in and look at them. And it's a bad thing to do.

Sep. 29th, 2004 10:51 amSo this morning marks the second time that I've jumped onto a moving train. Once I really would've thought this not likely to happen ever, never mind twice in a year. My train-hopping grandfather would've been so proud!!!
But apparently everyone who was amazingly late yesterday decided to show up early today. So I got the last spot in the regular trackside lot, then ran for the train, and jumped on right after this other guy did*. The conducter, lovely man that he is, grabbed me to make sure I didn't fall backward off the train. So all in all, an invigorating start to the morning...
Then I sawdigriz at the other station. He seemed confused to see me but still tolerated me talking to him and poking him until we got to his stop. Of course, he's probably cursing my early-morning cheeriness even as I type this.
* A note about my station: it has low platforms, so they use the stairs on the train. so to close the doors, they have to shut the traps first. which means that adventurous/stupid people can sometimes jump on right as it's pulling out.

Life, randomized
Sep. 28th, 2004 02:25 pmOne of my two showerheads is held onto the wall with a suction thingy. Sometimes (actually, only in the middle of the night) it falls off the walls. Sometimes it'll do this every day, sometimes every few months. Maybe it's taking lessons from the other appliances.
The washing machine is also having issues. I think it's off balance, but I'm not sure how to fix it, especially given that there's a dryer on top of it. Soon I will have no actual all in working order things in my home.
I went to see the last play I did the set for. I'm not sure how anybody can not laugh when several people yell, "Flying monkeys!!!"
Commuting this week has been exceptionally nightmarish. So far I've clocked 8 hours. Bleh. I have managed to successfully avoid actually clocking anyone though.
And in the category of things I never thought I'd hear myself say, even more so at work... "How can you listen to Kenny Rogers without having the gambler on it???"
And in the category of WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?! I just found a pebble in my fig newton. Ew. They are so going to hear about that.

Sep. 24th, 2004 09:59 amThanks to sarudy, I now know about The Last Starfighter, the Musical. And I must see it! Mostly because I can't really imagine it as a play, never mind a singing, dancing musical. So yeah!!!
And a question for anyone who frequented my brief (very brief) time of hostessing movie nights at the coffee place in Highland Park... did we actually watch this movie there? (yeah, great hostess I was, I can't even remember what was shown...)

Sep. 20th, 2004 04:12 pmThe weekend was totally fabulous. Generally birthday weekends are kind of hit or miss with what you do. But this one... this one was really good. Pretty much the whole thing. The party on Friday was fab (mostly due to sidruid, who is a fantastic party host, even when he's not really the host), Saturday was really and truly great, Sunday I went on a little mini shopping spree and then bartered some ice cream for a dinner. All in all, v. good. My house isn't even destroyed. It's impressive.
Over the weekend, I also killed two of the tomato plants. They displeased me and deserved to be destroyed. Actually, all the seasonal stuff will be getting tossed within the next few weeks anyway, and I really have to move the big trees back in the house, but, like, they're heavy, so yeah. Soon, really soon.
Then I came to work. And honestly it didn't suck. I started reading Bitten on the way in, which took the edge off of Monday, then I had to hostess again (hopefully for the last time this week, so I could, I dunno, get something done eventually) and then I chipped a tooth... there's really nothing to say about that. It doesn't really hurt, I'm going to go attempt to have it fixed tomorrow. They'll probably tell me I should get some randomly expensive procedure, as per usual...

Sep. 17th, 2004 03:11 pmThank you people for the good wishes... I'd reply to everyone individually, but... well, I *am* working. But it was much appreciated!
So odd b-day things at work. Christian Bale and fantabulous singing... bunnies, I think, for ecards. There were two cakes in the afternoon, a tirimisu and a chocolate mousse. (lines of communication are perhaps not totally clear, but hey, two cakes are never a bad thing) Then when I got back, there was a fedexed box of roses in my office. May I just say whoa. That was ever so slightly out of the clear blue sky.
Oh, and when I was hostessing, one of the execs told me I looked older today than yesterday. I think it's either that my hair is poofier or that I'm wearing black, but I'm not sure. He meant it in a good way though, apparently. I told him it was my b-day, so obviously I *should* look older. Later he told me that I was a very nice young lady, but there has to be something else, and I told him that deep down I was really evil. Then another executive jokingly offered a date with his son. All in all, an odd day here.
And so there will be leftover chocolate mousse cake tonight, for those coming. And lots of other stuff. Josh is out shopping for the other stuff as I type this probably. Goodsidruid! Plus he's good with the cheese selection...

Sep. 15th, 2004 11:17 amAnyway, so all this week I have to hostess. Part of hostessing is to write the daily specials on a sign. (Part of hostessing also seems to be minesweeper, but we'll ignore that for now) So this is what I wrote for the vegetables... "Baked Potatoes, Mixed Bears" That right, mixed BEARS!!! They'll lie in wait, mixing it up until you come by and then they'll attack!!! And it'll be like when bears attack part 27!!! I fixed it, though I was sorely tempted to leave it for the execs to see...
This will probably be funnier if you read this entry, it's me trying to do a menu on a recording... http://www.livejournal.com/users/podling/19015.html

Sep. 15th, 2004 10:21 amSo last Sunday sidruid and I accompanied several of my family members to New Hope, which is a ride of about 45 minutes. And while on the way there we started talking, and it seemed that both of us had pretty much always sat on the same side in the backseat when we were younger, and that as adults, we still kind of do. I naturally gravitate towards the seat behind the driver, and he always sits behind the passenger. It's not like either of us kick others out, but... yeah. So take the poll, it's just like research for social sciences.
[Poll #350509]
ps. I'd like to wholeheartedly recommend the taco place near the train tracks in New Hope. Mmmm tasty!

Sep. 14th, 2004 10:58 pmAnd I am back online!!! It's been a rough few weeks without my computer, but it's back, and it's better, and it loves me again. Okay, it doesn't love me really, but at least it's not possessed. Or rather, if it is possessed, it's possessed by me.
Anyway... short things I meant to post recently:
Driving around aimlessly (well, actually, it was purposefully, but driving around procrastinating seems aimless) in MA way back when (2 weekends ago) I saw a sign on a bar that said, "Dar Bah". Say that out loud, pretending you're a masshole when you say it. Cracked me up! I was so wishing I had a phone in my camera when I saw it.
The spider that lived in, on, and around my car died a rather windshield smudging death on the way back from said trip. And I know it wasn't very life affirming to kill it, but you know what? That sucker taunted me more than once, and he creeped me right the fuck out. I possibly could've done it less messily, but I was on the GSP when I did it.
Plus I keep using that phrase, "creeped me right the fuck out" but I'm really not sure why. It's like it's stuck in my head on a repeat loop. Like when someone staying at my house randomly screamed at 4 a.m. Creeped me right the fuck out! So did the trailer for that movie White Noise. So don't need to see that and give my electronics ideas. Just the trailer creeped me out!!!
The learning to be nice to my coworkers class went pretty well. It turns out I'm an analytic expressive, which as far as I can tell in gamer geek terms means lawful evil. Which is funny, as I would've probably pegged myself as neutral good. Though I did peg myself as analytic expressive. That must be the analytic part coming right to the fore. Anyway, the class was decent and it forced me to confront the fact that the issues I have with specific people at work are actually *not* things that can be changed very much by behavior modification. One is a simple lack of respect, in both directions, and the other... well, no matter how I try to get someone to do something, if they're not willing and able to do it... yeah. So, in a way it was frustrating. In another... I think it was good.

Sep. 14th, 2004 03:04 pmOkay, so Friday's party... I'm going to say arrivals may start arriving at 7:30pm. Likely festivities won't start till after that.
[Poll #350069]
If anyone is directionless, do let me know.
Edit: I probably should've put an option that says, "Technically speaking we're not that far, but the train is evil, so no." because I really think that would've worked for a couple of people. Heh.

But see, I decided not to do the big andrea-con party, in favor of camping, which I then didn't plan, then I was going to go on a kayaking thing on Friday (which I might still do, if I have any other takers, though it's looking like we'll have to go to the same place if we want longer than 2 miles).
ANYWAY... so on Friday night, party at my place in honor of me being born!!! We're going to attempt to break in the fondue pot (because I'm bad and haven't used it). So I guess we'll have fondue-y things. I'm not sure what those are, but I have several days to figure it out. Maybe we'll have other stuff if I become motivated.
So. Crash space available for people I like. Oh, and apparently there will be a new NEW new to me futon mattress!!! (courtesytygerseye and betra) Come one, come all!

Sep. 8th, 2004 09:10 amThere are 4 versions of Candyland. 4!!!! Because I needed *that* to be true. I hope there's a director somewhere who will tell me which one we want. eep. I have a clear favorite, but I somehow doubt that's the one they want.
