THE Starbucks Guy

I read this article in the Post a few months ago about a guy trying to visit every Starbucks in the world. As I read, I cheered him on and envied his coffee consumption, but I also thought he was a little odd.

His name is now just Winter. And he is no longer Houston-based.

How do I know that?

I now work with him.

He sits on the other side of my cubicle wall.

Death of Blogging

Shit. My new job monitors our internet usage. So, this blog will prob not get updated very often now. Sorry, sports fans.

I am sneaking this blog entry as we speak. Shhhh.

Emotional vomit

Ever have one of those days or series of days where everything bad builds up in your mind? All your stresses and all the things that have pissed you off or hurt your feelings all seem magnified?

I was having one of those times 2 weeks ago. R and I were fighting about semi-serious stuff, but how the fights came about were stupid BS. But it all boiled over and we yelled at each other, then talked and talked and talked, then made up.

And now that I look back on what we were fighting about... there were some things that were bothering me for months and now that they are in the open, they don't even register emotion anymore.

It's like when you are really drunk or sick and feel like you need to puke and you know you'll feel better, but don't look forward to the act of puking itself. But then after you puke, you really DO feel better.

This is exactly the way this felt... it needed to be done, but I really didn't look forward to it.
But now that it IS done, I feel sooooo much better.

So I am coining a new phrase:

Emotional vomit.

One thing I like about my job...

well, I guess there are actually three things I like about my job today.

1. We have Columbus Day off as a paid holiday so I have a three day weekend this weekend.

2. Management is kissing our asses to raise morale, so we are having a catered breakfast AND a catered lunch today.

3. I will be leaving it soon...

BECAUSE I GOT AN OFFER FROM THE INTERVIEW!!

Saaaaaay whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!

woo woo woo woo woo

Can you say pay raise, jeans every day and 10 minute commute?

How happy am I?

I am so happy I could tap dance naked on the National Mall, titties and ass flying everywhere.

What have you learned today?

I learned that people from FEMA and the Florida state legislature read The Washington Post and then click on the Technorati link on whose blogs link to that particular article. I've gotten lots of hits just from linking to 2 articles yesterday.

Lesson learned: people all over the world fuck off at work, especially government workers.

Woohoo!

Poetic Justice

This is funny.

My fave line:
"the children responded the way they were instructed to by the suspect"

And we think children never learn.
