Office people….

Developer....
So - I was tasked with updating this really crappy project plan. The plan itself was fine, there were just no tasks in it for the majority of the group. There is, however, one person who has been religiously updating his piece of the plan. So I walked over to tell him that I am working to update the rest of the plan and basically not to freak out because it won't look the same and eventually his plan will disappear. He started talking to me, trying to tell me the way I should be doing what I was doing, like what I was doing was incorrect. Then it hit me, he is a developer. He thinks that just because I am a project coordinator and not a developer that I am not smart. So he was talking to me like I was a stupid person.

Man is he ever wrong. I really feel bad for him. Cause he has no idea.

Woman with attitude...
There is this woman in my office, she is one of those positively negative people. You know one of those people who are negative in a positive way so that their negativity can almost be mistaken for a positive attitude. At least until you spend time near them and feel like every time they open their mouth a steam roller is coming towards you and when they are done talking you are just exhausted and aren't sure if you can continue with your day. Every once in awhile, after dealing with this woman, I feel like sticking a pencil in my eye, cause it would make me feel better than dealing with her.

And she sighs a lot.

So - I was in the restroom doing my thing and there is someone in another stall. And then I hear the deep sigh. And I think, "in the restroom? I don't EVEN want to know what is so bad that she does that in the restroom..."

Tuesday!

Tuesday!

So - I had my entire morning planned out, I had a list of things to accomplish before noon and I had every intention of getting them all completed. Then the train was 1/2 hour late. I am close to having things completed, but not like I wanted to. Ahh, the joys of mass transit! But I still love riding the train. Even if we were late, my job has no life threatening components, so there wasn't a lot of stress involved.

I was e-mailing Carrie and Enchi because I realized I don't have either of their telephone numbers any more and was hit with a wave of homesickness. Sometimes I miss my friends so much... I wonder if they know that?

Oh well

On to other things!

Freeman and I were talking about taking a trip over to the rain forest. We'll see if we get there, but it would be a fun excursion to go on. It has been rainy so the moss would be lush... and there is nothing like a NW Forest to get the imagination running wild...

I was out searching the net again and came across http://www.similarminds.com/ which is this nifty little site with all these personality tests. I love personality tests. And I still test as an INFJ on the Meyers Briggs test, so even if they are abbreviated tests they still have some accuracy.

What a weekend!

What a weekend! Not happy to be back at work... The weekends are never long enough. There are always things I want to do and I never seem to get to them.

Freeman and I worked on my web page on Saturday - that was fun

Then we burned a bunch of CD's so we both have new music to listen to this week. Yeah! The rest of the weekend was a blur of catnaps, TV, movies and shopping. Mom bought yarn for another afghan and I decided it will part of her birthday present. Then we ran around looking at all the crafty stuff we want but don't need. Mom and I have such fun shopping together

In other news - my friend Carrie passed the Bar! Yeah Carrie! I am so happy for her. I know she worked really hard to get where she is, I just think it is fabulous that she did it.

And it is Enchi's birthday! I wish was there to celebrate with her

I got taken out to lunch today - Yeah!! Free meals rock! Especially when they are to places like the Brooklyn.
Then I realized that next Monday is a bank Holiday! Whoo hoo! I am really looking forward to a 3 day weekend!

my first real blog

So - I am feeling that because this is my first real blog, that I should say something important. But nothing comes to mind.
And, as nothing is in my head to write about, I start browsing the net to steal ideas from others. Still not finding anything I come to blogger.com and sit staring at the screen. Agony. What do I say?

I go to the home page and look at the articles there. I noticed that there is a section that lists all the blogs that have been recently updated and randomly click on a few to see what other people are really writing about. Huh. A lot of them are really uninteresting. Really. I mean it. There is one that is nothing but football scores for a HS team somewhere. I honestly didn't stay long enough to find out where. I knew there had to be something better to look at. And I was right!

I clicked on a different site, I have no idea which one now. Which is really unfortunate because I should have writen it down or something... Regardless, I click on this site (which was in French) and there is this wonderful little gif thing happening. It looks fun so I watch it. Then I realize that it is a guy, stripping, and look he has a camera, and wow, he is contorting himself in all these weird positions to take pictues. And the whole time he still has his sunglasses on.

It was great. I really should have paid attention to where I was...

I found it! http://perso.wanadoo.fr/stomping/
