Oh My…
Oh My...Yeah. There is a woman who sits across from me... I have mentioned her before. The one with the red screen, the pictures of Tony Blair EVERYWHERE, and whose daughter shows cats... Did I mention that she has a really annoying voice? It is so annoying that it is hard to concentrate on anything while she is speaking. And she looks nice - so you don't expect the voice that comes out of her to come out of her...
Anyway - she was just on hold for 45 mins to her favorite radio station. Again. I'm guess that she does this on a regular basis. This time she was calling in about rejection. I guess there was this guy that she really liked and she finally got up the courage to talk to him about it and he told her that he ran with "A bad crowd" and she should find someone else. Right.
The point is, though, that I sit next to her. I sit next to her and can't stand the sound of her voice. I can only imagine how listeners feel when she gets on the air. It must be frightful. I feel sorry for them. I really do...

More Randomness…
More Randomness....Being coherent and putting together a cute little story or thought isn't going to work today...
I had some Mt. Dew this morning. I didn't finish it. I had some Coke with lunch- it was a fountain Coke and I finished the Coke before the ice melted so I thought I'd just pour the Mt. Dew in the same cup. I then got up and did some stuff, completely forgetting that I had pour Mt. Dew into the cup. It was a bit of a shock to drink the Mt. Dew when I was expecting Coke!
The new people sitting on the other side of my cube are having "Pirate" day tomorrow in honor of Seafair. They invited me to join them
Maybe I will since my boss is out of town and I don't have any meetings...I went to buy my grandmother some makeup not realizing that it's Clinque's Bonus Days right now - so not only did I get her what she needed, I got more makeup that I don't need and probably will never wear! Whoo hooo!!!!
I got a bike. I plan on riding it. I'm pretty excited about it. I also got a purple helmet. Which makes me happy!
I had something to say but it's gone away. The drugs plus caffeine and chocolate and being a little ditzy anyway has caused most of the thoughts in my head to flee. Drugs being Aleve. I am not a real druggie...

Cell Phones….
Cell Phones....Normally I am all for cell phones. Normally I think they are great. I can deal with people using them on the street and on buses and learning things about people that I should never know. However, there is one thing that REALLY bothers me. Why do people answer cell phones in the bathroom? Why? And why do people think that the bathroom is a good place to hold a private conversation? We all know what happens in bathrooms right? It's no secret. So why????
A few years back, I was working on Colorado in this smaller building. There weren't a lot of choices for restroom use. I walk in and there is a woman on the phone. She is in the middle of a heated conversation. Arguing, yelling and so on. I look at her and give her a look like, "What are you doing?" Then I pointed towards the stall and made my way over. Thinking that she would be well aware of what I was up to. Afterall this was a bathroom for goodness sakes! I flush the toilet and come out of the stall to see her staring at me with this completely shocked looked on her face. Then she says, "I didn't know you were going to do that!" Meaning, she didn't know I was going to flush the toilet. Are you kidding me??? What the??? And she was completely serious about it. Somehow I was supposed to feel bad that I had to pee while she was having an argument...
See my point here? Why oh why would you try to hold a personal phone converstaion in the bathroom? You know what goes on there. It really isn't a secret.
Please, hang up your phone and let me pee in peace!

Executives Crack me up…
Executives Crack me up...I just saw one in the elevator. To get on his floor, he has to use his card key to press the button and gain access. We use proximity badges in this building now. So, as I am getting on the elevator, here is this executive waving his butt over the sensor so he can press the button.
He didn't even bother to take his wallet out of his back pocket. Just waved his butt back and forth.
Really.
And this man makes LOTS of money and is in charge of a LARGE portion of the company.
It was so hard not to bust up laughing!!!!!
I had to read this twice.
I had to read this twice. Really? Can they be serious?ABQjournal: Obtaining Cheney Rally Ticket Requires Signing Bush Endorsement
"However, some who left the office off Osuna NE without tickets on Thursday said they're not affiliated with an operative group and should have a right to see their vice president without pledging their allegiance to Bush.
"I'm outraged at this. I'm being closed off by my own government. It's crazy," said East Mountains resident Pamela Random, who added that she is an unaffiliated voter.
John Wade of Albuquerque said he initially signed the endorsement but was having second thoughts before he even left the office. Wade, a Democrat, said he returned his tickets and demanded to get his endorsement form back.
"It's not right for me to have to sign an endorsement to hear (Cheney) speak," Wade said. "I'm still pissed. This just ain't right." (...later in the article...)
An endorsement form provided to the Journal by Random says: "I, (full name) ... do herby (sic) endorse George W. Bush for reelection of the United States." It later adds that, "In signing the above endorsement you are consenting to use and release of your name by Bush-Cheney as an endorser of President Bush."
Wow.
As you wake in the morning
What do you feel?
Does a rush of happiness
wash over you when,
Suddenly, you realize you are alive?
