double fortune

so once again i got a double fortune out of a cookie. does this happen to anyone else? i mean they are always clear as mud or vague beyond a coherent thought but this is ridiculous. They were as follows:You are demonstrative with those you love. and Serious trouble will bypass you.. after comparing the numbers on the reverse side, my lucky one seems to be 26. this means nothing to me.

i'm still waiting for the cake i was promised over a year ago.

wouldn't it be cool if you could save these little fuckers up and cash them in like they were arcade tickets. i mean most chinese places have merchandise on display, how bout they slip a little tag in next to them telling people how many fortune stubs would be needed to obtain these "high quality" asian decorations.

and what terrible grammatical madlibs these would make if they were inserted in the blanks.

only me

ok so today was a typical day at work. check email, sit around, go for a drive, go to lunch, check email some more etc etc. you get the point. but then something unexpected happened.

we were all hanging out in the usual cubicles, having a good time, laughing it up, when it happened. I farted. I did not even know i was transporting this stowaway until it made it presence known. what did i do you ask. well i continued talking, like nothing happened. there was no change in the tone of my voice, my cheeks did not flush, there was no acknowledgement on my part at all. but i know it was noticed because the guy in the next cube over gave me a look. the kind of look like he could not believe i just let one rip in such close proximity to someone and did not excuse myself.

hey i'm sorry but i am not going to stop what i am doing and announce to everyone that i just cut one and that i was sorry. i mean if they did not notice it i sure as hell was not going to back up and bring them up to speed. besides it was all sound and no substance. i'm really not sure how i would have handled the situation if that was the case.

slow week for me

nothing terribly exciting happened to but here is a run down of things.

one of the full time employees at work when out of his way to show me a full time position that was posted online. i assume he believes i am qualified even though i only understand about half of what the descriptions wants, that and i do not have the military experience they want.

i got and xobx and it purrs like a champ. i bought SSX3 and Prince of Persia: the Warrior Within. those should keep be occupied til after xmas. if not i'll just have to track down some more used ones.

oh man did it snow. a good 5 to 7 inches at least. and for those of you who were wondering yes it was higher than that bottom of my car. that added to the fact that i had to drive through the deep snow, i essentially was plowing my own path. i got to work and had to clean off the company vans, oh what fun that was.

i have yet to start my xmas shopping. no ideas for anyone, but what else is new.

Back to work

well to start, it could only happen to me, that the boss of my boss walks by and says hi to me when i am reading an article online about a man fucking a horse.

come monday i should be the owner of an xbox. now what games to buy is the question.

i was given about an hour's worth of work today and then left to fend for myself. so from 11 to 330 i sat around in my cube with nothing to do and no one to direct me toward any type of real work. i occupied my time by looking up xbox games and playing sudoku. i skipped lunch so i could leave early. hopefully next week will be better.

Head Guy: "It's nice to have you back."
Me: "It's nice to be back."
Other Temp Guy: "You lie! You lie so bad!"
Me: *shush* "Ok, your right."

The Far Away Land of Seattle

Here is a list of the things i enjoyed about my trip: staying with friends for a week, sushi, moroccan food, tacos, elliot bay, wine, beer, berry pizza, italian food, meeting new fun people, hand turkeys, decapitated rat, original NES, sudoku, Family Guy, TMNT, the "Fuck You, Drink!" game, twister, oh and can't forget the resurgence of the warning clap.

This i did not like: Delta's incompetence, my hot dog in a flaky crust, having to heard more about knitting than i would have liked, 2 uninteresting in flight movies, the constant cold and the wet.

Leaving to come home i was patted down by security since the zippers in my pants set off the detector too many times. I also was baffled by a guy with no hands or feet use a cell phone. I mean how did he do it? I don't know! I got to Atlanta early but then had my connecting flight delayed over an hour. There was the tall brunnette that i wish i had exchanged more words with. The more i thought about it the more i realized that perhaps i was supposed to meet her. She was not even supposed to be in Atlanta, she was supposed to be in Cinncinatti. She also sat across the isle from me on the flight to HBG. She did manage to rush off the plane and disappear but due to my issued when arriving at my final destinations, i got lost trying to find the shuttle to my car. I crossed paths with her again. that was my last change and i blow it as usual. she goes to school in Texas, i use that as my excuse to justify it to myself but i know it is flimsy and flawed at best.

when i got home my mom hugged me, yes she waited til i came home to go to bed.. this has not happened since eve and phaedre prompted me to do so a few years ago. my mom explained how she has not been sleeping well because she has been thinking about what i was doing all week. she was glad i was home and told me i can never go again because it was too stressful for her. trust me, this will not be the last of my travels.
