“Please don’t tell me you are watching a special on Britney Spears…” Says my girly from the other room.
“No. I’m just watching MTV. I have no idea what’s on.” Says me, knowing she doesn’t believe me.
Of course.. it’s now the 5th straight Britney video in a row. I haven’t noticed if they are actually playing them in some sort of chronological order, but they just might be… I’m pretty distracted by other “stuff” ya know.
I’m not sure if tomorrow is the actual kick-off of her latest tour, but it’s her performance in Miami, which is going to be broadcast live on Showtime. I guess MTV is actually showing the top 10 Britney Videos. I think there have only really been like 12 total?!? I forget. I’m such a bad fan. I do however know the lyrics for every video they’ve shown so far… and that I proudly admit. I guess as a true fan I should check if there are new DVD’s out with her videos.
Speaking of which… does anyone know where to get the unedited version of the Toxic video? I haven’t seen it.
Usually lately I blame the station for sucking. Station playlists have gotten shorter and shorter with more repeats, which means you will hear that Top 40 song now maybe 3 or 4 times a day and rarely hear that older song you love. Okay fine, maybe that means pretty soon I will end up hearing Nirvana and Eminem on an oldies station…
Well, Sunday night the DJ just made it worse. I understand you have a short playlist to work with, but damn… You just can’t play The Darkness (glam rock) and follow it up with Jack Johnson. Seriously, that’s like playing Kiss and Dave Matthews.
It’s just, NOT RIGHT.
This morning, as I am walking out the door, I get a call from Brian asking if I want to get coffee. While talking on the phone I switch hands, grab the door, and close it… only to realize I left my house keys inside on my desk. Oops, at least I have my car keys and my shoes (more explanation on the shoes next week).
So while at work I randomly start wondering how long I’ve been with the company. I’m pretty bad at deleting email so I figure I probably have an email from my first day. Sure enough, the first email in my Inbox is there still and dated 3/17/04. Wow, it’s been exactly a year today! I yell over to my boss, “Hey I’ve been here for a whole year, and the company is still around and doing well! Knock on… oh shit I don’t have any wood to knock on!”
Coincidentally, the last time I locked myself out of my apartment was exactly a year ago on my first day working for Reasoning… In almost the same way.
At this point I really wish I were just exaggerating and being a whiney punk… but the situation really is exactly as I explain it. The AC is out AGAIN at work. Outside it’s been about 75-80 degrees. Inside, sitting in my cube, it ranges from 78-85 during the day. It’s really not THAT hot but, sitting there all day with barely any air ciculation, eventually your balls start to sweat, ALOT. It’s fine when you are outside and at least the air is moving, but in the office you eventually are surrounded by a bunch of grumpy and stinky coworkers. I’m sure I don’t exactly smell like roses after 8 hours of ball sweat.
Here’s the cute email we got from building management. I especially like the last line. Today I wore shorts and a tshirt. Tomorrow, its tank top and a speedo.
As some of you may or may not know, the chiller, which helps to cool the building, is down for repairs. With the recent turn in the weather, we will be doing all we can to keep the building as cool as possible. Since most of the heat in a building is created by lights, equipment, people and absorption through outside glass, here are some suggestions on how you can assist us (and yourselves) until the repair work is completed.
1. Close vertical blinds, especially those on the south half of the building.
2. Turn off as many lights as possible that do not restrict your ability to work.
3. Turn off any equipment that is not being used.
4. Wear light clothing.
1 step away from bringing a slip-and-slide to work.
because I haven’t posted anything in over a month and certain “fans” are complaining… here is something you should all know…
it’s 11:24pm and my cat is systematically brining me each one of his toys and dropping them at my desk. he drops one.. then leaves to get another.
