Random Thoughts for your rainy Friday

[judecorp]

• Today at the post office, I saw a guy with so much back hair that it was practically leaping out of the back of his t-shirt. My gods, it was like kudzu! It was going to jump out at me. I am so glad I am not That Guy.


• I've had Coworker Tamarine's radio on since about 11am. I have heard "Hey Ya" no less than three times. And not between 12 and 1pm, because that's 'Flashback Lunch' time. Now I know why I don't listen to pop radio much.


• It's very difficult to do a school visit for your coworker at a school that is a five minute walk from your house. No, scratch that. It's very difficult to return to work after the visit instead of your house.


• It's pretty common knowledge that I will drink just about any diet soda. I don't even mind it, actually, because it's less sticky-sweet than regular soda. But Diet Faygo Cola is disgusting. You know, in case you were wondering.

So what did you learn today?

I learned (remembered?) that I'm seeing you in less than 24 hours! Sleepover!

SLEEPOVER!!

I learned that I, for one, welcome the new Corporate overlords.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I love your new icon.

Good luck walking on Sunday!!

Hey thanks! Someone had it on their door in Virginia City NV and it seemed perfect.

I learned that one of vogonpoet's coworkers really does know everybody. We were discussing the merits of shopping at CompUSA over lunch when another coworker wondered if Bubba (a nickname referring to the joke about Bubba knowing everybody) had any friends at the store's nearby corporate headquarters. He replied something in a mumble that turned out to be the CEO's name.

I also learned that you shouldn't feed your kid a late breakfast before going to lunch at an all-you-can-eat sushi place. (If I'd known beforehand, I would have fed her as soon as she woke up instead of after showering and lounging around.)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Aha! The second is a very important lesson. Does the short person like sushi?

[oddharmonic.livejournal.com]

Indeed she does. Her favorite of the past year and a half is California rolls, but she'll try just about anything. Today she ate a bunch of ginger, a little salmon and baked eel, and about half a bowl of miso.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Wow. That is so awesome!!

i learned that if you mix red & pink eyeshadow and put it on *just right*, you get a look that you can call, "chemo just ain't working for me"! or "i haven't slept it days!! mmm, crack!" it's neat!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

HA! You are crazy and I looooove you.

Things I've learned today:

1. Social Worker licensing is fucked up, on a national (or perhaps international) scale.

2. More than I ever cared to know about discriminant analysis and logistical regression.

3. Someone who has the authority to make systemwide programming Sinclair Broadcast Group is an asshat.

4. I should get my back waxed before hanging out at the beach with Jude. Or at least before she covers me with tar and pennies.

Probably some other stuff, too, but it's all less important.

*busts into giggles*

I don't remember you being particularly hairy, though.

[oxlahun.livejournal.com]

Well, not like kudzu, but I am no longer the smooth skinny kid you once knew but haven't seen in, like, forever and a half.

How long has it been? Woodystock II? Lag Day on the Cape?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Crap if I know. Didn't you and Jenn come to my apartment in Dorchester once?

[oxlahun.livejournal.com]

I only remember rachelmichellek's apartment in Dorchester, not yours. Doesn't mean we didn't, only that if we did, I've blocked it out confused myself again.

[siercia]

Dude, they were roomies in Dorchester =)

[oxlahun.livejournal.com]

Yes! And Jude had the front room, on the left as you went in the door. Big bay window. But she was never ever there when we went to visit Rainy.

Or, apparently, she was there once when we were. I have more memories of other roommate Jill than I do of Jude in Dorchester. And we definitely visited more than once.

My favorite, though, is when we went down to Quincy for Chinese food, then came back up Morrissey, and got to Columbus or Columbia or whatever it is that has the exit of 93, and as we were trying to get through the Morrissey/Columb-a-something/93 interchange, Rainy chirps "This intersection is ass." It was the first time I'd ever heard "ass" used as an adjective. And I've carried that memory with me ever since.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yep, I lived there too. :)

Harumph!

[oxlahun.livejournal.com]

Whaaaat? It's not my fault you were never around.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Dude, I was /there/ when you came to our apartment. I remember you standing there in our kitchen in your leather jacket.

[folkyboy.livejournal.com]

i think once an hour for any song is sufficient. any more and it's scary...

:) back hair is boyish ♥

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Back hair scares the crap out of me.

Things I Learned Today:

1. The Safety Dance is a perfect ringtone.
2. If you are forceful enough, you can make your mother obey you.
3. Dogs will indeed eat anything, including feminine hygiene products.

GROSS!!

I learned that if you tell the 3-year old you're babysitting that Barbie taught you a special way to brush hair so that it doesn't hurt, said 3-year old will trust you implicitly.

I wonder how far the Barbie line will take me in 'real life' . . .

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

So, Cath, Barbie told me you wanted to sleep with me...

[cathboblet.livejournal.com]

Barbie lies. I actually said I wanted a threesome with you and she . .

Rowr. I like 'em blonde.
