Edit: I have the fan going full blast too. Conserving power, you see. It gets mighty hot in here with the computer on.

On the corner of the bed, by the desk. No room for a chair. Second story, 2 windows and a fan on HI, still way too hot and humid. One cat, 2 gerbils, and Loreena McKennitt. Crappy Walmart internet service software throws me off every few minutes, whether I click the stupid dialog box telling me I'm idle or not. "I am NOT idle, and yes I want to stay online." Stupid Walmart.

In the corner of the room, next to that guy that lives with me. (Ah, quality time?) He's playing Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero. I'm also making speghetti.

Our new computer spot is downstairs in our unfinished basement. It now serves as study room/laundry room/Annie's art studio.

It's nice and cool down here, but every once in awhile a beetle runs under my sock-clad foot. I don't understand it... all this floor space and they run right under my foot, as if they knew in their chitonous little brains that that is the one thing in the world with the power to completely freak me out. Shiny black little bastards.

Happy (belated) birthday Kat! Did you have a birthday thread that I missed, or did you just not announce it?

---

Thanks!!

Well, it was in June. I don't think I announced it, mostly because I'm secretly hoping for a surprise birthday party one of these days. I'm starting to think I'm going about it the wrong way, though. The way to get a surprise party/thread is to constantly throw them, and then point out that you are NOT throwing a party this year "because I'm not sure I can."

The bunting is from this June, but the other deflated balloon hanging from my cubicle walls is from June 2002. At this point, I leave it up because it annoys the lady in my office who wears three-inch heels every day.

Really? See, and I miss the days when I had your job (sort of).

Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :
 
Thank you. I’m kind of lonely today. I’ve been doing office work and there’s no one else in the building. I think it would be so cool if there were someone to talk to just over a little wall.

Fortunately there’s Hatrack – virtual officemates!

Oh well. Tomorrow I’ve got meetings starting at 7:15 and then I’m doing pastoral visits. By mid-afternoon I’ll be happy to crawl back into my lonely office and hide.

I do like the people I work with - we are not terribly close, but I like everyone reasonably well. I really like the lady on the other side of the wall, but the lady who wears the three-inch heels every day once sat me down to discuss my shoes, and when I told her the doctor's-head-caught-in-elevator story, she laughed for ten minutes.

I'm scared of her now.

Home office. Cup of coffee in a mug my mommy bought me in hand, and a kitty snuggled on my lap.

Why, if this home business thing was making me any green whatsoever right now it would be a pretty sweet gig.

Kat - Get your office to relocate to Portland and then get me a job.

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
 
Oh, Portland. MUCH too liberal for the Boy Scouts. You'd expect them to recycle.

And Jebus help you if you don't "raise awareness" for, well, anything.

We are all encouraged to contribute to the United Way. Does that count?

As long as you're "raising awareness."

I do my part by posting on Hatrack. See, by making posts and threads that potentially reach an audience of thousands no matter what I write I'm "raising awarness."

Man, I'm seriously craving Cheetos Puffs.

<--- just raised awareness for lack of Cheetos Puffs.

I'm not sure if it's awareness that you're raising.

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
 
You are now aware that I'm craving Cheetos Puffs and do not have any.

That's raising awareness, dammit.

Posted by Marek (Member # 5404) on :
 
There should be a save the Cheetos Puffs foundation, or a give the Cheetos Puffsto people who crave Cheetos Puffs foundation.

Wow, I'm so much more aware of the lack of Cheetos Puffs now.

Posted by Marek (Member # 5404) on :
 
Genies aren't evil, even if the wishes they grant are.

Time to do my part, I have no idea what a Mexican Mocha is.

see I'm raising awareness about the state of edjucation in America.
 

---

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
 
Marek - Jamie is referring to the Evil Genie thread.

And a Mexican Mocha is a mocha (espresso and steamed chocolate milk) with cinnamon and some other super secret Mexican tradition spices. Or summin. And they're really, really yummy.

Sweet Jebus, man, educate yourself!

This is a fallacy. If you have seasons upon seasons of Simpsons episodes to catch up on, especially seasons one through eight, then you best be trying to hunt them down.

Do you have a connection faster than basic dial-up? If you're staying in a dorm on campus do you have a T-1? If yes, then download them. Trade them with friends. Make signs that offer favors in trade for tapes. Do what you have to do, woman, just get your hands on those episodes.

A life without Simpsons... well, that's just no life at all.

Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
 
I did see the episode where two aliens show up at the front door and Homer goes "AAAHH! Mormons!" That was pretty classic.

Also, I saw the U2 episode because, hey, who hasn't? I think it's really funny when Larry calls Bono a wanker.

And I saw the one where someone says that "proactive" is the type of word that stupid people use to make themselves sound smart.

I guess it's kind of the same as the three episodes of Seinfeld I've seen - just enough to help me fake my way through shallow conversations.
