Smart One

yesterday, at work, i was convinced that i should buy chips and cheese sauce from california tortilla rather than eat the tasty frozen meal i'd brought with me. instead of eating it, i tossed it in the freezer with 20 other frozen meals. i forgot about it when i left for the day. you might ask yourself, "why doesn't she eat it today?". unfortunately, i work in that office only 1 day a week. and will probably never see that frozen meal again. it's all very disappointing. and a horrible story. i'm sorry.

Mixes

on sunday, driving back from west virginia, i found an old mix cd from the college days. these are little treasures for me, especially when i just happen upon them. however, this time it's not the songs themselves that prompted me write this entry. no, no ... it's the title. it would seem that the persons assisting me with making the cds didn't have much respect for my song selections. you see, when i was just a poor college student, i worked in an office with a bunch of geeks. that's right ... the information systems unit. sounds like we should have had a badge or something, doesn't it? well, we didn't. our badges were our warcraft/diablo screennames. are you picturing this, yet? good. so, since i was poor, i didn't have my own burner and would use the office equipment. unfortunately, i never had the pleasure of using the computer with the burner, so i'd ask whichever knight, warlock, or druid was using it at the time for assistance. i'd leave for class and when i returned, inevitably they would have relieved me of the task of naming the cd. and THAT is how i came to own the following mix cds:

em's junk cd
em's crappy cd 1
em's crappy cd 2
cuccumber

not only witty, but descriptive. thanks, fellas.

i nearly had a breakdown

her: did it bite you

me: no

her: wow. that must have been terrifying

me: it pretty much was

her: i can imagine... the fear of almost being bitten by a mosquito

me: it's close to the fear of being mauled by a bear

her: im going to disregard your bear mauling comment.
