Work & Stuff
So I managed to get some writing done last night. A paltry 700+ words…eh… not off to a very good start. I’m pondering trashing all 700 words and starting over. I thought NaNoWriMo would help create some good writing habits. As in, propel me to get off the couch and start doing something more productive. Perhaps I need the heckling I asked not to receive.
Today, I’ve got a massive headache. I’d take off and go home but LG had some kind of appointment and she’s gone for the rest of the day. I’m on my own here…with nothing to do. That’s right, earlier this week I was completely overwhelmed with projects, now, I’m bored. I finished everything and I’m done.
This place where I work amuses me sometimes. The lack of diversity startled me at first, now, it’s just sad. As most of you are aware, I have very little interaction with the “others” (not to be confused with the Others from Lost). I’ll get an email from someone saying they’re out of the office tomorrow and I have no idea who this person is. Then they hire a mess of new people, I have to stop and ask someone “who’s that blond girl?” and what’s sad…they don’t know who she is either.
But recently I got an email from some guy saying he’d be out of the office. I pause at the office next door and say, “Who is Burt?” She pauses looks confused and then she WHISPERS, “Oh…he’s the gay guy.” So we have our token homosexual now working here. It’s not hard to tell which guy he is…he’s the only single guy in the office. Yeah, all the rest are married, or engaged. And I think all the married guys have kids too. This place is so grossly heterosexual and white it’s scary. Not that being heterosexual and white is a bad thing…it’s just, show some diversity people! Hire outside the box.
Yo Master D found his keys. They were missing for two weeks. They were on the hutch in the dining room under his baseball cap from the Kennedy Space Center. Who loses their keys for two weeks? I’ll tell you who, the same person who’ll pack someone else’s keys into a box when moving.
We didn’t get very many trick-or-treaters this year. We’ve got a lot of leftover candy. I let YMD pick the candy, so it’s a bag of Tootsie Rolls and suckers and other stuff that I wont be tempted to eat. He’s a lovely man. Unfortunately for him, he loves Tootise Rolls.
Is it just me, or is the show Heroes actually pretty good? Yeah sure the tagline of “Save the Cheerleader Save the World” is pretty lame and cheesy and the fact that the two female heroes are a cheerleader (who until this week you hadn’t seen in clothing other than her uniform) and a stripper. Why is that? Why couldn’t one of the women on the show be…Oh I dunno…the flying person who’s running for senate? I understand that in comic books the chicks are all pretty sultry and busty, but a senator can be hot…she doesn’t have to be old and frumpy. I like it better than I thought I would.
And if you’re still not watching Battlestar Galactica on Sci-Fi…you’re TOTALLY missing out.
Well, I think I’ve only managed to kill like 15 minutes. Time is seriously crawling today. I should go pretend to do some work.
