Monday
I am not at work. What the hell is up with that? Well, they can't lay me off again.
Or can they?
The phone will ring, and they will be like, "dude, we just fired you again".
Now the apartment is filled with work stuff. Being that I worked there for almost three years (right?) I had a lot of crap on my desks. Tons of non-work related books, toy robots, gadgets, triangular highlighters, and photos. The population of robots in the apartment has doubled since being laid off.
We went out for drinks last Thursday and it went well. We even got a visit from Mali who had been laid off during the first round of layoffs the year before. Then we went down to Jeollado for dinner, and all was well (even openly discussed the great "anal chug" photographs we had of our former CEO/CTO?)
If you know John "conger!" Conger, he had big news the other night. He apparently knocked up his wife. Viva Conger! Ladies, don't get too close to him... he is potent. (middle, top row)
Here is a picture
A picture of a girl who I knew when I was very young (i.e. the 1970s). I had a camera then and took all sorts of goofy pics, including this one. The piece of paper says, naturally, "Start Wars" (it's a bit tough to make out in this scan).
I am now really wondering what the story was behind this picture... was this the opening crawl of our own homemade, 126mm version of Star Wars?
Snow
We had our first snow this weekend. Not much, a few inches, but it was a pretty snowfall and Saturday night was fun stomping around in the snow.
Hookers
Be sure to check this site out if you fear your man may be picking up hookers.
HB Robin
Happy birthday Robin. Not only was sunday robin's birthday, but she threw a dinner party at this nice Indian place, where I over consumed food and spirits until I was about to pop. Thx for dinner!
This guy Todd I kinda know
This guy, Todd, you see is best friends with my friend "Jeff". Todd has a funny little, smart ass website that you may of seen before called endtimeworks (which is often mistaken for some sort of apocalyptic/second coming website - but it's not).
I was entertained by the following story entitled: My new boss and I in a Budco Movie Theater in 1986 (right after the first story)
The zinger of the weekend
John says, "what do you call those big dogs that carry the booze around?"
I say, "that would be your mother"
J&R Monitor goofballs
Go to the new J&R Computer World store. It's a fine place and all. We went to buy a monitor Saturday and the monitor display wall is hilarious. They have all these monitors, and I don't know if it's a connection issue or a video card issue, but they all look horrible. Some display everything with a blue cast, others have really fuzzy text - it was amazing that they ever sell a single monitor there.
When we arrived, there was an older fellow who wanted a monitor. He asked the salesman, "now which one is the best monitor?"
Like the guy had to tell him, because there was no way in hell you could figure it out for yourself. He blindly bought a $1000 Sony flatscreen without ever seeing it working properly.
Rachel then found the computer that was running the whole display and typed: Why do these look so crappy?
None of the staff paid attention to us.
We did end up buying a NEC flatscreen, but that is another story that isn't very exciting (as if that one was).
See I am
Stop
And go
