super soul psychic circuit sister moment
Oh. Mah. Gawd. I was, like, going into the elevator with Tony. We both work on the 3rd floor. He presses 3. For some reason I press 4 because I'm blonde, or is it something else? This cool bike messenger chick walks on. Tony (who digs chicks) says politely to her "What floor?" Cool messenger chick says, "4th." Jimbo's eyes widen in awe of himself (for the 14th time that day). OH MAH GAWD!!! I'm LIKE TOTALLY PSYCHIC!!!
Anyway, it's really cool to be working again, and to have cool coworkers. I'm getting along here quite well, with the exception of having to assert myself about my desk. It's apparently been used for storage for quite some time, and instead of waiting for it to magically clean itself free of new computers and parts, I cleaned them off myself. All better now. Found the bike rack, and rode to lunch today, which was very pleasant. I'm trying to make an effort not to blog and impulsively check AOL mail all day, I really am.
In the tech world, sometimes I feel like Kevin Costner as "The Mariner" in the movie Waterworld. Out in the open ocean, with only the resources I have on my ship available to use at my disposal. Then some super-tech geek comes along and blows me out of the water, coming in on his/her unsinkable Exxon Valdez, replete with armed jet skis and oil cannons. Plus, I'm cute like Costner used to be too. But my fingers aren't webbed, nor are my toes.
Mmm...cowboys. Of course, I'd never insinuate that ANY of them are gay, or my boyfriends for that matter. I'm just pointing out that they are hot.

You might want to keep mum re: the Costner/Waterworld analogy if you happen to be standing near anyone from your company's Book-keeping department.

Hey now, I _liked_ waterworld! I'm a big fan of post-apocalypse movies. I liked that flick where Travolta was an alien too...I forget the title.

Not Battlefield Earth, I hope...

K.C. inhales movie studio money, as of late - I heard there was so much bad blood re: the Waterworld fiasco, that he was semi-unoffically blacklisted for a while.

Yeah, Battlefield Earth. I liked that film.

Please don't tell me you liked "The Mailman" as well. Another Costner post-ap 3 hour tour of boredom.
Mmmm....nice links. How can a 21 year old grow such a thick, sexy moustache? Ride 'em cowboy!!
