Some random girl invited me to do some quests with her in WoW. Whatev.. makes things go by faster. The degree to which she butchered the english language… nay, the written word… was astonishing. This was an example of the chatter I would receive from her:
“can u come back too the villag but us the blue thing don’t watch”
O_o WTF? seriously! what does that even mean?! She even misspelled “any”. She spelled it “aney”. Crazy. You should have seen how she spelled “medallion”. At that point I think I actually saw the words on the screen tremble, trying their hardest not to cry.
ATTN: whateveryournamewas – Mashing the keyboard with your hooves will not create intelligible phrases. Please abandon your computer and play with spelling blocks for a while.
*EDIT* after some thought over what the hell she was talking about, I think I figured it out. She was trying to say “Can you come back to the village, but use the blue thing (referring to the hearthstone), don’t walk”. That’s the only thing she could have possibly been trying to say.
damn. that be some snow. up to the knees on most of the people I see “walking” about. I did end up going karting yesterday, and I managed to survive the drive there and back. It really wasn’t that bad. I don’t mind driving in “severe” weather… It’s everyone else I worry about. Racing is the closest thing I have to a hobby, and I haven’t done it in a while. Felt good to race again. lap times got consistantly better as I got used to the course. looking forward to going back there again sometime soon.
In other news, my flight to chicago got cancelled. So I have to leave tomorrow around 5:30-ish. Looking forward to seeing some of the chicago area nabisco peeps. None of whom read this, methinks… but still.
also, mint tea is the shit.
I’m going karting later. haven’t raced in so damn long. It’s about time I practiced a hobby of mine.
in other news, we’re supposed to get an infinite amount of snow tonight. that’s right, it will not stop snowing here again. ever. this is it. at least, that’s what every weather report is making it out to be. 20-30 inches with wind/blizzard conditions isn’t THAT much. they’re even talking about shutting down the highways. wusses.
So yeah, I’m going karting tonight.
So, I have my own office now. Sort of.
I work with Bob. Bob is my boss. She is also my only coworker. We used to have 3 rooms to our part of this facility. An office, a lobby, and a small lab. All the rooms are roughly the same size. We had one microscope. We’re getting another one in a week or so. So I’ve moved all my foo into the lab, and she’ll be getting a microscope in her room (what used to be the office). So.. I have my own room, my own microscope, and a whole lot more privacy than I used to.
IN FACT,… I’m not wearing any pants right now. just for the purpose of being able to post on the internet, saying I have no pants on. Can you do that at your job? I think not.
in other news… I’m going to Chicago next week for training. which means vacation. Company pays for car, food, hotel, and flight. And I just have to sit around for a couple hours at work, watching powerpoint presentations. The NASIOC people in the area are already brewing some “extracurricular activities” for me. last time I went out there was a lot of fun. looking forward to it. so… by the weekend after this one, that’ll be 3 weekends in a row that I’ll be sitting in an airplane for some reason or another. perhaps I should get a frequent flyer card =/.
now… if I could just find my pants….
It seems fate has caught up with me. My stars were not aligned right. or some shit. It seems that I DID become ill this past weekend. Not enough to keep me out of work per se, but enough to keep me from enjoying my little undue vacation as much as I would have liked to. That being said, I had a wonderful time down there. certainly the most impulsive thing I’ve done in a while =P.
anyways, back to work. “Werk werk”. I still have a slight fever and this place makes my eyes burn a bit. but whatever. might be geting a new job really soon. more on that later. I have some catching up to do.
If you had asked me in the early afternoon on saturday what my weekend looked like, I would have said something like “playing warcraft and chatting around.”
It seems, however, that I’m much more “In Florida” thanI thought I would be. I have to say that Delta Song is one of the best airlines out there. I booked the tickets saturday at around 6 for a 3:00p flight on sunday. round trip tickets were 160 bucks O__O. WTF?
I’m taking monday and tuesday off because “I’m Ill”… =P. the rest of yousuckers get to work. Har.
it was 62 degrees this morning when I left my apartment. It’s going to be around 20 when I get back home.
Doesn’t seem right somehow.
*EDIT* – I’d like to add that I should be ice racing by now. All this crappy warm weather is not helping the cause :furious:.
Since this is still going around, I thought I’d post my score.
Yes, I answered all the questions honestly.

Hey all. pics as promised. There’s a fuckton.5 pics behind the cut, they’re all fairly small but 56k beware anyways.
First are pics from the New Year’s party at Dk0n’s place. The rest are from the vacation in general. Thanks to Reesey for resizing and hosting them. My company doesn’t give Mondays off on typical 3-day weekends, but they give a week and change around Christmas off. Fine by me.
