Because sometimes thinking hurts…
This website has gone through many revisions since college but always maintained a spirit of fun. This is where I get to speak my mind, as a child would, spilling my thoughts without filtering them. I'm not likely to say anything profound or moving, but hopefully someone gets some entertainment value out of my ramblings.
I got a FedEx overnight addressed to me at work today. Sometimes our factories will address packages to me for rush orders, but this was a thin cardboard package, generally designed for carrying documents. I opened it up and I found this.
I went to the local fish store by my work after I got out of the office. I think they deal mostly with equipment rather than fish. They had huge aquariums for sale the size of carnival dunk tanks. I also saw this tank in their store.
It’s been almost a year now since I started into my aquarium hobby. Normally I’d be bored with new things I learn, but there are so many different things to learn with aquariums. I started with the fish. Then I learned about the other critters in the tank, like shrimp, crayfish, clams, and snails. I am currently learning about planted aquariums, learning about the different types of plants and how to aquascape them.
Friday night was spent working for me. I had a lot of things to look over. That was definitely a bummer, because the original plan for Friday was to finally see The Simpsons Movie. I still have yet to see that movie.
Saturday was a productive day, starting with breakfast in the morning. I never get up for breakfast. Then I headed over to the gym to get my Nintendo DS session for the week, also known as stationary cycling. I headed home afterwards to take care of the fish tanks, which are doing fantastic. Check out the big tank here. Dinner was an always delicious trip to C & O, followed by Wii session with drinks by the pool at Spencer’s place.
Today I came in half an hour late. Normally I’m only about twenty minutes late. I’ve probably been on time to work three times in my two years here and early twice. No one says anything, because I am the SOB (son of the boss). I say my cheerful greetings to everyone in the office and mutter something about hating traffic and they’re none the wiser. No one lives as far west as I do, so they can’t refute my traffic excuse. It’s a full proof alibi. What they don’t know is the traffic is normally only bad between my blankets. It’s always congested and slow moving there.
I was talking with my dad on the way home from work yesterday. Apparently we are being invited to Connecticut in a couple months to view one of our factories and get some training. My dad pushed it back to October so we can at least see the leaves change color. He also said we could check out the Basketball Hall of Fam, which is nearby. The perks of being an owner, or in my case a future owner, are pretty sweet.
Why do people wear ties in the white collar world? It makes no sense and really isn’t a great fashion statement. It’s like tail for your neck. Who would have thought that the Japanese would be the ones to make a tie that has useful purpose. I just don’t know who would want the butt cooler. Isn’t that just going to release odors from the chair? Still, I’d be willing to try it while in the nude.
After keeping cool all day at the office, you may want to melt off some pounds in a sauna. Who can afford one? Everyone! That is a great idea. It’s an over sized garment bag with a hot pot filled with water in it. I wouldn’t be allowed to have one of these, because I am not mature enough to not lock people in this.
Yes, I’ve used that same joke before when looking into buying footwear. I’m once again looking to get myself a new pair of sneakers, not those things Mexicans wear on their feet. Anyway, I was hoping to get a pair of sneakers with velcro straps, but I can’t find any in the style I want. They’re all old folks shoes. I did run across this pair, which I’ve seen before, but I was hoping to find a pair more like this with a pair of velcro straps. Let me know if you come across a pair.
Edit: Crap. I’m definitely going to need new shoes. I was in a rush to work this morning and I forgot to put on sock. These shoes are going to smell like cheese.
This weekend was Angie’s birthday, and she planned a trip up to Big Bear. I am not a camping person mostly because of my disdain for toilets that don’t flush. Being dirty and not changing my clothes for a weekend is okay with me though. I started the trip up with Alex, Stacy, and Tony. That’s almost all the white people I know outside of work. It was good times, but I was definitely glad to get back to a shower.
Check out this Intel ad that I stumbled upon in a couple of articles. Those employees look like they’re ready to pull plows. Shame on you for being racist, Intel. This makes me almost want to move to AMD, but I heard they’re antisemitic.
I went to lunch today and stumbled across this lying near our building. I don’t know who this belongs to, and I don’t believe anyone in our office wrote this, but it made me laugh. This is totally something I would do to my friends.
