We get to go to lunch to Pacific today, a kinda posh Japanese/chinese/something-iese restaurant, on the bosses tab. We have a co-worker who is leaving for Nebraska of all places. I get to do all her installer test cases now.
Ack.
Ah well. At least the IM's are still coming. This was kinda amusing, 'cause I didn't have to think (pretend?) too hard.

Ok, someone give me ideas for what to do next time I'm in the mood to answer these. I get probably half a dozen a day and ignore most of them...but occasionally I feel this urge....
No really. While I might hate the job, and am beginning to hate the industry, where else could I get stupid IM's?

Damn...and there was such potential for where that was going too...
We had one helluva storm go through our neighborhood last night. Driving down our road, the neighbors were all out sweeping leaves and branches off cars, cutting fallen over trees, generally cleaning up. It literally looked like a tornado went through the place.
We had a neighbor who had a tree not only go down and clip the corner of his house, but took out his car as well. Another neighbor had a tree go into a bedroom of his house.
Here's what's annoying: We have an old, dead oak in our front yard. It needs to come down. Do you think it fell over? Noooo...damn thing is solid. Didn't even lose any branches. Just some leaves blew off and that was it, so it's still going to cost me $400 to have someone take it down. Why couldn't have Mother Nature taken care of it for me??
In other news, I'm on VACATION starting tomorrow!!! Yeah baby! Going to the Big Apple to visit my brother for a nice long weekend, then I'll be kicking back around the house for a few days when I get back. Woohoo! First real vacation I've had in almost 2 years. The last two "vacations" were spent sitting by my dad's hospital bed. So those don't count.
SweetttShorti85 (2:11:58 PM): u said u were 33??? Shad (2:12:24 PM): yes SweetttShorti85 (2:12:38 PM): wow SweetttShorti85 (2:14:51 PM): r u bow wow? Shad (2:17:26 PM): is bow wow 33??

SweetttShorti85 (2:18:04 PM): i jus asked u a question Shad (2:18:13 PM): Geez, hate to see what you do when I get really sarcastic... Shad (2:18:18 PM): probably kill yourself or something SweetttShorti85 (2:18:48 PM): wow, u act really mature 4 a 33 year old Shad (2:19:19 PM): I do, don't I? Sure breaks up the monotony of the day... Shad (2:20:24 PM): It was more of a surprise gesture than attitude...I thought most people who knew of bow wow would also know he's rather young... SweetttShorti85 (2:20:48 PM): well bow wow's real name iz shad datz y i asked u Shad (2:21:44 PM): I know that...it's why I'm constantly asked if I'm bow wow...as you asked me first how old I was, I was kinda surprised, after telling you that I'm an old fart at 33, that you asked if I was bow wow... SweetttShorti85 (2:22:48 PM): wuteva SweetttShorti85 (2:22:52 PM): bye Shad (2:23:24 PM): Bye!
I've always been oblivious to women's attentions. I never know if they're being friendly, or if the friendly is bordering on flirtatious or what.
Here's an example: When I was a senior back in high school (sounds like the beginning of a bad country song...), I was house-sitting for a friend. One night, my best friend and his girlfriend came over to watch some movies and drink some beer. The girlfriends stepsister came along as well, gorgeous gal, tall n' sexy...
So anyways, we're sitting around, drinking, getting drunk, watching movies. Things high school kids did in my day. After awhile, my friend and his girlfriend start making out on the couch, and the stepsister and I just kept on watching movies. And that was about it.
Now, about 2 days later, the stepsister came over to see me. We sat out on the front porch, just chatting. After awhile she said, "So, I have a question; How come you didn't try to kiss me the other night?"
Feeling a bit awkward, I said "Well, you were drunk, and I'm not the kind of guy that takes advantage of a situation like that..."
She looked me dead in the eye and said, "Well, I'm not drunk now..."
And me, being the idiot that I am, replied, "Well, I know that..."
...and that was it. I didn't do anything. Not a move, not a kiss, not even a suggestive "Oh, and does that mean I can take that kiss without guilt feelings on my part?" (not that anyone would ever say that. I hope.)
That's OK, you can laugh, I can see you trying not to smile.
So anyways, this morning I ran into a woman I hadn't seen in awhile. I gave her a hug when I saw her, and when we broke apart, she said "wow, nice hug!" while squeezing my bicep. Now, is that flirting? Or just a friendly hello?
I know I'm married and all, but it'd be cool if I could think of this as casual flirting, 'cause this woman was waaaay cute, and I need every little bit of self-esteem possible.
