did you just say "no" to ME?

I stopped off at one of my roommate's workplaces last weekend and was introduced to the new coffee-love of my life.  The starbucks on-demand coffee machine.

it grinds, it brews, it does everything in like 20 seconds.  it's amazing.

so i showed this picture to my CEO and said "I want it." and he said "How much?"  so I checked into it.

First I called starbucks.  They didn't actually sell them, outside distributors did, they just advertise them.   So I found the distributor that my roommate's workplace uses and called them.  Turns out you lease them as part of a coffee service, which is cool, but they wouldn't tell me how much or even think of leasing me one because my company is less than 100 people.

What the heck does that matter?  I still have to pay the price, don't I?

Screw you, distributor!  SCREW YOU.

How dare you stand in the way of me and my fresh brewed coffee.

h8.

pizza binge

Today I grabbed a can of Campbell's tomato soup (with little fish shaped noodles!) for lunch.  When I got to work there was a pizza party going on.  I guess it's the new secretary's birthday and the company decided to buy lunch, balloons and a cake.

Now, I could totally mention how my birthday a few weeks ago was totally overlooked and didn't even get the standard company card, but I won't.... even though I've been here for years and she's only been here a few weeks.   I could totally mention that, but I won't. 

So I totally binged on 4 huge slices of greasy pizza.  There went the weight I lost this week :P  Someday I'll learn some control,... someday.

just cuz i love this bum

crack open another

I have now finished off an entire box of tissues and just cracked open another.  it just won't stop!!   and these aren't little dainty blows... these are fill-the-tissue-oops-maybe-i-shoulda-used-3-at-once blows.

i'm so gross.  heh.

sick sick sick again

I woke up in the middle of the night with a sneezing fit. 

I've got a cold... AGAIN.

I blame it on the VP who said he was sick all last week after I said I had a cold.

DAMN YOU, STEVEN!

hate

Did you know that you can upgrade to vista if your using xp pro? Yeah I didn't know that either. You can only upgrade if your using xp home, media center or tablet edition.

I just wiped my computer last week and reinstalled everything. And today I'm being told everyone has to upgrade to vista in the office. Now I have to redo all that mess again.

I hate you microsoft, I really do.

Edit: Their website says yes, the dvd box set says no.

it made me laugh

Carolyn felt like she never quite fit in amongst the goth crowd.

nerdy goodness

Smitty came in asking what came after a terabyte. I was ready to say 2 terabytes, but kept it to myself. We just bought a new storage server and were taking guesses how much it could hold.

I didn't know the answer to his question. Crunchy knew the next two steps up, but we no idea what came after an exabyte. Here's just an interesting factoid for you nerdy size queens.

• 1000 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte


• 1000 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte


• 1000 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte


• 1000 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte


• 1000 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte


• 1000 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte


• 1000 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte


• 1000 Zettabyte = 1 Zottabyte


• 1000 Zottabyte = 1 Brontobyte (that's 1 followed by 27 zeroes)

sometimes you need a little more caffeine

It's been another one of THOSE days.

spongey goodness

So I stayed till way after midnight last night working on an issue on Crunchy's project. Nothing like another 13 hour day.

This morning he walks into the office and says, "Your probably grumpy and tired, right?"
I just grumbled back at him as I was too tired to form actual words.

So he surprised me with spongebob playing cards! WHEE!
The only bad thing is you have to decapitate him anytime you want to play cards, hehe.

A good one

STILL at work. Took a break to go through my email and saw this joke from a friend, couldn't help but post it. enjoy!

George W Bush has a heart attack and dies. He immediately goes to hell, where the devil is waiting for him.

'I don't know what to do here' says the Devil. 'You are on my list, but I have no room for you. You definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I've got a couple of folks here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let YOU decide who leaves.'

George W thought that sounded pretty good, so the Devil opened the door to the first room. In it were Ted Kennedy and a large pool of water. He kept diving in, and surfacing, empty handed. Over, and over, and over he dived in and surfaced with nothing. Such was his fate in hell.

'No' George W said. 'I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer, and I don't think I could do that forever.' The devil led him to the door of the next room. In it was Al Gore with a sledgehammer and a room full of rocks All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time.

'No, I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day,' commented George W. The devil opened a third door. Through it, George W saw Bill Clinton, lying on the floor with his arms tied over his head, and his legs restrained in a spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best.

George W looked at this in shocked disbelief, and finally said 'Yeah, I can handle this.' The devil smiled and said . .

'OK, Monica, you're free to go.'

i'm sooo hot

Normally when people pay me a compliment, I just agree with them. You know, in that fun joking way.

Someone: "Daniel, you look so sexy today!"
Me: "OMG, I know!"

You know, like that.

I went to lunch today with Malcolm to meet up with his Mom. I had excused myself from the table when a certain conversation took place. On the way home, Malcolm was telling me when I left his mom went on about how gorgeous my eyes were and how I have a nice face, stuff like that.

Malcolm: "You cannot tell him that when he get's back, He already thinks he's too pretty."

OMG, I AM pretty, lol.

I just think it's funny.
