TweedleDee and TweedleDum

So Horrible Helen and Tyler are super fun in meetings. We had one this morning explaining a new database. They pretty much ran the meeting by creatively rephrasing everything we were told. I think they believe it makes them look smarter.

Supervisor: "So make sure to write the ID number on the top left hand corner of the sheet and then maybe your initials."

Tyler interrupts" "So we will just grab one off the stack, jot the ID and then our initials next to it?"

Supervisor: "Um yes!" (Nervous laughter)

Two minutes later...

Supervisor: Make sure to pay attention so the letters you are choosing, are the right ones."

Horrible Helen covers her face and mines hitting lots of keys without looking. She repeats to make sure the supervisor sees.




I'm the one in the headband.

Detroit What

We had a really good time this weekend at a dinner dance for Brian's MBA program. I might have had more fun than him. It was nice to dress up again. I hadn't attended a dance since the Presidents Ball with all the girls on my floor freshman year at GV. And before that it was the City dances. I did miss my own personal make-up artist (Emily), and getting ready with my friends. Brian only takes about 20 minutes to get completely ready and that includes a shower. He told me I should take something like 30 at the most.

Right.

Anna is coming to visit this weekend and will be our first official guest to stay over. I'm sure we will have a great time, probably induced by green beer.

After that is Easter weekend, and various activities including an Eric visit and a play and of course Easter.

And after that we are making a quick visit to Michigan. Thankfully Brian will be making the long drive with me. It is soooo much better to drive 11 hours with someone other than yourself.

Smoochies

Horrible Helen tried to kiss me on the cheeck.

I was sitting at my computer. She put her hands on my shoulders and leaned down for the kill. I strained with all my might, so that my face would not connect with hers. Ugh. She got the message I think (I try to make my body language obvious).

"I can't give you a smooch?"

"No."

There is no one I want a kiss from less.

"I'm just talking to myself" "Did you hear anything good?"

My new fav odd couple:



My life has become consumed by tabloid culture. I have to fill my time at work somehow. And the only thing here to amuse me is a computer. I can only read real articles for so long, and spider solitaire ends up putting me in a haze after a couple hours, and that leaves...Perez Hilton (among others).

Don't hate me, I hate myself enough for this.

I also watch too much TV. I read a ton at work (on the computer) so reading a book doesn't appeal to me as much as it should. I think I need to go for walks or somethings.

We are going on a GR weekend trip, the last weekend in March. Should be exciting. I haven't made the drive since September, should be fun (not). At least I will have someone to talk to this time around. Not to mention cruise control, it will be sooo much better with cruise control.
