Love it!

Bringing the LOLs

I really did laugh out loud, see if you can't.

Lucky or Unlucky?

I've got two pieces of news this week:

1) The County of Albany wants me
2) My mouth had turned against me

Lets cover number 1 first. As I have mentioned before in this blog, it has always been a dream (deluded?) to be a part of a jury. I was pretty sad to get my summons for Grand Rapids a couple months ago, which was well past my residency there. But the heavens were listening and I received my jury questionnaire for Albany County yesterday. I haven't even been a resident a year yet. What are the chances!

Next up 2. My whole life I have never once had a cavity. Sadly this fact ceased to be true yesterday when I was informed I had some small decay on a molar. I guess it's my own fault for not seeing a dentist since July 2007. The news made me feel very deflated. I always thought I was impervious in some way to tooth decay.

On a side note: I really enjoy hearing hygentists and doctors talk to each other as they refer to teeth by letters and numbers. They know I have no clue what teeth they are talking about and I like it that way too.

There are two right behind you

Right now the other two people at my work are sitting in dark playing some shooter computer game.

I really don't know why they need me here half the time.

Lately our apartment has been pretty hot. For those of you who don't know, heat is included in our rent so we have no control over the temperature in our apartment. If we leave the windows closed it can easily get up to 87 degrees. Obviously this is why we try to open windows as often as possible. It usually get to a comfortable 78 or so.

While we have gotten pretty used to this, it's kinda awkward when we go to a regular home. A normal household keeps their thermostat anywhere from 68-73 degrees. This can feel really cold to us and we have to wear extra clothing when we visit other people's houses.

Here we go again

I had a really nice holiday season. Going home to Michigan was really nice. My grandma was pleasant to stay with and loves Brian a whole lot. Being at my old house was just as it should be: relaxing and nice. I also got to see lots of family and friends which is always a blessing. It already seems like a long time ago.

For the new year we cooked some good food and stayed home. Just what we needed after lots of traveling.

We decided we might want to try flying more to Michigan.

I spent more minutes than I like describing, to people at get-togethers, what I do at my job. I feel like I need to make excuses for not doing something better, but the truth is, this job is a job until the next thing comes in my life and I should be grateful to have it. The economy sucks right now.

Things I can appreciate about my current employment:
-I get to go home early a lot without docked pay
-I can surf the Internet all day long
-I can watch movies and TV shows at work
-All the guys I work with are very nice and sometimes funny
-Often I get free pizza or a Quiznos sub
-I have learned a few new skills
-The boss says "thank you" when I do simple tasks
