Baby Finances

Okay -- so yesterday was weird -- but it was even weirder when you where at my gym AGAIN today. Wasn't yesterday enough of an embarassment for both of us? Do you like it so much that you wanted to repeat the whole thing all over again? Or are you just trying to annoy me? I beg of you please choose another time to go to the gym. Can the lack of stuff to do at work stop too... it's really starting to get boring If you ask me one more time to stop having so much fun I think I'm going to kick you. We girls like to have fun at work -- either work with us and relish it -- and have fun. But you're going to have to get over it -- we're not going to change -- because work should be fun. Just because you shedule things badly -- and don't have a lot of time doesn't mean that we're going to jump. Sorry -- sucks. Get over it.

So totally went to the gym after work like normal ... lalala just an easy day since I ran and lifted yesterday today was my light day.... Lalala playing at the gym --- then for a split second I thought I saw the new guy at work.. um weird... whatevers -- I'm way more interested in my work out and the news on Channel 8 to pay more attention. Definately was the new guy from work. I love when people see you at your worst moments -- sweaty -- gross -- in ugly gross gym clothes showing parts of your body not normally seen by your co-workers. AHHHH -- Definately didn't stay around and chat for long -- Peace I'm gross I'm going home and taking a nice hot shower. This is definately that motivation that I've been needing lately to go buy some decent looking work out clothes... maybe next time we're at the gym at the same time -- and he's done with his workout back in his button down shirt and jeans -- and me in my gym shorts and gross sweaty tee-shirt that I would...

So today was boring ... another crappy interview candidate .. and yes this was the same one as the Mini-V post a few days ago. I first asked him to describe his attention to detail skills. His response "oh... I have excellent attention to detail." Me: "interesting..." Him: Why's that. Me: Because I found a number of spelling and grammatically errors on your webpage. *Insert pregnant pause Him: That's embarrasing.... For you it was embarrasing... and one of my cube buddies found another spelling error in his portfollio he brought along... dun dun dun.... yeah definately out of the candidate pool. So at lunch my Cube Mate and I decided that going back to work was a bad idea ... and that neither of us felt like it. Since I had been lusting after an African Violet Pot and Home Depot was super close by ... we went there to buy one. Well... me having OCD -- not only did I buy my dying African Violet a Pot. .. I bought an Afrian Violet and pot to put on my d...

The fact that the days seem longer (note the seem in that sentace...) is amazing. If I get out of work at 6pm I feel like I can actually go to the gym and still get something done after work. For a couple weeks the gym feel by the wayside (very sadly) -- but now I'm back in the routine again. Hopefully with some semi-successful results. I'm kind of bored with life lately -- a new hobby is in order. Though what that hobby will be I have no clue. If you have any suggestions let me know. I need something entertaining. Now that it is almost summer -- and since I sold my Boston Bike in Boston ... I'm in need of some new wheels. I think I need to go bike shopping soon... ehhh Well work was same old same old today nothing interesting.

So at work we are looking to hire in someone to help with our website. That's awesome right? So our Marketing Manger gives us a couple of resumes and interview schedules -- okay -- great-- i don't know anything about websites -- but okay -- sweet. Interviewing people is always fun. My interview phillosophy? Give people enough rope and see if they hang themselves (which a lot of times, sadly, they do.) So clearly the first thing I do is go to their respective websites and see what skills they have to offer. The first person -- I start combing thruogh the site and see bad graphics along with --- what is that? SPELLING ERRORS! Not just one spelling error -- a total of NINE!!!! so far. That's ridiculous. So I am clearly concerned about this candidate's viability (aka why the fuck are we interviewing them... (this is the second interview round) ... did no one look at their webpages????? So I go up to the Marketing Manager and question her about this ... because clearly I...

Three-bean casorole is so tasty. It's next to amazing on the food chain. Tastyness that you have yet to experience if you're never tried it before. The only problem with three-bean -- is well... the beans. Beans can be a tasty item if prepared well (as in three-bean casorole.) However, the unfortunately bean side effects (beans beans the wonderful fruit... you get the picture.) SPeaking of bodily functions -- at work I think I get scared to pee if someone else is in the bathroom. If I know them well enough and we go into the bathroom at the same time -- it doesn't seem to be a problem. But if I walk in and someone is already peeing -- I think my pee get scared and doesn't want to come out. No matter how hard I try -- no matter how full my bladder is -- the pee just won't come until someone else either starts peeing or makes some other kind of noise. It's like this feeling of apprihension and ... scared pee. I just can't seem to go when someone else ...

Ever eat things together that just don't go together? Like today -- for dinner I had an amazing selection of a Hot Pocket and Russian Tea Cakes. For those of you who don't know, Russian Tea Cakes are those little hard powdered sugared covered cakes that you'd eat with ... you guessed it.. TEA! Things like these are not designed to be eaten together. The tea cakes would have gone well with milk ... if I actually trusted the milk in my fridge. The hot pocket --- well nothing really goes well with a hot pocket. Well the thought of this combination may have brought a little throw up into the back of your throught just thinking about it. Because it definately caused a little throw up inside of me. Say it with me now (in the voice of Napoliean Dynamite) Gross! Sadly two of my little fishes died over my long weekend home. I'm very sad. I even ran out to Wegmans at 10pm (because of course by 9:30 when I actually remember that I need to somehow feed my fish over the lon...

I know I'm a horrible person for not updating my blog lately. But I really do have so much to do... sadly ... pathetically... I work too much. This weekend was pretty chill. Didn't do much -- just hung around my house, went to the big GG's for Easter dinner. Hung around -- ate too much... nothing really interesting. It took me about 7 hours to get back to Rochester. Freaking ridiculous. I hate driving. I hate "Emergency road repair" -- it's such bullshit. Work is boring me again. There's lot of work and tons of stuff to do. But it's nothing new or interesting -- just the same old same old. I have been thinking more about moving my career towards sales. At least dealing with people would be challenging. I like trying to screw with people -- it's fun. We have had sooo many new people start lately. The amount of growth is kind of scary. But hopefully it will keep goign up -- then my stock options will be worth something. It's hard t...

So Netflix is totally suing the pants off of Blockbuster. It will be interesting to see if they actually win this IP case. It will be interesting to see what happens. I would personally not like to see that an infringment was found. Mainly because what they have tried to patent is a system for delivery -- not the actual product. While this is very similar -- and the software used to determine what movies go out when -- it's probalby not the exact same -- though it's similar. And it's not like Netflix was a revolutionary product -- just a different way to rent movie -- via mail instead of a store. I don't think that business should be able to hold a patent on a type of business. While McDonalds could patent their french fry maker -- Buger King can use a similar device to produce the exact same fries. I can't imagine that they way that Blockbuster picks movies from a customer's list is the EXACT same as Netflix -- similar and on similar basis. But those ...

So I totally haven't posted in a long ass time... the last time I posted was like the last time I did laundry... way too long ago. So I went to Boston and came back. It was really fun. It made me sad I was no longer living there. The lastest work update is that I got super pissed at our CEO. He actually called and semi-appologized to me. Which is honestly more than I expected from him. Though I of course played the passive aggressive angry employee -- and when he called my four times between 10am and 2:55pm I didn't pick up. But when 3pm hit -- I finally picked up the phone when he called. He was a little flustered that I actually picked up... it was funny. So both the VP of Sales and my boss the CTO has brought up a future career option: Eurpoean Sales. So the pluses are as follows: I'd get to travel to Europe a lot and I'd make a lot more money + quarterly bonuses if I exceed my Sales Targets. The minuses: The work could get really boring and old + I could b...
