Can we just talk about the shit that I learn at work? How about let's have everyone start purchasing LED light bulbs. That's right - light bulbs for your house that are made from LED's instead of incadescent bulbs. The upfront cost is something that you will almost want to choke on ($60/bulb). In terms of energy savings - it can save you around $350-400 during its lifetime. The real savings is that you don't have to replace it. Like ever. If you ran an LED bulb for 12 hours a day - it would last about 11.5 years. If you are more realistic with your indoor lighting use - if you ran the bulb say 8 hours a day - that's right - 17 years before you'd have to replace it. LED LIGHT BULBS!

And now for the Weekend update, with your host: Tina Fay

I only wish I had the ingenuity that Tina Fay has in her writing... I'm afraid I'm a desperate lot and most often any attempts at being humorous fall flatter than the breasts in the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), this weekend was relatively tame. Lots of drinking -- but not that exciting. Didn't really get to meet a lot of new people. Though the highlight had to be the marriage proposal I got. Yes, that's right, a marriage proposal. While I'm waiting impatiently to get into the single stall in the ladies room -- I recieved the most amazingly wretched drunk pickup line weirdness. "Will you marry me." Me: "Excuse me are you talking to me?" Druken boy: "Yeah, will you marry me?" Me: "Um no, I don't even know you. I don't even live here." Drunken boy: "Me either." Me: "Um okay -- so I just want to pee." Drunken boy: "But will you ...

Nicest Weather EVER!

The ride to work this morning was amazing. It was some of the nicest weather that I've seen in a long time. Almost 60 deg F, sunny, just nice. I want more of this weather. Bought tickets today for BOSTON! I'm in major need of a mini-break and in major need of getting away from work for a few days. I'm so excited to go back! I miss it sooo much. It's hard living somewhere you don't like. It just makes me think of looking for another job so that I don't have to live here anymore. But I'm not even partially vested yet -- so I need to stay at least a full year to become at least partially vested. *Sigh* Work stucks today for so many reasons. I'm glad it's friday. And I'm really glad I get to go to Boston next weekend. Yeah for Boston!
