Five people in my company were laid off today. Thankfully I was not one of them.
The most unfortunate part is HR started at 10 a.m. so everything for the week is fucked up. Sources said they had originally planned to do it Friday. We lost out on photos of an event tonight because the photographer assigned to it got the ax. We lost stories... Read More
Ohhhh Nooooooo, I didn't know there was photographic evidence of me falling off the stool You know what the worst part was? I wasn't even buzzed anymore, I have no excuse!
It's funny, a lot of my friends keep saying that I should be flattered that I was asked to give out my number three times in one day. I think that if other people had SEEN the creeps who talked to me, they'd say otherwise. It's not flattering, it's disturbing.
requiem came down Friday. We saw a late showing of "Iron Man." It was pretty good. The journalist (why is there a journalist in just about every movie?) pissed me off. We had dinner afterwards then headed home.... Read More
Despite having a really wonderful birthday (which hasn't happened since I turned 21), I'm feeling like my nerves are completely frazzled.
Thanks for the birthday wishes btw!
requiem came down Tuesday. He crashed at my place before moving onto his hotel. Wednesday he took me to a birthday breakfast and dropped me off at work. A little after noon I got a bouquet of flowers... Read More
Hello. I am in LongBeach for like... 3 more days. I'd love to make more friends whilst here. Could you please text me at 778-836-3783 with details of any events that might fall within this time? Or even if you'd wanna kick it oldschool or something?
I just wanna make some more friends while I'm down here.
Tell me how your parents met. Or maybe some older relatives. Basically I want to know how did people meet before the Internet? Before lives seemed so crazy busy.
Here are the ones I know:
Mom and Dad
They met square dancing. Because that's not nearly exciting enough I'll tell you how he proposed to her. They were walking along the beach, my mom's favorite... Read More
Over a petri dish and a hotplate in microbiology choosing lab partners on their first day. They started dating and got married before they started their masters degrees in Bio Chemistry.
How are you? I've been so busy working and going insane with home life. Sorry we have been so quiet. I hope to come out to the next brunch. Take care.
Bro started talking to me again. Someone slashed his tires last night. He's pretty certain he knows who did it. I think I've met the kid but whatever. He'd better not ever show up at my place.
I am sad to hear about the visibility problems with the XD. I didn't feel like I couldn't see when I test... Read More
Had the fight with the bro
Brunch with SGOC. Had a fuckin' blast
Went car shopping with obd. The schmucks at HB Mazda are sexist. I'm still angry with them. I've decided on the XD (any comments? I'm looking at you stiles).
Had dinner with obd and Ivarr at an... Read More
The Xd has a nicer interior and more useful power than the Xa it replaces, and the instruments are finally in the right place. It does have large-ish blind spots from the thick c-pillars.
I'd probably spend the 400 bucks for the uprated stereo but pass on the hideously expensive nav system.
I went to a Kia dealership in Victorville, first they let me test drive a Sportage that was sooo out of alignment they shouldn't have let anyone see it and second the salesman was telling my sister and I about the places we could put our lipstick and the mirrors on the inside. Needless to say I will never ever buy a Kia based on that experience (even if the car had been perfect). I don't like the xd that much I prefer the xa but mostly that's because it doesn't have as many (or nearly any) blind spots and I'm kinda obsessive about that, but hurray for getting a new car!
Ghost write to bascially help you with certain things. I'd want one for mine.
