I have many job titles, now including head of IT
Which basically means “Here, take care of this, you know the most about computers.” So, in an office of 10 people, this isn’t exactly a prestigious title.
Does this mean I get to move to the basement and have my own Moss & Roy?

I felt a little excited for summer just now
Then I realized I no longer get summers off.
Stupid adulthood. :/

Going to Steak n Shake for dinner tonight
Trying to fit in a salad, shake, and cheese fries into 480 calories. Hmm.
I’ll probably just steal a couple of sips of mah dude’s shake and a bite or two of his cheese fries.
Or, order what I usually order, but not eat for two days.
I think I’ll go for the former.

I keep hearing “Monsanto” being thrown around the office. I really hope we won’t have any dealings with them.
I don’t want any of their filthy money. :/

bluecadence replied to your post: Got some stuff taken care of today
the song from The Wedding Singer? that’s actually pretty adorable
Yep! Awww, yeah I thought it’d be pretty cute. Everyone will know it, and I’m going to keep it a surprise to as many people as possible.
Got some stuff taken care of today
Invitations are all ready to be mailed. Favors are all made.
I looked through the sample vows/ceremony stuff the officiant sent.
Also, I’m contemplating singing & playing “Grow Old With You” to my dude as my vows to him. Sweet or cheesy?

Accidentally turned off the server at work
The past five minutes were filled with whispered “Oh shit! Oh fuck!” while I waited for the angry baby alligator-sounding thing to start back up.
Luckily no one noticed while it was down.
I just exclaimed "Holy shit!" at my own voice
In a good way.
I’ve been out in my car practicing (singing/guitar) a couple of songs, and recording how I sound to see where I suck.
I sing way better when I’m playing guitar (go figure?). I listened to the last recording I did and this one part sounds amazing. I’m never happy with anything I do, always insanely critical, but damn it’s perfect. Good job, self.

hey! there’s a clever little thing my friend’s sister did for her invites. She numbered them and kept a key to help them match up rsvps and stuff. It might be a little late for that now though
That is really clever!!! Haha yeah I left a space for people to write their name on the reply card, so I hope they do. Luckily,...

In a meeting about writing something for work
They don’t want to use oxford commas, and do want double spaces at the end of sentences.

I want to hang out with the UPS guy
I nearly got my shoes delivered to work just so he’d deliver them.
My best friend in town is the UPS guy, and our “hanging out” is whenever he delivers a package.
October 2003
Interviewer: If you had $17.99 to spare, what album would you buy for a friend?
Jim James: If it was a younger friend who didn't really know the music that I love, I would take that $17.99, add another $10 and buy Physical Graffiti. The first time I heard Led Zeppelin was on Halloween night when I was in fifth grade. It was Ramble On from Led Zeppelin II, and it changed my life.

bluecadence replied to your post: Just ordered my weddin’ shoes
shoessssssss! Did you go with the Converse ones? Those were adorable
Yes! I had to get the regular script on the side instead of the “I ♥” ones, because they discontinued them. I was told they’d bring them back by someone at the company, but apparently not. Anyway, it says “I love” on the side...

Just ordered my weddin' shoes
I know my mom’s not a fan of them, but she’s doing her very best to not be a momzilla. She’s been very supportive and nice about a couple of things I can tell she’s not really big on.
I also stuffed some wedding invitations. I did 10 for my boyfriend’s work buddies who are just exchanging invitations by hand instead of mailing them. It.took.forever.
I need to stop...

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES.

The mail lady won't come into our office anymore
She opened the door yesterday, saw the puppy lying on the floor, went “Ooh!” and shut the door. She just slides the mail under the door now.
If only she knew the worst that would happen to her is she would get wagged at and possibly sniffed.

Just took the dog for a walk around the block...
A lady walked by and said “That dog’s bigger than you are!”
Considering I felt like una vaca yesterday, and the fact that I outweigh this svelte dog by 65 pounds, WHAT A COMPLIMENT…even if it was only meant as “Hey, that’s a big dog.”

Also, I had cake for lunch
Someone’s birthday in the office.
Chocolate cake with mocha ganache and a hard chocolate icing (?) on top. Holy delicious. Pretty much sat around and shot the shit the whole morning.
THIS IS TRULY A SPLENDID DAY.

The translation we have for "Ancient grains"
Is: “Very old cereal.”
Like, I’m just picturing a Dutch-speaking person to be like “What?! Who thinks old-ass stale cereal is beneficial?”

I went to the grocery store for 20 minutes
Dog completely obliterated the blinds in the front window. He was supposed to be over his abandonment tantrums. I would have taken him with me and left him in the car, but I couldn’t remember if the laws here allowed that or not, and I’d rather risk cleaning up some angry pee than having a criminal record. He’s only been known to pee if he felt abandoned, not tear the shit out of...
I had a horrible nightmare that I was sent to jail
For 10 months, for slightly pushing a 20-ish girl out of my way in a crowd.
It was one of the worst nightmares ever.
There are tornado siren nerds
Seriously. I took a close picture of a new siren on campus one day, just because. Two people commented on it, one of which takes pictures of tornado sirens wherever they go. Even on vacation. They even have a Lego photoset of sirens they made of Lego. They know the details of every siren ever made. Such an odd hobby.
Every night I walk this dog
Cobwebs in the face. Every. Night.
I bet that poor spider hates the shit out of me.
