This Train…

Posted by: icagirl on: February 29, 2008

The train today was an awful experience, and usually that’s not the case.  Three people made the ride disgusting and annoying.
1. Girl with dripping chili dog, slurping it up and making the entire car smell.  (There is no eating on the train, but those signs don’t apply to her) 
2. Woman, for unknown reasons, pushing me [...]

Subtle Speaker Syndromes

Posted by: icagirl on: February 26, 2008

Sitting at the two-hour look-ahead meeting this morning, I drew doodles.  I also passively watched the meager PowerPoint presentation that attended to the speakers as Klingon servants would less-than-humbly serve their humanoid masters.  Basically, the PowerPoint was not well done and served to make the meeting, dare I say it, less interesting.  There were seventeen different topics [...]

Lunch in the Park… in the Winter

Posted by: icagirl on: February 16, 2008

So, the weather has been very strange as of late.  Severely cold one minute and then ridiculously mild the next minute.  I haven’t lived here very long, but it seems that there is always one week in February where the sun dumps its rays on the city without regard to the season we’re supposed to [...]

Why I can’t post comments on Digg.com

Posted by: orboy on: February 13, 2008

For those of you that don’t know, Digg.com is a popular news aggregation web site. Basically, people log in and post popular news stories “digging” them.  The more people that digg a story, the more popular it is.  Then, people can easily view the most popular stories in the news by seeing which news stories [...]

Fergi

Posted by: icagirl on: February 11, 2008

I have a plant.  Her name is Fergi.
She’s been taken away from me because I’m supposedly sending bad vibes to her as she sits on my desk.
Jason gave her to someone else in a cube around the corner.  He left her name on her, though, so hopefully she will retain her name.
This is a bummer.

Coupon Lunches

Posted by: icagirl on: February 8, 2008

One of my fabulous co-workers is a little bit kooky – in the totally cool way.  She only invites me out if she has coupons for something.  The first time she invited me out was because she had a ‘buy one, get one’ gingerbread latte coupon.  I do not like gingerbread lattes, but she seemed [...]

Outsourced Support

Posted by: orboy on: February 7, 2008

I DESPISE outsourced customer support. I have had the luxury of calling customer support for 3 different companies today (it just happened to be a VERY bad day). Only one of those went well, mainly because I didn’t have to talk to anyone, but this is me going under the assumption that the [...]

The Car Commute

Posted by: orboy on: February 6, 2008

For a few days this week I’ll be needing to drive to work.  Normally I use mass transit. There’s a train station that I can walk to from our apartment.  A train I pick up there will take me pretty much to work (and Girl does the same).
This week, for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I’ll [...]

Forgetting Lunch

Posted by: orboy on: February 2, 2008

I hate it when I’m so busy at work that I forget lunch. The next thing I know, I look up and see the clock says 3pm. Wait, wasn’t I supposed to do something between morning and now? Oh yeah, EAT!
This has happened a number of times this past week and it kind [...]
