Simplifying Life: Tip #27 – Vodka

Posted by: icagirl on: April 29, 2008

Throw away all of your household cleaners.  Throw them all away and buy Vodka.  This will greatly simplify cleaning day. It means that at no point in time will you ever have more than one bottle of cleaner to contend with during your cleaning, and as a bonus, cleaning time will be TONS more fun (if slightly [...]

Simplifying Life: Tip #34 – Socks

Posted by: orboy on: April 29, 2008

Throw away all of your socks.  Throw them all away and buy new ones.  When you get new socks, make sure they’re all the same.  This will greatly simplify laundry day. It means that at no point in time will you ever have more than one sock without a match, and it would be impossible [...]

Dealing with the expectations of respectful employment

Posted by: orboy on: April 26, 2008

The other day at the bus stop, I started talking to an individual who not too recently started showing up on my route. In fact, he works in the same building (same company) as myself.
As we started to talk, I thought I’d ask him what he did. After all, if we worked for [...]

Never Forget the Potato Famine

Posted by: icagirl on: April 24, 2008

Inspired by Boy’s consumption of an overwhelming amount of Mashed Potatoes last night , I decided it was high time to support the United Nations via the blog.  Did you know that the United Nations declared that 2008 is officially The International Year of the Potato?
Potatoes are awesome.  Just think of all the [...]

This One is for the Security Guards!

Posted by: icagirl on: April 23, 2008

So, today is pretty awesome.  Whenever my boss is on vacation, I get a full week to wear my hair in braids (by far my favorite style), to wear jeans (by far my favorite pants), and to listen to my iPod whilst working.  Today being the first day of awesomeness, I am in a particularly [...]

A Simple Question

Posted by: icagirl on: April 23, 2008

Yesterday was the day before my Boss was leaving for a week’s vacation.  Thus, I was slammed with requests for her signature, “five minutes of her time”, not to mention all the last minute things that she needed me to complete for her.  No need to panic, as I had planned her last-minute panic into [...]

“Fly” issues

Posted by: orboy on: April 22, 2008

I’ve been having issues with the flies (zippers) of my pants.  In fact, I checked just now and (surprise, surprise!) it was down – “now” being this morning in my cube at work, so it’s been down since I’ve gotten ready to leave the apartment this morning.
There were at least 2 more occasions in the [...]

Movies are unreal

Posted by: orboy on: April 18, 2008

Movies use computers for digital special effects.  That’s a well known fact.  Many of the things you know just can’t be real (like dinosaurs in Jurassic Park) come from these computers.
The sad part is, now-a-days, even many of the things that could easily be real are done in computers. I just saw a video reel [...]

When Girl is away Boy will play!

Posted by: orboy on: April 18, 2008

Girl just left me.  She left me for a good 4 days to spend some time with her family.  That’s nice; not only for her family (and presumably her), but for me as well since I can now party all night long with all my friends and not have to worry about what she thinks [...]

The Non-Existent Non-Profit Tax Break

Posted by: icagirl on: April 17, 2008

This “big idea” was circulated at my (not-for-profit) office today.  The idea is that all government employees and non-profit employees should not have to pay income taxes.  Besides all income taxes being unconstitutional and an infringement on our rights, this was a fabulous idea from my perspective.  The first thing I thought of was that [...]
