Taking Criticism

Posted by: orboy on: April 15, 2008

I’d like to think I can take criticism well.  In my head, I understand where it is coming from for most people and that it isn’t, in most cases, a direct attack on you as a person.
When it comes down to it, though, I find that I can’t take criticism well at all.  Despite my [...]

Up in arms!

Posted by: orboy on: April 11, 2008

What an interesting phrase, “up in arms.” It’s one of my favorites. And though I rarely use it myself, and tend to make fun of it when I do hear it, I’m still happy that exists.
Best of all, a coworker used it in an email to me this morning. He mentioned that in a [...]

Girl’s Friday… Thus far…

Posted by: icagirl on: April 11, 2008

So, it’s Friday and thus far, Fabulous!!!!  Every Friday, my buddy Al brings in some sort of breakfasty food – today it was bagels – My absolute favorite.  He knows this, so he’ll rotate the bagels in whenever he can but it’s difficult because everyone else really likes the sugary breakfast stuff better (except for [...]

Boy

Anyone else think it’s funny that Boy takes a sabbatical for over a month, then invites his mother to read the blog, then posts that I’m annoying? Wait…

She annoys me sometimes.
And that’s all I have to say about that.

The Working Lunch

Posted by: icagirl on: April 11, 2008

I used to take a lunch break every day – this is back when FriendOfGirl worked here, last July.  Then, she left… Ever since, I’ve been systematically acquiring more and more work (on purpose – I don’t like being bored and I was, so that’s that).  The problem is now that, most of the time, [...]

The Bouncing Banana

Posted by: icagirl on: April 8, 2008

This morning, Jamba Juice was giving away free breakfast.  The man shouting about the free breakfast was dressed as a banana.  He was very happy and excitable; he was doing such an awesome job as a banana, it would be a shame if this wasn’t his daily job.  He was rounding people up, shouting across [...]

Chapstick in the Dryer

Posted by: icagirl on: April 8, 2008

Did I mention that half my wardrobe has been taken out by Chapstick?  I forgot to take my Peppermint Chapstick out of my jean’s pocket before throwing the jeans into the washer and then the dryer.  Now, the clothes that were in the dryer with said jeans (and Chapstick) are dotted with greasy streaklike mayhem.  [...]

If Boy had a Chainsaw

Posted by: icagirl on: April 7, 2008

I had another nightmare last night.  These are not uncommon for me.  I have a few different series of nightmares.  Well, this series is about Boy and they are awful. 
We are supposed to break up on July 7th of this year (don’t ask – I have no idea how/why that date in particular was chosen [...]

Wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper, too?

Posted by: icagirl on: April 4, 2008

Let’s get right into it… Hi!  Apparently, Boy will no longer be writing on this blog, even though it makes me very, very sad… This frees me up to comment on… what?  nuclear reactors?  not really.  I’m thinking something simpler… Ah, I know!  Television.  Specifically, reality TV. 
With a disappointing end to my Stargate infatuation (Season [...]
