More geekiness

You know you're a book geek when you start yelling at the characters in books like normal people yell at movie characters when said characters do stupid things like run up the stairs instead of out the front door while pursued by masked homicidal maniacs.  :)

I've been reading The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman (a book I acquired long before the movie came out, thank goodness - movie book covers suck butt), and I found myself telling Lyra to lie through her teeth when she met up with Mrs. Coulter nearly 3/4 through the book.  Not only was I vehemently thinking "Lie, lie, lie" at her, but I was also thinking up things for her to say.  How lame am I that I have an overwhelming need to tell a fictional 11-year-old how to lie to grown-ups?

Maybe I need to get a life...

Bells will be ringing

Please be forgiving about my typos today as this is posted from my iPhone.

Well, two of my best friends are getting married in September (congrats E & B). I also found out my dear lil' sister is getting married in May. I'm wondering if I'll be invited :)

Stupid, stupid, stupid

As if it wasn't bad enough that they'd bastardized the standard SAP software, now the idiots are turning off the ability to load information and query the system in SAP.  What's the point in having a multimillion dollar system designed to make data gathering and manipulation easier if you turn off all the damned data gathering and manipulation tools???!??!??!??!?!??!

Fucking idiots!

Jersey Girl

I'm off to NJ for a work trip this week.  Mattopia will be batching it for the week.  Wonder what I'll come home to find...  :)

Work sucks

I'll be spending a lot of my time over the next few months in my office.  And by office I mean cubicle.  Fun, fun.  I just hope it gets better, or at least gets me a better resume.  :)

In other news, I'm booked solid for the next three Saturdays.  Good thing I wasn't planning
to get my hair dyed anytime soon.  Genesis next week, return from NJ/go to Mansfield
then next, and Annie the one after that.  I was busy this Saturday, too, but I did have a ton of fun.  :)

Pretty shitty thank you

I've been volunteering and serving on IMA (Institute of Management Accountants) committees since 1998.  I've spent a lot of time and money on the whole thing.  And now, the one committee I'd actually like to be on won't accept my application.  How shitty is that?

A Horse, a Rooster, and a Harley

Note: I did not write this; I'm not that funny, but this made me chuckle

On the farm lived a rooster and a horse, both of whom loved to play together. One day the two were playing, when the horse fell into a bog and began to sink. Scared for his life, the horse whinnied for the rooster to go get the farmer for help!

Off the rooster ran, back to the farm. Arriving at the farm, he searched and searched for the farmer, but to no avail, for he had gone to town with the only tractor. Running around, the rooster spied the farmer's new Harley. Finding the keys in the ignition, the rooster sped off with a length of rope, hoping he still had time to save his friend's life.

Back at the bog, the horse was surprised but happy to see the rooster arrive on the shiny Harley.  He managed to get a hold of the loop of rope the rooster tossed to him. After tying the other end to the rear bumper of the farmer's bike, the rooster then drove slowly forward and, with the aid of the powerful bike, rescued the horse! Happy and proud, the rooster rode the Harley back to the farmhouse, and the farmer was none the wiser when he returned.

The friendship between the two animals was cemented: Best Buddies, Best Pals.

A few weeks later, the rooster fell into a mud pit, and soon, he too, began to sink and cried out to the horse to save his life! The horse thought a moment, walked over, and straddled the large puddle.

Looking underneath, he told the rooster to grab his hangy-down thing and he would then lift him out of the pit. The rooster got a good grip, and the horse pulled him up and out, saving his life.

The moral of the story?

(yep, you betcha, there IS a moral!)

When you're hung like a horse, you don't need a Harley to pick up chicks

The glory of the geeks

This is just awesome.

In other fun news, I'll be receiving lots of stuff in the next two weeks.  I love National City reward points for buying me many books, CDs, and Guitar Hero Encore 80s Edition awesomeness.  It's like totally rad, dude.  :)

I'll also be receiving some HD DVDs, a few other CDs, and some iPhone accessories thanks to the sale of my old cell phone.

Gotta love eBay.
