if you use a toilet seat cover
please make sure it flushes. don't leave it hanging if in the toilet and half on the seat. i mean come on look before you leave the stall. but then again you are probably the same person that refuses to double flush if your stuff doesn't go down the first time.

movies at work
yesterday i watched the station agent, one of my all time favorite movies. then i started watching before night falls. today i am going to watch man on fire. part of me feels very guilty for doing this at work. but since i am actually doing work at the same time that i am watching the movie i don't feel too bad. i'm just grateful that no one is here!

killing time at work
the week between christmas and new year's is often the slowest time of year for us. most people take the week off including our volunteers. this is not to say that chrissy and i don't have any work to do but if we actually decided to sit down and do it at once it would only take us a day.
this week is about pacing yourself. spreading the work out to last a whole week instead of a day. with all the super scouted sites this means things can get pretty boring here. i did not bring a book to work today but i did one better -- i brought dvds!
my ibook is setup right next to my monitor to better conceal my efforts so i will have an enjoyable week catching up on movies. being the multitasking genius that i am, i can still attend to any email or phone calls that may come in.
its movie time!

bluetooth rules!
i successfully connected my bluetooth adapter with cell so that i can now use the phone to connect to the web on my ibook. it rules and i admit to reaching complete geek status. i even did the happy dance in my cube when it worked.

happy b-day to me
well i actually came into work today. my first birthday present was missing the train. my second was that pvd has this week off. that deserves a big yippee!.
it is actually going to be pretty quiet this week and now i am shooting myself for not bringing a book. note to self: bring book tomorrow. this means i will have to play bounce out all day on my ibook.
so far 33 doesn't feel any different. although i am feeling a little soreness in my neck.
zaida skipped out on us today so that means no b-day cake today. chrissy and i prepared our lunches around this. bad zaida. i guess it is a good thing that i brought that clementine in although it doesn't taste anything like the chocolate cake with chocolate frosting that i had asked for. sigh.

a very chocolate christmas
this morning i pulled out five origins chocolate bars made by jaques torres from food tv. he's the guy that makes all those wild chocolate designs. these bars have different "medicinal" purposes such as "to help brighten your spirits" and "to help settle your 'too full' tummy." they also have some weird things in them like ginger and black pepper. i'm not too sure about that.
i also got some other origins products from their chocolate line, so if i come into work smelling like chocolate you know why. the one good thing is that if the soap accidentally gets in my mouth it will taste good.
i got my usual black sweater which always makes me happy. then i got some flannel pjs. i love pjs and flannel. combined they make me real happy. to make it even better, my mom scored extra points by getting them in plaid and a dark bluish shade instead of some femmy color like she has in the past.
but what she really scored points on was the bluetooth adapter. ok, this was the one gadet i asked for and purchased for her (with her credit card) from the apple site. this very tiny device lets me sync (thanks isync) my phone with my ibook and imac. what i didn't realize is that i can now use this device with my phone to surf the web on the road. this made me soooo happy when i found out that i gave a little yelp of pure joy.
the one major bummer is that today doesn't really feel like christmas because it is a saturday and i have to go to work on monday. thank goodness for the christmas story marathon on tnt!

oh moose munch
how i love you so!
i received my annual order of a bucket of moose munch - that wonderful popcorn covered with dark chocolate, carmel, toffee, etc. harry and david really needs to be thanked for this creation. i could eat this all day and be the happiest person ever. although i would prefer the dark chocolate the best.
on a side note i am usually the one who gets injured over the holidays. today my mother calls me from work saying that santa claus cut her finger. it is an unusually deep gash but has stopped bleeding. my mother has said the she refuses to go to white plains hospital because they are so over crowded she would be there all day. but really, to be cut by santa claus on christmas eve sucks. for those of you who may not be aware my mother is the manager of the christmas shop this year so i am hoping that it was not a real santa that cut her. otherwise pressing charges against the real guy might cause a drizzle down effect on a shortage of presents for me.

christmas eve eve
well thanks to our executive director and his cheapness instead of having a holiday party for the company we got a day off. which is really funny cuz if given the choice we would all choose the party over the extra day. just kidding, of course we would choose the extra day off!
so today i got to sleep a little late, catch up on some laundry, clean the house, and wrap presents.
here's some advice for wrapping presents - make sure you have enough tape before you start wrapping. otherwise you will have to do what i did when i ran out half way through wrapping one of my gifts. i know you're just antsy wondering what i had to do.
but you may have to wait cuz the wind outside is making my mights flicker.
ok, i had to use a glue stick. but not just any glue stick i used one that is purple. don't worry it dries clear.
i have two more gifts to wrap and the chances of me actually leaving my house to go get more tape are very slim. so my choices are to stick with the glue stick (ha, ha) or use packing tape.
peapod is also supposed to be making a delivery today so i hope i still have lights when they come. otherwise the peapod guy might think i have something else on my mind when he sees all the lit candles. ooh, perhaps it will be the cute peapod chick today. that would be nice.
well off to find a flashlight on this dreary crappy day. although it would be much worse if i were at work.

holiday cheer
got this email today from a former co-worker. cheers!
Hi Everyone
Hope everyone is doing well and getting into the holidays. I've been in a bit of a funk and not keeping up with my correspondence and I apologize for that. I don't have time to write individual emails so I am writing a general one and you will KNOW what applies to you.
To those of you who continue to email or call me, I am sorry that it has taken me long to respond or in some cases not respond at all. Please know that funk or no funk you are always remembered and thought of. I wish you the very best and I thank God for the day we met.
To those of you who I have not heard from, you are creepy crawly people, but I still think of you and wish the best for you always.
To those of you who take the time to send me shit or piss emails, stop sending the emails and use your internet time to place a call. Yes, I know, I don't send the emails but I will put more efforts into making phone calls.I still wish you all the best and hope your holiday season is happy and safe.
To those of you who like the one way friendship, you know, "its good to hear from you, keep in touch" but if I don't make the contact (which recently hasn't been happening), I don't hear from you. But again, I think of you and wish you the best,especially during this holiday season.
No matter which category you fall into I want you all to know that each and everyone of you has touched my life in some way and I won't forget that. I wish all of you a joyous holiday season and a happy, healthy New Year.
Love, Hugs, Kisses,

operation destroy can man
well today was the second week of phase 1 of operation destroy can man. for the second week in a row i covered up the bar codes and crushed the cans. this morning he took them so now i think he may be going to one of those places that accepts crushed cans.
implementation of phase 2 will begin tonight. the crazy clue is coming home. in addition to covering the bar code i am going to cut the cans in half and super glue to make can art. i wonder how many cans it will take to spell out fuck you?

dude
i admit it i use the word dude in many of my conversations every day. i have been using that word since my early teens and it has become a very important part of my vocabulary, even when talking to my boss. i am conscious enough to know when to not use it, like when i am talking to volunteers. that is called being an adult being able to be professional when needed.
this morning while scanning cnn.com i came across this article about a professor who is studying the use of dude. apparently the word dude "derives its power from something he calls cool solidarity -- an effortless kinship that's not too intimate." this cool solidarity lets men get close to each other without appearing gay. this is the prof's thoughts not mine. oh and according to the article women use the word too (duh).
cnn's daily poll also features the dude thing by asking if we use it in everyday conversation. i am proud to say that i am among the 30 percent that do use it, the other 70 percent are lying.

take that can man
so my war with the can man has officially begun. this evening, the night before recycling day, i got a magic marker and covered the bar code on all the cans in my bin. to add insult to injury i also got my rubber mallet out and severely dented the cans. since the only places in westchester that will redeem the cans are places with the machines he will not be able to redeem them. ha ha ha ha (note the evil laughter.)
the rubber mallet also served as a great stress reliever. with each pound of the mallet images of phil, george w., the can man, and others flashed before my eyes. i feel incredibly relaxed for a sunday evening.
