memed kicking and screaming

work!  so how is work going, ESC?

WELL!  work is going just fine, thanks for asking!  Umm…OK, so things can get a little boring.  REALLY boring, actually.  Especially when both managers are gone on vacation, and only a couple people in the department realize that they can give us stuff to do.  Anything.  Just [...]

bag lady

Saturday we drove to scenic Gadsden Alabama (a good halfway point) to meet my in-laws for lunch.  After cramming our craws with seafood, we walked around a nearby mall and chatted and caught up.  It was a lovely afternoon, but we were pretty exhausted by the end of the day.

Today we decided to [...]

ESC: sooo…hey baby *massages his leg* are you really full?  hmmm???

Kev: Oh yeah.  I’m too full to do anything.

multi-purpose office supplies

This morning started off kilter when I walked into the bathroom at work and saw…a man?  Filling a cup in the sink?

Wha?

Did I go into the wrong…no…no urinals, big WOMEN sign on door…

Is that a guy?  Maybe it’s a manly chick?  Button down blue shirt, dockers, walkie talkie maintanence gear, short [...]

dressed for success

Work is getting busier, thank goodness!  Late yesterday we had a fairly big project dropped on us, and today added one priority (which we completed) and two this-will-be-coming-at-you-soon-so-watch-out warnings of projects.  I’m liking having an office mate to work with.  We’re sharing projects, and it’s making the work go faster, AND I’m learning more.  [...]

a rewarding week

Whew, made it!  Out of the parking garage, and through my first week at my new job.  It’s been fun, busy, somewhat boring, and awesome all around.  It was a trial by fire, really, as they threw us into a huge undertaking that while not mentally challenging, was still quite the challenge to get [...]

m.c. escher, parking architect

Sorry, can’t blog.  I’m lost in the parking garage at work.  Seriously, there’s a 4th dimension here somewhere between one end and the other.  I’ve been driving around for 3 days, trying to find the exit.  I can SEE it, but somehow I just can’t make it over there.

As soon as I get [...]

first day of work!

Obviously now that I have a REAL GROWN UP JOB, I can’t be blogging about it, lest I get myself Dooced.  I will give you little bits of what I saw and heard today, though.

I gave myself an hour for the dreaded 285 commute.  I got there in 25 minutes.

I forgot how [...]

weekend lessons learned

1. although “gimme gimme gimee” by ABBA has a GREAT beat to walk around the indoor track to, the hip gyrations and jazz hands it induces may garner you strange looks from the teenagers playing basketball below.

2. Kevin doesn’t like it when I do jazz hands in public, either.  And he DEFINITELY won’t [...]

Chattiest!
