If you've missed the story on NPR about the two little boys who each identify as girls, except they lead completely different lives because one's parents force him to act like a boy and the other's parents allow him (her) to dress and live like a girl, then go read it now.

The story isn't really even about the children, but about the way their ( Read more... )

So I'm trying to think of something really awesome to do for April Fool's Day at the office. What's cool is, I have administrative access to the server and everyone's computers, assuming that they're on. But the question is....how do I best abuse that power?

I think it would be fun to go in and rearrange all Karen's folders and files. The only ( Read more... )

And another year has passed me by. To prevent future forgettances, I'll recap the major events in my life for the year of 2007. Just the majorest ones, though. I don't have time for trivialities.

• Alyssa moved in
• I stopped doing work at Diligenz
• I posted my very first Craigslist personal ad
• I threw my first truly successful party at my condo
• Alyssa ( Read more... )

I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas. Mine was busy (to the point of exhaustion) and fraught with too-little sleep, but generally happy, as it was filled with cookies and Apples to Apples. Today was a delightful Boxing Day (it was really good to see you, Sam!) and even though I have to go to work tomorrow, it won't really feel like work ( Read more... )

So I didn't go to work today. I did, however, work from home, so I don't feel too bad about not showing up to answer the phones. Karen did just fine, I'm sure. (Side note: I do feel a tiny bit guilty about how much I rail on her, because she got me some kind of Christmas gift and emailed me to let me know it was in the drawer at my desk....then ( Read more... )

So today I wrote a poem, and I'd like to share it with all of you:

In the bathroom down the hall,
There's a lightswitch on the wall
In the handicapped stall,
And I don't know what it does.

I call it "What the Fuck Does that Lightswitch Do?"

Seriously, what does it do?

He is not mine. It does not concern me. I should not concern myself with it.

My new job is kind of boring at the moment, but on Friday I get to start learning how to update the website. Hurray for things I actually want to do! The commute (via bus) isn't too horrible, only mildly annoying. But it's way better than driving in at that hour, ( Read more... )

Happy birthday to me! Happy new job to me! Happy tattoo healing to me! Happy going to San Francisco in August and seeing Avenue Q there to me! Happy going to see Into the Woods in September to me! Happy summer to me!

So the weather is gorgeous (if a tad too balmy for my tastes), I have a new non-Diligenz job (which is slightly boring at the ( Read more... )

Yo. I got a new job.

*** pause for applause ***

YAY!!!!! I start July 9th, and my last day at Diligenz is July 3rd, so that means I have four more work days left (I'm going to the Mariners' game tomorrow rather than work) as a part of CSC. It's trippy and cool and I'm completely stoked and super nervous. I know I'll be fine, I know it's a ( Read more... )

So last night was pretty much one of the funnest nights ever. I never thought that seeing my grandma drunk would be all that great, but it totally was. I don't think there are a lot of people who can say that about their grandmas -- either they don't see them drunk, or Drunk Grandma isn't very fun. But mine was. Just ask Alyssa and Jess.

So we ( Read more... )
