Playing dress-up

We are having a Halloween costume contest at work. I can't decide if I want to play or not. If I do play, I don't want to spend a dime. Last year I went as an artist and wore all black with lots of eye makeup.

And here are some quotes to ponder:

"I find it very concerning that you would rather use Microsoft Office or Excel because you get frustrated using the typewriter. Sometimes you need to step up to the plate and face a challenge. Improving your typing skills ON THE TYPEWRITER will make you a better person."

Me: Oh your jewelry is very classic.
Her: I prefer Classy, yours is very urban.

Me: Have you tried doing the St. Joseph thing to sell your house?
Her: No if Jesus can't sell it nobody can.

Now that the art show is complete and the guts of the soundtract are done we can start filiming!

After my second cup of coffee I will set up the stage and the actors will start running their scenes.

So exciting. My goal is to have the trailer up on YouTube in a couple of weeks just in time for the dvd box set release.

Go Fug Yourself had an image of Tori and her husband, they referred to Tori as Horsey McBoobjob. Of course Matt would like to find a horse and place her torso on the horse legs, I put my foot down. But only until I can locate where I put the extra Donna and Brenda.

840+ staples

Today at work I stapled. 840+ because I have not quite completed the row of staples and there are 210 per row.

Tomorrow I hope to find a way to read some articles I printed while staple.

There are still 7 or 8 cases of papers to be stapled. I did 1.5 cases today. I think it might be a long week.

New deadline for job satisfaction is February. For some reason stapling and sorting for 3 weeks straight isn't keeping me simulated in the head. Which really hasn't been that bothersome until this week since I was preoccupied with the art show.

Next post art show.

Artwalk

Today is day one of the Brewery Art Walk. I am nervous and excited.

Yesterday I went to Starbucks at 4:00 to get a coffee. I don't really like starbucks coffee, it usually upsets my stomach and causes gastric distress. All except their light roast. So I waited in a 10 person line and then ordered at tall light roast. The coffee jerk, I know they prefer barista, but the soda jerk has a long history that has morphed into a coffee jerk. So he tells me that they don't have the light roast brewed. Would I like a regular roast and he could water it down for me? Gee wiz. Why would pay $2.00 for a watered down coffee?

I asked rather than give me a watered down version of something that will make me sick, could he just brew a pot of the coffee I ordered. He informed me that they had reached light roast quota for the day and all he can offer me is watered down regular roast. I left and went to 7/11.

If you order a diet coke and they bring you a watered down regular coke, does it make it diet? Watered down dark roast coffee doesn't equal a light roast coffee.

Outsourcing

I pretty much hate calling the customer service people because A. the lie and say they are in Memphis or something. B. I can't understand more than half of what they are saying. C. they suck in general and I don't want to be routed to India to speak to the bank.

Today I called and they needed to speak to my husband, well he isn't available and I don't care if his name is listed first. So I hung up and called back and said my name is Matthew. She clearly didn't believe me and kept asking if she should call me Mr. or Ms. I said just call me Matthew. I got the result I wanted and now I don't have to call ever again.
