Feeling  todayBrand new kitten! Brand new kitten! (Changed 2-15-06) Sunday, February 29, 2004
AN EVIL IDEA I was over at my sister's house the other day, helping with the boys for a little while. And they were watching Sesame Street. You all remember a couple of years ago, when the big thing going on was "Are Bert and Ernie gay? Are Bert and Ernie gay? Is Sesame Street showing alternative lifestyles? Are they gay?" (No, they're just good friends.) So I'm helping my sister fold sheets, when a Bert and Ernie segment comes on. And I just start laughing to myself. My sister looks over and me and asks why I'm laughing. "I just had an evil idea. Remember the whole big thing about Bert and Ernie being gay? Just had a thought: Queer Eye for the Muppet Guy."

AND ONCE MORE Remember last year about this time, when I said I didn't want to go through a particular experience again, for a long time? Well, a year is *not* a long time. On Wednesday morning, the mother of my best friend Dan passed away, somewhat unexpectedly. Having known Dan for nearly all my life (since we were 3 years old), his mother became, in a number of ways, like a second mother to me. Good bye Debbie. I'll miss you. I love you.

HOW DO YOU SPELL THAT AGAIN? The company I work for is called nabn, which stands for North American Benefits Network. Keep that in mind, as the second word is relevant to the rest of this post. We recently had somebody come back to work with us, one of our girls from customer service. They were in either the National Guard, or the Reserves, I can't remember which. (It's not somebody I normally have a lot of contact with here at work.) She returned from a tour of duty in Iraq, guarding prisoners and doing MP work. Recently we got a "Certificate of Appreciation" and a letter from Larry R. Ellis, General, US Army. For all we know, he even signed it himself, rather than just doing a stamp with his signature on it. They keep them displayed in the lobby at work. Now, the letter has the name of this country, America, in it 3 times. In the upper corner, there's also the seal of the Department of Defense, with "United States of America" at the bottom. Remember the second word in the name of the company I work for? American. Just one, little additional letter to the end of the name of this country. Same word, just a little extra. So how has the certificate and letter been addressed? They have been sent to N Amerian Benefits Network. No, that is not a typo, on MY part. Company name: AMERICAN. Name on letter: AMERIAN. Am I the only one who finds it somewhat disturbing that the United States Army cannot properly spellcheck themselves? That they make sure that a company that has "America", or a derivative of it, is actually spelled correctly in a letter and certificate they send? Friday, February 06, 2004
IT'S OKAY, I'LL JUST WAIT Yes, it's fine. I'll just wait right here while you recover from the shock of fainting that I've actually got a new post here on the blog. Not a problem. I'm not going anywhere for a little while. All better now? Good. Yes, I know, it's been a bit. Not yet over a month though. That's been my longest, so far. And no, I'm not going to try and post once a day throughout the rest of February to make up for the gap. I learned my lesson last time. "So where have you been?" I hear you ask. (I've got good hearing.) And if you haven't asked that question, feel free to now. The answer is, I've been around. Still in one piece. Still seeing (and totally in love with) my other half. (Say "Hi" to the nice readers, my other half.) Just haven't been in a big 'posting' mood lately, I guess. But I do have a few different topics coming up in the near future, just none tonight. Tonight is just one of the "Yes, I *am* still among the living and breathing" variety of posts. So, future topics to include the joy of minor addictions to vanilla flavored soft drinks, the thrill of books on tape/cd, and the fun of combat using miniature plastic figures to represent giant robots. There's also a new quote of the day, in case you hadn't noticed, plus I've updated RUM. Go check that out. I'm not feeling a lot of love over there. More people need to read and comment. Go go go. And new sayings under "Today's Horoscope." Hit refresh a couple of times, let me know what you see. And to my Chinese readers out there (not that I necessarily think I have any, but just to be safe anyways) Happy (Belated) Year of the Monkey! Lastly, on a completely irrelevant final note, since I've been listening to the book on cd The Salmon of Doubt (written by Douglas Adams, published posthumously) while I'm driving in the car, I find myself mentally using a British accent while I'm typing/re-reading this. I highly recommend it. The book, not the accent. Especially if you're a Douglas Adams fan. Do you know where your towel is? |
