Note to Cable Guy
Mood:  d'oh
Now Playing: PFR--Goldie's Last Day
I had to take half a personal day to be around for the cable guy to show up. Not knowing when he might surprise me, I took special precautions. When I needed to hop in the shower, I left a note on the door that read as follows:



In retrospect, I'm not sure if this was a good idea or not, but Dave and I have really bonded.

Wrong Office
Mood:  accident prone
I recently started a new job. I'm a creature of habit, so it take a little getting-used-to for me. Anyway, instead of coming into the NEW office this morning, I accidentally went to my OLD office and accidentally peed in all of their napkin dispensers.

Who would have thought that BLOGGING was so easy? For year's we've been doing it the old fashioned way with html, a rock and cornish game hens. I think you'll see greater regularlity from us TDJ folks--speaking of which, I'm headed to the lavatory right now...

Inserting pictures with Tripod's blogger is as easy as this...

Office Wigs
Now Playing: Solitaire
All the guys in the office recently decided that in order to foster greater unity, we should wear the same wigs. However, a fist fight broke out because the sales guys demanded we wear Revolutionary War era wigs and those of us in Marketing are insisting on something from the Raquel Welch Collection.

Bar Exam

Typos to Scientific Theorems
Mood:  chatty
Now Playing: Somebody Loves You -- Phil Keaggy
During a recent instant messaging conversation I was having with a friend the other day, a strange typo occured--at least, we thougth it was a typo. Instead of typing the word, "hiding," Brian typed, "hin=ding." I'm no mathemetician, but curiousity got the best of me and I ran some tests. As it turns out, "hin" does, indeed, equal "ding." Who would have known?

Life is so much better that way. And now...enjoy!
