Month: January 2002

The party was a HUGE success. The kids all had a BLAST, but I think the adults had even more fun. My sister can’t stop talking about how great it was. THAT, my friends, is a good kid’s party.

And our friend Kim gave Michael an Undersea Encounter fish tank, and a gift card to the pet store. So now we own a fish named “Mike”. He’s a Betta, so he’s alone in there. He does like to attack is own reflection, which makes him pretty amusing to watch.

I didn’t think I wanted any pets, but so far, this fish is really interesting. I’m actually glad to have him around! Maybe I can do a takeoff on Elmo’s World and I’ll be Elmo and Mike can be Dorothy, even though Mike is not a goldfish.

Gotta go pick up the Batman cake for the bowling party today. My son can claim he’s a big boy at 4, but today he was putting on his pants and he hadn’t put on any underwear.

Or maybe he did it on purpose.

I’m feeling better. I mean, not great. I loved that job. I loved my boss, I loved my coworkers, I loved what I was doing. I am just so ANGRY that I can’t go back there on Monday. Not angry in a shoot-em-up way, but angry in a “you stupid idiots didn’t put any effort into our department, and you probably don’t even care that I’m gone” kind of way.

I can’t even ever imagine finding something as perfect as that was. A 15 minute commute, flexible schedule, and the best boss ever. I mean, I guess it really was too good to be true.

Well, if any of you were thinking of calling me at work to ask me how my day is going, I wouldn’t.

9 other people and I don’t work there any more.

Anybody need a to hire a tech writer?

I find it interesting that the official color of the universe is pale green. Because green makes sense – we used to say the moon was made of green cheese, right? But not the shade of green they’ve picked. Oh well, if it’s that color, it’s that color. I assume VW is going to make it a shade for next year’s Bugs.
