2:46 pm	high button shoes... pal joey I have reached an important conclusion. The internet is fictional. It does not consist of real, actual people across the world. It is simply a very sophisticated machine designed to formulate the worst of all possible opinions and display them in strategic locations, for the purpose of annoying me. Current Mood: seriously, these can't be the Current Music: actual thoughts of real people (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:08 pm	huge success "Presently a budget has not been discussed at this time." aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGG! Why do people write bullshit like this? Seriously, JUST using more words for the sake of more words doesn't make you sound smarter. It makes you look like an idiot who doesn't realize she's repeating herself needlessly. And what's worse is that even if this sentence had been, "Presently a budget has not been discussed," or "A budget has not been discussed at this time," that's still too many fucking words! Look, if you say, "A budget has not been discussed," you're obviously not taling about the past or future, so you don't NEED to spell out when you are talking about! The present tense covers the present! Current Mood: SO WRATHFUL Current Music: music wrath (Comment on this)

12:08 am	I have a couple questions The things I apparently found important enough to save in my desk at some earlier stage of my life include: A receipt for a pizza I ordered in early 2007 A Fruit By The Foot wrapper Infinity floppy disks Rocks My ticket stub to the third Pirates movie (because I just loved it so much...?) A sheet of green felt A picture of a trashcan handdrawn by Jake Warren My UMass Diploma (so that's where that was) A 2003 Calendar that is also a mousepad And of course, a quantity of notebooks Wow, I listed all these items when I was cleaning my shit a few days ago. Evidently I failed to post this entry, and as suck, LJ saved it for me. Had I returned to this list of items of my past in something resembling a timely fashion, I might have made some commentary on it that would have resounded in the mind of the reader, ultimately changing his or her life. But, it's too late for that. Current Mood: sleepy Current Music: sleep (Comment on this)

11:17 am	even if nobody else sings along So earlier today I logged onto www.AskPenguins.com, that website that lets you submit your questions, penguin related and otherwise, directly to a bunch of penguins, and if the penguins choose to answer it they'll feature it on the site. I filled out the form with this question: Dear penguins, Is it true that the minimum number of penguins you need to have to be considered a flock of penguins is three? That seems right to me. 'Cause if you only have two, that's just a pair of penguins. And if you only have one, that's wicked not a flock, except in penguin sneaker commercials that show one penguin refusing to fit in and just doing his own thing and wearing cool penguin sneakers and then at the end of the ad the screen displays the slogan, "Be your own flock!" and the cool sneakers penguin gives the thumbs-up to the camera, despite not having any thumbs. Love, Mark Shamber Fhamber So hopefully they'll select my question this month. If/when they do I'll post the reply here as well.

10:18 pm	tell me is something eluding you sunshine is this not what you expected to see i've said this before but only out loud, but i think i'm gonna resolve to do at least one social thing a day. wait, no "think," i either resolve or i don't. so i do. i do resolve this. so i will. and the best thing is, originally when i conceived this idea like three months ago, i was planning on having this post, this one announcing this plan, BE the social thing i do that day. but i don't have to! because right before i posted it, i replied to a message that someone sent me :) ..like a week ago. i'm bad at being a person.

6:06 pm	subject: I really shouldn't ever go grocery shopping on Friday afternoons after weeks as busy as this one. Instead of shopping I always just sort of end up wandering up and down the aisles without looking for anything or even really being aware that I SHOULD be looking for something. Occasionally my brain has these brief little explosions of consciousness that say, "Woah! I really ought to think about food!" but they never last all that long and then I go back to being a zombie. The happiest moment of my post-work afternoon came when I realized I should look for shredded cheese. There's nothing like having a sudden sense of purpose so soon after feeling nothing. When I reached the checkout line and paid for my cheeses I thought to clerk told me, "Have a wonderful happiness!" I'd gotten halfway to my car before I realized he'd actually said, "Have a wonderful afternoon." My disappointment, as usual, was inscrutable. It followed me all the way home. Current Mood: disappointed Current Music: i actually used one of the default moods! (Comment on this)

2:41 pm	ooh how blubberous oh hello there do you know if there's any place i can buy like a tan-through t-shirt? like, clothing made out of fabric that is penitrable by the harmful rays of the sun? there's really nothing less attractive than a farmer's tan. *** i have a new pet There are no implementation partners. ** well, that certainly made no sense. i meant to state that i have a new pet, and then link to this picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Styracosaurus_dinosaur.png HOWEVER i forgot that, even though earlier on that link was copied to my clipboard, since then it had been replaced with the sentence i accidentally pasted into the body of this lj. so it goes. ** here's a story i hope you'll think is terrific! :) earlier today i made a note to myself to work on the Oracle Gen program. after that i couldn't figure out why i had so many songs from "phantom of the opera" stuck in my head, until i looked back down at the note... you see, i'd abbreviated Oracle Gen as O.G. i think that story's terrific. ** in conclusion, the final point i wanted to make is that if dinosaurs had never died out and had been consistantly present during the physical, cultural, and linguistic development of our human species, we would have very different names for them. it's only because our knowledge of them came after we'd already formed many of our ideas about labeling things that they ended up called what they are. our naming of the dinosaurs became a concious decision, rather than an organic process such as the one that gave us the words for other animals that we grew up alongside. i don't know why i find that interesting, but i do. *** good-bye Current Mood: mood Current Music: music (Comment on this)

4:05 pm	I'm not sure why I think anyone's interested in this With my annual performance review coming up, I need to do a self-evaluation involving answering a number of questions and then provide feedback on how I feel I carried out my responsibilities. Here's what I'm writing for the last part. This past year has perhaps seen the broadest range of tasks and responsibilities that I have had to perform in my history at the company. Primarily of note has been the somewhat recent addition of several daily tasks that I must consistently and vigilantly stay on top of, in addition to a bolstering weekly and bi-weekly schedule of projects. Even before the merging of Boardwalk and MarketOne I was faced with a variety of programs on which I worked in a number of different capacities. In the months since, this has naturally only increased. Accordingly my abilities to prioritize and multi-task have grown proportionally, as I juggle deadlines and timeframes and find myself accountable to an increasing number of Program Managers. Now more than ever I have become more of a proactive agent of the company, anticipating work to come and planning accordingly. My proficiency with Microsoft Access has also improved, allowing me to create and edit my own queries for most of my programs, saving management valuable time. Finally, the work I do with the analysts, though perhaps a smaller part of my job than in years past, has taken on a new scope with the addition of the MarketOne team, individuals with whom I had not worked before. I am often told that I come across as approachable, which is important for me in this capacity, as I try to present myself as a resource for analysts who may be struggling with one or more English language issues.

10:10 am	Shit, I can't post this until I think of something unrelated to use as my subject... maybe a lyric o Oh, hello there. You know, I wonder what I enjoy more... drinking pumpkin spice coffee, or smelling it. Had I already consumed enough of it this morning to set my mind racing I might have both the mental capacity and the unfortunate compulsion to pursue this irrelevant speculation, but after just one cup I'm still clear headed enough to realized that the two cannot exist independently, and that to experience one without the other would likely drive me mad. Also, can anyone remember whether or not I posted the script for "Mankind and the Dinosaurs" here? It might be called "Mankind in the Time of the Dinosaurs," I forget. I could have sworn I did, but the other day when I was looking for it on here I couldn't find it. Current Mood: mankind Current Music: mummy lincoln - oracle conf (Comment on this)
