Three truly mundane and pointless things

  1. My boss is taking me to lunch today. Which would be great except he’s scheduled it for 1 hr between meetings, he’ll be late and have to leave early to get to a meeting on time. This will leave us about 1/2hr to order and eat. Oh well it’s still a free lunch.

  2. They are knocking down a building in our street, the lights in our office keep flickering on and off (thank-god for the UPS on my computer) and occasionally the floor bounces.

  3. I missed the bus this morning and then I missed the train, thankfully I didn’t miss the tram and was only 15 minutes late to work.

  1. I have a stuffed Pokemon toy on my car’s dashboard. It has a nifty secret inside which I have showed to maybe ten people. They all loved it. I want to show it to folks at work, but I have a rule that someone needs to mention it first.

  2. Particleboard furniture is the bane of my existance. The flimsy crap never lasts, in fact tends to crumble at the slightest hint of moisture. I have a theory that Wal-Mart became the #1 provider of such vile stuff in a bizarre bid to take over the world and enslave humanity in the cork mines of Pago Pago. It kinda makes sense, here, I drew up some charts…

  3. I named one of my dogs after the Hawai’ian god of mischief.

  4. I have amazingly accurate counting skills.

The Dun King

  1. I’m all out of deodorant.

  2. Old Spice makes my allergies act up, but Degree doesn’t.

  3. “31337” is a valid SKU at the store I work in, and it’s for Suave deodorant.

  1. I got some school clothes today

  2. The air conditioning works again in my house.

  3. I have to get my school clothes out of the washing machine.

  1. These jeans have a grass stain.

  2. I’ve slept with my contacts in too many nights in a row and my eyes feel dry.

  3. I’ve listenned to Barracuda at least 20 times in the past 48 hours.

  1. I’m listening to the Alan Cross radio show on the ongoing history of new rock. Tonight’s show is Part 2 of a two-part show on Joe Strummer and the Clash. I like their music a lot… I even have the three-CD compilation box set.

  2. My MSN is being a bitch… it won’t sign me in. As far as I know, there are no problems with the serice. Maybe I’ll restart the computer after I submit thsi post.

  3. I’m going to my friend Shannon’s tomorrow… she’s housebound without her wheelchair, and someone’s gotta be there to provide company for the poor girl. (her parents aren’t home, and someone IS there to look after her) It’ll build up my patience levels, all right. (good practice for when a certain friend of mine comes to town, if he ever does!)

  1. I went to a tanning bed today for the first time all year and stayed in too long; now I have red and white stripes all over my body. If my boyfriend was home he’d laugh his head off.

  2. I am currently listening to a Fuel mp3.

  3. I am craving a peanut buster parfait from DQ but alas they’re closed.:frowning:

That should be “here” not home, we don’t live together.

I don’t know much about contacts but I thought you were meant to take them out each night? (I’m thinking about getting them though instead of me glasses).

Cool stuff happened to me today.

My boss took me out to lunch and then gave me a huge bunch of flowers because it’s my birthday on Saturday.

When he got back to the office after his meeting he gave me a packet of lollies and a can of coke.

How cool is he!!

I’ve only been back at work full time since Monday and have just found out I have to take another two months leave starting next Monday because I’m having surgery. Even knowing all this my boss still spoilt me rotten today!

Yeah, you’re supposed to take them out every night…but you can get away with sleeping in them a few nights without a hitch, although you really shouldn’t (it’s more likely to irritate your eyes, and more likely for dirt to accumulate and make you rub the contact out). But what can I say, I’m lazy. :smiley: They’re definitely coming out tonight though. Four days is usually my limit…though I have a friend who’s gone for several weeks…I don’t know how she does it.

  1. I worked 70.

  2. I win!!!

  3. Am I disqualified because that’s my regular schedule?

[li]I’m afraid that this morning I put on too much of the aftershave balm my wife bought me and I smell like my brother, who bathes in the stuff. [/li][li]I’m going to see Metallica in a couple of weeks and to Switzerland to see Ireland play their final Euro 2004 qualifier in a couple of months. I’m not sure which I’m looking forward to more.[/li][li]I’ve just realised that my baby daughter (14 months) is even more of a spacer than I had originally believed. Her latest trick is giggling insanely while walking like John Wayne.[/li][/ol]

OK, I have to ask a question here (and hope someone will answer, because I’m really curious!) - why would someone get an admittedly painful procedure done to themselves in the name of art when they can’t even ever get to enjoy (see) it themselves???

If I ever get a tattoo it’s definitely going where I can look at it too! :confused:

  1. There’s a fruitfly in the office.

  2. I’m embarrassed because I think it came in on my banana.

  3. The bug spray didn’t help get rid of it.

  1. I just farted and I hope the fan will get rid of the stink before anyone notices

  2. I forgot my lunch today

  3. there’s someone learning to drive (badly) in our car park

That’s always been my biggest problem. I would love to get one on the back of my shoulder, but then I can’t look at it!! The three others I have are all in a place where I can enjoy them.

Oh, and I need to say pointless stuff! thinks

  1. There is nothing to do in my office today.

  2. I got my hair cut last night. WHY can’t I get it to look the way the hairdresser did? She didn’t do anything fancy, and I looked fabulous. And today, I thought I did the same thing, and I look exactly like I always do.

  3. Thanks for reminding me that I forgot my deodorant today, too! :rolleyes:

Well, you know… through the wonderful technology of mirrors, you can see a tattoo wherever it may be. :smiley: I felt the same way that you do before I got my first tattoo, which is in a place where I can see it. (Never you mind where.)

One could ask why anyone would have a body mod procedure done at all, regardless of location. I wouldn’t have permanent art etched on my body unless it had deep personal spiritual meaning for me. I expect that I’ll determine the art’s location on my body in a similar manner. The reason I like the idea of the back of the neck is that it can be hidden or displayed as you choose. For instance, hidden during the workday by my hair, but exposed for ritual by putting my hair up. I’m also intrigued by the idea of a tattoo at the very top of my forehead near the hairline.

  1. Bedrest sucks, but modified bedrest sucks less than the “only get up to pee” variety which I’ve been threatened with. I get to have food delivered to me in bed in either case, though, so that’s one plus.

  2. UnbornBabytlw has pointy knees and elbows, one of which is creating a funky bulge right next to my navel right this moment.

  3. I am not wearing deodorant nor have I brushed my teeth today. (I’m in bed in my jammies at 1 in the afternoon! Whoo!) Despite this, my husband still wishes to converse with me. It’s twue wuv. :smiley:

Oh gee, they don’t have those where I live - joke!

OK, thanks for responding! And I can understand the “now you see it/now you don’t” part, for sure.
