today the glitterbomber is... |
2003-05-07 sniff. sniff. hack. i am the human phlegm wad. actually, i�m feeling much better despite the, um, productive nature of my coughs. i have a lot more energy, and i�m feeling a lot less spacy. (acting it is another matter entirely.) i�m glad because i was getting really tired of laying on the couch watching inane daytime tv. i guess i looked pretty unhealthy yesterday at work because my boss sent me home. it was after a data meeting, and anyone would look unhealthy after one of those things. i half-heartedly protested, but i went home anyway. i guess i really did need the rest. my boy� was also home sick (i can�t keep my germs to myself), so i talked to him on the phone a couple times off and on. i must crow a bit about my long distance service. the one i previously had was way expensive, almost a dollar a minute to canada, so we rarely got to talk on the phone. about a month and a half ago, i signed up for verizon�s new unlimited long distance plan, and it makes my life so much happier. now the boy� and i get to talk all the time, and i don�t have to worry about peak times and all of that. we can talk when we want for as long as we want. i�m as pleased as punch. the phone company, on the other hand, just may kick me off because of all the minutes i use. *evil laugh* oh and speaking of the phone, a certain department store has been calling me at least once a day for a few weeks now. when they first started calling, i thought it might be related to the credit card i have for them, even though there should not have been a problem. one afternoon, i called the 800 number that was left on my machine and sat through an annoying recording that told me my balance, credit limit, payment due date, etc. just as i thought, there were no problems there, so when i got a real person on the line, i explained the situation, and she transferred me to the credit department. here is, roughly, the conversation i had with the woman there: amy b and i trekked down to the greek food festival for lunch today. the food was okay; i�ve had much better, though the desserts were yum. it turned out to be a who�s who down there. we ran into elizabeth and her friend brooke, and i saw a guy i went to college with, which was kind of weird. it turns out he�s working across the street at my old grad school. we used to hang out with the same group of friends, though i never knew him all that well. apparently, there are a lot of alumni from my college who are living in pittsburgh. i got back to work after lunch to find a man under my desk, attempting to connect my phone. it took him just about an hour, but after all this time in my new cube, i finally have a phone. this is a joyous occasion. *** quote of the day: *** np: candyflip "redhills road" |
