Today my cussing at work reached an unprecedented high: there were several instances of me replying "No shit" to an interviewer telling me that they were not getting numbers. Eleven hours, all told. I sat at the big desk, the better to keep an eye on my phone goons.
The job didn't close.
Things I never thought I'd have to ask my phone goons: "You do know that there's popcorn in your hair, right?" It looked like the Mustachioed Slacker decided to relieve some of his boredom by decorating iPod Guy. iPod Guy had not known this. He was on a survey at the time. I have a great new draft of a cartoon of this one.
The chiller was chilling away merrily when I got home. Thank goodness.
Darkside and I had a nice long conversation. Nothing of great import, just warm words and giggling. I like those conversations. Then I called
amberfox and we chatted. She pointed out that popcorn on the guy's head was nothing compared to the very left-over leftovers.
Thalia still not back. I miss hanging out with the spr0t crew.
As a reward to myself for not completely fucking losing it today, I went and worked out for a half-hour. Then I indulged in the guilty pleasure of continuing for the five-minute cooldown, and then went another half-hour and cooldown. Last night I painted my nails. I can't justify staying up later to re-do them, but I can have a nice happy shower.

La, la. Books and best friends.
Dec. 18th, 2005 01:41 amTalked with Darkside for 45 minutes. Indeed, work/geeking seems to be the best topics of conversation. He keeps me at least a little in the industry; I help keep him sane.
A Wind from the South is now on my warm little hard drive. I bought a second copy, so the copy in
amberfox's Gmail is entirely legal & 100% piracy-free!
Darkside is concerned about me being sick. I guess he's not used to dealing with me this sick on a regular basis. I'm not, anymore. I've gone from 80% miserable to only 20% at the moment, and I intend to get back in bed and spend the rest of the night asleep and dreaming the strange but productive and repetitive dreams about packaging up sinus drainage and getting it out of my way. I can feel that it's not a serious illness, that all I need to do is rest and let my body take care of itself. Meanwhile, dishes aren't getting done...
... just plain exhausted. I wonder if I will be able to make it in to work this morning later on.

(Couldn't sleep. Lungs have decided that breathing is optional, but goo is necessary. So I'm sitting upright until the antihistamines kick in, which should be soon, with any luck.)
After Cute Geek Super cracked into Comic Pirate Super's hotmail account, he started pestering other people for their e-mail addresses so he could crack into different services. He pestered me for mine. I was willing to give out my Hotmail screen name, but not my Yahoo one. And I was adamant on the subject, even though I know that he wouldn't have done more than just go in and announce, "Ta-Da! I'm in!" to the whole group.
Really, it would have been less personal if he'd been pestering to see me naked.
Cute Geek Super really isn't used to someone remaining adamant on anything when he turns on the charm. He's got a decent Mind Whammy on him. I was impressed, but didn't tell him that. Somehow the esoteric does not tend to turn up as a topic of general discussion in the bullpen, though my religion is fair game. (Somehow, even with all the random ethnic and other background diversity going around, I'm still the odd one out, because all the rest look to be part of the Mainstream US TV Culture. Also, I keep the esoteric fairly firmly out of discussions of my religion, though I have indicated that my particular way of doing things has about the same success rate as your standard mainstream prayer. That is to say, you generally have to be looking for it, and some people would say 100%, and some people would say, not at all.)
I indicated to Cute Geek Super that my geek friend who'd refused to help him out may well have been at the computer in the 24 hours following the night partying with co-workers, and had likely checked her e-mail, but whether she'd logged on to "the message board" was something completely different. (Am NOT indicating to him that it's LJ, or even a blog. He'd pry, and that might not be good.) He pouted extensively, but wanted to know if that meant others would be willing to help. I laughed.
I pointed out to Cute Geek Super that honestly, he was more of a cracker than I was. Given that it's a very non-geek workplace, that caused much hooting and hollering. Ordinarily, that's not something that your standard-issue Anglo girl says to your standard-issue Hispanic guy. It was the straight line that led to a hierarchy of crackers being brought up -- first Cute Geek Super, then Rev. Nice Super (Black), then Clone Name Super (Asian), and finally Comic Pirate Super (Anglo).
Rev. Nice Super's contribution to the entire day was the line, "I'm going to take your mother out for a seafood dinner -- and never call her again!" This was applied liberally throughout the day to every imaginable situation and setup. Naturally, when Cute Geek Super said that if my geek chick friend in Texas wasn't into the idea of going out for dinner with him, then she could go with Rev. Nice Super, Rev. Nice Super's commentary on that involved never calling
amberfox again.
Ahh, work. How we love thee. How utterly psychotic thou art.

Hey,
amberfox, Cute Geek Super is now attempting to be a man-ho in exchange for craxx0r favors.
My lungs are mad at me for laughing so hard.
He wants to be sure that y'all know that this (the request for craxx0r help, the bribery) is all meant in good fun.
