the office

even though time goes by slowly at times at work, i still love my job. there are so many reasons why...but one of the reasons is because every single professor at my job is hilarious. Being linguists and studiers of the English language they always say the best things. the following are some of my favorite quotes of the things overheard at work.

1. "I was passing by her office and I read the note wrong about D's car dying. I thought it said that D had died! I felt so upset! And I wondered why anyone would announce something that serious on just a little post-it note!" - Dr. B

2. "Do you know what that student called about? He wanted to know what language in the whole world was the easiest to learn. i told him Afrikaans." - Dr. E

3. "I rejoice in your genesis." - Dr. H

4. "Understand, these are fake committees. These are quantum committees." Dr. M to Dr. E

5. "I'm going to inflate these numbers because our program is growing." -P

6. "Australian and intelligence don't usually go together." - Dr. E^2

7. "You're either dressed up for a funeral or your own execution." - Dr. S


sigh. professors are so silly.

trying to pass the time....

things i do to try and pass the time when work is long and excel is making my eyes go wack-o....

1. check my google reader. obsessively. come on people. blog more. please???

2. organize my drawer and throw away old pens.

3. look at my progress report and admire the fact that I only have 15.5 credits left until graduation

4. visit my coworker/roommate S next door.

5. play in photoshop. not always on work releated things...i deem it research so i know the program better.

6. daydream

7. doze off.

8. look at the clock again and see how much time has passed.

9. clean out my inbox - put labels on things, archive or delete, etc.

10. complain to swing kid that my day isn't going by fast enough and will he please speed time up for my sake?

11. eat chocolate covered cinnamon bears

12. write a note to coworker K that works in the mornings letting her know what went on in the afternoon....not much i'm afraid.

13. look at blackboard and try to decide if i should do any of my homework.

14. sing a long to the music playing on my computer...very, very, quietly.

15. do a paint-by-number puzzle. i love these. i really do.

then i sigh, close all windows except for the excel file and resign myself to wack-o eyes for the rest of the work day. :P

moving....

not me, my family. my dad got a job in Virginia. I've known about this possibility since July...but now it's real. Off they go. 2000+ miles away. After 4 years of college with my family 20ish miles away, this will be a huge change for all of us. Crazy eh?

Marvelous, simply marvelous

Have you ever had one of those Monday mornings where you feel absolutely marvelous and you just know that this week is going to be absolutely awesome?! Well my dear readers, that day is today!

I have made mention in the past how much I love Mondays. Today is just another testament to how much I love Mondays. I woke up to my lovely alarm knowing that today was going to be awesome. I showered, got read, and was out the door to get to my class on time. I even had time to have pancakes for breakfast!!! :-D

Class this morning was interesting and I feel really good about my Finance class. I like it. :) The rest of today's agenda includes studying for my midterm that I have this week, working on finance problems, going to work, enjoying my evening and reveling in the fact that the term is almost over!!

This week is going to fly by, I can just feel it. Hope all y'all's Mondays treat you just as well!

First Friday in August!

I can't believe that it is already August. How time flies when one is having fun and man-alive, I am having FUN!!!

Since it's Friday...enjoy this lovely fill-in!

1. If I could travel back in time, I'd go to the the time of Gone with the Wind, you know Southern Belles in pretty dresses, balls, handsome men courting you. Sigh That would be awesome.

2. Give me chocolate or give me death. (Or something like that....)

3. I am listening to a CD mix of music that I want to choreograph too, hoping for inspiration.

4. Somewhere, someone is thinking about me. Because it's all about me, baby.

5. I'll always be a daughter, a sister, a friend, a teacher and someday a mom.

6. My idea of a good time includes laughter, good company and a kiss good night.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to swing dancing!, tomorrow my plans include the stake service activity, shopping with my roommate, studying and swing dancing and Sunday, I want to take a walk in the summer night air!
