supplies!

Man, am I tired. I haven't gotten a good night's sleep in the past few days, and its starting to hit me. I wish I could take a nap. Anyways, I came in this morning and was going to go into the break room when I saw a sign on the door saying "meeting inside" and the window was blocked up. I was all "WTF?!" because I wanted to drop my lunch off. So I headed to the office and was going to temporarily put it in the mini-fridge, when one of the co-workers handed me a manila folder. Perplexed, I opened it, and it was a card I needed to sign. Then it hit me! Oh yeah, we're having a little surprise party for two of the people who work here who are getting married! Then I realized, that's why the kitchen was blocked off and that I had totally forgotten to bring something. Owel, I did donate the $10 for their gift certificate.

Anyways, we usually have a staff meeting at 830. They brought the future groom down under the guise of having to make a presentation on the changes on one of our systems. He was fooled, because he even had notes printed up. And people were chit-chatting with the bride, "What's up with that weird meeting they're having in the break room?!" So when it was time for the meeting, boss lady was all "Let's try something different this time, will have our meeting in the kitchen". So the bride went, "wait, isn't there a meeting in there right now?!" Boss lady was all "We'll join them then!" With the couple reasonably perplexed, we all headed to the break room and "Surprise!" It was cool, because they had food out, which is a bigger breakfast than the pop tart I brought. And you know me, I never turn down free food.

Anyways, surprise parties are always amusing. I remember back in 1994, when psyched_out and the guys threw that surprise party for me on my birthday. I totally didn't expect it. But I digress. Getting back to the party, even though I turn 26 at the end of the year, I still feel young compared to everyone else. I'm betting some of these people are only a couple years older than me. But I still see them all as "adults" and myself as just entering my twenties when in reality I'm already halfway through them. Woah, that thought is shocking. I don't seem like someone in their mid-twenties, I don't look it, and a lot of people around here prolly do think I'm around twenty. So in addition to my youthful good looks, it must be some sort of immature vibe I give off.

It was also weird to see the groom tease the big boss (not boss lady) about her age. I mean, I'm always cracking jokes to Todd about him being old (even though he's only in his mid thirties), like "Wow, it must have really blown your mind when they came out with color TV." And the groom is around his age, and here is calling someone else old! And yes, I realize 30-40 is not really old. But I like to joke like it is. And I'm almost there. Oh my.

Cool, TNN has been showing Three's Company reruns at 1130, which is
during my lunch break. Today was that episode where there was a
misunderstanding, and hilarity ensued afterwards. Oh, and Mr. Roper
cracked some gay jokes at Jack.

I know, I know, Geebs, don't be fatuous!

I feel like I've been stabbed in the head. Actually, I'm sure actually being stabbed in the head would feel a lot worse, but I do have a bad headache. I just hope its nada tumor. I should picked up some tylenol at the store after lunch.

like, what's your major?

I should just start lying when total strangers come up to me and ask me what my major was. Because when I mention chemical engineering they start asking what does "chemical X" do? I don't know! They don't make you memorize everything, you usually learn about specific/less common ones when you start working with them. Having never worked in industry, my knowledge is limited to the widely known stuff like nitroglycerin and table salt! And if they don't play the "tell me everything about this chemical" game, then they ask if you know how to make drugs or bombs. No and no!
