Damn'd exciting
news at work. We worked a proposal last summer/fall/winter/thisspring that at times had over almost 200 people assigned and WE WON! Valued at over $10B - with a Big B.

Apparently my typos make up my mind for me.
I was trying to type "I think it best to move along."
Yeah, so never mind my post.
I wasn't supposed to right write it.
(WTF? Dude, that was unintentional too... what's happening.)
You can thank the forces that control the universe for that one.
If you could do anything you want tomorrow, what would it be?

I have two answers for this question.
First, if I'm dealing with plain ol' reality, I'd hop on the fastest airplane available and head on over to Tokyo. I've always wanted to see Japan. From there I would make the journey to Mt. Midoriyama, where I would compete on the infamous television show "Sasuke" aka "Ninja Warrior". Most likely I'll won't get past the 3rd or 4th obstacle. But I won't fret my loss to much as I'll have a few Geisha Girls around to comfort me.
Now, if I could bend Time, Space, and Reality to make my own reality, I would get on a Rocket Ship full of Suicide Girls and head straight for the red planet Mars. Upon our arrival of this far off planet, the SG ladies and I would team up and do battle with the "Devil Girl from Mars".

The Future Mr. Scotch & myself have been trying to find a good wedding song for our first dance as husband and wife. Well, that's a simplification. He said he has no opinion, but vetoed my choice, which was Little Red Corvette by Prince. Now, I haven't been to many weddings, but the ones I have attended have featured a LAME first dance song. I want something that's funky, soulful, and romantic. Any and all suggestions will be considered. We have 35 days left and I'm getting really antsy to pick one. Keep in mind, the first dance will take place at an outdoor luau here:
Alternately, if you agree with me that Little Red Corvette is an AWESOME first song, please post that sentiment here and perhaps my man friend can be convinced.
Shamefully, I didn't even think of capturing this for the Failblog on one of my many trips driving past it.
hello friends. i am on an epic quest of indiana jones/he-man/tenacious d proportions.
as a kid who grew up in florida, i often enjoyed when my dad stopped at gas stations because that meant i got Nehi soda. what is this weird beverage, you ask? oh, it's fucking heaven. that's what it is. it came in sooo many flavors - peach, strawberry, orange, grape, blueberry, chocolate, wild red, cream, etc. etc.
but the two best flavors were strawberry and blue cream. yes, i said BLUE CREAM.
i found one site that sells a 24 pack of the above 20 oz. bottles in any combination of flavors you want, but you can only choose from peach, grape, and blue cream.
so, i'm on a mission: i need blue cream and strawberry nehi. any tips or info on where i might procure such an amazing thing?
been super busy again today. lots to do. the printer on the GPS computer is being stubborn, and although it makes like it's printing, nothing comes out on the paper. really fucked up a project i needed to finish.
but why am i pissed? oh yeah, because corina is a stupid fucking bitch. that's why. i'm so sick of her attitude. she cusses at the sales guys, and everyone's just like, "oh, well that's the relationship she has with them, and they don't complain"...oh, and that just makes it okay? to cuss your superior out? the person that puts money in your shitty little pocket? whatever. she has a shitty attitude, and i'm sick of it. i'm sick of her getting away with it. i'm not here to make friends, but i believe that there is a certain level of civility required in an office environment.
we often get telemarketing or sales calls, and you can usually tell when it's one of either because they'll say the person's name really wrong, or they'll ask for "the person that handles blah blah blah". well, yesterday, i posted about how this guy was trying to sell me printer cartridges and i couldn't get him to shut up. the reason i got that call? it's corina's week to answer the phone. it's her job to screen calls. when someone calls and they say they're with whatever company, and it doesn't sound like someone that usually calls (and these bitches have been here for years, so there's no excuse, especially if i've only been here a few months, and i already know the usual people that call), i always ask "what is this in reference to?" or something to that effect, because then they're sort of forced to tell you that they're selling you shit that you don't want.
well, corina doesn't do this. if someone calls for me or anyone who is not one of our bosses, she'll just call us up and say that "so and so" from "such and such" is on the phone. and then we get shitty sales calls.
so yesterday? i got that sales call from that guy that wouldn't shut up. today? the SAME company calls me again. she calls my phone, tells me the company that's on the phone, and i tell her, "i have no idea who that is" -- meaning, if i don't know who it is, you need to find out what they're calling for, and if it's a sales call, you need to pretend to take a message or hang up on them or whatever you do to get rid of these jerks.
her response to me saying i had no idea who the person and company was? "well i guess you'll just have to find out then. answer line 3." and she just hung up before i could say anything. she was really fucking rude about it. i'm sick of her being able to talk to people that way. i'm sick of her not doing her job.
i GUARANTEE you that if she were to do that to barbara, jim, jeff, or bob, she'd have her fucking ass HANDED to her.
fuck that fucking cunt. i swear to god. she's on my shit list. period. end of story.
i need a drink. like, right now.
