So I had a good halloween! If you'd like to check out all the pics I took (except for the ones from work that I still need to add) go here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/justdave00010/sets/72157622590733107/

Monday: "Cheddar cheese is the apocalypse." - My doctor

Tuesday: "Sometimes they just shit their asses out." - My coworker

Boooooo columbus day!


(Yes, I don't get today off even though most of my building does...argh!) Boooo technicalities!

*tap tap*.... Is this thing on?....

I have way too much to accomplish in the near future. I'm hoping to knock a bit of it out this weekend.

-Get car washed (cheap)
-Catsit
-Find a cheap used wedding dress that would fit a 45 inch waist but zero bust.
-Find a cheap pair of shoes to go with said wedding dress... in women's size 14....
-Find a wig that looks like my co-workers hair.
-Decide on a halloween costume for non-work
-Decide if I'm having a halloween party and get an evite going.

There's more, but I think that's the stuff I'll try to work on this weekend. Any ideas on where's for any of it?

I was also debating doing the "Step Out Diabetes" walk for the American Diabetes Association, but it's on the 16th, so I really don't feel that's enough time to do fundraising for it justice. I'll have to mark it on the calendar for next year so I can plan ahead. Maybe I can get a diabetic bears team together. :P

Feedback? Ideas? Comments? Lascivious offers?

Hi all,

A pair of undergarments has been found in the aisle of the first floor. Please be kind and come to retrieve them from the back of the front desk.



Thank you.

I want your input.

Today is my first full day taking Byetta. It was a step I was trying to avoid for a long time because it's given as an injection, but I finally broke down and decided I needed to try.

Anyone else on this? Thoughts? Musings? Experiences?

I've read all the literature and done some research on the web. I'm currently in that semi-hypochondriatic state where I'm wondering if everything from my headache to the birds crapping on my car are a side-effect of the new drug. (Okay, I may be exaggerating SLIGHTLY.) I think I may be a little nauseous from it, but all the literature said that isn't uncommon and should diminish if you keep taking it. Jabbing myself with a needle daily was SO not on my list of things to start doing, but I have to admin it isn't the worst thing I've ever had to do.

Okay, this may have been kind of a pointless post, but oh well. At least it's a post.

"Thank you kindly for bringing this to my attention. I will chase this issue first thing tomorrow and endeavour to have a response to you shortly.

Kind Regards"

It's the nicest fuck off e-mail I've ever received!

So dinner last night with most of the immediate familia and godboy went well. (And by godboy, I mean my brother who is a catholic priest and has just returned to the U.S. from several years studying in Rome for his doctorate in theology (which some might consider an oxymoron).) All went well and fine and ended with cake.

Tonight I pack up and head down to the homestead in watsonville for the rest of the week/weekend. We're having almost all the local family over for dinner Saturday, so I'm sure a large chunk of my time will be taken up with indentured servitude. I still don't know where we're going to fit 23 people in my mom's house. Oh well, we've managed before.

Hey look, I made a real post and everything! Go me! :P
