Daily Update

I woke up to a lovely European Morning. Drizzling rain, a cold gentle breeze, fallen leaves scattered everywhere, muted colors of every shade of gray, and toast for breakfast. I had done the usual routine by waking up early, ignoring my alarm, then sleeping till 10 after 9. Work is busy, Christmas songs are heard everywhere. It sounds so peculiar.

Last night Cheryl and I went to see the new Will Smith movie. It was kind of scary, and weird, yet somehow interesting. After that I took CS to Jack in the Box for dinner. I only realized after that it probably wasn't a great idea. I already found out that she didn't like Costco hot dogs the hard way, and now Jack in the box. I'm still learning... kind of.

So the craziest thing happened at work. Collins was asking about Steve's computer monitor. I asked him why he would want to switch monitors. Then I suggested that Steve doesn't use the computer that much anyway, but Collins looked at me plainly and said, " he wont' be using it anymore, at all". I was confused for a second, and asked him to clarify. He responded by stating that i don't check my [work] email very often. Even more confused, I checked my email, and found a memo from the bosses announcing that his services are 'no longer needed in helping us out'. Oh well, One less desk mate. No more Irish swearing, or stories of how he 'once wrote a Screenplay'. One thing's for sure, there will be a lot less swearing in the office.

Attention guys: mistletoe is on the move! In the past weekend's activities, both at a birthday party, and a Gingerbread house extravaganza, there were at least 12 mistletoe fungi's seen planted on ceiling fixtures and such. Both of these 'Suggestive' moves were done at Girls apartments. So be careful guys. and Girls, We know what you're up to. You and your devilish tricks!

Another peculiar thing in our office. We opened the third vat of popcorn this morning. And it too has been evaporating like crazy. Not to mention the 'desert type bread basket' that was dropped off for us. Mmmm, I love the holiday gift giving season.

I'm listening to the 'Last Battle' in the Chronicles of Narnia. The first 5-6 chapters were the worst things I've ever read. I actually stopped out of anger. I sat in turmoil for the next 30 minutes before I broke down and jumped into the wikipedia article that explained what was going on. after a quick read, I decided to continue in good faith. It steered a little more to a decent path, but never fully recovered. ... I just finished it and yup, the ending was truly worse than that of the third lord of the rings movie.

Lunch was sponsored by Taco Hell today. I went there cause I couldn't think of where else to go, and nothing else seemed to appease me.
