and it's snowing and I can't see more than 2 blocks out the window...

and I think...'well, I am in Winnipeg at the corner of Portage and Main...what else is new?'

....and it keeps on snowing....

a blog wrapped in an excuse....

ok y'all, i know i've ignored you for quite some time now and believe me it was totally unintentional. Its just that...well...i've admitted my addiction to myspace, and i blog there already. and sometimes i'm just not creative enough to post 2 blog on one day (surprize!) so i thought, 'why not just copy that blog over on this site?'. so thats what i'm doing. with a few variations....

so sit back, relax and enjoy myspace blog part 2....

things i've learned at work today


Its 9:30am. I've been at work for 1.5hrs and so far I have learned the following things at work today (while unintentionally eavesdropping on a conversation in the next cube):

1) blah, blah, blah....football...blah, blah, blah...scholarship....blah, blah, blah....i really dont care about football...
2) going to a social outweighs having the stomach flu anytime.
3) even though you're coughing up a lung and a hairball at the same time you can come to work and infect everyone around you.
4) football players will always be football players...if you know what i mean...
5) all girls want to be sluts on halloween....(direct quote) WTF!!!

yes everyone in our office has been infected with the stomach virus (and by everyone i mean 5 out of the 30 and by infected i mean out sick for 24hrs). yeah its going through, but for some reason i rarely get sick. i think it comes from years of living in a daycare (mom had a home daycare while i was growing up) and working in daycare for 4 yrs. seriously. for the first 6 months that i was working in a centre i was sick constantly. every little germ infested munchkin that came in happened to breath in my general direction and i got whatever they had.

in light of the flu whipping through our department like the ebola virus a coworker suggested that us 'healthy' people hermedically seal ourselves in at our desks with saran wrap and packing tape. I say bubble wrap b/c that would be much more fun. You get bored, you pop a bubble. someone wants to get your attention from the outside, instead of a doorbell they pop a bubble. I'm still in the process of unpacking and have found the majority of the bubble wrap in our house so i'm pretty sure i'd have enough to seal myself in...or seal others out, depending on how you look at it.and as far as the 'all girls want to be sluts at halloween'....seriously! i wont deny that i have dressed a little trashy on the occasional halloween, but all girls? thus leading me to my question of the day:

ARE YOU DRESSING UP FOR HALLOWEEN? IF YES, WHAT ARE YOU DRESSING UP AS?

so thats that.....comments?
