Jobs, jobs, everywhere there's jobs...

So, I work on contract as a computer geek. The place that I work for has a rule - no contracts can go longer than 2 years. Seems they may have gotten burnt by a lawsuit a while ago forcing them to reimburse for benefits etc. so that's where the rule comes from.

Anyway, you *can* evidently work longer, but your boss has to get special permission. I waited and waited and waited... nothing. No word about a new contract, no word if it was up. But, there was no one traing to do my job. So that was good. But no word from the boss. That was bad. And to make matters worse, I had to take 3 days off for reasons that still piss me off to talk about.

Upshot of the deal, after a month of pins and needles and a few days of outright anxiety as to whether or not I had a job... I have a job.

Thank god. The mortgage people don't like it when you don't give them money every month. And I really didn't feel like sleeping a lot from lack of food.

So, in celebration, I went out today and spent $130 on groceries. It makes me happy when the fridge and cupboards are full.

Oh, and Jodie (the girl who won't date me) and I are staying in this weekend to make and eat lasagne, drink beer and maybe go to a movie...

Life is pretty good at the moment.

Glasses of Justice

Anyone ever watch Law and Order: SVU? Back when Alexandra Cabot and not Lurch-the-legally-impaired was the DA?

You know those black glasses that Alex wore when she was working in her office? Or in court? I was always of the opinion that those glasses looked incredibly hot. Alright, that's not enough - they were HAWT!!

So anyway, my friend Jodie? You remember, the girl-who-won't-date-me, she needed to get glasses to make her working on the computer a little less eye-straining. And she picked - - you guessed it - Glasses of Justice.

And, I gotta say, she looks damn HAWT! A couple times the first day that she had 'em I had to physically restrain myself from jumping her. (Ok, not really, but it was a close thing.)

I made her let me take a picture (she absolutely hates having her picture taken) but she eventually gave in. I'm very persuasive *grin*.

Quotes, bitchy quotes

I frequently go to a certain message board where they can post the most hilarious, bitchy quotes ever. There's a whole thread devoted to your favourite quotes. And here's a sample *grin*:

********
"people who practice the homosexual lifestyle (that's what it is, because no one is born gay) have not experienced the horrors of slavery, or outright discrimination!"

Experienced the horrors of slavery? Like she is writing this on her powerbook in the middle of a cotton field?

If your ass wiggles uncontrollably when you brush your teeth, you need to lose some weight.

I've raised my neuroses since they were bad habits and we get along just fine.

My grandmother used to say "Autumntime." But she also said stuff like "That makes my butt want to take a drink of water!" when she got mad. Perhaps it's something crazy people say.

********

So...should a disaster strike and you're walking around in a daze afterwards - if you see a blonde woman dressed in latex with a freakish gas mask pushed back on her head like sunglasses, slugging vodka in the company of two pissed off cats, please feel free to stop and say hello!

********

Will my speedo fit over my Depends?

********

Old telephone directories make ideal personal address books. Simply cross out the names and address of people you don't know.

********

That's how I always feel, like the Baroness in The Sound of Music. While everybody's just singing and climbing an Alp. And I just wanna STUFF THAT GUITAR UP THAT NUN'S ASS!"

You know, there's a difference between being a "racist" and a "dumbshit."

George Bush is the Ashlee Simpson of politics.

********

Gayer than a pink parrot on the patio of Merv Griffin's Palm Springs pleasure palace.

If you're one of those people who believes that the Christian creation myth is 'fact', please just put a big "Dunce cap" on your head, so we can know to avoid you. Thanks.

There's a guy at my gym who wears camouflage shorts and a matching camouflage tank top every day. Some day I'd like to bump into him and exclaim, "Oh my God, I didn't even see you!"

You Are 60% Boyish and 40% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch. Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes. You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them. You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

Yeah... ok... I can see that...
