"You can't imagine what that sunset looks like to me..."
"That's a bird on fire!"
"Tomato, to-MAH-to."
As I was walking towards the bus to head to work yesterday, my mouth dried out. Like I'd stuffed a wad of cotton in there. This unusual sensation lasted for two bus rides and my SkyTrain trip. Upon getting about fifty meters away from the station, my mouth was back to normal. Weird, right?
The same thing happened on the ride back. My mind, she doth play tricks upon me!
The moat around the front entrance to my site flooded last night. Possibly due to the God's wrath rain we had. And here I thought I'd finished with mopping up after floods once and for all. :P Fortunately, I managed to find the drain controls in the pump room and then just pushed all the errant water back into the moat. Whee.
Had a woman request a security officer meet her at the front entrance of the building and escort her to her office, citing personal safety as the reason. I asked her about it once she was safely ensconced in her chair, and she said that the guy who worked opposite her in their cubicle farm doesn't work at the company anymore, but that he'd been giving her the silent treatment for the two weeks before that, and making "menacing faces". Weird. She wants this escort for a week now. Fortunately, I'm well trained in the appropriate technique to be employed here:
"I'm holding the door open for you, RUN!"
"Okay, now you're inside the building and he can't get you. Where's my gratuity?"
See? :)
Oh, and did I mention I'd be getting a raise in December? Ain't gonna happen. I just got the calendar for the courses being run in November and December (shouldn't the November calendar begin given out in, say... October? Anyway...) and one of the ones I need for that raise isn't being offered during that time. Bah.

Thanks Matt, nice to know that someone finds my tired brain backfirings amusing in a vanilla sort of way. ;)
And forgive the comment above I deleted - it was the same as this one only from "Anonymous" by accident. :P
Jillyvn, you dork. *You* go to school! And remember that there are books that aren't on "the list" that are much better than the dreck that's ON "the list". :P
And I have anonymous comments turned on, there was no need for you to create a blog account you'll never use just to call me a slacker. :P
