Last night I was sooo anti-social and tired and quiet and just Meh. Happy-by-myself might be a better term. So I spent a relaxing evening on my couch reading and then went to bed extraordinarily early.

And woke up to doom and gloom and darkness outside, with rain lashing down. But in a peaceful, half-light sort of way. So I think I like it.

And then, hee, after my shower this morning I kept going "something smells really good...oh. That's ME!". *snicker*

I hope everybody has a gorgeous October! I have absolutely nothing of consequence to say today. Except that grr, I got NO mail yesterday. I suspect my postman of conducting an experiment. Or just slacking. Because I always get something, even if it's junk. And the last time it happened, the mailman hadn't actually SHOWN UP...which we knew because *cough* he didn't *facepalm*. I'm not sure if that's actually 'of consequence' but I feel better when I grumble :p

And here I am expecting (loosely) my babylon 5 dvds yesterday or today! It'll be today. Cause, as I said, it was raining. So there will probably be a soggy package on my front step when I get home.

I can deal with that. As long as there is a package!

*HUGS YOU ALL*

have good days and keep yourselves out of trouble - or only get into the fun kind!

I've meetings and maybe later I'll be a social person. Hmm. I hope so, anyway!

Gah!

Gmail is being flakey, which makes me SO growly. It keeps timing out. And all I want is, well, ok, all I want is for it to work. But in particular, I wanted to check something in an email that I already had READ, which is even more annoying to not be able to access than new stuff.

I just got out of my Friday morning meeting and it began with swmboss 2.0's response to my "Happy October" of "We should all start wearing costumes everyday, for the whole month!". Also, the COO has said that, while we are possibly moving before the end of October to the new building, not to count on it and therefore to do our Halloween decorations in our current offices. Which is good cause as I mentioned, the 'new' office space doesn't NEED decorations to be considered horror!

And the meeting ended with swmboss saying "I don't think anybody in the office feels like working today - I've been walking around and it's all been kinda 'eh'. I'm not advocating everybody slacking today, I'm just saying..." Hee! Tacit permission to slack off. It is good. In part because I just finished a whole thing so just dabbling in starting something new sounds like a good plan for preparing for the weekend!

So, I leave you with the last installment of the Mombo letters. In this entry there are a lot of things in brackets. That's cause mom really does have insane handwriting. And a lot of times I can figure out what the word is by context (that whole jumble thing!) but it's still hard - for example, the word also LOOKS like alru. And I'm also relatively used to her handwriting, too. But when it comes to names of places, I have no way to tell an e from a u, so, um, yeah. It's hard!! *sobs*

( Letters from Mombo, part the last )

Stay toasty, kids!

SO, ok, the thing is that remember last week or earlier this week, it was a few days ago anyway, they were painting the doorjams and I was all freaked out and sad because they painted basically EVERY other doorjam but ours?

Well today they're touching up the hallways themselves, not doing the whole walls, just covering over scuff marks and things. But they are NOT putting up Wet Paint signs everywhere! Nor did they actually, you know, inform the office as a whole that it's being done so if you didn't see the little guy with his paint roller you might not know.

And THREE people from my department are now covered in paint from where they brushed against walls. And SWMBO IS NOT ONE OF THEM! Heeeeeeeee!!!

swmboss is like "how are you managing to avoid it?" when I said I'm just doing my best not to fall into walls today. And I'm like "Staying out of the hallways until this battle is over!" There's only 20 minutes left and I think I'll be able to stick in my office until it's time to go! Woot! Although I was at the water cooler and coworker A was all "i see you had an encounter with the paint". Dude, like I'm gonna trust HIM? I was like, uh-uh, no I didn't...and I glanced down at my arms and no, they were safe!

And he claimed that it was all over my back. But I knew better!

And then I'm in my office and swmboss comes by and I do sort of a headbob hello, which apparently freaks her out and she's like, are you choking or something?! And I'm all, no no, it's just an emphatic "hi!" and she sees that my office is practically DESERTED and is like "did coworker J leave? Where did he go?" And I can barely keep myself from laughing when I'm saying "How do I know? I don't keep tabs on everybody!"

And only about half a dozen people find that as hysterically funny as I do. But it's true! I can't keep track of EVERYBODY! And then she's going back to her desk and telling the other office 'swmbo's a little hyper this afternoon' and I'm all "yeah, but I didn't fall in the paint, no matter what coworker A claims!" and tell the watercooler story I jsut told you and swmboss goes "Bitchin', coworker A!"

I get no respect. NONE!

Plus she followed it up with "The day's not over yet!" in regards to my assertion that I have avoided the paint.

It could also be the paint fumes making me high.
