Hello chickadeeeeees!

I have had two cups of coffee and now I'm having chicken fingers for breakfast. Hush, [livejournal.com profile] moireach, sometimes we have to do what have to do.



Last night was a horror and a half. Even though the temps outside dipped into the lower sixties, my house would NOT cool off. I was up at 2 am unable to sleep from the heat.

So I logged on World of Warcraft. Died with my druid and thought 'i should do something i don't have to focus on' and decided to play a newbie - my little lvl 8 warlock *beams at her*. And I played until 6 am, when the house FINALLY cooled off enough. And then I went and lay down for about 30 minutes and things flickered before my eyelids and all I could think about was how I don't know how many more days of this I could take! I might need to see about taking a half day tomorrow or something and getting somebody in before Friday. Particularly cause mombo has decided she's NOT coming down Thursday night now, she's gonna come down Friday instead which means she won't get here til afternoon anyway!

In kitten news - I got his meds. The pharmacy makes it on the premises and are specialize in customized prescriptions based on weight and size, etc. And making it in forms that the animals will eat. So it's this liquid made from tuna juice and it makes me think of tuna fish sandwiches and the kitten LOVED it and I've never had an easier time feeding a pet their meds. He has to have a dose every night for a month - and I think he'll be crushed when it's finished. My favorite part is the warning label: May cause nausea, stomach ache or headache. I wanna know how they know it might give him a headache! I keep asking him how his head feels but so far he's not indicated a problem.

They called about my car last night, as well! Apparently she hit me so hard the floor buckled. *sobs* It is gonna take a lot lot lot of work to fix it. I'm supposed to go over and sign a release form for them to take the rear-end off so they can investigate further. Meep.

My back is twitchy but I don't actually think it's a result of the accident, just it being twitchy.

NOW! JUST so you don't think that my LJ is going to turn into all whine, all the time (as opposed to all wine, which would be a plus - speaking of which Mombo IS making arrangements to bring up lots and lots of wine, weee!), we present you with exciting LuthorCorp news!!



First of all, we're going to decorate the back hallway. I'm a member of the committee (even though I told them I have no artistic abilities at all, but if they draw outlines, i can color them in!). We're doing a catacomb of clowns aka creepy carnivale fun! We're going to get plastic masks and paint scary clown faces on them and get cotton-wool cotton candy to wrap things with and paint the hallway like a big top of DEATH. It's very exciting. ALso wrong because I hate hate hate clowns. But the 'sunken pirate ship' was going to be too much work. Although, as swmboss and swmboss 2.0 said, anything we don't use for the back hallway & break room will be kept in mind for the Great Halloween Decorations of 05.

Second of all, Coworker R came back from her vacation today! Well, came back in the loosest sense, she was in this morning but now has the rest of the week off. Coworker R went to New York City for the extended holiday weekend and naturally they went out to eat.

As they approach the restaurant, there's a guy outside shouting "Superman's inside, Superman's inside". Coworker R and her husband just ignore it, thinking 'crazy homeless guy'.

Then they walk in, are seated and discover that their table is...right next to Tom Welling's.

Apparently crazy homeless guy was only SORTA crazy! Coworker R said she made eye contact briefly and then couldn't take it and had to look away. But that he looks exactly like he does on TV and is absolutely gorgeous. This prompted about a ten minute discussion of Tom Welling at work. *beams* And Coworker N is going to bring in a poster to hang up of him.

Tom W. was with some guy who wanted to be his new agent. And they were eating cheesecake and the wanna-be-agent guy kept raving about how delicious the cheesecake was. And the lady next to Coworker R turned to Tom and said "Is it really that good?" and he smiled and said "It really, really is". And was just as nice as can be. Nobody came up to bother him, although a lot of people were taking pictures from a distance.

So that made all of our day here, because awww. Plus our own Lex is going to be so jealous when he hears about it!! The Chief Operating Officer of my company has huge Smallville posters all over his office wall and collects superman memorabilia. It's actually disconcerting to go to his office for a review or a meeting and have huge posters of Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum staring down at you. But in a good way.


Anyway, that's the news from the swm-front!

I love you, swmbo. :) :) :)

Also, OMG FLOOR BUCKLING?!?!?! *whimper* It reminds me of my very first car accident, when I was hit outside my school by a guy making a three-point turn without LOOKING and he knocked my engine off its block. My first car, totalled within two weeks of me getting it. *sobs* I still weep for my poor, lost Saturn. I learned how to drive STICK on that thing!!!

*caresses newer, more souped-up Saturn lovingly* Shhhh, baby, no one will ever hurt you, I promise ...

I love you, too!!!

Aww, *cuddles you and your Saturn*

That's scary and would traumatize me sooo much! I realized last night driving home from getting the kitten meds how traumatized I am. That was the first time since the accident I had to drive in any actual traffic and I kept seeing everybody doing REALLY stupid things - including a guy behind me who did NOT slow down as I slowed down becasue the car in front of me was turning, just zipped into the other lane. And I was like !!!!!!!

*shudder*

TIme heals all wounds, however!

LOL! Good point.

The fact your COO has Smallville posters plastered all over his office? Explains so much about your company OMG.

There are MULTIPLE reasons why I call it LuthorCorp.

Also - I am not kidding - he shaves his head completely bald. And he has blue eyes. And a superman obsession. IT IS FREAKY!

God, I KNOW! I am just like '... - MY CAR!'.

But the kitten is soo cute, my god. And he got all grumpy that I was awake last night instead of in bed where he can torment me. AND he likes to sleep stretched out against my spine and PURR and it's like a little massage and so brilliant!

Hahahaha, I started reading in the middle of a paragraph and thought some crazy homeless guy looks just like Tom Welling.

And dude, yesterday some crazy homeless guy had the audacity to ask me for change WHILE SIPPING HIS FRESH EXTRA LARGE DUNKIN' DONUTS COFFEE COOLATTA. omg whatEVER.

Hush, [info]moireach, sometimes we have to do what have to do.

I suppose that's all right JUST THIS ONCE since you've inspired me to have yummy yummy chicken fingers sometime in the vaguely near future. with HONEY.

Dude, the secret is to START at the BEGINNING and then read until the END, then STOP!

*beams at you*

omg, if you have dunkin donuts coffee you are not poor! I wish I had some right now!

Heee. *beams at you* *tempts you to do her bidding*

I had yummy chicken fingers for lunch yesterday. *remembers them fondly*

I am sorry you could not sleep, but at least there was WoW goodness. Speaking of, I am having Everquest II DREAMS! I am killing adult haze kodiak bears in my sleep, Swm! And also, lots other weird stuff that defies explanation. We should not ponder my unconscious mind for long, it's too dangerous.

Tom Welling! *swoon* He's just so...big.

hahhahhahahhaa! Once you have dreams, you're doomed. I used to dream EQ and now I will sometimes dream WoW

I had *such* a blast with my warlock - they're sorta a combo of mage and necro, with just a splash of wizard. If EQ2 uses the same classe as EQ1. And she's lvl 11 now, weee!

God, I KNOW! And so very, very pretty.

Ugh ... buckled floor, sounds like the entire frame is damaged. You might just want to see if they can declare it junked. Even after a repair, cars with frame damage are never quite right. *comfort*

Every time I make tunafish sandwiches anymore, or other tuna goodness I always drain the water into a bowel for Phoebe. Also starting to eat salmon fish sandwiches since my cat likes salmon flavored water more then tuna. I'll go ahead and post another series of kitty pictures later, I already have a story theme for them.

Also I had coffee trama this morning. My sleep schedule has become split, and I sleep in 4 hour shifts, for a total of 8 hours in a 24 hour period. Which makes me cranky and really in need of coffee. I got up to do something and took my mug (a cup is never enough) with me. When I returned to my computer, I went to drink more coffee and ugh it wasn't at my desk. Not only that I couldn't remember where I put it. I searched for ten minutes and when I found it, I discovered that I had already emptied it. *cry* Need more coffee.

Ugh hate clowns too. That and disney type mascots. *shiver*

If they total it, I'm screwed - this close to having driven it off the lot, I'll be lucky if it pays off what is owed the finance company, much less get back a downpayment and what i've paid.

OMG.
Number 1. TOM WELLING. I'm melting all the way down here just THINKING of how pretty he is. *sigh*
Number 2. The floor BUCKLED? Are you SURE you are okay? That's one hell of a hit. And, um, with structural damage, are you SURE they aren't going to just total it? New car...
Number 3. Tuna meds!! Can your Pharmacist make me chocolate meds? Tequila shooter antibiotics? Hee!
 
posted by [identity profile] swmbo.livejournal.com at 03:47pm on 06/07/2005
1. God, I KNOW! We hear that and we're expected to THINK today? Man, to be in Coworker R's shoes...

2. Yes. *sigh* I'm actually not happy about it at all, it's kind of a lose-lose situation. The car WAS new, after all - it had only 5500 miles on it. But of course now I'm looking at a car that might not be safe to drive OR basically being screwed financially. I'm going to find out when I go there today more.

3. they totally will make things like chocolate meds for kids and stuff, hee! But probably not tequila :p

YOUR FLOOR BUCKLED?!? Are you sure it's not responsible for your current back issues, 'cause dude, YOUR FLOOR BUCKLED.

I really hate clowns and find them unbelievably creepy, so the idea of your hallway decorated in a bunch of them... *cringe*

OMG, WELLING!!! I hear he is the biggest sweetheart, actually kind of shy, and I just adore that he's so nice. *has a big fangirl moment* Also, I want large Rosenbaum and Welling posters on my wall at work...
 
posted by [identity profile] swmbo.livejournal.com at 03:51pm on 06/07/2005
I know!!! But the back feels the same twitchy way it has over the last six months, nothing different. So it might have aggravated it but it's nothing new. But I am really, really feeling on the thin edge of sanity right now.

YES! He was apparently completely down to earth and so very nice. *melts all over again*

Dude, Tom Welling staring down at me all day would freak me RIGHT OUT.

Okay, so when I start looking for a job (shush!), I think that offices with huge posters of Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum on the walls will be high on my list of requirements.

I am refraining from comment about the chicken fingers. Ugh. Oh, darn.

See? You should come work for LuthorCorp!! We'll keep the electroshock therapy to a minimum!!

MEEP!! Car!!! *holds you close*

And we need MORE PICTURES of Swmkitty!! MORE!! Oooh!! Get pictures of Swmkitten with Nephbo!! *prepares to die of total cuteness*

And look!! I'm actually commenting in your journal EARLY today!! *beams*
 
posted by [identity profile] swmbo.livejournal.com at 04:41pm on 06/07/2005
Hee, no that is too much cuteness for the camera. SOME THINGS CAN NOT BE BORN!

Also, I am not letting nephbo touch swmkit while swmkit has ringworm. Infants are very likely to get it!

HEE! Tom Welling!

Your hallway decorating scheme is SCARY. Is your work motto "Can't sleep; clowns will eat me"?

I feel your tired!swm pain. Come over here and we can curl up in a hobbit pile and take a group nap. Who's with me?
 
posted by [identity profile] swmbo.livejournal.com at 04:41pm on 06/07/2005
YES! NO sleeping on the job! THE CLOWNS ARE OUT THERE!

*leans against you* I am with you! group nap right NOW!

kitty!! all these kitty posts make me curse the pet-free-ness of my apartment.

also, floor buckling? ack, that must have been some crazy hard hit. *wraps you in cotton and bubble wrap for future protection*

and re WoW, my friend d was telling me all about his WoW adventures last night and in a fit of trying to demonstrate that i know things i was all 'but can you turn into a cheetah? i have a friend who can turn into a cheetah' and he explained that he wasn't playing as a druid so no he could not, but he seemed very excited that you could.
 
posted by [identity profile] swmbo.livejournal.com at 05:34pm on 06/07/2005
Yeah, it was NOT GOOD. It is making me scowl at the universe. WIsh me luck when I actually talk to the repair people in person today!

Heee!! Turning into a cheetah is SO COOL! *beams* What does he play? You should share! And aww, you are very good - it's gotta be murder listening to stories of adventures when you only half know what's going on.

HI SWMBO. <3

We got out of class super-early so I came home and took a NAP and it was AWESOME. And now I am going to make lunch and then settle in to work this afternoon, yay!

Also, WINE DETAILS PLS. (Mostly, I want a bottle count!)
 
posted by [identity profile] swmbo.livejournal.com at 05:36pm on 06/07/2005
Oh man I am so jealous, I need sleeps and also AC and also good news about my car.

Hee. I will give a bottle count. I am a little worried she will bring less than usual, because things have been hectic and she has not been able to build up the collection slowly. And I MUST HAVE MUCH WINE!

Even though I still have quite a few bottles left from her last visit :p

OMG WHY DO I HAVE NO WINE ICONS?!

Sadly, she did *not*!

I, too, was amazed that they make special flavors of medicines for animals. We once had a bunny that needed medicine, and his was berry-flavored!

The floor of your car buckled? Eeep! I'm so, so, so glad you're okay.

I want berry flavored medicine!!

I will pass on the tuna, however. But MAN, the swmkit LOVED it.
