Hey. Guess what??

The assoc. went downtown to the fed. courthouse and was befuddled as to why it was closed and then he realized it was Columbus day. Then he called me and said, "Hey, I think we should leave work early b/c it's a fucking holiday and the courts are closed. I have no authority to tell you to knock off early, but it's a holiday! What are we doing at work?"

I agree, Mr. Assoc. I agree.

But I have to wait for the a/c guy to finish up.

:D re: $1 beers

Hahaha. I want that shirt.

Congrats Jenny! Now you can give up that karma-destroying career in viral marketing.

STOP CONGRATULATING HER SHE'S NOT NEAR A COMPUTER AND CAN'T HEAR YOUR CONGRATULATIONS NO MATTER HOW LOUD YOU TYPE.

Jesse, Monday, 8 October 2007 18:42 (sixteen years ago) link

Instead congratulate me on knocking off work early for the first time at my new job.

Jesse, Monday, 8 October 2007 18:42 (sixteen years ago) link

i don't need it written on a shirt when it's written all over my face.

chicago kevin, Monday, 8 October 2007 18:42 (sixteen years ago) link

WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD CATALOGUE THE CONGRATULATIONS AND CONVEY THEM TO HER IN PERSON, THEN

Kevin, while you still have weekdays free you should go to the ZOO.

Eazy, Monday, 8 October 2007 18:47 (sixteen years ago) link

xpost jeez... that's worse than a bad attitude! If you never have a good day and don't believe it possible, seek help. Or kill yourself, because you're making everybody else miserable.

kenan, Monday, 8 October 2007 18:47 (sixteen years ago) link

I had the sentence "I'm the guy who sucks ... plus I got depression" stuck in my head the other day and I was trying to explain the context to Sarah to no avail.

n/a, Monday, 8 October 2007 18:48 (sixteen years ago) link

Oooh! I like that 2nd one!

Jesse, Monday, 8 October 2007 18:49 (sixteen years ago) link

ps that should be a BJ chorus

river wolf, Monday, 8 October 2007 18:50 (sixteen years ago) link

Link, that is.

Jesse, Monday, 8 October 2007 18:50 (sixteen years ago) link

Or kill yourself, because you're making everybody else miserable.

sorry chachi but that made me laugh for the first time in 3 days. why don't you stick to making proclamations about yourself and let everyone else decide for themselves what they're feeling, ok?

chicago kevin, Monday, 8 October 2007 18:50 (sixteen years ago) link

wow... kevin taking me too seriously. (I guess I was being a touch insensitive, sorry man.)

kenan, Monday, 8 October 2007 18:59 (sixteen years ago) link

I was going for joeks there. Really unfunny joeks. Plz don't anybody kill themselves.

kenan, Monday, 8 October 2007 19:07 (sixteen years ago) link

nah, the arbiter has spoken -- I will be driving into the lake at 57th street beach come 5:30 or so, if anyone wants to join me

dan m, Monday, 8 October 2007 19:09 (sixteen years ago) link

Risky Business stylo

Eazy, Monday, 8 October 2007 19:11 (sixteen years ago) link

I have one of those expandi-ball thingies! J got it for me. I keep forgetting to bring it to the office, where it really belongs.

kenan, Monday, 8 October 2007 19:13 (sixteen years ago) link

Did I kill thread?

Good job, Kenan.

kenan, Monday, 8 October 2007 19:28 (sixteen years ago) link

OK. is the following ironic? Maybe?

I could be on my way out of this hot miserable office right now if it weren't for the fact that I have to wait for the a/c guy to get done with what he's doing that may or may not fix it.

Jesse, Monday, 8 October 2007 19:31 (sixteen years ago) link

Don't get depressed, K.

Guess who is getting forwarded mail for "Sara Lee Bakery"??
Yes, the answer is me, because my name is Sara Lee Bakery j@mmerman.

KitCat, Monday, 8 October 2007 19:31 (sixteen years ago) link

Argh, AT&T has to come out to my building to hook up DSL, since I no longer have a landline. They said they'd come any time between 8 and 5 on Thursday. I'm already calling in sick on Wednesday to wait for People's Energy, so I guess I am going to give them the number of my building's maintenance guy?

jaymc, Monday, 8 October 2007 19:32 (sixteen years ago) link

Sarah. Come get your salad spinner.

Jesse, Monday, 8 October 2007 19:32 (sixteen years ago) link

This Dove chocolate piece I just had told me to Be Fearless. Well, the wrapper told me that anyway.

Come Spin me right round baby right round
Like a record baby round round round round

dan m, Monday, 8 October 2007 19:56 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah, but this is BIG TIME

kenan, Monday, 8 October 2007 19:57 (sixteen years ago) link

It's like the Vegas of kicking it

kenan, Monday, 8 October 2007 19:57 (sixteen years ago) link

He's going to be kicking it bigger time, sounds like they're getting the VIP treatment from the Mir@ge.

dan m, Monday, 8 October 2007 19:59 (sixteen years ago) link

Have any of the Deerhoof fans onthread heard Marnie Stern?

dan m, Monday, 8 October 2007 20:00 (sixteen years ago) link

Yes. Didn't Nick put her on one of his quarterly mixes?

KitCat, Monday, 8 October 2007 20:00 (sixteen years ago) link

Or did you mean live?

KitCat, Monday, 8 October 2007 20:01 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh, I don't know if she was on a mix or not, a radio station friend recommended her over the weekend and I like what I've heard, is all.

dan m, Monday, 8 October 2007 20:02 (sixteen years ago) link

I've only heard the song on Nick's mix, it's silly and I like it.

Jordan, Monday, 8 October 2007 20:03 (sixteen years ago) link

i heard marnie stern recently....but like one track, and i think it got the diplo or girltalk treatment. still sounded badass, tho

river wolf, Monday, 8 October 2007 20:03 (sixteen years ago) link

sounds like they're getting the VIP treatment from the Mir@ge

oh man, I'm there. In spirit. What is it about me that loves casinos? I'm not a huge gambler or anything, and I don't feel like the kind of guy who says things like, "I love Vegas," but I do. Hmm.

kenan, Monday, 8 October 2007 20:19 (sixteen years ago) link

I watched Knocked Up this weekend, and the scene where they go see Cirque on mushrooms looked like the most fun any human has ever had.

kenan, Monday, 8 October 2007 20:20 (sixteen years ago) link

Gambling bothers me, but here are some happy memories of Vegas.

KitCat, Monday, 8 October 2007 20:21 (sixteen years ago) link

Kenan, it's probably the liminality of windowless, clockless places where the rules are different from the everyday world - places like casinos, churches, and Clarks on Clark.
