With nothing to absorb the shock, the ride is pretty rough on the broken asphalt roads near my office. Or maybe I'm just getting soft. I haven't found a good route yet to get from the train to the office. I'll have to explore some more this evening.
The security guard at the front door kinda gave me a hard time about taking the bike in the building, asking "Do you have permission from management?" But then she just told me to take it up the service elevator so it wasn't really a problem.
I think LOLspeak is infecting my language skills. Today I actually typed (in an IM):
I can get access to Siebel DEV?
When of course, I meant “Can I”.
Get all office buildings to turn up their AC thermostats 5°. Employees will be happier, companies will save money, and CO2 production will be reduced. The world will be a better place.
My first day riding the train to work from the new house and the trains break down! We were stuck in the City Place tunnel for at least half an hour. Every few minutes, the conductor would make an announcement: “Sorry for the inconvenience. We’ll be moving shortly.” After saying that a couple of times you might as well give up because you’re loosing all credibility. Eventually we make it to Pearl St. but have to take a bus and/or walk (in the rain) to get to the other side of downtown. I finally got to work about two hours late.
I ate a banana on the way to the train but I seriously need a snack. Get some tea, grab some quarters and head for the vending machine. Hmm, no animal crackers or peanut butter toast crackers. Maybe some mini-muffins would be good but I’m 5 cents short. Back to my desk to grab a nickel and try again. But the bloody machine won’t take my f’n nickel! Walk across the office again to get some more change and cram it all into the machine. As I’m leaving the break-room, muffins in hand, some guy asks “how’s it goin’?”. I just nod and walk away.
I'd like to inaugurate this blog with a very serious topic.
In the office building where I currently work, I eat lunch almost every day in the cafeteria, downstairs. I don't really like bringing my lunch and there aren't any other options within easy walking distance. A few weeks ago, they stopped selling Cheetos. Ha, the last straw. I must quit my job!
I don't usually eat Cheetos that often (I actually prefer Barbara's). They were mostly a sort of occasional indulgence (particularly in the glorious combination known as Munchies). But with the convenient availability a bag of Cheetos ended up on my lunch tray a couple of times a week.
This week, the Cheetos came back. I guess I can keep working here a little while longer.
