So I just friended about 50 people on facebook, if not more. I've been meaning to get around to that, and I know I still missed tons of other people I know. So if I missed you or something, just let me know.

Otherwise, stories from work...

On Tuesday Phil convinced our supervisor that Mary was pregnant. It was just a joke, but she decided to get him back. So this girl who ordered pizza agreed to help out. She pretended to watch him out of the corner of her eye, and boy did she play it up. Then she walked up to him and said something like, "I think I know you. What's your name?" etc., etc., what year are you, whathaveyou. Anyway, the idea was to get him to hit on her, b/c he doesn't have a girlfriend and seems kind of like he would. (He was too freaked out, I think, lol.) Then "OMG! I know! From the gay bar!" And he was just TOO weirded out. Mary and I were DYING. He still doesn't know she did it. In a few weeks she's getting one of her gay guy friends to wait outside work for him, kind of watch him walk past, and say "Are you just gonna walk past me like that?!" etc., and pretend to have been blown off after a really good date or whathaveyou. Heh.

So Wednesday, speaking of coworker tricks... I sat down at the computer at MTI and next to the program I'm working on, there was a folder that said "DO NOT OPEN THIS FOLDER !!!!" I was like "It's either IMPORTANT, or a trick. So I'm not going to open it." Then Art (my boss...ish) came in to check on how I was doing and give me some new spreadsheets to work on, and said "Oh, did you see what the guys did to you?" HA, so it WAS a trick. He opened it, and it was self-executing picture that, once you opened it, set itself as the desktop. It was a picture of Hoa (a guy that works there) making a dumb face. So once Art left, I set the desktop back to standard, and yay for all that.


In other (sad) news, I lost the 5 cent mini (I mean like 1/2 inch) pink w/ black spots plastic lizard that I got in Moab, UT. I kept it in my wallet... and it's either hiding in some fold or I lost it. Wah. It was cute.

AAAAAANYWAY... more pirates posts coming soon. I am insane.

Does anybody else watch the Late Late Show? I'm watching it right now, and it's brought up a couple of funny things.

1) Someone get me updated on the Tour de France. I totally haven't been paying attention this year.

2) Kim Jong Il would SOOOOOO get the shit beat out of him if we just sent Sean Connery after him.

3) DUDE. DAVY JONES' ACCENT = LOVE. HAHAHAHAHA. And yes, I am such the geek. I think I already even posted on this, lol.


Craig Ferguson is so awesome. =^n.n^=

So, just because the Pirates movie used the spelling "Kraken," and fans seem to be following suit, I decided to wiki the spelling "Kraaken," which I could have sworn was correct. Nothing on wiki, so I googled it. Guess what? I only came up with thousands of sites is Norwegian or Swedish or whatever it was. And it came up spelled as "K-r-a with a degree sign thingy over it-k-e-n." So, I'm teh winnarz.


And you know what? Every time I hear that stupid song about irony by Alanis Morisette, I can't help but thinking that her high school and college English teachers must want to kill themselves. That, and I just want to punch her.
