Three Hundred Nineteenth Entry

It's been a long time. Not a record, but still a long time.

I've just finished reading everyones blogs. Sounds like everyone is chugging along in life. Sounds about right.

I had a weird dream about work last night. I haven't dreamt about work since the last time I was really busy at work. I woke up about half an hour ago, and don't remember the particulars. But I do remember thinking this: A lot of people think of their workplaces as something that could be made into a movie, perhaps a TV show if the story lines are a-plenty. My work wouldn't be either. It would be a porno. It would probably win several porn Oscars. "Oh no! The copiers broken! - Don't worry, I've got something that'll fix you right up." Bom chicka wah wah!! "Oh no! Half the company is gone having a 4 hour lunch(Bom chicka wah wah)! - Don't worry baby, I've got something that'll help you pass the time." Bom chicka wah wah! I could go on, but unfortunately the star of this porno is somewhat of an ugly beast and I don't want to think about her.

Major Event Since Last Blog #1: Lisa and Greg got married! I was the minister. ULC baby. It was a beautiful day. I was nervous, but I made it. It was really nice out there. Baker Beach is a beautiful location. I'd never been! In my own back yard too. Everyone who's anyone was there. Robin Williams was watching. Sharon Stone, in spirit. The banquet later that night was really cool too. I'd never been to a Chinese wedding banquet. Very delish. The M&M favors were awesome. Miraculously, I haven't killed my bamboo. It's suffering a little, but I'll keep it well watered until I can make a pot for it in my pottery class next semester. Congratulations to both!!! Next is babies!!!!!

Lisa and Greg: I just finished writing your wedding card(s). I shall send them today. Jen: I have your birthday present, 2 months too late. I bought it last X-mas and found it last weekend. Are you still working in Fremont? Or moved yet?

MESLB #2: 4th of July! I spent the 4th and 5th of July in Tulare exploding fireworks. It was a lot of fun. It always is. The food was awesome. It was my first time trying boiled red potatoes, with a wedge cut out filled with Portuguese Hot Sauce. I shall call it boiled red potatoes with Portuguese hot sauce. Very delicious. Maybe I'll try to make some today. Probably not. On the 5th of July we all went to watch Transformers. Hella good! A wonderful movie. (food break, corn flakes with banana. simple goodness. I'm back) Awesome movie. I got to see Hernani too since he lives in Fresno now. There's a rumor that he cleans his fridge out with a garden hose. Interesting.

Did anyone hear the rumor that Giada De Laurentiis used to be a porn star? I wonder if there is any truth to the rumor. She would be one of the pretty porn stars. Maybe some lesbian action but mostly guy on girl action. She might say, "The cream sauce is especially delightful." Bom chicka wah wah!

MESLB #3: Lots of work drama. There always is no matter where you work. A couple of weeks ago I found out that half of my company is rewarded quarterly with very generous bonuses as well as a X-mas bonus. My half of the company just gets the annual X-mas bonus. Needless to say, working the last couple of weeks has been tough. Every hour of work becomes a chore when you know that you are one of the hardest working people at the office and rewarded with just a barely average wage while over 50% of the company are not working half as hard and making more than you yearly. I should be looking at it like there are so few companies that offer quarterly bonuses, but it still isn't fair. I haven't talked with my boss about it. None of the managers are exactly trustworthy I've found out. But that's a whole other discussion.

I was pretty sick last weekend. Fever, headache and dizziness. No nausea or loss of appetite though. Very weird. Amy took good care of me. Jello, soup. Mmmm... I think there are still some popsicles in the fridge. I should go check that out.
