You may notice it is dark in this pic. Well, the electricity is all dead at work. I was in the middle of writing up what I did to a bunch of projects when it died. I feel bad for the guy next to me who was in the middle of programming.
It' scary to watch a lot of electrical things die at once. I wonder if my computer will be affected? Is this how the end of the world will begin.
From the sound of people talking, a bunch of people lost stuff. My question is, do we get to go home with no electricity?
It was funny to see how many people were concerned the elevators not working when there are stairs.
For some reason everyone else has left their cubicles for the hall. Maybe because they don't have internet access like I do.
Word is the water is off as well. The bathrooms are solid dark with no windows so everyone is chatting about the drama of what it like to use the bathroom in the dark with no water.
Luckily, it was noted, we have a hand sanitizer despener of the wall.
Then we had a technology free meeting with pen and paper. Fieldtrip time.
In the end I got to go home to work. Ironically, I hate being home an dworking. I would rather be anywhere else that is less distracting. Not to mention I have to walk back tonight because I have no way of reachign (e:trry) to tell him no to pick me up.

remember baby jessicaCategory: pets
Remember baby jessica that fell down the well back in 1987 (WIKIPEDIA - Jessica McClure). I will add a link when I get back to my comp. Anyhow, at around 4am (e:matthew)'s squirrel pulled the same trick. They pretty much have the run of the house at night. I heard her playing by the stairwell. When I went after her I couldn't find her. I spent about an hour searching with my squirrel riding around on my shoulder. This was weird because they never hide. As soon as they see us or hear us they jump on us, that's why I let them run around.
Turns out she fell one floor down the tube tat is the central shaft of the stairwell. Luckily, we had a 50 ft ethernet cable to the rescue.
I ate at wendy's with my coworkers today. I felt like crap afterwards and couldn't get over how much trash it made. I really need to start bringing my lunch.
I extended my gym membership for a year today.

Of the fast food places I think burger king tastes the best. But Wendy's has the best dollar menu and some great items that the others don't like baked Potatoes and Frosties.

Coldstone CremeryCategory: food
Today we headed over to the fish store to buy new stuff for (e:matthew)'s tank and to the sprint store to finaly fix (e:terry)'s phone after a month of it not working. While we were driving we saw that they have a coldstone cremery here now on Deleware near Kenmore Ave (MAP TO: 2655%20DELAWARE%20AVE). I used to go there all the time when I lived in flasgtaff. I have a feeling they are from Arizona because they were all over there.
The ice cream is so good but it's always too much even when I order the freaking small. Apparently, they do a dance and song thing when you tip them. I tried to recor dit on my phoen but I missed it. We tried retipping but apparently they only do one singing per visit. I would hate working at a store like that. When I was younger I worked at a local icecream store called parfait that was near Niagara Falls Blvd and Sheridan. It is now a cingular store.
It was kind of expensive. Three of us had icecream for $15.74.
I worked on the site outside while (e:terry) was at the sprint store.

Day in the life of a uebergeekCategory: geektalk
Went with (e:kara) over to artvoice to meet with Jamie Moses and (e:zobar) about some upcomming collaborations and stuff. It was fun geek talking it up with (e:zobar) as usual. It reminds me of talking with (e:jesse) but with much more clarity - and that's a good thing.
I am so borrowing his idea about putting content on an ipod to take it with you idea. Soon you will be able to download your entire journal and put it on your ipod. I think that would be a fun way to read it for some people. Of course, sans imagery. Maybe with the nano?

washington marketCategory: food
Today (e:enknot) and I headed over to wahington market We talked the nerdy talk and ate the delicious food. I had another chicken tuscan procuito, artichoke heart extravaganza.
The prices are so good in the butcher shop, you could get a new york strip steak for less than $4.oo.
Afterward I walked out and tried to open a jaguar. It looked the same as (e:enknot)'s car to me.
I want to rule a top level domain with a silicon fist.
I fixed all that surebert to be new and fantastic. Time to get drunk.
It was light out when I got out of work at 8PM, check the timestamp.

I always draw strict lines between work and home, because I will never take work home and I never bring home to work. I had a chef that wanted me to prepare par levels and inventory sheets when i was off the clock on my own time. needless to say it never got down and I was layed off like a month later.
i had the lights go out on me in a public toilet once. no windows, door closed...it was pitch black. that is a little weird.
