catching up more: feb 13-15? mon-wed at work!
So let's see what else happened during the week...
I don't remember anything about Monday, so it can't have been that exciting. I think I stayed late at work and we even played some Tichu, but it sucked because Joris and Cody paired up before I could sit with Cody, and then Jason and I had the most unrealistically stupidly unlucky cards EVER, plus I actually kinda wanted to get work done instead of goofing off (I know, right?) as we'd been charged with sending out a Stig update to the company and I was in the crossfire of trying to write it up to please as many people as possible.
Tuesday was Valentine's Day, but it wasn't really anything special. I dunno, I came home with the intention of watching Glee and Jeopardy, and mostly accomplished that, though I was a bit distracted on the Jeopardy due to chatting with people online. Shrug. Glee was pretty awesome though, I definitely am going with my theory of "the more Mike Chang appears, the better the episode" and the corollary that if he sings it's even doubled.
Oh, the other thing Valentine's at work was that it was massage day, which I have been trying for the last 2 times (we have them every 3 weeks here, a chair massage place comes in with 7 people and 7 chairs and we set up a room downstairs for it). This was better than the other one was (I didn't find myself repeatedly flinching in pain), but I'm still not sure I'm into the whole thing. I guess maybe if you always go to the same person then they can figure out what hurts and what doesn't.
Oh yeah, I forget what day it was last week, but there's this ongoing joke about me having interns as my minions, right? Like that I joke about ordering them around to do random things (but those things are always like, "eat half of these cookies for me" or "play ping pong with me" or whatever)? One day we were at lunch and Greg accidentally drank out of my can of soda, and I'm like "OMG THAT'S MY COKE" and another intern, Lucas, immediately jumps up like "I'll get you another one!" and runs to the fridge. Hehe.
Also sometime last week either Tuesday or Wednesday we moved Mike Park into the Stig quad. This involved my desk getting downgraded from a full-size into an intern-size desk... which isn't that big a deal except that I have no space for my paper rack anymore (it's still here, but behind my monitors so stuff isn't readily-accessible). So now mpark is in the corner, I'm still front and center for talking to people who come by, and at least he never has to steal my chair or desk anymore because his desk is here now. So there. The only thing that sucked was coming in and having to rewire everything (which happens every time they move me... because I have a secret extra linux computer and two monitors)
Oh yeah, and the ping pong thing... I was watching Davis and Kevin play one afternoon. Davis is left-handed but holds the racket in the "pen hold" style or whatever you call it, right? But Kevin holds it normally and plays entirely back-hand from the right hand, so he kind of looks like a mirror version of me. I played Davis and barely lost 2 games to 1 with the final game being like 12-10, so the next day I played Kevin but we didn't keep score and just ping ponged back and forth for a while talking about stuff. It's good though, they said I'm decent, so maybe I'll get to play more ping pong this semester after all.
We had D&D last Wednesday... our group of four have become known as the "ax-batters" due to Chris's tendency to beat the crap out of shop clerks while wielding his leather-bound axe (aka the ax-bat). We did have an actual series of fights occur this time, involving us going into a bell tower and assaulting the wererats that had taken it over, and it would have been great if not for Chris being a sillyhead and getting bitten by one of them. Oops. Still, I guess it was fun.
(to be continued!)
