A: I would prefer to not do color boards of that quantity for the next 6 months.

S: Actually, we don’t believe in the internet.  We find it lowers morale in a sadistically-great way.
S: PS.  I’m sorry you had to do a million color boards.  That is zero fun.
A: Haha!  Yes we are pretty dated here after all. 

What time are you planning on doing lunch?  I’m hungry now all of the sudden.  I don’t like that one of us has to be here now.  I think we all like the 1-2 break.

S: I know right?  It’s super frustrating.  If you’re hungry now I would just go.  I’ll be fine to wait until someone gets back.

A: Are you sure?  Gene usually doesn’t take a full lunch anyway unless he just goes home today.  But it sounds like he’s going to stick it out.

S: Yeah.  My body still can’t figure out that whole hungry/full thing.  So I’ll be fine to wait.

A: Thanks friend :)  I’ll take the next late shift if this happens again!

A: Not true!! It is a valid place for this support CET!

S: Hah!  Sorry… it’s not funny.  But it is at least a little bit ironic.  Also, I love the line confusion all over the image.  It’s like CET is very confused.

PS.  Please enjoy the paranoia “I don't believe it's a bug. I believe HTC Thailand has criminals administering their website.”

A: Yes well perhaps a restart is in order.  This week has been tough on it after all.  I’ll be nice for once and give CET the benefit of the doubt but I’m a realist and know what’s going to happen when I try it again.

What’s the paranoia referring to? 

S: I was looking up this whole Google chrome install interrupted thing.  Some people said it was a bug, and then this character (after telling his life story of course) pipes in with his racial profiling comment.

A: Oh I see. Too funny!  Do you think if we tried dl it on explorer that it would complete?

S: That is definitely a possibility.  I think I’m going to try it.

A: Holy 4:21pm!  Where did the afternoon go?  I like this. 

S: I know right?  Especially considering how slow my last two days were.

A: Seriously?!  I want to punch CET in the face right now.  This is the most fickle, retarded program I have ever worked in! Gah!

S: :( I’m sorry.  That is the worst.

A: Mellow dramatic of me?  I think not.

Okay, okay maybe so.

S: As you’re talking to the queen of “the worst”  and “punch it in the face”…. I think I am probably not going to judge in the mellow-drama department :)

A: I think our type thrive on mellow drama at appropriate times.

S: Agreed.  Although I’m sure my mother would argue that I like it at inappropriate times as well :)

A: Haha I bet.

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnn :( :( :(
S: Mer.

I just want my parents to see pretty & sunny Alaska.  Am I really shooting for the moon here?

A: I’d like to hope they get at least one decent day.  It’s not like we live in Washington state or anything ;)

Sorry, I’m always used to referring to either Washington D.C. or Washington State being from the east side and all.

S: I know right?  And yet they have sunny and 75.  For the last two weeks, and supposedly the whole time they’re here.  Lame.

A: How ironic.

Boy for noticing 4:21, the past 39 minutes are moving extremely slow.  I shouldn’t have said anything.

It doesn’t help the fact that I have no motivation to work in CET since it’s not cooperating right now either.
S: Seriously.  Never point out the time again.  Apparently it doesn’t help.  Snipe.
You want to hear a sad story?

A: Absolutely I do.

S: In Anchorage, the record high for September 30 is 58’.  Plus, I was flipping through the other months, there was not a single record high in Anchorage above 83’.

S: So what are your plans for lunch today?
A: Not sure I have food at home, but I could always eat that tomorrow…  You?
S: This weather is making me want to eat something delicious…
A: To counteract its misery?

S: Actually… basically yes.

A: I see.  Where would you suggest?

S: … Somewhere warm?  I don’t know.. This day feels so hum drum and I am just wanting it to feel awesome!

Great harvest?  Bears Tooth? (You’re probably sick of that one)  We could try somewhere new like café Amsterdam.  Nu Sagaya.  Chinese food?  I have no clue.

Anything sound good to you?

A: Yeah all of it actually.

S: Well.  I guess  that’s always an option :)  But I think it might mean a lot of take-away boxes.

A: True.  Chinese food sounds good but there’s just no good restaurants here.  I may be able to venture to Café Amsterdam.  Or try that place Jackie sent the menu from if they have good lunch prices and are open.

S: I would be happy with both of those options.  They’re both really close too.  I just checked out that place that Jackie sent over and they have a $10 lunch menu.  Preference?

A: The new place sounds delicious.  Do you think they’d have a long wait?

S: We can always try it, and if the wait sounds too long we can go to Cammies.

A: Sounds good, what’s Cammies?

S: Yeah… I wondered about that.  It just felt like it took too long to write out Café Amsterdam.

A: Oh I see! Yes CA.  Even shorter.  Also California.

S: Ooh.  Much shorter.  I like.

Also, I love how we have been casually discussing our lunch plans for over an hour.

A: Indeed we have.  I could talk about food for hours.

S: I could as well.

Just another reason we should be friends…. Oh wait.  We already are.

A: Oh excellent.  I’m glad you agree. 

It’s quite interesting how the workplace can bring people together.  Especially % emails.

S: I know right?  Who would have guessed.

Although it probably helped that we had more in common than %’s.  I find numeric similarity to be limited at best.

A: Honestly, %’s are less than thrilling to me majority of the time.  Math really is just ghastly despite its functional purpose in life.

S: You know—for how much time we had to spend learning math, it’s amazing how little we actually use in daily life.

A: True.  Mostly it’s just the basic math we learned early in school. 

What time do you want to head to lunch?  Me hungry.

S: Yeah.  Like 3^rd grade.

Yousa hungry?  That was a terrible Star Wars Episode 1 flashback.

Maybe around 1240?  Not like I’m doing anything productive, but then we can round up to 1245 :)

A: Sounds good to me!

S: Snipe.

A: I know, right!

S: Just glad it wasn’t me.

A: Yeah me too!

S: Holy awkward!  That’s probably exactly what happened.  Remind me to tell you sometime about the time that I was publicly confronted about refusing a friend request on fb.  Snipe.

A: I have so much laundry at home to do, it’s hard to concentrate here.  Wish I could just take the day off and clean the house instead of clean fish!
S: :) I hear you.  I realized this morning that my sink is totally full of dishes.  Snipe.  I really hate that.
A: Yep, we’ve got that going on too.  It’s mostly M’s.  I’m guilty of a dish or two though. But I usually try to keep on top of dishes if nothing else.  I just like clean kitchens!
S: Yes!  Me too!  Even if the rest of my house is a mess I like that clean.  I realized it’s because my roommate and I have opposite dish theories.  I’m a “put it into the dishwasher immediately, then start it when its full” person.  She’s a “put it in the sink, and when the sink is full, fill and start the dishwasher” person.  So as a result I’m the one who always fills and empties it.  Which I just didn’t have the energy for this week.  Snipe.  I’ll probably do that today.
A: Yeah I’m the same as you (most of the time).  There are rare occasions when I let pots sit for a day if I’m exhausted but usually no longer than that.  M is good when we’re cooking together though, we clean as we go usually so there are no dishes in the sink.  Or if B is home he’ll clean the dishes.  It’s when we’re busy that it gets piled up!  I’m not a fan of the roommates who do as yours does though. 

That was a long HGTV conversation I wasn’t prepared for. 

A: Seriously, he’s still hung up on having the whole process on the blog?  I thought we moved past that months ago.
S: Yes.  Literally.  Months.

S: Also I’m pretty sure he still prints everything.

A: Yes, quite possibly.  Did you know he didn’t finish design school?

S: Really?  Scandal.

A: That’s what C told me anyway.

S: He would know.  I love how all the worst (and by worst I mean best) gossips I know are men.  Whoever managed to convince the world it was women did some crazy good PR.

A: Very true!

I really want to kick myself for not sticking to an art degree.  I bet my college had a good art education program since it was an Education degree based college. Boo hoo.  Maybe I’ll have to move back to NC and do that…

S: Sounds like a plan!  You realize you aren’t allowed to leave here until I do, right?

That would be the worst.

A: Of course of course.  It’ll be a sad day if you’re not here and I am.  I’ll have to gchat with you or something.

I’m such a split personality.  Part of me loves it here.  Part of me really just wants to go back to the south.  I need lots of money so I can buy 2 houses and live in both areas different parts of the year. 
S: Yes!  Good plan. 

D and I were talking about owning rental properties in different places around the country so we have somewhere to stay if we want to go……

That sounded a lot less like we were married in my head.

A: Haha this is what B is experiencing in Minnesota.  He’s loving it.

S: Hah!  My favorite part is 84, feels like 96.  Forgot how much I hated that
S: Is it bad that I’m not really a fan of working on bids with J?  I feel like the company has been using the same process for all these bids, but she doesn’t know it, and it’s throwing a wrench in my process.
S: Central Wershington.
A: Oh what?  He was in central Wershington on Mondee you know, probably had his knapsack with him too. :)
S: Or at least his bayg.
S: Are you, perhaps, interested in grabbing something for lunch today?
A: Hmm well actually I could just deposit the checks first and then we could go to lunch, but only if it’s great harvest.
S: For reals?  Snipe.  I could do great harvest…. And perhaps I’ll even know someone working…….. 

Also, I totally bought most of the ingredients yesterday for key lime pie :)  Do you by chance have a lime?

A: Yeah, its ridicerrous.  I like it when you know people working at GH ;)

Interestingly enough I am getting 3 limes in my veggie box on Thursday, so yes. 

S: How serendipitous!

A: I like how we’re both getting a little ADD with bids that we’d rather contribute length to the % email.  Speaking of % email, isn’t it 4 months old now?

S: Snipe!  We missed 4 month-iversary!

But seriously, we normally only do this when we have nothing to do.  But somehow even having this bid to do I’m uber bored.

A: When do you want to do lunch?  I just remembered I need to get my phone at home too.  Do you want to ride with me and do 2 errands or meet me at GH?
S: Either or.  I’ll ride with you on your errands, it’s not like I have anywhere to be :)

S: I was going to try and hold out for 1245 ish… but probably more like 1230.  When did you want to go?

A: I guess it depends on when A gets back since G wants to do 1-2.  I can do anytime really.

S: You know… we could go to great harvest today…..
A: You’re evil.  Not really.  But Great Harvest just sounds ridiculously delicious.  That garlic cheese bread.  A-mazing.
S: You’re in good company.  You wouldn’t believe the number of people who are certain I’m the devil’s advocate.
I could do either way really.  I have a really good bagel at home as well—so your choice. :)

A: Let’s do it another day this week – the rental car company we used put a hold on all our bank account for some stupid deposit but it will get taken care of, I just have no money until the hold is lifted.

S: Snipe.  Yeah, we’ll just go another day.

A: Yeah, snipe to the max.
