Slacker

Gosh, I've been letting you all down today.  In my defense, I have been working.  I had to drive into Redmond to meet with my manager to allow her to sign my I-9 (proof of eligibility to work in the US) form, and then attended several exciting meetings about policies.  wooo shiver.

The funny thing about where the office located in Redmond is that it is a shared space with the company where one of my favorite former eChargers landed.   He's a remote person too, so there's very little chance of getting to meet for lunch when I drive up there.  That would be the only exciting thing about a trip into the local office.  It's like a no tell motel.  There are rows of empty cubes, a crappy fax machine and pathetic coffee room supplies.  Heck, even the office supplies really aren't that worthy of raiding.  I did pick up a new notebook and some pens, but since I have post its galore left over from my eCharge "severance" I don't need to pick any up.  (The post-its were the severance package.)

Post its are also kind of lame in the single person home office.  If I need to tell myself something, I arrange a meeting with me and knock it out.

One thing that came up today is the need to zip to San Jose on the 21st for a meeting.  Since I'm there most of the following week I opted to make it a one day up and back activity.  It will be a long day, but better than having to stay overnight. Since my travel profile with new employer is new I'm still working out the kinks.  Today I found out that if you have someone (like your boss) listed as a person who can make emergency changes for you when you're traveling, that they automatically get copies of your travel itinerary information.  Well, THAT WILL NOT DO.  I don't have anything to hide, but I don't need her to be trying to find me cheaper flights either.    I quickly fixed that potential nightmare.

So, in the real world, I'm so excited about the end of another season of Project Runway.  I'm secretly in love with Seth Aaron from Vancouver.  He's edgy and fun without that 'former drug user" thing that Jeffery has (has?) going on.   I like the vibe that Mila brings to the table, but fear that Emilio will win it and frankly his "string/washer  bikini" sucked and Seth Aaron never had a miss like that. 

I thought Anthony was a hoot!  His "I wanna be on Oprah show thing made me laugh.

I would like Oprah, cause outta all the days she could book me on her show, she could book me on the day she be screamin' "you get a car, you get a car, you get a car!"  Oprah, don't book me on the "my husband has a porn addition"  No Oprah, I don't wanna be on that show cuz my uncle Leroy got that same problem...

Oh Anthony Williams, you were a bright happy spot on reality tv.

You get a car, you get a car, you get a car!!!!
