I walked into the breakroom, and a coworker was microwaving his knit hat.

He pulled it out and it was steaming, but still completely soaked. I

I managed to have a conversation with him about why he thought microwaving his hat was the best idea, and walk out straight faced. Retelling the story to another coworker, I laughed so hard I couldn't get it out. Then, I laughed so hard I cried. Then I laughed so hard I got the screeches.


I needed that today... now I gotta go rub off my racoon eyes.

When I get a fire under my ass, I move. FAST.

I just found a new place today. Among being crazy neighbor and sex offender free, it has:

1) HUGE fenced yard. Labrador tested, landlord has 2 dogs and fosters as well. Dusty won't know what to do with himself

2) HUGE yard with grill, welcome invitation to make myself feel at home

3) Actual 1 bedroom apartment. WHEE!

4) I get to pick the paint color. I'm only barred from Purple or Yellow, other than that, I was told to go to home Depot and bring back the chips I like.

5) Carpet in Bedroom, Hardwoods in living room. I hate waking up and putting my feet on the cold floor. Brr!

6) About a mile closer to work. 1.5 blocks from El train, have 2 different bus routes within 1 block. 25 minute walk from home to work.

7) Screened in back porch. Booyah.

8) Perhaps the best part of all... if I pay cash the rent...

Police knocked on my door this morning, looking for a sex offender who had listed an apartment in the level below me as his address and had not registered.

He has 3 convictions for aggravated criminal sexual assault, 2 of the charges for victims under 18, 1 victim also being under 13 years of age.

I am female. I am single. I live alone. I am deaf. Thank god for my dog who does not like strange men. I keep a hefty Maglite at each door... might be time to upgrade.


What a way to start my week.

I get an email from my alumni Career Services office... and I had to do a double take. Before I realized my eyes were crossed, I thought the Subject Line read "Oral Presents - How to Make it Big!"


Since ASU was the #2 party school for a while, I thought maybe they were just finally coming clean, LOL!

Sometimes Outer Space is just too fucking wicked cool.
