nothing at all

Today is Thursday and that means nothing. I just needed an opening sentence to start this post. I really have nothing to write about. I actually have nothing to say. Even though this entire blog is about nothing, I have nothing to write about. So it's probably in your best interest to leave now and read no more.

Ok, I found something. I went to spell check this post because I'm a horrible speller. The funny thing is, I was in a spelling bee in 1st grade. I skipped the spelling bee to go skiing, but still, I was meant to be in a spelling bee. Back to the main topic of the paragraph. I'm on the new computer, an imac, using Safari and noticed that the options for posting are not there anymore. There used to be a hyperlink, font settings, and something else. All I have now are spell checker and the picture adder. Now the spell checker doesn't work. Please ignore all grammar errors beyond this point.

The second paragraph is probably the worst paragraph ever written.

Suspenders at work is constanly asking me hard questions. What's worse is that he sits there an waits on a reply. He already knows the answer. Why is he waiting on me to answer? Sometimes I just sit there and have a staring contest with him. He wins everytime. I can't stare at him any longer than 3 seconds. Other times I just ignore the question all together. So he asks it again. Then I begin the staring contest. The awkward silence kills my motivation.

The Playoffs have started! This year I'm putting all my money on the Rockies.

My roommate just told me that he would kill me. "I will freakin kill you." I've never laughed so hard in my life.

Once again Target unloaded my bank account last night. It was all worth it though. I have a real chair to sit in at the computer now. Previously I was sitting in a stool and slumping over like the Hunch Back of Notre Dame. Wonder what the neighbors thought when looking through my window? Also I purchased a beard trimmer. I want to keep the "hippy tree hugger" look. Is that seductive?

The Office was just ok tonight. I didn't laugh as much as normal.

I just got off the phone with The Girl. She is hoarse. I told her she sounded like an old lady smoker. She told me thanks and continued to talk like nothing was the matter. How do you just ignore that? She was scaring me so I had to think of an excuse to get off the phone. I hope she doesn't read this. If I was ever hoarse I'd probably order pizza over the phone and get the senior citizen discount.

What laundry detergent got lots of mileage out of the ad line, "ring around the collar"?

Last entry's answer was Sesame Street.

lead foot

Houston is taking some getting use to. I'm from Small Town, Mississippi which has two red lights in the whole town. Houston itself is bigger than the entire state of Mississippi. Well, almost, maybe not, it could be. Yesterday a wreck on NASA 1, which I personally think is the worst highway in Texas as far as traffic is concerned, slowed me up and made the drive home much longer. I did manage to win the race home against the roommate. Today there were two wrecks on the interstate heading into downtown. That commotion double my drive home time compared to yesterday. Me 1, roommate 1. I'm going to own him tomorrow.

Today's Starbucks adventure ends on a crappy note. I stumble into the lobby to find that the machine is fully stocked with everything and is ready to produce some delicious brand name coffee. There are no cups. I look in every drawer, shelf, and cabinet. The guy in the Michigan shirt saw my temper flair as I threw the pool balls and cue. Ok, I made that up, there was no throwing except in my mind.

I really work at NASA.

I was beginning to doubt the intelligence of Carlos, the facility maintenance man. A request was put in for him to fix our ice maker. I turned the ice maker off because it was leaking water, what any normal person with common sense would do. His maintenance report yesterday was that there was no leak and everything looked fine. Carlos! I'm not going to leave it on to flood my apartment. Where's your head at? He did manage to fix the problem today. We have a new fridge and the doors open in the opposite direction now. Thanks Carlos.

Going back to the wreck traffic on the interstate. Pedro in the pick up truck directly in front of me must have paid the DMV off for his license or either he has a solid lead foot. Heavy on the gas, heavy on the brake. Heavy on the gas, heavy on the brake. Its bumper to bumper traffic. Take it easy Pedro.

Good news, I'm already lined up to travel for the new job. Watch out Baltimore, here I come! I'm staying in the second nicest hotel ever. Thanks new job.

What was the biggest city in America until 1755?
