Not some people&#8230; noooo. There&#8217;s this girl whom I&#8217;ve seen at the bus stop a few times now, and she wears a pretty short college shirt and her belly shows from under it. You know, sagging from under it. You get the picture. And if you don&#8217;t, be glad about it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 17 without my TV:<\/strong> BUT I got it back! And it seems to work! *hugs* ahh&#8230; smells good. TVs have a strangely good smell about them&#8230; maybe it&#8217;s all the dust and electricity and components. I don&#8217;t know. Anyway, yay! &#92;o&#47;<\/p>\n<p>A bee got in while Dad was carrying the TV from the car. It (the bee) bumped into me even though I tried to shut the door quickly (but the wind\/pressure change sucked the bee inside). Scared the bejesus out of me. (I&#8217;ve never been stung by a bee, and I&#8217;m not planning to be.) Funny, I had just read Man in the Black Suit (Everything&#8217;s Eventual) on the way home.<br \/>\n<?php if(false) { ?><br \/>\nYesterday I almost got photographed at work; they insisted there should be a photo of me outside the project&#8217;s room as there&#8217;s a photo of the others (but it&#8217;s so nicely arranged now that there&#8217;s 6 people, 3 pictures in a row). Well, as one of them said on the day I &#8220;moved in&#8221;, I would be teased <img src=\"https:\/\/www.all-things-me.net\/blog\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/> They &#8220;threatened&#8221; to take a surprise shot one day.<br \/>\n<?php } ?><br \/>\nToday at work I was invited to the coffee clique so tomorrow I&#8217;ll take my &#8220;Toxic Waste&#8221; coffee mug with me and leave it there for the time being. *gasp* What if someone steals it?!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Still listening:<\/strong> Maroon 5 This Love<\/p>\n<p>Talking about listening&#8230; Today I took some CDs with me to work meaning to listen to them in the quiet hours (I&#8217;m there around 8:30am, others come around noon, they&#8217;re working part-time). Well, I did the necessary Linux stuff to get the CD working, plugged in my headphones &#8212; they were broken <img src=\"https:\/\/www.all-things-me.net\/blog\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/> the other earpiece didn&#8217;t work at all, and the other made a crackling sound and only worked when I held the cord. Well, I went to ask if there&#8217;d be earphones to borrow and it started a Key Hunt. It was embarrassing!! The computer guy went to ask for keys from the office and the lady there (our other computer person) didn&#8217;t find them and kept looking everywhere. I kept saying it&#8217;s not so big a deal but they wouldn&#8217;t listen. Well, finally they gave up and I retreated to my corner. Luckily he\/they didn&#8217;t appear with the headphones later in the day. Hopefully they&#8217;ve forgotten about it. Tomorrow I&#8217;m taking my other headphones which actually work.<\/p>\n<p>Eh&#8230; it&#8217;s only 9th and I&#8217;ve produced this much cr&#8230;.text. Do I have to start archiving semi-monthly?
