So I have mentioned before here that my boss is extra.

So we have to write reports and even though we are adults, she has to approve them. 

So of course before I left I get a report back with directions on what I need to change.

What I wrote: Title requirements for coverage have been waived by "Joe Smoe".

What my boss has said I have to change it to: Please specify that settlement is being recommended without coverage being confirmed due to "Joe Smoe", Director of Risk Management waiving coverage confirmation requirement.

What kind of wordiness extraness is this?????

But my name is on this joint and it looks like I wrote all that extraness. 

Yea and so what I made up extraness. This is not a corporate report!!!! 

I sit right by a printer and our Mitchell books so people are often by my desk.  I have big ears too. I'm listeinging to the the talk around the printer especially if it's interesting. 

The lastest conversation between a female and male co-worker:

Female: "Hey do you have poision ivy?" Pause. "I mean if that is poison ivy."  "It looks like poison ivy"

Male: Silence

At this point I turn around because I have noticed the marks on his arms, but due to a previous experience* I keep my mouth shut. But he is not saying anything and that makes me nervous.  His back is to me so he does not see my wide eye stared glaring into the back of his head, waiting for a answer.

Male: Well its psoriasis.

Female: Oh

Note*-I made a joke with another co-worker about red blotches on his arm.  He said its psoriasis but he has finally found medication that helped.  I made a joke about a medical condition so I felt bad and kept my mouth shut. 

But dude two people in the office have the same condition? And we see it because you are rocking short sleeve shirts??? I'm a little skeptical about the situation.  I feel yucky.

My birthday: October 29th.

Celebration begins: October 1st.

Celebration ends: October 31st.

It's just how I do. Feel free to partake in anyway possible.  YAY!!!!

Except asking my age. :))))

I don't function on panic mode.  I may be scared about things, like I am about the current economy and my career is in the financial services industry.  But I don't tend to panic.

Well here is GA we have a shortage of gas.  I was speaking to someone and we were debating whether it was a result of people panicking or is there really a shortage.  I believe it is a combination of both.  On my way to work I pass three gas stations and for the last week they have not had any gas.  Two of them have gotten some and when I am leaving in the morning people are lined up.  By the time I get home the station is empty again.  People are also running out of gas while trying to find gas or on line waiting to get it.

I went out last night around 10:30 looking for gas and either the station was empty or people were lined up.  But the crazy thing is where the people were lined up there was no gas. They were sitting waiting for a truck to come.  That's crazy to me.  I came home.  I'm going to come out tonight probably after 12 to see if I can get some. 

Worst comes to worse, Ill have to wait on line and be late for work or wait on line waiting for a truck to come.  Its bad enough I have to leave my house so late to see what I can get. People say theat because we dont have a good public transportation system and rely heavily on our vehicles, the governor should call a state of emergency.  I agree I need a day or two off from work.  Well shall see how ti goes. Wish me luck!

I mean I went to NY, ate and drank. I went on a 8 day cruise and ate and drank and ate some more.  Not crazy but I had bread every day. I had ice cream at least twice a day. I had a big drink once a day.  Pancakes and some greasy bacon every day. I get home and there is no food in the house. So I been slacking and eating fast food. Mcdonalds, Popeyes, Burger King.  And Soda! Drinking soda which I very rarley do.  All this and no gym all week.  So I really been messing up.

I get on the scale this morning and from the day before I left to NY until today I lost 4 pounds.  Um can some explain that too me???? Please!!!!!

I accomplished one thing today and that was washing my hair.

Otherwise I did nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch.

And that so sucks.

Well I love art. Love it! So I decided when I had the available cash I would start collecting.  While on my cruise they have an art gallery that does auctions and holds seminars.  I was at all but one of the events.  I didn't buy anything. I just studied some works and found some artists that I like.

One artist I fell in love with is Emile Bellet.  He paints pictures of women without faces and to me its beautiful because the woman in the picture can be whoever you want her to be.

My birthday is coming so feel free to contact me for a shipping address! lol

Okay so here are only a few of random photos throught the trip.  As I went over them I realize I didn't take much with the fam.  That kind of sucks but ph well just have to plan another trip!!!!  There are plenty more over at Flickr if youc are to see. Its linked over on the side some where. Enjoy!

So I was out the other night and my homeboy Kareem is showing off his new tattoo. So of course I brought up the whole thing about getting them in certain places and when you get it old it looks crazy, as I have just seen on my cruise.  So he proceeds to make a big joke, the liquor involved didn't help, about when he's 70 or 80 hes not trying to impress anyone and does not care how any of his tattoos will look at that point.  He says at that point in time your not with someone for looks but "can we get along."  I fell out.  I guess its kind of true.  But he can say that because his tattoos are on his arms and even when hes 70 or 80, Kareem will continue to have his body right.  He is just that kind of guy.  I should swipe some of his myspace pictures to give yall a visual.  Hmm Ii think Ill do that! lol
