| First, Hawaii on Saturday! Woohoo!!!!
Second, a hilarious HALO 2 machinama music video:
Third, I've always used the term "dop kit" for the toiletries I carry on a trip. I've never known why it was called that, but my father called it that. Randomly, I decided to look it up on Google( ... ) | comments: Leave a comment   |
| So, everyone knows what helium is. Well, imagine if you had something that was the opposite of helium?
This was shown to me by my parents. We all agree that the best part is when Jay's other guest laughs as he walks out of camera. There was actually more to this bit, specifically some fun with fire, but it's not in this clip.
Update: The gas, by the way, is called sulfur hexafluoride. | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| We have a lot of servers here (many for development, a few for actual client use, and a few for internal use). So we have many names in use. Some elements (Iron, Oxygen, Tin, etc), some of the usual names (Testbed), and a few new ones (Earth, Fire). The last server name has led to some very funny conversations, which culminated [for me] today:
Tasia: are you on fire?
Me: Heh.
Me: No, but my girlfriend thinks I'm smokin'
Tasia: LOL
Tasia: i meant the server
Me: hehehe
Tasia: LOL
Me: I know
Me: No, I'm not. | | comments: 5 comments or Leave a comment |
| Normally our office is pleasantly cool. But, I have a floor fan; the vent doesn't hit my desk, and I like stiffled if the air isn't moving.
When I came back from lunch today my [shared] office was a lot warmer than the rest of the suite. I mentioned it to my coworkers in my office. Tatyana agreed, though she was ok with it. ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) waywardchild28, on the other hand, was wearing a sweater. I turned on my fan, set it to low, and got to work.
Eventually, it got to the point that it was getting uncomfortable, so we complained to the building management. They come into our office. "Hm, it definitely is too warm. We'll go adjust the system." They leave. Around 5 minutes later, I notice it getting much warmer... I mention this to waywardchild28, as she's taking off her sweater, because she's too warm. Tatyana is bright red, she's so warm.
We're informed that the AC has broken. The whole office starts to heat up.
An hour or so later, our CEO walks by the office door and looks in to see how we're doing. He notices my fan, going at full blast, pointed straight at me.
"That is SO not fair!" *pout*
Hehehe. | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| For now however, I shall summarize: it was a lot of fun. Wedding went well. The time I spent with my immediate family was a blast (like always). The time with my extended family was a lot of fun too. I met one of my [sort-of] cousin's boyfriends (a British diplomat, and a very nice guy).
For now, however, a funny interchange between Rob & I tonight. When I got home, he was just getting out of the shower and we both needed dinner. So we went to Pei Wei. After we ate, we grabbed fortune cookies and opened them up.
I read mine first. "Your principles mean more to you than money or success."
Rob adds: "... in bed."
"Heh. Ok, and what was yours?"
"You may attend a party where strange customs prevail..."
We both start laughing really hard.
And he finishes: "...in bed." | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Quick update before I crash (getting up at 0500 to fly up to SF for work). Hit the grocery store right before I came back. A dude, wearing a tank top, is walking around obviously looking for something. Says (under his breath) "...protein shakes..." as he walks by me.
"Down at the end of the store" I say, and point. "Oh!" he says. "Thanks!" Walks off.
Eventually I get to the checkout line, and he (and two friends) are standing in line. He looks at me and says "thanks, but you made it sound like they were down all the way at the END of the store."
"Oh, sorry about that!"
"It's ok. I was wandering around the frozen fruit section, going 'well that cute boy said they were down here...' I found them eventually, though." | | comments: 5 comments or Leave a comment |
| I'm still sick. I came in today because we have a big presentation today at 2pm, so I wanted to make sure I had things ready before then. So I'll work until a bit before 2 and then head over to Student Health. However, I realized it'd help if I called and got an appointment. Note, however, that my voice is basically gone.
I suppose I could have asked one of my coworkers to call for me. Or I could have strained my voice and made the call myself. However, I instead decided not to bother anyone else. So this is what I did. I had to do it twice, because I ended up messing up the message at one point.
In playing with it, however, I also made it produce extremely amusing version. Enjoy, everyone! | | comments: 9 comments or Leave a comment |

| Talked to my mom twice today. The first time was around 11am:
Sandra: Are you at work?
Greg: yep
Greg: not talking, but am coding
Greg: so I'm ok
Sandra: you feel ok?
Greg: not great, but all right, yeah
Greg: we have a demo tomorrow, so I want to get the system I'm working on ready for it
Greg: you know?
Sandra: did you take lunch
Greg: yea
Greg: the stuff you put into the bag for me, thanks!
Sandra: I'm proud of your work ethic
Sandra: Don't push too hard
Greg: yeah
Greg: I won't
Greg: I'll probably leave early, if I can
And right now:
Sandra: it's almost 5 and you're still there
Greg: yeah
Sandra: don't push it too much
Greg: trying to figure out some stuff
Greg: ok
Greg: I'll leave soon
Sandra: sounds just like something your mother say
Greg: hahah
Greg: yeah
Greg: it is
Sandra: nag nag
Greg: haha
Sandra: lol
Greg: ily
Sandra: ily
Heh. We both do this a fair amount. "I'm almost done. Just another hour..." | | comments: Leave a comment |
