I am an expert...
Or so they tell me at work just because i already have learned all the hot keys and short cuts to the software I am learning. Something no one else has done here.
First week new job
I work downtown kansas city. The job has been really great so far and even though I have gotten lost many times I am really enjoying working downtown. I am two buildings down from the library which is awesome but sadly it won’t last. In April or May we are moving to the sprint campus.
Just things I think about from time to time
Maple syrup (real maple syrup, the good stuff, not the maple flavored crap)= reduced tree blood
Alcohol = the excrement of yeast (a micro organism in the fungi kingdom, mmm excrement-o-fungus)
seeds = embryos (so would eating them be a type of abortion?)

You’re a skinny white health-nut who is also something of a naturalist and eats more vegetables than average. If I didn’t know you, I think even I would make a loose assumption you were probably a vegetarian… If it looks and quacks like a duck…
Loose assumptions give birth to bastard children that are left at foster homes, sweat shops, and...

I… AM… NOT… A… VEGETARIAN!
Don’t get me wrong. I have full respect for vegetarians. Vegans now… Well I’m not going to get into vegans other then they disturb me. I even eat vegetarian meals from time to time. I encourage people to eat less meat, BUT that does not mean I do not partake in a beautiful medium rare to medium steak. Or like...

Can't let the opportunity go by
On the stove at this moment. A stock pot. In the stock pot, the carcass of the turkey, some left over celery, three green onions, leaves off of a broccoli stem, a 1/4 of a green bell pepper, three (or four I can’t remember) cloves of garlic, a touch of black pepper, and a little bit onion powder all covered with water and simmering away.
I will have some turkey stock soon.
Everyone have a Happy Holiday
except you… Over there… Hiding… I see you and I know more then Santa what you did. So you. Yeah you. No happy holiday for you.

Happy Christmas everybody!

This has become one of my favorite online nurseries. They have all kinds of rare and exotic fruiting trees, vines, and shrubs. They even have almost 20 different varieties of pawpaw trees (love pawpaws. I know where they grow wild here in Kansas City but I’m not telling), OH and look they sell gift cards too. So if by chance you know you look at the calendar in a few days and say “Oh...

What I said to myself while cleaning out my coat...
Me: You know you really shouldn't carry kiwis in your pockets. Someone might get the wrong impression.
Holiday Confession
I do not like wrapping presents, but every year I do. I do it because I say to myself “you’ll get it right this year” but it never happens. By the time I’m done with wrapping the presents they look like something either out of a kindergarten class or a schizophrenic hallucination. They don’t look too bad if you don’t look at them straight on…I have two...
Irony
Today is my last day with the company I work for. I start a new job Monday making A LOT more. The entire time I’ve worked at this job I have been cold. I don’t get cold very easily or rather don’t notice I’m cold very easily, but I was having to sit at my desk with a jacket on each day. Yesterday they finally figured out what was wrong with the air. There are six...
barelysarcasm replied to your photo that looks delicious! Is that Jalapeno cheese bread?
No sir that wonderful carb loaded treat filled with “healthy” goodness was a green chili bagel from Einstein Brothers.

Talking + Writing is bad. Don’t want to tell anyone you’re an insurance nympho by mistake. Horribly embarrassing, that.
Yeah how did that work out for you?
Sometime it pays to be nice
I sent an email to the store manager of a noodles and company complimenting her staff. Because of that i was invited to bring three people that have never had it before and they would cover the tab.
And
I should not type on the phone while talking to coworkers.

ellens:
Well kids. Thanks to 11.5 years of research in long-term relationships, if you date me for at least 7 months, there is a 75% chance that you’ll marry the next chick you bag.
Can your broker offer you that kind of a return? I didn’t think so. Line forms to the left.

Dj AMPS's sounds on SoundCloud →
A coworker of mine, Chris, came up to me and asked if I would listen to his music and if I liked it share it. He’s trying to get the word out about his mixes. I haven’t listened to any of it yet but if you are willing to give a local Kansas City DJ a try here is some of his work.
Multicolr Search Lab →
jilllian:
They’ve extracted the colors from 10 million of Flickr’s most “interesting” Creative Commons photos, and you have the option to search them via a color palette.
Definitely one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while, not to mention, has the potential to be hella useful for web designers looking for stock photos to use in a site design.

Random Fact About Me
I spend way too much time looking for things I JUST HAD. Example: I went to down stairs to refill my coffee. Came back upstairs to continue writing. I stopped by the bedroom on the way to the office and turned on the radiant space heater in their so it would be warm when I went to bed (the bedroom is really cold). Then I came back to the office… I didn’t have my coffee anymore. First I...
jilllian replied to your chat: (text conversation) I think it is a great compliment
Pretty much the only movies I was ever bought as a kid were Disney, and my parents did not get cable until I was 17. Through Netflix I have now discovered a ton of kid movies I’ve heard of but never actually seen…
I didn’t have cable growing up, but my parents were infamous for renting movies and coping...

Jill: Have you seen Short Circuit?
Me: Yes and the second one too 'Johnny 5 is alive!' I wore out several VHS as a child.
Jill: Lmao I think it shaped your personality. I watched it for the first time last night and the robot kept reminding me of you!
