Mixed drinks at work

Seltzer and orange juice = Delicious
Seltzer and hot coffee = Not so delicious

Waste of time (and thumbs)

My laptop froze today during the log-in screen.  Well, actually, it was only sort-of frozen.  I won't get into the details, but ultimately it wouldn't let me do anything even though it seemed to still be trying to log in.  So I decide to wait for it to unfreeze.  (For some reason, I decided to be patient, not sure why.)

Anyway.....15 minutes later, it's still stuck.  So I decide to call the Tech Help guys in my office.  But why make a phone call when I can send an email through my phone!  So I decide to simply take a picture of the frozen computer screen and send it to them through my phone.  Makes sense, right?

So I snap the photo and start typing up an email on my phone explaining the problem.  I'm trying to explain the nuances of the "sort-of-frozen-ness" of the screen, and I even re-read the email and re-wrote a few sentences to make sure I was being crystal clear.

After a few minutes of typing, my thumbs are quite numb, but the email is finished and polished and ready to send.

But of course, at that exact moment....DA DA DUH DAH (aka. Windows log-in music.)

The computer unfroze and logged me in, but only after I had paralyzed my thumbs trying to craft an email to the IT guys about it.

Rock in my shoe

So my left shoe was making noises all day at work yesterday and today.  I thought maybe it was just the carpet at the office, or perhaps just the inside sole had come loose again.

But then I realized it didn't sound like that at all.  Instead, it sounded like a maraca.

So I sit down, take off my shoe, and lo and behold....

The sole of my shoe is frikkin' hollow!

A squirrel could've stored an entire season of nuts in there!

Anyway, I removed the rock and all is better.  (But I'm pretty sure this will end up happening every day until I get the shoe replaced (again.)
