I'm fairly certain some parents just really don't think it through all the way when they name their kids. Looking at the photo of Kuntal, I'm guessing that it is a cultural/language difference issue instead of outright meanness. But still... working with a crew of rednecks, I could just see that one going oh so badly.

So, let's think about my last name.

Now, I am TL. My sister is CA. Yeah, that's right, put those initials with our last name. Laugh amongst yourselves.

Did I ever tell you what my parents joked about calling me? Rose. Laugh on.

Naming you Rose would have just been cruel. Kev tells me that he grew up with a couple boys with the last name Hawke... first names Jay, and Thomas (middle initial A). I think I would have to slap my parents if they did something like that to me.

They weren't going to actually name me Rose. They tortured my grandmother with that for a while. A few years later they told her they were going to name my sister Lilac.

Donald picked my brother's name. He was named after a friend. He was going to try to name my sister Leona after that dude's wife, but my mom wouldn't hear of it. Mom picked my name. Had I been a boy, of course it would have been Michael.

Some days, I can pinpoint the time that my "Give a F-" flew straight out the window.

How is it only 4:15pm? And only Tuesday?

I have been busy today but feel like this has been one of the longest days. I think the world clock is broken.

Although I'm still in the chair, my mind has left for vacation. I've got everything I have to do done. There's some stuff that if I don't do today will be waiting for me when I get back, and I'm trying to resist the urge to procrastinate it.

Best part of this day: inciting a sing-along via IM with the senior engineer over on my customer side. Song: The Wheels On The Bus (go round and round)

Just then the BFF texts me and asks what I'm doing. So I tell him that JJ and I are having a sing along to The Wheels On The Bus... he hits me back with "round and round, round and round... all over town"

Right now, I'm remembering how to breathe again, and I think the butterflies are finally vacating my stomach...

Right now I'm pissed off at one of my coworkers.

A bunch of boxes were accidentally shipped to us instead of to the customer. They came in while I was out, 2 skids worth.

My coworker moved them out of the way, which is fine, but then moved in house inventory in front of them. So I was looking for the boxes and couldn't find them, and he pointed out where they were.

I was hoping he would move the stuff in front of them out of the way, but he didn't, so I started counting the boxes to make sure they were all there. While I was counting, THEN he moves the pallet jack skid mover thingy in front of the skid, right next to me, nearly touching my foot, but doesn't push it in. I didn't know it was there, so when I stepped sideways to count the rest of the boxes, I tripped over it. There was no where to go, nothing to grab on to, so I landed face first across this thing over a cement floor.

(This thing: Pallet-Jacks-Skid-Movers.jpg)

Okay, it was an accident, he's not the brightest to think ahead. But then he says, "Geez, Michelle!" as I'm still sprawled out on the floor. He doesn't say he's sorry, he doesn't try to help me up, and he finally adds a, "You okay?"

I think I'm fine, mostly just bumps and bruises, mostly on my legs. My knee is swelling. I don't think I'll be wearing a skirt or shorts for the next week or so though.  A little bit of concern would've been nice though.

Ouch. Would you like us to kick his butt? These are the kinds of accidents and workers comp claims that are totally preventable.

I should send "safety girl" out there. Yeah, she has a real name but I don't know what it is. She'd have a field day. I know it is her job, but she is annoying. I was sitting in my chair on Friday freezing (I was running a slight fever). Then I was hot so I stripped off my fuzzy and let it drape behind me. You know that the arms fell over the sides and were hanging low. One side was closer to the wheel of my chair. She walked by and called me on it. I told her it didn't matter because when I got cold in ten minutes I was putting it right back on. I said some other stuff too.

Oh man, that is some perfume! I never saw the person who wore it, they didn't even come down the hallway toward my office. And they're not even here anymore. But man, the whole building reeks of that perfume! And I'm not one of those anti-perfume people, I don't mind smelling a little of it, but I'd prefer to still breathe after being exposed!

I hate that. We have a few people around here who stain the air with their fragrance.

Did you ever want to shove a cough drop up someone's nose and another down their throat?

 Honestly, when I think of shoving things into orifices, I can't say this particular thought has ever come to mind.

While I tend to agree with you, this guy is either sick again or still sick. His coughing yesterday and today is driving me crazy.

I had to pass on a free pair of Phillies tickets vs. the White Sox tomorrow night because I am going to a concert . This is the only Saturday in July that I have actual plans. :(
