True dat

I flew back to Chicago last week for a couple of days, and even though it was a short trip, I was actually proud of myself for not losing anything! (I am notorious for losing stuff on trips! Just ask me about my trip to Costa Rica last year)
So I’m feeling all proud and organized, but [...]

I didn’t think I could do it.

I have now officially been at work for 24 hours straight (with only a 20-minute lunch to take care of some personal stuff yesterday), getting ready to launch the project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half. I’m not proud, but I am a bit surprised that the girl who usually falls [...]

Who do I look like?

Oh, this is too good. The other day, Staci posted her celebrity look-alikes, and I encouraged her readers to do the same.

I am living a Dilbert cartoon

Yesterday I scheduled a meeting to discuss metrics for an upcoming project. I then found this Dilbert cartoon and sent it out to 2 friends who I’d invited to the meeting.

pre-sleep chit-chat

“Do you ever lay there with your eyes open while you’re trying to go to sleep?”
“Uhhh, sometimes. Why?”
“Well don’t you think maybe you’d go to sleep faster if you had your eyes shut?”
(pause)
“Are you laying there with your eyes open now?”
“YAH.”
“Why?”
“Well you can’t see my eyes rolling back in my head with my eyes shut.”
