professional underappreciation

Everyone knows that I am a very hard worker. The fact that I'm writing this while at work is case and point. So today when someone found a pair of nice sunglasses near my cube, I took it upon myself to send out a friendly e-mail inquiring about who they might belong to. The message was as follows: Found--nice pair of sunglasses. Please stop by if you have recently lost a pair. I will administer a brief test to prove your ownership of aforementioned sunglasses so please bring a number two pencil and the periodic table of elements.

And you know what happened? Nothing. Nata. Zip. Granted, I did recycle that joke from when I found an earring in an office where I used to work. But at least they appreciated me! I got several replies from bemused coworkers and some people actually did stop by with a pencil and a copy of the periodic table! But here I am, two years later in a new office and no laughs. Has the periodic table of elements become less funny in recent months? Last time I checked it was still hilarious.

But there you have it friend. This is why you shouldn't work hard, because when you do, no one laughs and brings you a copy of the periodic table of elements. People suck.

Questionable Taste

I don't really understand why I'm so amazed by this, but Alyssa Milano has designed a line of outerwear for the New York Mets. Everything she designed is on sale, and I have no idea how long this has been going on. I have no real comments, but I thought I would just bring this to your attention.

I was wrong. She doesn't limit herself to outer wear. Go here to see her model her own t-shirts!

for the love of the blog

Last night faithful roommate and ray of sunshine TKG decided to start a blog (www.thisistherecession.blogspot.com) about good deals to help save some money during these tough economic times. She was so excited about blogging and all it had to offer. And it only served to demonstrate how neglectful I have been of this little blog of ours. Although you have been more neglectful than I have, I knew that going in and expected as much. I have no such excuse. So I would like to reassert my commitment to this blog. Like our friendship tree, it will not grow without water, and here come the rain clouds! Not much has happened lately, however His Holiness the Dalai Lama might be coming to UAlbany in April, so at least I have that to look forward too. Although two other local schools (Skidmore and RPI) denied the invitation to host his arrival, so it does kind of lessen my excitement, no one likes being sssssloppy sssseconds (or in this case sloppy thirds).

excerpt from my morning email from my mother

Also, Bristol Palin broke up with her boyfriend, and a man tried to kill himself by jumping into Niagara Falls. He survived, though he fought tooth and nail to die!
