gestopo

holy crap, i'm in such a good mood right now. i just watched briget jones diary (the first one), and it was soooo funny. man...

well, life is good. i'm doing well. i'm very happy. so la-dee-da. what more can i say??

on the downside (where we won't dwell long), i was right in my suspicion that knickers is planning on going to pittsburgh when i go (feb 8 to 10) this totally sux ass!!! said she wants to be there to "play mother hen". what the hell does that mean!?!?! i think she just wants to keep an eye on me, that i dress appropriately and don't do anything that would "shame the department". argh. i'm so annoyed about that!! what a bummer! that totally takes away from the whole experience. i know how to behave properly, i just choose not to. most of the time.

on the upside of things at work... i've now made it through 2 days not chronically checked my email!! hurray!! i didn't check it at all. and ironically, i'm finding i have WAY more time to talk to my colleagues because i'm not spending time emailing my friends on the job. i remember saying to laney the other week "i just don't seem to talk to my co-workers the way i used to". but the last two days frank and i have been chatting up a storm!! it was funny, yesterday this man came by to see him and saw i was in his office so was about to walk away but frank was like "its ok, we're jus shooting the shit". and that's exactly what we were doing. we have a very unusual friendship, not a lot of 26 year old girls are platonic friends with 56 year old men. like, we're good friends! today in the caf, i arrived to find mayelin not there, and april is at home with her daughter who has the chickenpox, so when frank saw i was by myself, he offered to have lunch with me so i didn't have to eat alone. i thought that was so nice.

my knee seems to be doing MUCH better. i've even stopped wearing the knee brace. for now. i'm still gonna stay off the eliptical for the next couple of weeks.

i seriously think you should reconsider the length of your sideburns

so first off, I'm so happy you're happy!
and also, I really enjoyed today's entry...
... but is there any particular reason you posted it three times?? hahaha

and I, too, am part of the sisterhood of young women with older, male, platonic friends. the men I worked with up north are such a blast! I love them to bits, even if I'd never want to kiss their dentur-ful mouths. ew. that was gross. so sorry.

ooops, my bad.

yes, i suppose being platonic friends with older men is not an elitest club. i think ALL 20 something women should ONLY EVER be plantonic friends with 50 year old men. i was gonna say, older men but errr.... that would cause a dilemia wouldn't it. um ya.

and some people really should consider getting some sideburns...

yelsel said...

hahahahaha. yes, i did think of him. hahahaha.

you know... i like being vague in my use of "her" and "him". i think it makes the readers wonder "hmmm, is she talking about me? are my sideburns too long, or perhaps too short??"

Are you saying my sideburns are too long??!! :'(

TEAM RICHKA said...

because if you don't have any sideburns at all and you are a man you could perhaps be mistaken for an alien off of star trek.

yelsel said...

bud, i don't remember what your sideburns look like at all... i'm a bad friend :(
