Kara & Michael’s Blog

In my current cubicle situation, I sit kitty corner (sort of) to a woman who eyes me suspiciously, just because I’m a temp. This makes me laugh, for a few reasons.

She acts as if she thinks I’m going to tattle on her conversations or complaints. Yes, I can  hear when you talk. No, I don’t [...]

Yo fatties, I’m saying this as a fat chick – take a chill pill.
I read this complaint on consumerist and I laughed and laughed. Especially at the part where she said the clerk called her fat and poor. Because if I had that discussion with a clerk, I’d do one of a few things:

I was watching The Pickup Artist 2 on VH1 last night. I was watching mostly because they referred to the host Mystery as world-famous and I’d never heard of him. The premise of the show is that Mystery is going to help a few dorks to get laid. No, really, that’s the premise.

I’m a secretary, despite my official title as administrative support or assistant or whatever it is, here.  I don’t have a hard job – I have a boring, often tedious job.  I have to remember bureaucratic processes, and stay organized.  I’m not that great at this job, but my heart isn’t really into it, either.  [...]

Now that I’ve succesfully calmed down from my four-hour drive home from work yesterday, I think I can reasonably discuss it.
I work in Annapolis, MD.  It’s a pretty city, but it’s right on the bay and surrounded by all sorts of rivers and creeks – which means, of course, loads of bridges.
It flurried, iced and [...]

WoDM signed us up for a free two-week trial of gamefly.  The first game we received was Trauma Center 2 for the wii, I haven’t played this game yet.  Yesterday, we got My Word Coach.
We sat down to play, because it beats watching tv.  I have a lot of issues with this game.

They over-explain everything.  [...]
