Sep. 11th, 2007 01:36 amWhy did I think taking an online database design class for work was a good idea right now? The HWG/IWA website, ironically enough, is one of the most frustrating sites I've had to deal with in a long time; anything script-related there really doesn't play nicely (or at all, in fact) with the firewall/proxy combination at work, so I can only work on this class at home in the evening or at Panera with a laptop over lunch. By the time I get home, I really don't want to think about work-related anything anymore. Bleah.
You know what I miss? Suave honeysuckle shampoo. I've always loved the scent of honeysuckle and I'd use that shampoo all the time as a kid. The only problem was that during the summer when I went outside to play, I'd get followed around by bees if I'd shampooed my hair the night before. COVERED IN BEES!
I've been really easily irritated this last week or so. I need a good night's sleep and a vacation, pretty much in exactly that order. I am getting a vacation week after next because I really need to burn some of my remaining three weeks and I'm going to be really freakin' busy at work until the end of the year. Sadly, it's only going to be a weekend away and the rest of the time will be spent at home doing fun and exciting things like paying bills and steam cleaning the carpets and probably taking the cat to get knocked out for a crazy expensive tooth cleaning. Woo.
This comment (in a thread where eediots were whining about how a blurb about the death of Alex the African Grey parrot didn't belong on Slashdot because it's not about the new iPod) made me choke on my coffee this morning. Someone needs to create a bird-related portal and give it that tagline "News for birds, stuff with crackers". SRSLY.
On the way home from work tonight, I was struck by the idea of a mashup that NEEDS to be made if it doesn't already exist: "Jesus Built Jerry's Hotrod" ("Jerry Was a Race Car Driver" and "Jesus Built My Hotrod"). Oh lazyweb, if you know where I can find such a thing and it doesn't suck, you must tell me.
Re-reading this shows me that clearly I need to go to bed. I think I'll do that.
