Guys can just ignore this link and cringe as they think about periods. Hopefully girls appreciate this site. It’s a website that helps you keep track of your cycle and tells you when you are likely to be ovulating. More information here. Created by the lovely Heather.

- Megan: *walks in my apartment* So, are y'all on the lowest level?

Good Friday →

“In the United States, Good Friday is not a federal holiday, although it is a state holiday in some locations…. The postal service operates, and banks regulated by the federal government are not allowed to close.”
This is why I’m at work today.

“Historically, syphilis is right up there with Germans. It wiped out the Romanovs, it decimated our fleet at Pearl Harbor, and of course, Fidel Castro impersonated Marilyn Monroe and gave President Kennedy a case of syphilis so severe that eventually it blew the back of his head off.”

Green
I didn’t wear green to work. I went to the gym and forgot to wear green again. However, I was wearing blue and yellow, so if anyone pinched me I was going to say “Hey asshole, guess what happens when you mix blue and yellow?!”
gotta love these conversations at work
- Latasha: Girl, did you have fun this weekend?
- Lacey: Yeah, too much fun.
- Latasha: You got drunk?
- Lacey: Yeah.
- Latasha: What were you drinking?
- Lacey: Blueberry stoli vodka and sprite
- Latasha: I can't drink clear liquor, it makes me horny.
- Latasha: Lien, did you hear that??
- Lien: Hear what?
- Latasha: Ok good. No, seriously though, it do!

Woofs
I lost my roommate’s dog for about 9 hours yesterday. He was returned to us at 11:30pm last night. On the “Lost Dog” sign I was making, I wanted to put “Small, white Maltese with bad breath” but we didn’t want to embarrass Beaux too much.

It was a fun day
Highlight of the day was definitely getting to sing a full verse of Blues Traveler’s “Run Around” before my boss stopped me. Second favorite moment was getting my boss to drop the f bomb 4 times on the way to lunch.

A few favorites:
SUBCLAVIUS MUSCLE: A small muscle that goes from under the shoulder to the first rib to the collarbone that would be used if we walked on all fours. Some people have one, others don’t and some people have two.
APPENDIX: It used to help early humans digest all the plant material they ate. Now, more than 300,000 Americans have appendectomies each year.
WISDOM TEETH: Humans used to have to chew a lot of plants to get enough food to survive, therefore the extra teeth. Today, only about 5 percent of the population has a healthy set of wisdom teeth.

Disconnect Anxiety
”27 percent of the population suffers increased levels of anxiety when separated from their cell phones or the Internet, and that a further 41 percent suffer occasional anxiety due to communications blackout.” Here is a questionairre to help you find out if you might suffer from this malady:
- Strongly or somewhat agree with the statement “My cell phone goes everywhere I go?” It does, but I’m not one of those that talks on it when I’m with someone else. I try not to at least.
- Use your wireless device “frequently” at home instead of your home phone? I’ve never owned a home phone in the 3 apartments I’ve lived in.
- Strongly or somewhat agree with the statement “When I leave home without my cell phone, I feel cut off”? Yes, but I have 2 cell phones, (work and personal) so if I leave one, I still have the other one for emergencies.
- Spend four hours or more using the Internet—work or personal—per day on average? Most def
- Used IM (instant messenger) in the last week? I guess gchat counts, right? I haven’t used AIM in years though.
- Have a Facebook profile that you visit at least once a day? If I had internet at home and FB wasn’t blocked at work, then yes.
- Strongly agree with the statement “The world is not as safe as it used to be”? Somewhat agree
- Used a laptop in your living room or bedroom in the last week? Used it in both the living room and my bedroom - desperately trying to steal internet.
- Text-messaged on a regular cell or sent email using a BlackBerry, Treo or similar in the evenings or the weekend in the last week? Fo sho!
A positive answer to the first eight is worth one point, and the last question is worth two points. An overall score of seven or more suggests “you are a candidate to feel elevated levels of anxiety if disconnected even for a short period of time.”

My responses are in bold.

Where have all the green grapes gone?
I am about 90% positive that there is a shortage of green grapes. I have been to 2 diffferent grocery stores in the past 2 days with a main purpose of buying green grapes and both were completely out. They had tons of every other fruit imaginable, but NO GREEN GRAPES!
