Damn Swede

Oh, I mean Lent. That is what this guy said tonight and I kind of though it was hilarious.

I went to a party thrown by Nora’s friend Van. I had a good time. All her friends are hot. What’s up with that? Hot, hot.

I was so tired today at work. I actually need to go to bed shortly. I should watch TV in bed.

I guess I don’t have much to say today. I keep typing and erasing, so I should give it up. Oh, Matt that I work with is funny. Before he left tonight he said, “Well, it was good working with you all.” I laughed and he pointed to his bag and whispered, “Personal belongings.”

Good night.

My CBD girlfriends came over for dinner tonight and it was good (mostly) clean fun. We caught up on the current goings-ons and had several good laughs. I love those girls.

The big hit of the evening was the beans; a receipe courtesy of Annie. Here goes:

Fresh green beans
Butter
Brown sugar
Almonds
Salt

In a pot, boil salted water, not enough to cover beans entirely. Once boiled, add green beans and use tongs to rotate for even cooking. Cook for two to five minutes, depending on the amount of beans. Remove from heat and cover for two to five minutes. In a sauce pan, melt butter, a teaspoon-ish of brown sugar and almonds until browned. Drain beans, toss in butter mixture and serve.

Tonight I received confirmation that my “boss” has been saying negative things about me behind my back. This is something I suspected to be true from the get-go, mostly because I knew how he talked negatively about other former co-workers. It was negative in the sense that he was trying to make himself look better by not giving (and taking) credit for someone else’s initiative. Here’s the thing though, saying negative things about your co-workers only makes you look like an asshole.

So, the Silver Bullet went to the shop over the weekend. Actually, I think I would prefer to call it “The Shoppe” because it will make me feel more upscale about the services rendered. $1,467 and you know the rest. But, the good thing is everything is fixed and it drives like new. Don’t ask me what was fixed, because I stopped writing the list was so long. I told my dad that I bought a new car, except that it is the same car I already had. But, since it is paid off, I live in the city and can get probably another 100,000 miles out of it if I take care of it, it just doesn’t make sense to trade up. At least not yet.

In unrelated news, every once in a while I dabble in online dating, mostly as a result of boredom. (Side note: I should make a website of the worst online profiles - now that would be an entertaining website.) As it turns out, I have a date on Saturday. I was not immediately offended by this guy, so I decided to give it a shot. He lives in Wisconsin and will be taking the train in (but he does have a car, he made sure I knew). Someone should tell guys how to interact with girls. Seriously. This guy called me last night and talked until midnight, at which time I insisted I had to go after my many yawns. Guys: when first calling a girl, make conversation for fifteen minutes, if you like her - ask for a date, make quick plans then HANG UP! The whole phone call should be twenty minutes tops. If this guy knew that information, I would not have been so tired at work today.

Is it concerning to anyone else that the deciding factor on whether or not to date a guy is “I wasn’t immediately offended”?
