Does this count as my exercise for the day?

Here's the scene...it's raining outside, I've got my umbrella so all is well. I've got my lunch bag and my work bag and I walk into my building raring to go with another fun-filled day of work, or rather just another day of work. I get to my office and start unpacking my stuff when I look into my work bag and see my parking pass. Wait. What is my parking pass doing in my bag? Shouldn't it be in my car? Ah crap!

I drove Bryan's car to work yesterday because he was going to get me a new tire for my car and when I got home I took my parking pass out of his car and put it in my bag so I wouldn't forget it today but then forgot to put it in my car. So after my five minute walk to my office from my car I realize I didn't put my pass in my car so I had to grab my umbrella and haul it back to my car to put my pass back in there. At least I didn't get a ticket. These U of U parking people can be brutal. I can count that as my exercise for day now, right? It was a work out because I was trying to be quick so I wouldn't get a ticket, that and I'm really out of shape.

Now on a dish washing note. Our freaking dishwasher isn't working and I refuse to wash any dishes by hand! Our kitchen is getting way nasty because of this refusal for manual dish washing but I just can't go back. I can't! Ugh, today is going to be "one of those days" isn't it?

Also, Bryan is out of town again until Friday, bummer... :( Poor me. I guess I'll have to fill the time watching scary movies and hanging out with The Tib. I just don't sleep very well when Bryan isn't home. I always end up staying up way later than usual when he's not around so I'm pretty tired today. More so than usual anyways because I'm pretty much always really tired.

One more thing. I committed the ultimate sin. I got a caffeine free diet coke. Really... I was just so desperate for some soda action and the Bookstore only sells caffeine fueled diet beverages and I've been caffeine free for two months now and I didn't want to ruin it. Ok I could have gotten a diet Sprite or a Fresca but I have to be in a special kind of mood to drink those things. I always made fun of people for drinking caffeine free diet coke and here I go and do it. I'm so ashamed. Let the mocking commence. I deserve it.

What did I ever do to soda?







In a rush this morning I realized I was very thirsty but instead of hauling my butt all the way up the stairs to get a glass of I water I decided to just grab a morning Diet Pepsi to enjoy on my drive to work. I grab my soda, get in the car and go to put my lovely soda into my cup holder when I realize, I have no cup holders, thanks to the unknown person or persons who decided to steal my radio. They could have at least left me my cup holders. So I go to put my drink into the center holder thing that lies between the two front seats when I realize this holder is already occupied by a can of Diet Root Beer and an unknown diet soda in a paper cup. Both these sodas still have liquid inside them so I had to chose which to throw into the garbage and risk it spilling out into the trash. I decided to pick the paper cup because it had a lid and I figured that might help deter some of the sticky mess. I pick up the cup and stick my new can of soda into its new spot and can sense immediately something is not right. The paper cup I'm currently holding over myself is leaking. That's right, there was a leak in the bottom of the cup and it's slowing dripping all over my car seats and me. So I dashed to the trash can and threw it away and decided not to change because I'm wearing black and I couldn't see any of the spills on me, so whatever. I get back into the car and start off on my merry way to work. Now for some reason I did not put two and two together and think, hey since that paper cup had a hole in it then there is most likely stray soda in the center holder, since I did not realize this I went to take a sip of my Diet Pepsi and got a fun surprise of stray soda hitching a ride on the can and got more spills on myself and the car seats. So I go to investigate the center holder and see there is a pool of old soda from the paper cup hanging out in there. Well, not much I can do about it so I go ahead and put the can of Diet Pepsi back into the soda filled holder and take careful sips here and there trying to make sure I stay over the center holder to avoid spilling everywhere. After a little while of this I realize I have a cup holder in the back seat area that I can sort of reach so I get smartish and finally use that instead of dipping the can of Diet Pepsi into the center holder pool of anonymous soda. So I ask soda, "what did I ever do to you?"

Oops, I did it again...

I totally just spilled soda all over my desk at work. This time it wasn't nice non-noticeable Sprite Zero, ohh no... This time it was freaking Diet Mountain Dew Code Red! That's right, red! Stupid elbow knocking over sodas. I'm the reason people aren't allowed to have drinks in computer labs. Luckily I didn't get any on anything electronic but I did successfully get it all over my batch cycle, which are the papers that describe how to do my job, that's all. Now they're dyed a nice shade of pink and there's pretty much no way of hiding that. Another reason I'm lucky in this instance is I happen to be the only one in the office at the moment so no one witnessed my curses, which is always good. I wonder how long it will take for someone to notice.
