At Last!

Finally,

After literally years of using that bulky old archaic nextel phone – the one that my young nephew once asked in all earnestness “what is that” – the one that had me spending 5 minutes just to send one sentence via text – the one that some people would ask, sometimes jokingly/sometimes not, “is that your land line cordless phone” – I have made the switch to Verizon and picked up this nifty transformer style texting machine.

Woohoo!

Bill Lumbergh Costume Wins Most Creative at Work

17582_thumb.jpg

Martinis and Vinyl and I talked about how funny it would be if I dressed up as Bill Lumbergh from Office Space for Halloween like over a year ago but I couldn’t find the right glasses. Well, actually I did find a pair at a vintage booth at last years Abbot Kinney Festival but they were like 40 bucks or something.

Anyway, I came across the perfect pair about six months ago when I was out thrift store shopping with my mom. I put the rest of the costume together less than a week before Halloween.

So when I came to the office as Bill Lumbergh the people who had seen Office Space were all cracking up. I would randomly approach someones cubicle and say “you see were putting the cover sheet on all TPS reports before they go out – did you see the memo about this??”

At one point during the party I yelled out “now I just want to let everyone know that next Friday is Hawaiian shirt day.”

It totally escaped my mind that there was a contest going on or that I would win. So I was really stoked when I heard that I won most creative.

The prize: A $50 AMEX card! :-)

Not that there’s anything wrong with that

I was having dinner with my Dad and my sister tonight and the conversation went to dating, as both my sister and I are currently single. My Dad is a fan of Seinfeld and unbeknownst to me, his latest joke to people is “hey I got a son who’s over thirty, slim, likes art and has never been married so I’ll just assume he’s gay – not that there’s anything wrong with that!”

Then I was telling them that whenever I happen to mention to my mom that I’ve met someone interesting she says: “…is she Asian?” So my sister was like “dude, no wonder you’re messed up: Your Mom thinks you have an Asian fetish and Dad thinks you’re gay!” then we all laughed out loud.

My family is the best…


I need a new cell phone!

My big old crappy phoneOK, so you know you need a new cell phone when your 9 year old nephew points to it and with the most genuinely earnest look on his face says:

 “what is that?”
