today The Company is having an "offsite for team building"...we are going to a country club that has miniature golfing, basketball, volleyball, and batting cages. it starts at 2 pm, but we don't get fed until 4 pm. there will be beer, and it all seems well and good until you realize that it is forty degrees outside, and columbus day, and there are pets to go home and cuddle with, like dogs who wear goggles (doggles) and cats who saunter up to the arm bar and ask for a drink, but get turned away because they don't have ID.





later this week, i will get reimbursed a long-awaited $140 reimbursement from The Company. i have another $85 in my paypal account from selling various items on ebay. and i'm certain that if i take my powerpuff girls tin to a coinstar machine, there's at least another $50 in there. and that, killoggians, means that xmx may get an ipod, only two years after they officially became trendy.

last night, i wanted to watch 'desperate housewives' but the battle of the beltway was on ESPN and simulcast on ABC. apparently housewives was on at midnight instead. but, i mean, BULLSHIT. so i read the uber-gimmicky know-it-all and went to bed. i've been sick.

sneezing is pretty fun, but not after the 60th time in one day.
